Additional information regarding the Seller’s statutory liability for Product conformity with the Sales Agreement is provided below:

  • In the case of a Product (movable item) purchased by the Customer under a Sales Agreement concluded on or before December 31, 2022, the provisions of the Civil Code in the version applicable up to that date shall apply, in particular Articles 556–576.

Under Article 558 §1 of the Civil Code, statutory warranty liability is excluded in relation to Customers who are not consumers.

  • In the case of a Product (movable item) purchased under a Sales Agreement concluded on or after January 1, 2023, the provisions of the Consumer Rights Act in the version applicable from that date shall apply, in particular Articles 43a–43g.

Detailed terms of the warranty, including the identity of the party responsible for its fulfillment and the party entitled to use it, are specified in the warranty description, e.g., in the warranty card or other related documentation. The Seller emphasizes that in case of non-conformity of the Product with the agreement, the Customer is entitled by law to legal remedies at the Seller’s expense, and the warranty does not affect these statutory rights.

6.10. The provisions set out in Section 6.8.2 concerning consumers shall also apply to a Customer who is a natural person concluding a contract directly related to their business activity, where it is clear from the content of the contract that it does not have a professional character for that person, as determined in particular by the subject of their business activity made available in accordance with the Central Registration and Information on Business (CEIDG).

(2) clear indication of the exact electronic location of the information (e.g., a precise URL or URLs), and where applicable, additional data enabling identification of the content in question, depending on its nature;
(3) the name and e-mail address of the person or entity submitting the notice (except where the content relates to criminal offences specified in Articles 3–7 of Directive 2011/93/EU);
(4) a declaration made in good faith that the information and allegations contained in the notice are accurate and complete.

Such a notice is deemed to give rise to actual knowledge or awareness under Article 6 of the DSA if it enables the Service Provider, acting diligently, to identify the illegal nature of the content or activity without detailed legal analysis.

Where the notice includes the electronic contact details of the notifier, the Service Provider shall acknowledge receipt without undue delay and inform them of its decision regarding the reported information, including available options for appeal.

The Service Provider shall review all such notices in a timely, non-arbitrary, and diligent manner. If automated tools are used in this process, the Service Provider will include relevant information in its response.

11.4. Information on restrictions regarding content submitted by Service Recipients via the Online Store:

Service Recipients are obliged to comply with the following rules when submitting any content through the Online Store:

  • Content must be submitted in accordance with the purpose of the Online Store, these Terms and Conditions, and applicable laws and good practices, respecting personal rights, copyrights, and intellectual property of the Service Provider and third parties;

  • Content must be truthful and not misleading;

  • It is prohibited to submit unlawful content, including Illegal Content;

  • Unsolicited commercial messages (spam) may not be transmitted via the Online Store;

  • Content must not breach commonly accepted standards of netiquette, and may not include vulgar or offensive language;

  • If necessary, the user must hold all appropriate rights and authorizations to share the content, including copyrights, licenses, permissions, and image or personal data rights;

  • Use of the Online Store must not endanger the integrity or security of the Service Provider’s or third-party ICT systems.

The Service Provider reserves the right to moderate content submitted by users. This moderation is performed in good faith and with due diligence, either on the Service Provider’s own initiative or upon receiving a notice, for the purpose of detecting, identifying, and removing Illegal Content or other content that violates these Terms and Conditions or restricting access to it.

Moderation may be carried out manually or with the assistance of automated or semi-automated tools. Once such content is identified, the Service Provider may remove it, restrict access to it, or take other necessary actions (e.g., contacting the user to request clarification or correction). The Service Provider will notify the user clearly and understandably of its decision, including the reason for the action taken and the available appeals mechanism (provided the user’s contact information is available).

In fulfilling its rights and obligations under the DSA, the Service Provider is committed to acting diligently, objectively, and proportionally, and to respecting the rights and legitimate interests of all parties involved, including freedom of expression, media pluralism, and other fundamental rights as set forth in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.

11.5. Any comments, complaints, appeals, or objections regarding the Service Provider’s decisions or actions taken (or not taken) based on submitted notices may be lodged in accordance with the complaint procedure described in Section 6 of these Terms and Conditions. This process is free of charge and allows for the submission of complaints electronically. Using this mechanism does not affect the right of the user to seek judicial redress or pursue other legal remedies.

11.6. The Service Provider shall consider all complaints or appeals regarding its decisions in a timely, non-discriminatory, objective, and non-arbitrary manner. If a complaint provides sufficient grounds to determine that an initial decision not to act was incorrect, or if the information concerned is not illegal or in breach of the Terms and Conditions, or the measure taken was unjustified, the Service Provider shall promptly reverse or amend the decision or take appropriate corrective action.

11.7. Service Recipients, persons, or entities who submitted notices regarding Illegal Content and who are affected by decisions of the Service Provider have the right to refer the matter to any certified out-of-court dispute settlement body designated by the Digital Services Coordinator of a Member State, especially when internal remedies have not resolved the matter.

12. FINAL PROVISIONS

12.1. Agreements concluded via the Online Store are concluded in the Polish language.

12.2. Amendments to the Terms and Conditions:

The Service Provider reserves the right to amend these Terms and Conditions for important reasons, including but not limited to: changes in the law; changes in payment or delivery methods or deadlines; compliance with legal or regulatory obligations; changes in the scope or form of Electronic Services; addition of new Electronic Services; or the need to address unforeseen and immediate threats to the security of the Online Store, including Electronic Services and the Service Recipients/Customers, such as fraud, malware, spam, data breaches, or other cybersecurity risks – to the extent that such changes affect the implementation of these Terms and Conditions.

Notification of proposed changes will be sent at least 15 days before the effective date of the changes, unless:
(1) the Service Provider is subject to a legal or regulatory obligation requiring it to amend the Terms and Conditions in a way that does not allow for such notice period, or
(2) it must exceptionally amend the Terms and Conditions to address an unforeseen and immediate threat as described above.

In the cases referred to above, changes shall take effect immediately unless a longer implementation period is possible or required, in which case the Service Provider shall inform the users accordingly.

For ongoing agreements (e.g., provision of the Account service), the Service Recipient has the right to terminate the contract with the Service Provider before the end of the notice period. Such termination becomes effective 15 days after the receipt of the change notice. In the case of ongoing agreements, the amended Terms and Conditions are binding if the Service Recipient was properly notified and did not terminate the contract within the notice period. The Service Recipient may also accept the changes at any time after receiving the notice, thereby waiving the remainder of the notice period.

In the case of non-continuous agreements, amendments to the Terms and Conditions do not affect rights acquired by the Service Recipient prior to the effective date of the changes. In particular, they do not affect Orders placed or submitted, or Sales Agreements already concluded, in progress, or fulfilled.

If a change to the Terms and Conditions results in the introduction of new fees or an increase of existing fees, the consumer has the right to withdraw from the contract.

12.3. In matters not covered by these Terms and Conditions, the provisions of generally applicable Polish law shall apply, in particular the Civil Code; the Act on the Provision of Electronic Services of July 18, 2002 (Journal of Laws 2020, item 344, as amended); the Consumer Rights Act; and other relevant provisions of applicable law.
