The Seller shall be liable under the statutory warranty only for those physical defects which existed at the moment of handing the Goods over to the Consumer or have resulted from a cause inherent in the Goods as at the moment of handing them over to the Consumer. The Seller shall not be held liable for defects, including damage, destruction, changes in the Goods (e.g. fading), caused by their normal use or for any defects arising as a result of their improper use.
The colours of Goods shown in the photos in the Online Shop may differ slightly from the actual ones, depending on the monitor settings. In addition, individual batches of Goods may differ in colour. Possible differences in colour shall not constitute grounds for complaint.

The colours of Goods shown in the photos in the Online Shop may differ slightly from the actual ones, depending on the monitor settings. In addition, individual batches of Goods may differ in colour. Possible differences in colour shall not constitute grounds for complaint.
The Customer shall examine the Goods in terms of quantity and quality upon their handover. The Customer shall lose all rights to pursue any claims against the Seller connected with the purchase of the Goods if the Customer fails to examine the Goods upon their receipt or if the Customer, having examined the Goods, fails to notify the Seller immediately about noticed defects or irregularities.
All complaints shall be lodged with the Seller immediately, in paper form or as an email message, to the Seller’s addresses indicated herein. A complaint lodged shall include the following details identifying the purchase of the Goods: Order number, date of handing the Goods over, place of delivery, indication of the Goods subject to the complaint, reason for the complaint and determination of the claim (value of the claim, expected manner of complaint settlement).

A complaint to this effect can be lodged subject to the submission of a written report drafted by the Customer or a person authorised by it and an employee/representative of the delivery service provider on the date of handing the Goods over, accompanied by relevant documentation (photos, videos, etc.).
Complaints about visible physical defects other than defined in section 6 above, including about shortages, shall be reported by the Customer immediately upon their discovery, no later than within 3 (three) days from the date of handover of the Goods, unless the Seller has agreed ( in paper form or by email) to an extended time limit.

A complaint to this effect can be lodged subject to the submission of relevant documentation (photos, videos, etc.).
Complaints about hidden quality defects which could not be detected despite a thorough examination of the Goods, shall be lodged with the Seller in paper form, immediately after their detection, no later however than within 3 (three) months from the date of handover of the Goods.
Failure to lodge a complaint within the time limits stipulated above or failure to submit the required documents shall result in losing by the Customer the right to any claims against the Seller under the statutory warranty.
The Customer shall deliver the Goods subject to the complaint to a place indicated by the Seller, at the Customer’s own expense under the pain of losing the right to any claims against the Seller.
If the complaint is found valid, the Seller reserves the right to choose the way of its final settlement.
Satisfaction of the Customer’s claims in the manner described above shall exclude any further claims for compensation in this respect in the future, in particular seeking damages on general terms.
If the Seller acknowledges the Customer’s entitlement to replacement of the defective Goods with Goods free from defects, the Customer shall return the Goods being replaced in advance without any additional call for return. If the Customer fails to return the Goods within 14 (fourteen) days from the delivery of the decision on the acknowledgement of the complaint, the complaint procedure shall be deemed to be terminated and the Customer shall not be entitled to make any claims against the Seller in this respect.
The Seller shall not be held liable for any indirect or consequential loss, pure economic losses and lost profits of the Customer. In each case, the Seller’s liability shall be limited to the net price actually paid by the Customer for the Goods with which the claim for non-performance or improper performance of the obligation is connected.
The provisions on withdrawal from the agreement set out in § 8 hereof and provisions on the statutory warranty set out in § 9 hereof shall apply accordingly to a natural person concluding an agreement directly connected with his/her business activity, if it results from the wording of this agreement that it is not of a professional nature for this person, in particular as it is shown by the objects of this person’s business activity provided on the basis of the provisions on the Central Registration and Information on Economic Activity (CEIDG).
If during an Order placement process entrepreneur details (such as NIP [Tax ID No.] or REGON [Business Reg. No.]) are provided, it shall be assumed that the Customer is not a Consumer and that the Customer concludes an agreement directly connected with its business activity, and that the agreement is of a professional nature for the Customer.
The Customer who is not a Consumer and who wishes to exercise the rights referred to in section 15 above must demonstrate that the agreement concluded is directly connected with his/her business activity, but it is not of a professional nature for him/her, in particular providing the Seller with relevant documents (e.g. CEIDG printout with data accurate as at the moment of conclusion of the Agreement).
