1. Introductory Provisions
1.1 These terms and conditions define and specify the basic rights and obligations of the contracting parties in the conclusion of a purchase agreement or other agreements (hereinafter referred to as the "contract") through the website interface.
1.2 The provisions of the terms and conditions are an integral part of the contract. Deviating provisions may be agreed upon in the contract. Deviating agreements in the contract take precedence over the provisions of the terms and conditions. The wording of the terms and conditions may be amended or supplemented by the seller. The rights and obligations of the contracting parties are always governed by the wording of the terms and conditions in force at the time of their creation. The rights and obligations of the contracting parties are further governed by the Complaints Procedure for Wholesale, the Principles of Personal Data Protection, and the conditions and instructions stated on the website interface, especially when concluding a contract. In matters not regulated herein, the relationship between the contracting parties is governed by legal regulations, in particular Act No. 89/2012 Coll., the Civil Code, as amended (hereinafter referred to as the "Civil Code").
1.3 These terms and conditions apply to buyers who are entrepreneurs or legal entities.
1.4 The ownership right to the goods is acquired by the buyer upon payment of the full purchase price, but not before the goods are received.
1.5 By submitting an order, the buyer confirms that they have read these terms and conditions and agree to their content.
2. Order and Conclusion of the Contract
2.1 The website interface provides a list of goods, including a description of the main features of each item. The presentation of the goods on the website interface is for informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer by the seller to conclude a contract within the meaning of Section 1732(2) of the Civil Code. To conclude a contract, it is necessary for the buyer to submit an order and for this order to be accepted by the seller.
2.2 The buyer places an order through the website interface or by another method specified on the website interface or agreed upon by the contracting parties. The order must always include the exact name of the ordered goods (or the item number), the quantity of the goods, the chosen method of payment and delivery, and the contact details of the buyer (name and surname or company name, identification number, delivery address, telephone number, email address). The buyer must prove that they are a business entity by entering a valid identification number into the order.
2.3 The seller is not obliged to confirm the received order. An unconfirmed order is not binding on the seller. The seller is entitled to verify the order in case of doubts about its authenticity and seriousness. The seller may refuse an unverified order.
2.4 The contract is concluded at the moment when the buyer receives the acceptance of the binding order from the seller.
2.5 In case of cancellation of the order by the buyer, the seller is entitled to a cancellation fee of 30% of the price of the goods. If the seller has already incurred costs related to the contract, they are also entitled to reimbursement of these reasonably incurred costs in full.
3. Delivery Conditions
3.1 The seller is obliged to deliver the goods to the buyer in the agreed manner, properly packaged and equipped with the necessary documents. Unless otherwise agreed, the documents are provided in the Czech language.
3.2 Based on an agreement between the contracting parties, the seller may arrange transportation and insurance of the goods for the buyer during transportation. The cost of transportation and insurance is to be borne by the buyer according to the applicable carrier's tariff. The delivery of the goods to the buyer is deemed to occur upon the transfer of the goods to the first carrier. Upon delivery of the goods, the risk of damage to the goods passes to the buyer.
3.3 Before accepting the goods, the buyer is obliged to check the integrity of the packaging and promptly report any defects to the carrier. A protocol will be drawn up regarding the defects. If no protocol regarding the defects is drawn up, the buyer loses any claims arising from the damaged packaging of the goods.
3.4 Immediately after receiving the goods, the buyer is obliged to check the goods, in particular the quantity and completeness. In case of discrepancies, the buyer is obliged to notify the seller without undue delay, but no later than 3 working days from the receipt of the goods. The buyer is required to appropriately document any discovered defects and send this documentation to the seller along with the notification of the defect.
3.5 The non-acceptance of the goods by the buyer does not affect the seller's right to demand payment of the purchase price in full.
4. Payment Conditions
4.1 The buyer has the option to pay the purchase price for the goods to the seller through various methods indicated on the website interface or individually agreed upon, including:
- Non-cash payment in advance of the goods being delivered by transferring the payment to the seller's bank account based on an invoice.
- Non-cash payment after delivery of the goods by transferring the payment to the seller's bank account based on an invoice. The seller reserves the right to change this payment method in cases where it has not been agreed in advance or approved in the past.
4.2 In the case of cash payment, the price is payable upon receipt of the goods. In the case of non-cash payment, the price is payable within 14 days from the receipt of the order, unless otherwise agreed by the contracting parties. The buyer's obligation to pay the purchase price is fulfilled at the moment the corresponding amount is credited to the seller's account.
4.3 In case of non-compliance with the payment deadline according to these terms and conditions, the buyer may be charged default interest of 0.5% of the outstanding amount for each day of delay. The seller's right to compensation for damage caused by the buyer's delay in payment is not affected.
4.4 In case of the buyer's delay in payment of the purchase price, the seller is also entitled to suspend further agreed deliveries of goods until all due debts of the buyer are paid.
4.5 Payment for the goods is possible in Czech crowns (CZK).
5. Contract Termination
5.1 Until the goods are received by the buyer, the seller is entitled to terminate the purchase contract at any time. In such a case, the seller will refund the purchase price that has already been paid by the buyer, via non-cash transfer to the account provided by the buyer for this purpose or to the account from which the funds were transferred for the payment of the purchase price (unless the buyer notifies the seller of a different account within 5 days of termination).
5.2 The seller is also entitled to terminate the contract if the buyer is in default of payment for the goods for more than 4 weeks. In this case, the seller is entitled to a contractual penalty amounting to 30% of the price of the goods.
5.3 The buyer is entitled to terminate the contract if the seller is in default of delivering the goods for more than 4 weeks from the agreed date of delivery.
5.4 The buyer is not entitled to terminate the contract for goods that have been delivered properly, on time, and without defects.
5.5 Termination of the contract must be made in writing, and in the case of contracts concluded electronically, it must also be done electronically. Termination of the contract is effective upon the delivery of the notice of termination to the other party.
5.6 If a gift was provided together with the goods, the gift agreement loses its validity for either party in the event of contract termination.
