These provisions define in particular the basis and extent of the Seller’s liability towards the Customer if the sold Product has a physical or legal defect (statutory warranty).

PRODUCT USE RULES – DIGITAL CONTENT AND SERVICES
This point 10. of the Regulations sets out the default rules for the use of the Products – digital content and services available on the Online Shop. These rules apply if no individual terms of use have been agreed for a particular Product or to the extent not covered by individual terms (e.g. in the case of a licence granted by the manufacturer of a particular Product, the manufacturer’s licence shall apply).
The rights to the Product, including copyrights in the case of Products which are works within the meaning of the Copyright Law, shall vest in the Seller or other authorised third parties.
On the basis of the concluded Sales Contract, the Customer shall be entitled to use the Product in the manner and to the extent necessary to use it for the purposes specified in the Sales Contract and, in the absence thereof, for the purposes for which the Product of this type is usually used, taking into account the applicable law, technical standards or good practice.
The use of the Product by the Customer is only possible for the Customer’s own use, including within the scope of the Customer’s business activity, unless the Sales Contract provides otherwise. Subject to the exceptions provided for by the generally applicable law and the contrary provisions of the Sales Contract: (1) the Customer is not entitled to make the Product available to third parties; (2) the Customer is not entitled to use the Product for commercial purposes, including to place the Product on the market; (3) the Customer is not entitled to transfer, sublicense or authorise others to use the Product; (4) the Customer shall not be entitled to copy, reproduce, modify, adapt, translate, decode, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt to interfere with the Product, unless this is necessary to ensure the proper use of the Product in accordance with the Sales Contract.

PRODUCT REVIEWS
The Seller allows its Customers to provide and access reviews of the Products and the Online Shop on terms indicated in this point of the Regulations.
The Customer can give feedback by using the form to add a review of a Product or the Online Shop. This form can be made available directly on the website of the Online Shop (including by means of an external widget) or can be made available by means of an individual link received by the Customer after the purchase to the email address provided by the Customer. When adding a review, the Customer may also add a graphic evaluation or a picture of the Product, if such an option is available in the review form.
A review of a Product may only be provided for the Products actually purchased from the Seller’s Online Shop and by the Customer who purchased the Product being reviewed. It is prohibited to enter into fictitious or sham Sales Contracts in order to give a review of a Product. A review of the Online Shop can be given by a person who is a Customer of the Online Shop.
Adding reviews by Customers may not be used for unlawful activities, in particular for actions constituting unfair competition or infringing personal rights, intellectual property rights or other rights of the Seller or third parties. When adding a review, the customer is obliged to act in accordance with the law, these Regulations and good practice.
Reviews may be made available directly on the website of the Online Shop (e.g. next to a given Product) or on an external web portal collecting reviews with which the Seller cooperates and to which it is linked on the website of the Online Shop (including by means of an external widget placed on the website of the Online Shop).
The Seller shall ensure that the published reviews of the Products come from its Customers who have purchased the Product in question. To this end, the Seller takes the following steps to check whether the reviews come from its Customers:
-
-
-
- The publication of a review submitted using the form available directly on the website of the Online Shop requires prior verification by the Seller. The verification consists in checking the compliance of the review with the Regulations, in particular checking whether the person giving the review is a Customer of the Online Shop – in this case, the Seller checks whether the person has made a purchase in the Online Shop, and in the case of a review of a Product, the Seller additionally checks whether the person has purchased the Product being reviewed. Verification takes place without undue delay.
- The Seller sends its Customers (including by means of an external web portal collecting reviews with which it cooperates) an individual link to the email address provided by the Customer at the time of purchase – in this way, access to the review form is granted only to the Customer who purchased the Product from the Online Shop.
- In case of doubts of the Seller or objections directed to the Seller by other Customers or third parties as to whether a given review comes from a Customer or whether a given Customer has bought a relevant Product, the Seller reserves the right to contact the author of the review in order to clarify and confirm that he or she is in fact a Customer of the Online Shop or has purchased the Product reviewed.
Any remarks, appeals against the verification of a review or objections as to whether a given review originates from a Customer or whether a given Customer has purchased a given Product may be made in a manner analogous to the complaints procedure laid down in point 6. of the Regulations.
The Seller shall not post or cause to be posted by another person any untrue reviews or recommendations of Customers and shall not distort the reviews or recommendations of Customers in order to promote its Products. The Seller makes both positive and negative reviews available. The Seller does not make sponsored reviews available.
FINAL PROVISIONS
Contracts concluded through the Online Shop are concluded in the Polish language.
Amendment to the Regulations:
-
-
-
- The Service Provider reserves the right to amend these Regulations for important reasons, that is: changes to the laws; changes to the methods or dates of payment or delivery, being subject to legal or regulatory obligations; changes to the scope or form of the rendered Electronic Services; the addition of new Electronic Services; the need to counteract an unforeseen and imminent threat related to the protection of the Online Shop, including the Electronic Services and the Service Recipients/Customers from fraud, malware, spam, data breaches or other cybersecurity threats – to the extent that these changes affect the implementation of the provisions of these Regulations.
- Notice of the proposed changes shall be sent at least 15 days in advance of the effective date of such changes, provided that the change may be implemented without observance of the 15-day notice period in the event that the Service Provider: (1) is subject to a legal or regulatory obligation under which it is required to amend its Regulations in a manner that prevents it from complying with the 15-day notification period; or (2) must amend its Regulations as an exception to address an unforeseen and imminent threat related to the protection of the Online Store, including the Electronic Services and Service Recipients/Customers from fraud, malware, spam, data breaches or other cybersecurity threats. In the last two cases referred to in the previous sentence, the implementation of the changes shall take place with immediate effect, unless a longer implementation period is possible or necessary, which shall be notified in each case by the Service Provider.
- In the case of contracts of a continuing nature (e.g. provision of an Electronic Service – Account), the Customer has the right to terminate the contract with the Service Provider before the expiry of the notification period for proposed changes. Such termination shall take effect 15 days after the receipt of the notice. In the case of the conclusion of a continuing contract, the amended Regulations shall be binding on the Service Recipient if he/she has been duly notified of the changes in accordance with the notification period prior to their introduction and has not terminated the contract during this period. In addition, at any time after receipt of the notification of changes, the Service Recipient may accept the changes being introduced and thus opt out of the further notification period. In the case of the conclusion of a contract of a nature other than a continuing contract, the amendments to the Regulations shall not in any way affect the rights acquired by the Customer prior to the effective date of the amendments to the Regulations, in particular the amendments to the Regulations shall not affect Orders being placed or already placed and Sales Contracts concluded, executed or performed.
- Should a change to the Regulations result in the introduction of any new charges or an increase in current charges, the consumer has the right to withdraw from the contract.
To matters not settled in these Regulations the commonly applicable provisions of the Polish law shall apply, in particular of: the Civil Code; the Act on Provision of Services by Electronic Means of 18 July 2002 (Journal of Laws of 2002, No. 144, item 1204, as amended); the Consumer Rights Act; and other relevant commonly applicable laws.
