4. Contracting Principles

4.1 Warranted Characteristics: The Parties are entering into the Sales Contract on reliance of the warranted characteristics Seller may request copies of  documents substantiating these characteristics. Without prejudice to any other remedies, Seller may annul or terminate the Sales Contract, at Customer’s   expense, upon learning that any of these warranted characteristics is not met.

If Customer is a natural person (Consumer), they warrant that it is of sufficient legal age in the country in   which they have entered into the Sales Contract to be able to validly enter  into a Sales Contract, or, if otherwise, they have acquired the necessary consent of a parent or guardian. The Seller is not obliged to, and is, for practical reasons, precluded from the possibility to verify Customer’s age and whether the above conditions are met, therefore, the related liability lies entirely with Customer. 

If the Webshop allows for legal entities to purchase then such Customer warrants that it is entering into the Sales Contract as an independent professional with an already existing business not dedicated primarily to the sale or distribution of the Products and not as a consumer, employee, or agent. Customer further warrants that it has all the resources, administrative  authorizations, and professional qualifications to execute its obligations under the present Terms & Conditions and/or a Sales Contract.

Customer warrants that its execution of the obligations or requirements under the present Terms & Conditions and/or a Sales Contract do not and will not violate any other contract to which it is bound or any provisions of Applicable Law or local law.

4.2 Entire Agreement: With respect to its subject matter, the present Terms & Conditions and/or a Sales Contract constitute the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes all previous negotiations, agreements, and commitments between them, whether oral or written, and in particular any Customer general terms of

4.3 Modifications: The present Terms & Conditions can be modified by Seller at any time at Seller’s discretion, without Any modification of the present Terms & Conditions affect the use of the Webshop and the purchases made only after the publication of the modified Terms & Conditions on the Webshop.

4.4 Severability: If any term of the present Terms & Conditions and/or a Sales Contract is invalid, void, or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the other provisions therein shall remain binding between them. If such remaining terms are insufficient to organize a workable contractual relationship achieving the Purpose, the Parties shall substitute clauses that achieve this result and that are as close as possible to the original

5. Product characteristics & availability

5.1 All relevant information related to the Products, such as their characteristics, technical parameters, and the applicable Purchase Prices are indicated to Customer on the product page of the given Product. Should you have any questions regarding a certain Product, we are kindly at your disposal at the Customer Service contacts indicated in Section 3.

5.2 If stock availability is indicated on the product page, such indication is merely for informational purposes. Seller does its best to present up-to-date information on the availability of the Products, however, due to the constant and quick changes in stock availability, it cannot warrant the accuracy of the presented information. For information on payments effectuated in relation to purchases of Products having run out of stock during the ordering/payment process, see Section 9 below.

6. Purchase Prices

6.1 Purchase Prices include VAT but, unless otherwise indicated on the Webshop, exclude shipping costs, which will be indicated to Customer separately, and will be added to the Purchase Price upon checkout.

6.2 Purchase Prices are subject to change at any time at Seller’s discretion. Such changes are applicable from the time the modified amount appears on the Webshop, however, such changes do not affect the Orders which Seller has already accepted in accordance with Section 7.3.

6.3 If an incorrect Purchase Price is indicated in the Webshop, Seller is not obliged to sell the given Product at the incorrect Purchase Price, even if it has already accepted the Order. A Purchase Price shall be considered incorrect if there is any typographical, clerical or other accidental error, or it is, due to either technical or human errors, obviously false and unreasonable, since it significantly differs from the well-known, generally accepted price of the given product type or that of similar products.

Upon noticing the error, Seller shall notify Customer thereof, and offer to Customer to sell the Product at the corrected Purchase Price, in which case Customer shall be entitled to cancel the Order and get a full refund of all payments made in consideration of the Products, including shipping costs. If Customer accepts the corrected Purchase Price, but payment of the incorrect Purchase Price has already been performed, Seller shall inform Customer how it can perform payment of the remainder of the corrected Purchase Price.

7. Ordering Process

7.1 Selection of the Products, Checkout, Correction of Data Entry Mistakes

Customer can select the Products they wish to purchase by adding them to the virtual cart by selecting the quantity of the given item on the product page and clicking on “Add to cart”. A Cart pop-up window automatically opens, indicating that the Product has been added to the cart. The pop-up window can be closed by clicking on the “X” in the top right corner, or clicking anywhere outside of the pop-up window. Customer can also access the cart directly from this pop-up window by clicking on “View cart”, and can also proceed directly to checkout by clicking on “Checkout.” The virtual cart (the “My Cart” page) can also be opened separately, by clicking on the cart icon found on the top right corner of the page.

On the “My Cart” page, the number of each Product placed in the cart can be changed under the “Qty” menu individually, and each Product can be removed entirely from the cart by clicking on “Remove”. The quantity of a Product in the cart can also be modified by clicking on “Edit”, then setting the new quantity under the “Qty” menu and then clicking on “Update”. Also, upon opening the “Edit” page, by clicking on “View full details”, Customer is redirected to the product page. Subtotal Purchase Price, shipping cost, and Estimated total price (including VAT) is also indicated on the “My cart” page.

To submit the Order, Customer first needs to proceed to the checkout page by clicking on “Checkout” on the “My cart” page. On the “Checkout” page, Customer is requested to fill out their contact information, shipping information, and, if different from the latter, their billing information. The contact, shipping, and billing information of Customers with an existing user account who start the shopping process while already logged in is automatically filled out, with the possibility of modification. Also, such Customers with an already existing user account who have started the shopping process while not yet being logged in can log in at the beginning of checkout by clicking on “Sign in”, in which case their contact, shipping, and billing information is also automatically filled out, with the possibility of modification.  

If finished with the setting of all order details and providing all necessary contact, shipping, and billing information, Customer can proceed to select the desired method of payment by clicking on “Continue to payment method”. On the next page (“2. Pay”), Customer can choose between regular (lump sum) payment, and (if allowed by the Webshop) split payment in 12 instalments (‘Buy Now Pay Later’). At this point, Customer can still modify the contents of their cart in the same way as described above, in the “Order details” window simultaneously present on the Checkout page throughout the entire checkout process.

After selecting the desired method of payment, Customer can review all details of their order on the following “3. Review” page, available upon clicking on “Continue to review”. Once the “3. Review” page is open, Customer no longer has the ability to modify the contents of their cart on the separate “Order details” window itself, but Customer can nevertheless return to any of the previous pages (i.e. “1. Adresses” and ‘2. Pay”) by clicking on the “Edit” function indicated next to the name of each such page.

If Customer has a Promo Code, they can, until proceeding to the payment page (see Section 7.2.), enter such Promo Code anytime on the “Order details” page on the right, in the “Apply a Promo Code” window, then click on “Apply” to validate such Promo Code. If the Promo Code provided is valid, the Estimated total price will be modified accordingly. If the Promo Code provided is invalid, Customer is notified thereof in a pop-up window. 

Upon the final review of the order, Customer is requested to declare that they have read and accept the present Terms & Conditions and the Privacy Policy in a checkbox. Customer cannot proceed to the payment page without such declaration.

7.2 Purchase Order Submission

After the abovementioned final review of the order details, Customer can proceed to the payment page by clicking on “Buy Now”. No modifications to the purchase details can be made after opening the payment page. Customer can provide their payment information on the payment page and finalize their order by clicking on “Pay Now”. Clicking on “Pay Now” substitutes a legally binding statement by implicit conduct entailing an obligation to pay the Purchase Price. Payment is processed by a payment service providers independent of Seller, as detailed in Section 8.3.

Orders are validly submitted upon receipt of the Order by Seller. A validly submitted Order forms a binding offer to purchase the Products. Seller will confirm receipt of the order to Customer without delay by electronic means. Customer is released from their contractual commitment and therefore cannot be obliged to perform the Sales Contract if they do not receive electronic confirmation of the receipt of the Order.

Please note that confirmation of the receipt of the Order is merely for informational purposes, and does not in itself constitute acceptance of the Order by Seller or result in the formation of a Sales Contract (see Section 7.3. below).

Please note that placing a Product into the cart does not constitute a binding offer to purchase the Product, nor a reservation of the Product, therefore, by the time Customer finalizes the Order, the Product may be purchased by other customers. Seller does not assume any liability for the resulting lack of availability of a Product. For further details, see Section 9 below.

7.3 Purchase Order Acceptance & Formation of the Sales Contract:

The Sales Contract is formed upon Customer’s receipt of an e-mail from Seller expressing acceptance of the Order and containing the details of shipping. Until such time, Seller reserves the right to reject an Order for objective reasons that will be indicated to Customer in an e-mail (see especially Section 9 below). Any proposed modification of the present Terms & Conditions and/or a Sales Contract, that is submitted through an Order, even if the Order itself is accepted by the Seller, shall be deemed null and void.

The Sales Contract formed is not considered a written contract, the Seller does not archive or store it, and therefore, it cannot be accessed later. The formation of the Sales Contract is only evidenced by the entirety of the electronic legal statements made in accordance with the present Terms & Conditions. From a legal perspective, submitting the Order via the Webshop is considered making a legal statement by implicit conduct. The language of the ordering process and the Sales Contract is English.

7.4 Receipt of statements made via electronic means: The Order and the confirmations are considered received by Seller or Customer when they become electronically available to them. Seller shall not bear any liability if statement or confirmation is not received by Customer because they have provided an incorrect e-mail address, or because, due to Customer’s inbox having reached its capacity, it does not become available to Customer.

7.5 Purchase Order Cancellation: All valid Orders form a final and binding offer to purchase and make payment, and may not be cancelled by the Customer, except if specifically otherwise provided for by the present Terms & Conditions or the Applicable Law.

8. Payment & invoicing

8.1 Payment: Payment can be made online by debit/credit card upon checkout.

8.2 Buy Now Pay Later’: Customers may have the option to choose a one time offer to purchase 1 (one) Product with a split payment method, in 12 (twelve) monthly installments, at no extra charge or interest to them.  This option is only available for the given Product if its product page and then consequently the checkout page indicates so. The initial amount that is payable upon checkout, the monthly installments, and the dates of charging Customer with the monthly installments are detailed in the payment details of the Checkout

Purchasing a Product eligible for split payment does not have any bearing on the payment of the other Product(s) in the same Order not eligible for split payment. If Customer orders a Product eligible for split payment together with other Products not eligible for split payment, upon checkout, Customer shall pay the first installment of the firstly mentioned Product, and the entire Purchase Price of the latter Product(s) immediately.

8.3 Payment Processors: The online payments are processed by service providers independent of Seller, acting on Seller’s behalf.

Regular (lump sum) payments

Regular (lump sum) payments are processed by:

Escalion S.à r.l. (44 Avenue John F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg; https://www.escalion.com/en/)

Split payments (‘Buy Now Pay Later’ option)

Split payments are processed by:

Splitit Capital UK Ltd. (1 Charterhouse Mews, London EC1M 6BB, UK; https://www.splitit.com/)

Payment Processors’ independent data processing

Seller does not store any data Customer provides to the independent payment processors mentioned above. Such data is processed by the payment processors, in accordance with their own data procession rules.

8.4 Transactional fees: Any expenses (especially transaction fees) related to making payment shall be borne by Customer.

8.5 Invoicing: Upon handing the purchased Products over to Seller’s logistical partner, Seller issues an invoice to Customer based on the billing information provided upon checkout, and sends it to Customer’s e-mail address. Such invoice does not constitute an official electronic invoice, but a paper form invoice issued through remote printing. The electronically sent invoice has to be printed out in paper form by Customer to constitute an official, valid paper form invoice. It is the responsibility of Customer to carry out all such actions necessary for the printing of the invoice.  

9. Seller’s inability to deliver due to unavailability on stock

9.1 Seller’s inability to deliver due to unavailability on stock: Due to technical reasons, it is possible that by the time Customer effectuates payment, a given Product has already run out of stock (‘unsuccessful Order’). Seller shall notify Customer via e-mail of such circumstance within 3 business days of the day on which the unsuccessful Order was placed (and therefore payment was effectuated).

9.2 Refund of the Purchase Price: Seller shall reimburse to Customer all payments made in consideration of such Products that it is unable to deliver due to the lack of availability on stock, including shipping costs, where applicable. Seller shall initiate refund within 3 working days of the day on which notification of the Customer of the unsuccessful Order happened in accordance with Section 9.1.

Depending on technical circumstances and the time within which refund is initiated, refund happens either in the form of deleting the blocking of the amount before it gets deducted from Customer’s account and credited to Seller’s account, or, if such deduction and crediting has already been effectuated, through transferring the amount back to Customer’s account. Depending on the beforementioned circumstances, and on the operations of Customer’s bank, actual refund (i.e. availability of the amount refunded on Customer’s bank account) may take varying time. Such actual refund will typically take only a few days, but due to the aformenetioned circumstances outside of Seller’s control, it might take several weeks. Seller warrants only that it initiates refund within the time specified in Section 9.1., but does not assume any liability related to the time required for actual refund to be completed.  

10. Shipping

10.1 Shipping: Seller shall ship the purchased Products to the place of delivery specified by Customer upon checkout.

10.2 Delivery date: The expected delivery date is indicated during checkout and/or in the e-mail notifying Customer of the acceptance of their Order. The expected delivery date is subject to constant changes due to circumstances outside of Seller’s control.

10.3 Shipping costs: Except if otherwise indicated on the product page and upon checkout, all costs related to delivery (including all fees, customs, duties and taxes related to export and import, as well as shipping insurance, where applicable) shall be borne by Customer. The shipping costs (or lack thereof) will be indicated to Customer on the product page and will be added to the Purchase Price upon checkout.

Customer is responsible to be available for handover at the time of delivery specified by Seller’s logistical partner, and facilitate handover by all reasonable means.

10.6 Seller’s inability to deliver at Customer’s fault: If Seller’s logistical partner cannot access the specified place of delivery, the place is not duly prepared for unloading, or Customer is unavailable for handover, Seller’s logistical partner shall consider the first delivery attempt unsuccessful.

12. Statutory warranty

12.1 Customer can exercise their statutory warranty rights against Seller in accordance with Act V of 2013 on the Hungarian Civil Code, in case of lack of conformity, i.e. any deficiency in Seller’s performance of its obligations under the Sales Contract.

Please note that Customer cannot exercise both their statutory warranty rights and guarantee rights (see Section 13.) in relation to the same defect.

12.2 Customer can, based on their choice, exercise the following statutory warranty rights:

• request repair or replacement of the Product, except if compliance with the chosen warranty claim is impossible for Seller or it would cause disproportionate expenses to Seller in comparison to alternative warranty claims, taking into account the value of the Product had it not been defective, the severity of the breach of the contract, and the harm caused to Customer by compliance with the warranty right; or
• request a proportionate reduction of the Purchase Price paid, repair the defect themselves or have it repaired at Seller’s expense, or may cancel the contract and get a full refund of the payment made in consideration of the Product, if Seller refuses to repair or replace the Product, or is unable to fulfill such obligations within a reasonable time and without adversely affecting Customer’s interests, or if repair or replacement is no longer in Customer’s interest. Customer is not entitled to cancel the contract in case of defects of minor significance.

Customer is entitled to switch from the statutory warranty claim they have originally chosen to another. The cost of such change shall be borne by Customer, unless it was made necessary by the Seller’s conduct or for other reasons.

12.3 Statutory warranty rights can be exercised within 1 (one) year of delivery of the Products. If Customer is a Consumer, statutory warranty rights can be exercised within two (2) years of delivery of the Product.

12.4 Statutory warranty rights can only be exercised in relation to defects that have already been present at the time of delivery. If Customer is a Consumer, within the first 6 (six) months of delivery of the Product, Consumer is only liable to prove that they purchased the product from Seller, and Seller may be relieved from its statutory warranty obligations only if it proves that the defect was not present at the time of delivery. After six months from delivery, it falls upon Customer to prove that the defect was already present at the time of delivery.

12.5 Upon discovering the defect in the Product, Customer shall submit a warranty claim without delay, via the Customer Service contacts indicated in Section 3. However, if Customer is a Consumer, notifications made within 2 (two) months of the discovery of the defect are deemed to have been made without delay. Customer shall be liable for any damage arising as a result of a late notification.

13. Guarantee

This section only applies in relation to Products the product page of which indicates that Guarantee is provided for the Product.

13.1 Under Hungarian Governmental Decree 51/2003 (IX.22.), Seller is obliged to provide a guarantee to Customers who qualify as Consumers, in relation to certain products. Such Products covered by guarantee are specified on the Webshop, by the indication of the “Guarantee” on the product page.

13.2 Consumer can exercise their guarantee rights if the Product is, at the time of its delivery to Consumer, defective, i.e. it is (i) damaged, or (ii) otherwise does not correspond to the quality requirements specified by the product description or by law.

13.3 The guarantee does not cover defects which arise subsequent to the delivery of the Product to Consumer, for example, if the defect is the result of:

• inefficient installation (except if installation was performed by Seller or a third person acting on Seller’s behalf, or if the inefficient installation can be traced back to the installation manual itself being faulty)
• improper use, negligence of the provisions of the owner’s manual
• improper storage or handling, defacing the Product,
• elemental damage, natural disaster

13.4 Consumer can, based on their choice, exercise the following guarantee rights:

• request repair or replacement of the Product, except if compliance with the chosen guarantee claim is impossible for Seller or it would cause disproportionate expenses to Seller in comparison to alternative guarantee claims, taking into account the value of the Product had it not been defective, the severity of the breach of the contract, and the harm caused to Consumer by compliance with the guarantee right; or
• request a proportionate reduction of the Purchase Price paid, repair the defect themselves or have it repaired at Seller’s expense, or may cancel the contract and get a full refund of the payment made in consideration of the Product, if Seller refuses to repair or replace the Product, or is unable to fulfill such obligations within a reasonable time and without adversely affecting Consumer’s interests, or if repair or replacement is no longer in Consumer’s interest. Consumer is not entitled to cancel the contract in case of defects of minor significance. If Consumer requests replacement of a malfunctioning Product within 3 (three) business days of purchase (or installation, where applicable), Seller may not have recourse to the rule otherwise enabling it to refuse compliance with such request due to disproportionate expenses, but is obliged to replace the Product in question, provided that the malfunctioning impedes with the use of the Product for its intended purpose.

Consumer is entitled to switch to a different guarantee claim from the one chosen originally. The resulting cost shall be borne by Consumer, unless such switch-over was made necessary by Seller’s conduct or due to other good reasons.

13.5 Consumer can exercise their guarantee rights within the Guarantee Period, by submitting a guarantee claim via the Customer Service contacts indicated in Section 3. The Guarantee Period is indicated on the product page of the given Product. The Guarantee Period starts on the day Consumer acquires possession of the Product, or, if installation of the Product is performed by Seller or a third person acting on Seller’s behalf, on the day of the installation. If Consumer installs the Product more than six (6) months after acquiring possession of it, the Guarantee Period shall run from the day of acquiring possession of the Product.

13.6 Upon discovering the defect, Consumer shall notify Seller thereof in accordance with Section 13.5. without delay. However, notifications made within 2 (two) months of the discovery of the defect are deemed to have been made without delay. Consumer shall be liable for any damage arising as a result of a late notification.
