All information regarding the processing of your personal data is contained in the Privacy Policy, which can be found here. - [doplnit link]

The provisions of these Terms are an integral part of the Agreement. The Agreement and Terms are drawn up in the Czech language. We reserve the right to unilaterally amend or supplement the wording of the Terms. This provision does not affect the rights and obligations arising during the validity of the previous version of the Terms.

As you are probably aware, we primarily communicate remotely. Therefore, for our Agreement, means of remote communication have been used, which enable us to agree without our simultaneous physical presence and the Agreement is concluded remotely through the E-shop environment, via the interface of the website ("E-shop web interface").

If any part of the Terms contradicts what we have agreed upon during the process of your purchase on our E-shop, that specific agreement shall take precedence over the Terms.

2. Shipping cost is the financial amount you will pay for the delivery of the Goods, including the cost of packaging;

3. Total price is the sum of the Price and the Shipping cost;

4. VAT is the value-added tax according to applicable legal regulations;

5. Invoice is a tax document issued in accordance with the law on value-added tax on the Total price;

6. Order is your irrevocable offer to enter into a Purchase Agreement for the Goods with Us;

7. User account is an account created based on the information provided by you, which allows you to store the entered data and keep a history of ordered Goods and concluded Agreements;

8. You are the person buying on Our E-shop, referred to as the buyer by legal regulations;

9. Goods refer to everything that you can purchase on the E-shop.

 

II. GENERAL PROVISIONS AND INFORMATION

1. The purchase of Goods is only possible through the E-shop web interface.

2. When purchasing Goods, it is your obligation to provide us with all information correctly and truthfully. Therefore, the information you have provided to us when ordering the Goods will be deemed as correct and truthful.

3. By placing an order (e.g. by clicking the button which finalizes the order), these Terms become binding for you. They include in particular the Complaints Procedure, Privacy Policy, Methods of Delivery and Payment and other documents which we refer to.

 

III. CONCLUSION OF AGREEMENT

1. The Agreement with Us can only be concluded in the Czech language.

2. The Agreement is concluded remotely through the E-shop, and the costs of using remote communication tools are borne by you. However, these costs do not differ from the basic rate that you pay for using these tools (especially for access to the Internet), so you should not expect any additional costs charged by Us beyond the Total price. By submitting the Order, you agree that we use remote communication tools.

3. To be able to conclude the Agreement, you must create a proposal for the Order on the E-shop. This proposal must contain the following information:

a) Information about the purchased Goods (you select the Goods you are interested in purchasing on the E-shop by clicking the "Add to Cart" button);

b) Information about the Price, Shipping cost, method of payment of the Total price, and the desired method of delivery of the Goods; this information will be entered when creating the proposal for the Order within the user interface of the E-shop, and the information about the Price, Shipping cost, and Total price will be automatically provided based on the Goods you have selected and the method of delivery;

c) Your identification and contact details required for us to deliver the Goods, in particular, your name, surname, delivery address, telephone number, and email address;

d) In the case of an Agreement under which we will regularly and repeatedly deliver Goods to you, also information on how long we will deliver the Goods to you.

4. During the creation of the proposal for the Order, you can change and verify the information until its creation. After checking by clicking the "Order with obligation to pay" button, you will create the Order. However, before clicking the button, you must confirm your familiarity with and agreement to these Terms; otherwise, it will not be possible to create the Order. The confirmation and agreement are made by a tick-box. After clicking the "Order with obligation to pay" button, all completed information will be sent directly to Us.

5. We will confirm your Order to you as soon as possible after we receive it by sending a message to the email address you provided in the Order. The confirmation will include a summary of the Order and these Terms. Confirmation of the Order from our side constitutes the conclusion of the Agreement between Us and You. The Terms effective on the day of the Order are an integral part of the Agreement.

6. There may be cases where we cannot confirm your order. This is particularly the case when the Goods are not available, or when you order more units of the Goods than we allow. However, we will always provide you with information about the maximum number of Goods that you may order in advance through the E-shop, so you should not be surprised. If there is any reason why we cannot confirm your order, we will contact you and send you an offer to conclude a contract in a modified form compared to the order. In such a case, the contract is concluded when you confirm our offer.  

7. If an obviously incorrect price is listed on the E-shop or in the order proposal, we are not obliged to deliver the Goods to you at that price, even if you have received an order confirmation, and therefore the contract has been concluded. In such a situation, we will contact you immediately and send you an offer to conclude a new contract in a modified form compared to the order. In such a case, the new contract is concluded when you confirm our offer. If you do not confirm our offer within 3 days of its dispatch, we are entitled to withdraw from the concluded contract. An obviously incorrect price is considered, for example, a situation where the price does not correspond to the usual price with other sellers, or where a digit is missing or redundant.

8. When a contract is concluded, you are obliged to pay the total price.

9. If you have set up a User Account, you can place an order through it. In this case as well, you have the obligation to check the accuracy, truthfulness, and completeness of the pre-filled information. However, the method of creating an order is identical to that of a buyer without a User Account, but the advantage is that you do not need to repeatedly enter your identification details.

10. In some cases, we allow discounts on the purchase of Goods. To provide a discount, you must fill in the details of this discount in the designated field during the order proposal. If you do so, the Goods will be provided to you with a discount.

IV. USER ACCOUNT

1. Based on your registration within the E-shop, you can access your user account.

2. When registering a user account, it is your obligation to provide all required information correctly and truthfully and update it in case of any changes.

3. Access to the user account is secured by a username and password. It is your responsibility to keep these access details confidential and not share them with anyone. We are not responsible for any misuse of these details.

4. The user account is personal, and you are not authorized to allow its use by third parties.

5. We may terminate your user account, especially if it has not been used for more than 1 year, or if you violate your obligations under the contract.

In the case of personal pick-up at the store, we will always inform you by email about the possibility of picking up the Goods.

4. Upon receipt of the Goods from the carrier, it is your obligation to check the integrity of the Goods packaging, and in case of any damage, immediately report it to the carrier and to us.

5. In the event that you fail to fulfill your obligation to accept the Goods, with the exception of cases under Article VI.4. of these terms and conditions, it does not result in our breach of the obligation to deliver the Goods to you. However, if you fail to accept the Goods, we have the right to terminate the Contract due to your substantial breach of the Contract. If we decide to exercise this right, the termination becomes effective on the day we deliver this termination to you. Termination of the Contract does not affect the right to payment of the delivery fee or the right to compensation for damages, if any.

6. If, for reasons on your part, the Goods are delivered repeatedly or in a way that is not agreed upon in the Contract, it is your obligation to reimburse us for the costs associated with such repeated delivery. We will send you the payment information for these costs to your email address provided in the Contract, and they are due 14 days from the date of delivery of the email..

7. The risk of damage to the Goods passes to you at the moment you accept it. In the event that you fail to accept the Goods, except as provided in Article VI.4 of these terms and conditions, the risk of damage to the Goods passes to you at the moment when you had the opportunity to accept it, but for reasons on your part, the acceptance did not take place. The transfer of the risk of damage to the Goods to you means that from that moment on, you bear all the consequences associated with the loss, destruction, damage, or any depreciation of the Goods.

8. In the event that the Goods were not listed as in stock in the E-shop, and an estimated availability time was provided, we will always inform you in the event of:

a) they have the properties that we have agreed with you or, if they have not been expressly agreed, the properties that we have described in the description of the Goods, or the properties that can be expected for the nature of the Goods;

3. If the Goods have a defect, in particular if any of the conditions set out in Article VII.1 are not met, you may notify us of such a defect and exercise your rights arising from defective performance (i.e. make a claim) by sending an email or letter to our addresses specified in our identification information. You may also use the model form provided by us, which is enclosed as Annex No. 1 to the Terms and Conditions, to make a claim. When exercising your rights arising from defective performance, you must choose how you want to resolve the defect, and you cannot subsequently change this choice without our consent, except in cases specified in Article 7.4. We will deal with your claim in accordance with your rights arising from defective performance.

a) rectification of the defect by delivering new Goods free of defects or delivering the missing part of the Goods;

b) rectification of the defect by repairing the Goods;

c) a reasonable discount on the Price.

However, if we do not rectify the defect in time or refuse to rectify the defect, you have the right to withdraw from the contract. You can also withdraw if you cannot use the Goods properly due to repeated defects after repairing the Goods or due to a greater number of defects in the Goods.

6. In the event of a significant or insignificant breach, you cannot withdraw from the contract or demand the delivery of a new item if you cannot return the Goods in the condition in which you received them. This does not apply in the following cases:

a) there has been a change in the condition of the Goods as a result of an inspection to identify the defect;

b) the Goods were used before the defect was discovered;

c) the inability to return the Goods in an unchanged condition was not caused by your actions or omissions,

b) wear and tear of the Goods caused by normal use;

c) used Goods for defects corresponding to the degree of use or wear that the Goods had when you received them;

VIII. WITHDRAWAL FROM THE AGREEMENT

1. Withdrawal from the Agreement, i.e. termination of the contractual relationship between Us and You from its beginning, may occur for reasons and in ways specified in this article or in other provisions of the Terms and Conditions, in which the possibility of withdrawal is expressly stated.

2. If You are a consumer, i.e. a person purchasing Goods outside of their business activity, in accordance with Section 1829 of the Civil Code, You have the right to withdraw from the Agreement without giving a reason within 14 days from the day of delivery of the Goods. If We have entered into an Agreement whose subject matter is several types of Goods or delivery of several parts of Goods, this period begins to run from the day of delivery of the last part of the Goods, and in the case of an Agreement based on which We will regularly and repeatedly deliver Goods to You, the period begins to run from the day of delivery of the first delivery. You can withdraw from the Agreement by any verifiable means (in particular by sending an email or letter to Our address provided in Our identification data). You can also use the model withdrawal form provided by Us, which forms Annex No. 2 to the Terms and Conditions.

3. However, even as a Consumer, You cannot withdraw from the Agreement in cases where the subject matter of the Agreement is:

a) Goods whose price depends on fluctuations in the financial market independent of Our will and which may occur during the withdrawal period;

b) delivery of alcoholic beverages, which can only be delivered after thirty days and whose price depends on fluctuations in the financial market independent of Our will;

c) Goods which have been adjusted to Your wishes or for Your person;

d) Goods subject to rapid decay and Goods which, after delivery, have been irreversibly mixed with other goods;

5. In the event of withdrawal from the Agreement, the Price will be returned to you within 14 days of the effective date of withdrawal to the account from which it was credited, or to the account chosen for the withdrawal from the Agreement. However, the amount will not be refunded until you return the Goods to us or prove that they have been sent back to us. Please return the Goods to us clean, if possible, including the original packaging.

6. In the event of withdrawal from the Agreement pursuant to Article VIII.2 of the Terms and Conditions, you are obliged to send the Goods back to us within 14 days of the withdrawal and bear the costs associated with the return of the Goods to us. Conversely, you are entitled to have us refund the Price for delivery, but only up to the amount corresponding to the cheapest method of delivery of the Goods offered by us. In the event of withdrawal due to our breach of the Agreement, we will also bear the costs associated with the return of the Goods to us, but again only up to the amount of the Price for delivery corresponding to the cheapest method of delivery of the Goods offered by us at the time of delivery of the Goods.

7. You are liable for any damage caused to the Goods as a result of your handling of them other than necessary in view of their nature and properties. In such a case, we will charge you for the damage caused after the Goods have been returned to us, and the payment is due within 14 days of the charge being made. If we have not yet returned the Price to you, we are entitled to set off the claim from the costs against your claim for the return of the Price.

8. We are entitled to withdraw from the Agreement at any time before delivering the Goods to you if there are objective reasons why the Goods cannot be delivered (in particular, reasons on the part of third parties or reasons related to the nature of the Goods), even before the period specified in Article VI.9 of the Terms and Conditions has elapsed. We may also withdraw from the Agreement if it is evident that you have deliberately provided incorrect information in the Order. If you purchase goods as part of your business activities, as a business person, we are entitled to withdraw from the Agreement at any time, even without giving a reason.

X. FINAL PROVISIONS

1. If our legal relationship with you contains an international element (for example, we will be delivering goods outside the territory of the Czech Republic), the relationship will always be governed by the law of the Czech Republic.

2.All written correspondence will be delivered to you by electronic mail. Our email address is provided in our identification details. We will deliver correspondence to the email address specified in the contract, user account, or the email through which you contacted us.

3. The contract may only be amended on the basis of our written agreement. However, we are entitled to change and supplement these Terms and Conditions, but such changes will not affect contracts that have already been concluded, but only those that will be concluded after the effective date of the change. We will inform you of any changes only if you have created a user account (so that you have this information if you order new goods, but the change does not establish the right to terminate the contract since we do not have a contract that can be terminated), or if we are required to deliver goods to you regularly and repeatedly under the contract. We will send you information about the changes to your email address at least 14 days before the effective date of the change. If we do not receive notice of termination of the contract for regular and repeated deliveries of goods within 14 days of sending the information about the change, the new terms will become part of our contract and will apply to the next delivery of goods following the effective date of the change. The notice period for termination is 2 months.

4. In the event of force majeure or events that cannot be predicted (natural disaster, pandemic, operational malfunctions, failure of subcontractors, etc.), we are not liable for any damage caused by or related to cases of force majeure, and if the force majeure state persists for more than 10 days, both parties have the right to terminate the contract.

5. The annexes to the Terms and Conditions include a sample form for complaints and a sample form for withdrawal from the contract.

6. The contract, including the Terms and Conditions, is archived in electronic form with us, but is not accessible to you. However, you will always receive these Terms and Conditions and a summary of the order by email, so you will always have access to the contract without our cooperation.
