VI. Complaints regarding physical products

The provisions of this Chapter VI shall apply only to a buyer who is a consumer and to the entrepreneur with consumer rights in the meaning of Chapter V sec. 2 and sec. 3 above.

1. All products in the Store are new. The Seller undertakes to deliver products in accordance with the contract. 
2. The Seller shall be liable for the non-conformity of products with the contract existing at the time of delivery of the product and disclosed within two years from that time, unless the shelf life of the product specified by the Seller, its legal predecessors or persons acting on their behalf, is longer. 
3. If the buyer buyer finds that the product is not in conformity with the contract, he is entitled to demand repair or replacement. The Seller may:
   - make a replacement when the buyer demands repair, or
   - make a repair when the buyer demands a replacement,
   if bringing the product into conformity with the contract in the manner chosen by the buyer is impossible or would require excessive costs for the Seller. If repair and replacement are impossible or would require excessive costs for the Seller, the Seller may refuse to bring the product into conformity with the contract.
4. The buyer shall make available the product to be repaired or replaced, and the Seller shall collect it at his expense. The cost of repair or replacement, including in particular the cost of postage, transportation, labor and materials, shall be borne by the Seller. We kindly ask to pack the defective product in such a way that the packaging protects it from damage during transportation.
5. If the complaint is justified, the Seller shall repair or replace the product within a reasonable period of time, not exceeding 21 days, from the moment the Seller was informed by the buyer of the non-conformity of the product with the contract, and without undue inconvenience to the buyer, taking into account the nature of the product and the purpose for which the buyer purchased the product.

   • The Seller has failed to bring the product into conformity with the contract in accordance with sec. 4-5 above;
   • The product's lack of conformity with the contract continues even though the Seller has tried to bring the product into conformity with the contract;
   • The product's lack of conformity with the contract continues even though the Seller has tried to bring the product into conformity with the contract;
   • The lack of conformity of the product with the contract is so significant that it justifies a reduction in price or withdrawal from the contract without first resorting to the remedies set forth in sec. 3 above;
   • It is clear from the Seller's statement or circumstances that he will not bring the product into conformity with the contract within a reasonable time or without undue inconvenience to the buyer.
7. The reduced price must remain in such proportion to the contract price as the value of the non-conforming product remains to the value of the conforming product (product without a defect). If the complaint is accepted in such a way as to justify the return of the payment made for the purchased product, the refund will be made immediately, but no later than within 14 days from the date of receipt of the buyer's statement of price reduction. The refund will be made in a manner analogous to that in which the payment for the goods was made when shopping in the Store.

9. If the non-conformity with the contract applies only to certain products delivered under the contract, the buyer may withdraw from the contract only with respect to these products, as well as with respect to other products purchased by the buyer together with the non-conforming products, if the buyer cannot reasonably be expected to agree to keep only the conforming products. 
10. In the event of withdrawal from the contract as a result of a complaint, the buyer must immediately return the goods to the Seller at the Seller's expense. The Seller shall return the price to the buyer immediately, no later than within 14 days from the date of receipt of the goods or proof of their return.

In the event of circumstances indicating a suspicion that the login or password has been accessed by an unauthorized person, please immediately notify the Seller of this fact.

A buyer who is a consumer has the possibility to use the out-of-court ways of dealing with product complaints, especially if he is not satisfied with the way the complaint was handled by the Seller.

In order to subscribe, the user has to express its consent to receive from the Seller marketing and commercial information by means of electronic communication (e.g. e-mail), as well as to the use of the user's telecommunications terminal devices (e.g. phone, tablet, computer) for direct marketing of products and services of the Seller and for the presentation of commercial information to the user.

A customer who has agreed to publish his opinion in the Store also agrees to publish his name next to the opinion.

The Seller publishes those reviews that, in his subjective opinion, most fully and fairly describe the product, its quality, workmanship, functionality and other relevant features that could help other customers make the right purchase decision.
6. The basis for the processing of personal data of a customer whose review has been published on the website is his consent (Art. 6 par. 1 (a) GPDR).
