  1. The Buyer bears the cost of delivery, unless otherwise specified in the information presented to the Buyer on the Website.

  1. An order is considered fulfilled once the shipment is dispatched to the Buyer (handed over to the carrier responsible for delivery). In the case of delivery by a carrier, the Seller will inform the Buyer that the Goods have been prepared for shipment and have been handed over to the carrier. The exact delivery time of the Goods is determined by the carrier unless the carrier allows the Buyer to specify the date and time of delivery. If the carrier provides such functionality, the Seller will provide the Buyer with the necessary details for tracking the shipment, including a link to the carrier's website or application. 
  1. The Buyer is required to inspect the shipment promptly and in a manner appropriate for shipments of this type. If the Buyer finds that any Goods were lost or damaged during transport, the Buyer must take all necessary steps to establish the carrier's liability, such as drafting a damage report (Article 545 § 2 of the Civil Code). 
  1. The delivery time for the order is indicated with each product. The ordered Goods should be delivered to the Consumer or PNPK within 30 days, unless a longer period is expressly indicated by the Seller in the product description. In such cases, by placing an order, the Buyer consents to the longer delivery period resulting from the product description. 
  1. If the Buyer orders Goods with different delivery times, the Seller is bound by the longest delivery time among all the Goods included in the order. However, the Seller may offer to split the order into several independent shipments to expedite the delivery of part of the Goods.

  1. 14 days from the day the Consumer or PNPK, or a third party indicated by the Consumer or PNPK, other than the carrier, takes possession of the Goods. If the Contract includes multiple Goods delivered separately, in batches, or in parts, the withdrawal period runs from the possession of the last Good, batch, or part; 
  1. 14 days from the conclusion of the Contract — in the case of Contracts other than sales contracts for Goods. 
  1. The right of withdrawal does not apply to Contracts where the object of performance is: 
  1. Goods that, after delivery, are inseparably mixed with other items due to their nature; 
  1. Goods tailored to the specific needs of the Consumer or PNPK. 
  1. To withdraw from the Contract, the Consumer or PNPK must inform the Seller of their decision to withdraw from the Contract by making an unequivocal statement — for example, by letter sent by post or by email.

  1. The Consumer or PNPK bears the direct costs of returning the Goods. 
  1. In the event of withdrawal from the Contract, the Seller refunds to the Consumer or PNPK all payments received from the Consumer or PNPK, including the cost of delivery of the Goods (except for any additional costs resulting from the Consumer's or PNPK's choice of a delivery method other than the least expensive standard delivery method offered at the time of ordering), promptly, and in any case no later than 14 days from the day the Seller is informed of the Consumer's or PNPK's decision to exercise the right of withdrawal. 
  1. Refunds are made using the same payment methods as those used by the Consumer or PNPK in the original transaction, unless the Consumer or PNPK has expressly agreed otherwise. In any case, the Consumer or PNPK will not incur any fees in connection with the refund. 
  1. The Seller may withhold the refund until the Seller has received the Goods back or the Consumer or PNPK has supplied evidence of having sent the Goods back, whichever occurs first. 
  1. The Consumer or PNPK is liable for any diminished value of the Goods resulting from the handling of the Goods beyond what is necessary to establish their nature, characteristics, and functioning. The Seller is entitled to set off their claim against the Buyer for this under Article 498 of the Civil Code and subsequent articles. 

§ 11. Warranty for Defects and Liability for Goods Conformity with the Contract 

  1. The statutory warranty for defects of goods, as provided in the Civil Code, is excluded for sales contracts concluded by buyers other than Consumers or PNPK.

§ 12. Exchange or Repair of Goods Not Conforming to the Contract 

  1. If the goods are not in conformity with the contract, the Consumer or PNPK may request the repair or replacement of the goods. 
  1. The Seller may: 
  1. replace the goods when the Consumer or PNPK requests repair, or 
  1. repair the goods when the Consumer or PNPK requests replacement, if bringing the goods into conformity with the contract in the manner chosen by the Consumer or PNPK is impossible or would entail disproportionate costs for the Seller. 
  1. If repair and replacement are impossible or would entail disproportionate costs for the Seller, they may refuse to repair or replace the goods to bring them into conformity with the contract. 
  1. The Consumer or PNPK makes the goods available to the Seller for repair or replacement, and the Seller collects them at their own expense. The costs of repair or replacement, including postal charges, transport, labor, and materials, are borne by the Seller. 
  1. The Seller carries out the repair or replacement within a reasonable time, no longer than 21 days from the moment the Seller was informed by the Consumer or PNPK about the lack of conformity of the goods with the contract, and without significant inconvenience to the Consumer or PNPK, taking into account the nature of the goods and the purpose for which the Consumer or PNPK purchased them. 

§ 13. Price Reduction or Withdrawal from the Contract in Case of Non-Conforming Goods 

  1. If the goods are not in conformity with the contract, the Consumer or PNPK may submit a declaration to reduce the price or withdraw from the contract when: 
  1. the Seller has refused to repair or replace the goods as provided in § 12(3); 
  1. the Seller has not brought the goods into conformity with the contract; 
  1. the lack of conformity with the contract persists despite the Seller’s attempt to bring the goods into conformity; 
  1. the lack of conformity with the contract is so significant that it justifies a price reduction or withdrawal from the contract without first resorting to the remedies referred to in § 12(1); 
  1. it is clear from the Seller’s declaration or the circumstances that the Seller will not bring the goods into conformity within a reasonable time or without significant inconvenience to the Consumer or PNPK. 
  1. The reduced price must be proportional to the contract price in relation to the value of the goods not conforming to the contract compared to the value of goods that are conforming. 
  1. The Seller refunds the amounts due to the Consumer or PNPK as a result of the price reduction immediately, no later than within 14 days from the date of receiving the Consumer or PNPK’s declaration of a price reduction. 
  1. The Consumer or PNPK may not withdraw from the contract if the lack of conformity with the contract is insignificant. It is presumed that the lack of conformity with the contract is significant. 
  1. If the lack of conformity concerns only some of the goods delivered under the contract, the Consumer or PNPK may withdraw from the contract only with respect to those goods and any other goods purchased along with the non-conforming goods, if it would be unreasonable to expect the Consumer or PNPK to keep only the goods that conform to the contract. 
  1. In the event of withdrawal from the contract, the Consumer or PNPK promptly returns the goods to the Seller at the Seller’s expense. The Seller refunds the price to the Consumer or PNPK immediately, no later than within 14 days from the date of receiving the goods or proof of their return.

  1. After verification, the Seller may permanently block or remove Consumer Content deemed to violate the Terms and Conditions or determine that the content does not violate the Terms and Conditions.

§ 19. Reviews 

  1. The Seller provides the Buyer with the opportunity to publish a review of the Product on the Service, through dedicated online portals.

The function to publish a review of the Product is available after concluding the Purchase Agreement regarding the Product, as a safeguard against publishing reviews by Buyers who did not purchase the Product.

  1. The Buyer should formulate the review in an honest, fair, and substantive manner, as correctly as possible in terms of language, and without the use of vulgarities or other terms generally considered offensive. 
  1. A review published by the Buyer is considered Buyer Content. Therefore, the Seller may moderate reviews according to the rules set out in § 15 of the Terms, and any person browsing the content of the Service may report a review that violates the Terms according to the rules described in § 16 of the Terms. 
  1. The Seller may independently publish on the Service reviews of Products collected in ways other than through the publication of reviews by the Buyer as described above.

The Seller informs the Buyer that all content available on the Service’s pages, Digital Content, and elements of the Products (e.g., label graphic designs) may constitute works within the meaning of the Copyright and Related Rights Act of February 4, 1994, to which the Seller or other entitled entities hold copyright, as well as databases protected under the regulations on database protection. 
  1. The Seller informs the Buyer that the exploitation of content covered by copyright or the use of databases by the Buyer without the consent of the Seller or another entitled entity, except for use within the limits of permitted use, constitutes a violation of intellectual property rights and may result in civil or criminal liability. 
  1. The Seller may enter into a separate license agreement with the Buyer related to the Buyer’s use of content or databases owned by the Seller (e.g., through the use of product photographs, product descriptions, etc.). To enter into such an agreement, the Buyer should contact the Seller with a proposal to enter into a license agreement, informing the Seller, in particular, of the purposes for which they intend to use the content or databases owned by the Seller and the expected duration of use. Upon receiving such a proposal, the Seller will present an offer in accordance with its licensing policy.

§ 23. Complaints and Requests 

  1. Every Buyer has the right to submit a complaint regarding issues related to the functioning of the Service or the execution of the Agreement. To facilitate the exercise of the Consumer’s or PNPK’s rights related to the Seller’s liability for the conformity of the Product with the Agreement, the Seller has prepared a complaint form template that the Consumer or PNPK may use. The template is available at https://www.bimago.com/about-us/customer-service .
