§6 Rules for Placing Orders
-
To place an Order, the Customer selects a given Product or a larger number of Products using the “add to cart” option.

-

-
To complete the Order process in the Store, it will be necessary to:
3.1 accept these Online Store Regulations;

3.3 confirm having read the General Warranty Terms and Conditions. -

The Order placed by the Customer will be confirmed by the Seller by sending an e-mail message to the e-mail address indicated by the Customer during the Order placement.

1.1 covers multiple items delivered separately, in batches, or in parts – from taking possession of the last item, batch, or part;
1.2 involves regular delivery of items for a fixed period – from taking possession of the first item. -
The Consumer may withdraw from the Contract by submitting to the Seller a declaration of withdrawal.

-
If the Consumer withdraws from the sales contract only with respect to some of the Products covered by a single order:
9.1 the Seller will refund the part of the delivery costs related to the returned Products (i.e., the refund of delivery costs will be made in the proportion in which including the returned Products in the entire order causes an increase in its delivery costs);
9.2 those delivery costs which the Consumer is obliged to incur in connection with the delivery of the part of the Products for which the Consumer has not withdrawn from the contract are not refundable. -
The Seller may withhold the refund of payments received from the Consumer until the Product is received back or the Consumer provides proof of its dispatch, whichever occurs first.
-
The Consumer is liable for any diminished value of the item resulting from using it in a way other than necessary to establish the nature, characteristics, and functioning of the item.

§9 Complaints and Warranty
-
The Sales Contract covers new Products.
-
The Seller is obliged to deliver Products free from physical and legal defects.
-
In the event of a defect in a Product purchased from the Seller, the Consumer has the right to file a complaint based on the statutory warranty under the Civil Code (Art. 556 et seq.). If the Customer is an Entrepreneur, the parties exclude the Seller’s liability under statutory warranty. In such a case, the Entrepreneur may use the manufacturer’s guarantee under the rules set out in the General Warranty Terms and Conditions. The following rules apply only to complaints resulting from the Consumer Customer exercising rights under the statutory warranty for defects. The rules regarding the Customer’s complaint claims pursued under the guarantee of the sold Products are set out in the General Warranty Terms and Conditions. If complaint claims are made by a Consumer and there is no indication of the legal basis, in case of doubt it is assumed that the complaint is made under the guarantee.
-
The Seller is liable under statutory warranty for physical defects that existed at the moment of transfer of risk to the Consumer or resulted from causes inherent in the Product at the same time. The warranty period is two years and begins on the day the Product is delivered to the Customer.
-
If the Product has a defect, the Consumer may make a statement to reduce the price or withdraw from the sales contract unless the Seller immediately and without undue inconvenience to the Consumer replaces the defective Product with a defect-free one or removes the defect. This limitation does not apply if the Product has already been replaced or repaired by the Seller or the Seller has not fulfilled the obligation to replace the Product with a defect-free one or remove the defect.
-
The Consumer may, instead of defect removal proposed by the Seller, demand replacement of the Product with a defect-free one or, instead of replacement, demand removal of the defect unless bringing the Product into conformity with the contract in the manner chosen by the Customer is impossible or would require excessive costs compared to the method proposed by the Seller.
-
The Customer may not withdraw from the contract if the defect is insignificant.
-
A complaint should be submitted in writing or electronically to the Seller’s address or e-mail address indicated in these Regulations. The Customer may use the ready Complaint Form (Appendix No. 4 to the Regulations). The Complaint Form may also be used by a Customer who is an Entrepreneur pursuing complaint claims under the guarantee granted by the Seller, following the instructions in the form.
-
A Customer exercising rights under the statutory warranty is obliged, at the Seller’s cost, to deliver the defective Product to the Return/Complaint Product Collection Point indicated in §3 sec. 2. If, due to the type of Product or the way it was mounted, the Customer’s delivery of the Product would be excessively difficult, the Customer is obliged to make the Product available to the Seller at the place where the Product is located. The provisions of this section apply to the return of the Product in the event of withdrawal from the contract and replacement of the Product with a defect-free one.
-
The complaint should include, in particular: a concise description of the defect, the circumstances (including the date) of its detection, photos of the Product under complaint, data of the Customer submitting the complaint (name and surname, address and e-mail address), the name of the Product and its catalogue number, the date of purchase of the Product, and the Customer’s request related to the complaint. Together with the complaint, no later than within 3 days from its submission, the Customer should deliver the Product subject to complaint or, within this period, provide proof of dispatch of the Product. The Seller reserves the right to request the Customer to supplement the information contained in the complaint if the provided data are incomplete and prevent the complaint from being considered. Failure to complete the submission means the complaint procedure cannot be initiated.
-
The basis for considering complaint claims is the proof of purchase presented by the Customer. The proof of purchase or its copy should be delivered together with the complaint.
-
The Seller will respond to the complaint request immediately, no later than within 14 days from the date of receipt of a complete request for replacement or removal of the defect or from the Consumer’s submission of a statement to reduce the price specifying the amount by which the price is to be reduced; if the Seller does not do so within that period, it is deemed that the Customer’s request is justified.
-
The Seller will notify the Customer of the manner of handling the complaint by sending a message to the e-mail address or, if this address is not available, to the Customer’s postal address.
-
If, under the statutory warranty provisions, the Seller delivers a defect-free product, the Seller may simultaneously demand the return of the defective Product.
-
After the complaint procedure is completed, a Customer who is a Consumer may use out-of-court complaint handling and redress procedures. In particular, the Consumer may use the mediation procedures provided by Voivodeship Inspectorates of Trade Inspection or permanent consumer arbitration courts operating at the Voivodeship Inspectorates of Trade Inspection. Detailed information on out-of-court complaint handling and redress procedures, as well as rules for access to these procedures, is available at the offices and on the websites of district (municipal) consumer ombudsmen, social organizations whose statutory tasks include consumer protection, and Voivodeship Inspectorates of Trade Inspection. Important information in this regard can also be found on the website of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection: www.uokik.gov.pl. In the event of a dispute involving a Consumer, the online ODR platform available at http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/ may also be used. Using out-of-court complaint handling and redress procedures is voluntary and may take place only if both parties to the dispute agree. The above provision is for information purposes only and does not constitute the Seller’s consent to participate in out-of-court dispute resolution.
