I. Use of Business Conditions

• The Business Conditions govern, in accordance with Section 1751 (1) of the Civil Code, the mutual rights and obligations of the contracting parties - the Supplier and the Buyer - arising in connection with or on the basis of the Purchase Contract. These Business Conditions do not deal with the relationship between the Supplier and the consumer, as the Online Store is not intended for consumers.
• Provisions deviating from the Business Conditions may be agreed to in the Purchase Contract. Deviating provisions in the Purchase Contract take precedence over the Business Conditions.
• The provisions of the Business Conditions form an integral part of the Purchase Contract.
• The Business Conditions may be amended or supplemented by the Supplier. This provision does not affect the rights and obligations arising during the effect of the previous version of the Business Conditions. Therefore, the Supplier informs about the possibility of amending or supplementing the Business Conditions to ensure that the Buyer is aware of this possibility and always knows the current Business Conditions before sending the order.

II. User account

• The Buyer registers in the Online Store for ordering, tracking the order history, getting more affordable prices, free shipping, etc.
• When registering and ordering the Goods, the Buyer is obliged to provide correct and true information. The Buyer is obliged to update the data stated in the user account in case of any changes thereof, otherwise the Supplier shall not be liable for any delay in the delivery of the Goods, for a failure to deliver the ordered Goods, etc. due to the Buyer’s failure to provide current information. The data stated by the Buyer in the user account and when ordering the Goods are considered by the Supplier to be correct and need not be further verified.
• User account access is secured by a username and a password. The Buyer is obliged to maintain confidentiality regarding the information necessary to access its user account and not to disclose such information to a third party. The Supplier is not liable for any misuse of such information, unless it is caused by the Supplier’s breach of its obligations. In case the Buyer discovers that its access data has been, or could have been, made available to a third party, the Buyer is obliged to change the access data (password) or if this is not possible (for example, the password has already been changed by a third party and cannot be changed using the "forgotten password" function, etc.) to inform the Supplier without delay in order to agree on the following procedure. The Buyer is not entitled to allow third parties to use the user account.
• The Supplier may cancel the user account, especially if the Buyer does not use its user account for more than 12 months, or if the Buyer grossly violates its obligations under the Purchase Contract (including the Business Conditions).
• The Buyer understands that the user account may not be available continuously, especially with regard to the necessary maintenance of hardware and software equipment of the Supplier, or necessary maintenance of hardware and software of third parties. The Supplier shall attempt to inform customers in advance of the planned shutdowns of its website.

III. Goods and prices

• The Online Store contains information about the Goods, including the prices of the individual pieces of Goods. All presentation of the Goods placed in the Online Store is informative. The actual form of the Goods may differ from the one shown in the picture, especially in terms of colour, etc. due to the impossibility of accurate capturing the form of the Goods by technical means. The Supplier reserves the right to change this presentation of the Goods. The information on the availability of the Goods displayed with the Goods is updated manually, once a day, i.e. at a certain moment the inventory listed in the Online Store may not correspond to the actual situation in the stock. In addition, during the time when the Buyer makes an order, the status of the inventory may change as a result of another customer's completed order.
• The minimum value of the Goods ordered within one order is 100 EUR excluding VAT. Orders for Goods at a lower price will not be considered.
• The Supplier is entitled to grant each Buyer an individual discount on some or all of the Goods.
• Prices displayed with the Goods are always final and include the currently granted discount amount. The customer must be logged in to view the prices.
• The prices of Goods are exclusive of value added tax, unless expressly stated otherwise, excluding shipping and packaging costs, insurance, customs clearance and any local taxes associated with the purchase of the Goods and their transportation to the place required by the Buyer.
• The purchase price of the Goods is payable within the period specified on the invoice - the tax document of the Supplier, usually within 30 days from issuing the tax document, unless agreed or specified otherwise, to the Supplier's account specified in the relevant tax document. The invoice is issued by the Supplier at the same time as the Buyer's order is received. The Supplier may set a longer maturity for individual customers with respect to their payment history, the value of the ordered Goods, etc.
• The payment day for the purposes of the Contract means the day of crediting the paid amount to the account of the Supplier at its bank.
• In particular in case of new customers, the Supplier may require the payment of the purchase price before shipment of the Goods.
• In case the Buyer is in delay with the payment of the purchase price of the Goods under the Purchase Contract for more than 10 days, the Supplier may, at its discretion:
• for all other Purchase Contracts (i.e. even those that will be concluded after the payment of the outstanding amount by the Buyer), or for some of them, require the payment of the purchase price of the Goods in accordance with the Purchase Contract in advance in cash (if applicable with regard to effective legal regulations), or by prepayment - advance - invoice (up to 100% of the purchase price of the Goods),
• suspend the performance under already concluded Purchase Contracts up to the moment of settlement of all Buyer's obligations to the Supplier, for which the delay period specified above was exceeded; the period for the delivery of Goods shall commence on the day following the day of removal of the above-defined obstacle and shall be extended by three business days beyond the delivery period of the Goods.  
• The Parties have agreed that the Supplier is entitled to set off mutual receivables, where in case the Buyer is in delay with the payment of the purchase price of the Goods, the Supplier is entitled to set off even its receivables from the Buyer for which their maturity has not yet occurred. The Buyer expressly agrees with this.
• In case of delay in the payment of the purchase price of the Goods under the Purchase Contract for more than 30 days, the Buyer is obliged to come to the Supplier's registered office upon prior agreement, unless another place is agreed, in order to resolve and correct this defective condition as soon as possible, especially for example for the purpose of signing the recognition of an obligation, entering into an agreement to settle the obligation overdue, or agreeing on a calendar of payments, if the Supplier offers to the Buyer such an agreement, etc.

IV. Concluding the Purchase Contract 

• The Purchase Contract is concluded on the basis of an order of the Buyer, which is considered a proposal to conclude a contract, and the acceptance of the order by the Supplier. The concluded contract is archived by the Supplier mainly for the purpose of its successful performance and related keeping records and is not accessible to third non-interested parties.
• To order the Goods, the Buyer shall complete the order form in the Online Store. The order form contains mainly information about:
  • the Buyer
  • the ordered Goods (the Buyer inserts the ordered Goods into the electronic shopping cart of the Online Store),
  • the method of payment of the purchase price of the Goods, details of the required method of delivery of the ordered Goods and
  • Information about the cost associated with the delivery of the Goods.
• Since the order is made after the Buyer's login to the user account, the Buyer's data is automatically pre-filled, but it can be changed.
• The Buyer sends the order to the Supplier by clicking on the "Send Order" button. The order is binding.
• After sending the order, the Buyer shall receive an e-mail with a summary of the order. This is not an acceptance of the order and the Purchase Contract is not concluded at that moment. The contractual relationship between the Supplier and the Buyer arises at the moment of the acceptance of the order. The acceptance of the order may be made either by telephone, by a Supplier's authorized employee, or by e-mail sent to the Buyer to the Buyer’s electronic e-mail address by the Supplier.
• The Supplier is not obliged to conclude the Purchase Contract regarding the Goods, i.e. to accept the Buyer's order, especially if the Goods are no longer manufactured or delivered, if they are found unsuitable for use, etc., if the stock quantity is insufficient, etc. In case the last-mentioned situation occurs, the Supplier shall immediately contact the Buyer to agree on further procedure.

V. Business framework, common provisions 

• The Supplier is entitled to provide the Buyer with a Business Framework. The Business Framework is usually provided to buyers with a good payment history, usually worth EUR 2,000. In case the Business Framework is exceeded, the Supplier is entitled to refuse to deliver the Goods under the Purchase Contract to the Buyer and to withdraw from the Purchase Contract (or contracts) already concluded by which the Business Framework is exceeded, or if the Supplier does not refuse to deliver the Goods to the Buyer and does not withdraw from the Purchase Contract, the period for the delivery of the Goods shall be suspended during the period of exceeding the Business Framework by the Buyer and shall commence on the day following the day of removal of the set obstacle and shall be extended by three working days beyond the time period for the dispatch of the Goods.
• The Goods remain the property of the Supplier until the full payment of the purchase price of the Goods by the Buyer, but if it is paid prior to the handover of the Goods to the Buyer, the Buyer acquires the ownership of the Goods upon receipt of the Goods. The Buyer is not entitled to further process the Goods the purchase price of which has not yet been paid to the Supplier in full, i.e. the Goods that are (with respect to the reservation of the right of ownership) owned by the Supplier; nor is the Buyer entitled to sell such Goods or otherwise transfer the right of ownership of such Goods to a third party; furthermore, it is not entitled in particular to stop or in any way reduce, even temporarily, the value of the Goods.

In case no agreement is reached in this respect, the Buyer shall be deemed not to require transportation and it shall be proceeded according to the first clause of this paragraph. Unless agreed otherwise, the Buyer shall bear all costs of the transport of the Goods. The period for the final delivery of the Goods depends on the destination and conditions of the selected carrier.

Any quantity defects and any apparent defects must be claimed by the Buyer or the Buyer's Authorized Employee at the moment of the handover of the Goods, by writing the defects in the delivery note. The Buyer/the Buyer's Authorized Employee and the Supplier/the Supplier's Authorized Employee shall certify these facts by their signatures. The Supplier/the Supplier’s Authorized Employee is entitled to ask the person accepting the Goods, or the person who declares that it is authorized to accept the Goods, to prove that the person is the Buyer/the Buyer’s Authorized Employee.

• The risk of damage to the Goods passes to the Buyer at the moment of proper delivery of the Goods by the Supplier to the Buyer, i.e. at the moment when the Buyer takes over the Goods from the Supplier or if the Buyer fails to do so in time, at the moment when the Supplier allows the Buyer to handle the Goods and the Buyer breaches the Purchase Contract by not taking over the Goods.
