In addition, from 1 January 2021 and for contracts concluded from that date onwards, this section of the Terms and Conditions and all provisions contained therein are not directed at and thus do not bind a Customer or Service Recipient who is a natural person concluding a contract directly related to his/her business activity, when it follows from the content of that contract that it is not of a professional nature for that person, resulting in particular from the subject of his/her business activity, made available on the basis of the provisions on the Central Register and Information on Business Activity, unless the application to such persons of the provisions contained in this section of the Terms and Conditions is not prohibited.

9.2.       The Seller shall have the right to withdraw from the Sales Agreement within 14 calendar days from the date of its conclusion. Withdrawal from the Sales Agreement in this case may take place without giving any reason and does not give rise to any claims on the part of the Customer against the Seller.

9.3.       The Seller's liability under warranty for the Product or for the Product's non-conformity with the Sales Contract shall be excluded.

9.4.       The seller will respond to the complaint within 30 calendar days of receipt.

9.5.       The Seller shall have the right to limit the available payment methods, including requiring prepayment in full or in part, regardless of the payment method chosen by the Customer and the fact of concluding the Sales Agreement.

9.6.       The Service Provider may terminate the contract for the provision of Electronic Services with immediate effect and without indicating reasons by sending the Service Recipient an appropriate statement.

9.7.       The liability of the Service Provider/Seller towards the Client/Customer, irrespective of its legal basis, is limited - both within the framework of a single claim as well as for all claims in total - to the amount of the price paid and the delivery costs under the Sales Agreement, but no more than one thousand zlotys. The limitation of the amount referred to in the preceding sentence shall apply to all claims made by the Customer/Client against the Service Provider/Seller, including in the event of the absence of a Sales Agreement or not related to a Sales Agreement. The Service Provider/Seller shall only be liable to the Service Recipient/Customer for typical damages foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the contract and shall not be liable for lost profits.

10.  PRODUCT REVIEWS

10.1.     The Seller allows its Customers to issue and access opinions about the Products and the Online Shop under the terms and conditions indicated in this section of the Terms and Conditions.

10.2.     It is possible for the Customer to give an opinion on a Product or on the Online Shop using a feedback form. This form may be made available directly on the website of the Online Shop (including through an external widget) or may be made available through an individual link received by the Customer after purchase to the e-mail address provided by the Customer. When adding an opinion, the Customer may also add a graphic rating or a picture of the Product - if such an option is available in the opinion form.

10.3.     An opinion on a Product may be issued only for the Products actually purchased from the Seller's Online Shop and by the Customer who purchased the Product being reviewed. It is prohibited to conclude fictitious or sham Sales Agreements in order to issue an opinion on a Product. An opinion about the Online Shop may be issued by a person who is a Customer of the Online Shop.

10.4.     Adding opinions by Clients may not be used for illegal activities, in particular for activities that constitute an act of unfair competition or activities that infringe personal rights, intellectual property rights or other rights of the Seller or third parties. When adding an opinion, the Customer is obliged to act in accordance with the law, these Terms and Conditions and good morals.

10.5.     Opinions may be made available directly on the website of the Online Shop (e.g. next to a given Product) or on an external opinion-gathering service with which the Seller cooperates and to which it is linked on the website of the Online Shop (including by means of an external widget placed on the website of the Online Shop).

10.6.     The Seller shall ensure that published reviews of Products come from its Customers who have purchased the Product in question. To this end, the Seller shall take the following steps to verify that the reviews come from its Customers:

  • Publication of an opinion issued using a form available directly on the website of the Online Shop requires prior verification by the Service Provider. Verification consists in checking the compliance of the opinion with these Terms and Conditions, in particular checking whether the person giving an opinion is a client of the Online Shop - in this case, the Seller checks whether that person has made a purchase at the Online Shop, and in the case of an opinion on a Product, the Seller additionally checks whether that person has purchased the Product being reviewed. Verification takes place without undue delay.

  • The Seller sends its Customers (including by means of an external feedback service with which it cooperates) an individual link to the e-mail address provided by the Customer at the time of purchase - in this way, access to the feedback form is granted only to the Customer who purchased the Product from the Online Shop.
  • In the case of doubts of the Seller or objections directed to the Seller by other Customers or third parties as to whether a given opinion comes from a Customer or whether a given Customer has bought a given Product, the Seller reserves the right to contact the author of the opinion in order to clarify and confirm that he or she is in fact a Customer of the Online Shop or has purchased the Product reviewed.
10.7.     Any comments, appeals against the verification of an opinion, or objections as to whether a given opinion comes from a Customer or whether a given Customer has bought a given Product may be made in a manner analogous to the complaint procedure indicated in section 6 of the Terms and Conditions.
10.8.     The Seller shall not post or cause to be posted by another person any untrue opinions or recommendations of Customers and shall not distort the opinions or recommendations of Customers in order to promote its Products. The Seller provides both positive and negative reviews. The Seller does not provide sponsored reviews.

12.  FINAL PROVISIONS

12.1.     Contracts concluded through the Online Shop are concluded in the English language.

12.2.     Amendment of the Rules of Procedure:

  • The Service Provider reserves the right to amend these Terms and Conditions for important reasons, that is: changes to the law; changes to the methods or dates of payment or delivery, being subject to legal or regulatory obligations; changes to the scope or form of the Electronic Services provided; the addition of new Electronic Services; the need to counteract an unforeseen and imminent threat related to the protection of the Online Shop, including the Electronic Services and the Service Recipients/Customers from fraud, malware, spam, data breaches or other cyber security threats - to the extent that these changes affect the implementation of these Terms and Conditions.
  • Notice of the proposed changes shall be sent at least 15 days in advance of the effective date of such changes, subject to change may be made without observance of the 15 day notice period where the Service Provider: (1) is subject to a legal or regulatory obligation under which it is required to amend its Terms and Conditions in such a way that it is unable to comply with the 15-day notification period; or (2) needs to amend its Terms and Conditions on an exceptional basis to address an unforeseen and imminent threat related to the protection of the Online Shop, including the Electronic Services and the Service Recipients/Customers from fraud, malware, spam, data breaches or other cyber security threats. In the last two cases referred to in the preceding sentence, the implementation of changes shall take place with immediate effect, unless a longer implementation period is possible or necessary, which shall be notified by the Service Provider in each case.
  • In the case of contracts of a continuing nature (e.g. provision of an Electronic Service - Account), the Customer has the right to terminate the contract with the Service Provider before the expiry of the notification period of the proposed changes. Such termination shall take effect within 15 days of receipt of the notification. In the case of a continuous contract, the amended Terms and Conditions shall be binding on the Service Recipient if the Service Recipient has been duly notified of the changes in accordance with the notification period prior to their implementation and has not terminated the contract during this period. In addition, at any time after receipt of the notification of the changes, the Service Recipient may accept the changes being made and thus waive the continuation of the notification period. In the case of the conclusion of a contract of a nature other than a continuing contract, the amendments to the Terms and Conditions will in no way affect the rights acquired by the Service Recipient prior to the effective date of the amendments to the Terms and Conditions, in particular, the amendments to the Terms and Conditions will not affect Orders already placed or placed and Sales Contracts concluded, executed or performed.
  • Should a change to the Terms and Conditions result in the introduction of any new charges or an increase in current charges, the consumer has the right to withdraw from the contract.

12.3.     Matters not covered by these Terms and Conditions shall be governed by generally applicable provisions of Polish law, in particular: Civil Code; the Act on Provision of Electronic Services of 18 July 2002 (Journal of Laws 2002 No. 144, item 1204 as amended); the Consumer Rights Act; and other relevant provisions of commonly applicable law.

12.4.     These Terms and Conditions do not exclude provisions in force in the country of habitual residence of the consumer concluding a contract with the Service Provider/Seller which cannot be excluded by contract. The Service Provider/Seller shall in such a case guarantee the consumer the protection afforded to him/her on the basis of provisions that cannot be contractually excluded.
