The Customer will be bound by the Terms and Conditions until they place the Order. The Seller does not specify the minimum value of the Order at the Online Store.
The contents of the Sale Contracts are kept in the computer system of the Online Store for as long as the Customer has an Account at the Online Store, and their contents are provided only to the parties to the Sale Contract. After logging in to the Account, every Customer has access to all of the Sale Contracts they have signed via the website of the Online Store for as long as they are kept in the computer system referred to in the first sentence.

After accepting the transfer, the Client is redirected back to the Online Store. Payments using the PayPal payment system are processed by PayPal (Europe) S.à.l. & Cie, SCA with its registered office at L-1150 in Luxembourg, and payments by PayU are processed by PayU S.A. with its registered office in Poznań at ul.

The total cost of the delivery of the Products (i.e., Price of the Products with the costs of the selected Order delivery method) is visible to the Customer when they place the order, in the e-mail confirming the Order and after logging in to the Account in the “Orders” section. No extra costs will be charged to a Consumer or Consumer-Entrepreneur without their express consent.

PART VI – ORDER DELIVERY:

The Price is binding for the particular Order as of the time of Order placement. The Customer will be routinely informed of the changing status of the Order by e-mail.
The Order will be cancelled if it is not paid for within 5 Business Days from the execution of the Sale Contract.
The time of commencement of Order delivery starts after the payment is credited to the Seller’s bank account (for payments by conventional transfer) or after receiving information about the payment through the electronic payment system selected by the Customer. Products available in stock are usually sent within 1–3 Business Days from the commencement of Order processing. The Products are sent to the Consumer or Consumer-Entrepreneur no later than within 30 days, unless the Parties agree upon a different period in the Sale Contract.
If the Order includes Products that are not available in stock, the Seller will promptly notify the Customer about this by e-mail or phone. The Customer may cancel the entire order or decide not to order the missing Products, consent to a longer Order delivery time, delivery of a part of the Order or replacement of the missing Product with another Product with similar properties and Price.
The Seller delivers the ordered Products within the Republic of Poland, to EU states and to the United States of America, Canada and Australia. If the Products are to be sold to other countries, the Customer is requested to promptly contact the Seller in order to agree upon individual terms of the Sale Contract.
Specific information about costs and delivery periods can be found in the DELIVERY AND RETURN section.
The Customer will collect the ordered Product and/or pay the Price of the Order indicated by the Seller.
If the Customer is not a Consumer or Consumer-Entrepreneur, the Seller remains the owner of the Products until the Price is paid.
After the Order is collected from the courier company, the Customer is requested to check in the presence of the courier if both the package and the Products it contains are free from damage caused during transport, if they are whole and if they conform to the Order. The verification of the package is a free service that guarantees the highest quality of service. If it is found that the package is damaged, incomplete or inconsistent with the Order, the Customer is requested to draw up a damage report in the presence of the courier and promptly notify the Seller.
A VAT invoice is issued for all Products sold; the invoice constitutes written confirmation of the contents of the Order and executed Sale Contract. The Prices of the Products specified in the Online Store are the same for EU states and countries outside the EU, but they include a different rate of VAT (value added tax).
Different rates of VAT apply in different EU member states. The VAT rate on the invoice will be the VAT rate of the destination country of the Customer.
VAT rate for non-EU countries is 0%. Since the costs of delivery to these countries are much higher than the costs of delivery in the EU, the difference in VAT covers most of the actual shipping costs.
The Seller will deliver the Products without any Defects other than all defects indicated in the sales offer on relevant Product Pages at the Online Store.

PART VII – RIGHT TO WITHDRAW FROM THE CONTRACT:

According to Article 27 of the Consumer Rights Act, the Seller has to advise of the right of any Consumer and Consumer-Entrepreneur to withdraw from the Sale Contract for convenience. The Seller provides for a 30-day period for withdrawal from the Sale Contract.
The period for withdrawal from the Contract expires after 30 days from the date on which the Consumer or Consumer-Entrepreneur has come into possession of the Products or on which the Products have become the possession of a third party indicated by the Customer, other than the carrier. In order to comply with the period for withdrawal from the Sale Contract, it is sufficient to send the notice of withdrawal from the contract before the lapse of the period for withdrawal from the Sale Contract.
To exercise the right to withdraw from the Sale Contract, the Customer has to inform the Seller of the decision to withdraw from the Sale Contract by submitting an unambiguous statement (e.g., in the form of a letter sent by mail or e-mail). If the notice of withdrawal from the Sale Contract is sent to the Seller by e-mail, the Seller will promptly send back confirmation of the receipt of the Customer’s notice on a permanent medium (e.g., by e-mail).
Consequences of the withdrawal from the Sale Contract: The Seller will promptly refund all payments received from the Consumer or Consumer-Entrepreneur, including the costs of Product delivery (excluding additional costs resulting from the Consumer or Consumer-Entrepreneur having selected a delivery method other than the delivery method offered by the Seller), in any case within 30 days from the date on which the Seller was informed of the decision to withdraw from the Sale Contract. The Seller will refund the payment using the same payment method as the one used by the Consumer or Consumer-Entrepreneur during the initial transaction, unless they expressly consent to a different refund method; in any case, the Consumer or Consumer-Entrepreneur will not bear any charges in connection with such a refund.
The party withdrawing from the Sale Contract is requested to deliver the returned Products to the address of the Seller: PAULINA BLACHURA studio b3 Góra Libertowska 45 2 Flor 30-444 Libertów, Poland, promptly, but in any case not later than within 14 days from the date on which the Consumer or Consumer-Entrepreneur has informed the Seller of the withdrawal from the Sale Contract. The period will be deemed to be observed if the withdrawing party sends back the Products before the lapse of 14 days. The Consumer or Consumer-Entrepreneur will have to pay the direct costs of the return of the Products to the Seller.
The Consumer or Consumer-Entrepreneur will only be responsible for reduction of the value of the Products caused by any use of the Products other than the use necessary to determine their nature, properties and functioning. The Consumer or Consumer-Entrepreneur is requested to accordingly protect the returned Products.
The Seller informs that, according to Article 38 of the Consumer Rights Act, the Consumer or Consumer-Entrepreneur does not have the right to withdraw from the Sale Contract if it concerns a non-prefabricated item, manufactured according to non-standard specifications of the Consumer or Consumer-Entrepreneur or is intended to satisfy their individual needs.
If the Order is delivered to an address of the Consumer or Consumer-Entrepreneur in an EU state or in a country outside the EU, the period for withdrawal from the Sale Contract for convenience will be 30 days from the day on which the Consumer or Consumer-Entrepreneur has come into possession of the Products or on which the Products have become the possession of a third party indicated by the Customer, other than the carrier.

PART VIII – COMPLAINTS:

The Seller is responsible for defects of the Products under the principles of liability defined in the Civil Code, including, in particular, Article 556 and Articles 556(1) to 576.

The specific procedures for using the assistance of the Trade Inspectorate can be found on their website and at www.uokik.gov.pl in the “Resolution of consumer disputes” section and in the “Important addresses” section. Out-of-court pursuit of claims after the complaint procedure is free of charge. If the Customer is a Consumer who wishes to exercise the right to out-of-court pursuit of claims, they can additionally file a complaint through the ODR online platform of the EU, available at http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr.
