The above requirements are only recommendations and do not affect the effectiveness of complaints submitted without the recommended description.

6.6. The complainant may attach evidence (e.g., photos, documents, or the Product) related to the subject of the complaint. The Seller may also request additional information or evidence (e.g., photos) if it helps expedite the complaint resolution.
6.7. The Seller will respond to the complaint promptly, no later than within 14 calendar days from the date of receipt.

6.8.1. In the case of a complaint regarding a Product – a movable item – purchased by the Customer under a Sales Agreement concluded with the Seller before December 31, 2022, the provisions of the Civil Code in force until December 31, 2022, apply, in particular Articles 556-576 of the Civil Code. These provisions define, among other things, the basis and scope of the Seller’s liability if the sold Product has a physical or legal defect (warranty for defects).

6.9. In addition to statutory liability, a warranty may be granted for the Product – this is a contractual (additional) liability that can be used if the given Product is covered by a warranty. The warranty may be provided by an entity other than the Seller (e.g., the manufacturer or distributor). Detailed conditions of liability under the warranty, including the details of the entity responsible for the warranty and the entity entitled to use it, are available in the warranty description, e.g., in the warranty card or another relevant document. The Seller informs that in the event of non-conformity of the Product with the agreement, the Customer has legal remedies at the Seller’s expense, and the warranty does not affect these legal remedies.
6.10. The provisions in section 6.8.2 of the Regulations regarding consumers also apply to a Customer who is a natural person entering into an agreement directly related to their business activity if the content of this agreement indicates that it does not have a professional nature for that person, particularly based on the business activity subject disclosed in the Central Register and Information on Economic Activity.

- Ensure that provided content is factual and not misleading.
- Do not submit unlawful content, including Illegal Content.

- 11.4.2. The Service Provider reserves the right to moderate Customer-submitted content on the Online Store’s website.

If a complaint or other submission provides sufficient grounds for the Service Provider to consider that its decision not to take action in response to the report is unjustified, or that the information subject to the complaint is neither illegal nor in violation of the Terms and Conditions, or if it contains information indicating that the complainant’s actions do not justify the measure taken, the Service Provider shall, without undue delay, revoke or modify its decision regarding the possible removal or restriction of access to the content or any other limitation of its visibility, or take any other action deemed necessary.
11.7. Service Recipients, individuals, or entities that have reported Illegal Content and to whom the Service Provider’s decisions regarding Illegal Content or content violating the Terms and Conditions are directed, have the right to choose any out-of-court dispute resolution body certified by the Digital Services Coordinator of a Member State to resolve disputes regarding these decisions, including complaints that have not been resolved through the Service Provider’s internal complaint handling system.
12. FINAL PROVISIONS
12.1. Agreements concluded via the Online Store are made in the Polish language.
12.2. Amendment of the Terms and Conditions:
12.2.1. The Service Provider reserves the right to amend these Terms and Conditions for important reasons, such as changes in legal regulations; modifications to payment or delivery methods or timelines; compliance with legal or regulatory obligations; changes in the scope or form of Electronic Services provided; the introduction of new Electronic Services; or the necessity to counteract unforeseen and direct threats related to the protection of the Online Store, including Electronic Services and Service Recipients/Customers, from fraud, malware, spam, data breaches, or other cybersecurity threats—insofar as these changes affect the implementation of the provisions of these Terms and Conditions.
12.2.2. Notification of proposed changes is sent at least 15 days before they take effect, except when the change must be implemented without maintaining the 15-day notification period if the Service Provider:
(1) is subject to a legal or regulatory obligation requiring an amendment to the Terms and Conditions that prevents compliance with the 15-day notification period; or
(2) must exceptionally amend its Terms and Conditions to counteract an unforeseen and direct threat related to the protection of the Online Store, including Electronic Services and Service Recipients/Customers, from fraud, malware, spam, data breaches, or other cybersecurity threats.
In the two exceptional cases mentioned above, changes take effect immediately unless a longer implementation period is possible or necessary, in which case the Service Provider shall notify accordingly.
12.2.3. In the case of continuous agreements (e.g., provision of an Electronic Service – Account), the Service Recipient has the right to terminate the agreement with the Service Provider before the notification period for the proposed changes expires. Such termination becomes effective 15 days from the date of receiving the notification. If a continuous agreement is concluded, the amended Terms and Conditions shall be binding on the Service Recipient if they were properly notified of the changes within the notification period and did not terminate the agreement during this period. Additionally, at any time after receiving the notification of changes, the Service Recipient may accept the introduced changes, thereby waiving the remaining notification period.
For agreements of a non-continuous nature, amendments to the Terms and Conditions shall not affect the rights acquired by the Service Recipient before the effective date of the changes, particularly concerning orders already placed or completed Sales Agreements.
12.2.4. If an amendment to the Terms and Conditions results in the introduction of new fees or an increase in existing ones, the consumer has the right to withdraw from the agreement.
12.3. In matters not regulated by these Terms and Conditions, the generally applicable provisions of Polish law shall apply, particularly the Civil Code; the Act on the Provision of Electronic Services of July 18, 2002 (Journal of Laws 2002 No. 144, item 1204, as amended); the Consumer Rights Act; and other relevant provisions of generally applicable law.
