- If the contract is withdrawn from, the Seller will reimburse the Privileged Buyer for all payments received from that Buyer, including the cost of delivery of the goods, except for additional costs resulting from the Buyer's choice of a delivery method other than the least expensive standard delivery method offered by the Seller, without undue delay and in any event no later than 14 days from the day on which the Seller was informed of the Privileged Buyer's decision to exercise the right of withdrawal.
- The Seller will make the reimbursement using the same payment method used by the Privileged Buyer for the original transaction, unless the Privileged Buyer has expressly agreed otherwise. In any event, the Privileged Buyer will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
- A payment transaction commission other than for a traditional bank transfer is not refundable.
- Unless the Seller has offered to collect the goods, the Seller may withhold reimbursement until the goods are received or until the Buyer provides evidence of having sent the goods back, whichever occurs first.
- The Seller requests that goods be returned to: J. U.

- When returning goods from the United States, the Buyer should use a shipping method that does not intentionally leave customs duties, import taxes or carrier clearance charges payable by the Seller upon receipt.

- For a return to be complete, any complimentary items supplied with the returned goods, such as bookmarks or stickers, must also be returned.
- The Privileged Buyer is liable only for any diminished value of the goods resulting from handling beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
- If, due to their nature, the goods cannot normally be returned by post, the Privileged Buyer must also bear the direct cost of returning such goods. The estimated amount of such costs will be communicated by the Seller in the product description in the Store or during the ordering process.
- Where a refund is required for a transaction paid by payment card, the Seller will make the refund to the account associated with that payment card.

- the lack of conformity persists despite the Seller having attempted to bring the goods into conformity;
- the lack of conformity is sufficiently serious to justify a price reduction or withdrawal from the contract without first using the remedies referred to in Article 43d of the Consumer Rights Act;
- it is clear from the Seller's statement or from the circumstances that the Seller will not bring the goods into conformity within a reasonable time or without significant inconvenience to the Privileged Buyer.
- Where goods are to be repaired or replaced, the Privileged Buyer must make the goods available to the Seller. The Seller collects the goods from the Privileged Buyer at the Seller's expense.
- The Privileged Buyer may not withdraw from the contract if the lack of conformity is minor.

- it is clear from the Seller's statement or the circumstances that the Seller will not supply the Digital Content; or

- The Seller is liable for any lack of conformity of Digital Content with the contract that existed at the time of supply and became apparent within two years from that time.

- In addition, where Digital Content does not conform to the contract, the Privileged Buyer may request:

- The Privileged Buyer may not withdraw from the contract under the preceding provision if the Digital Content is supplied in exchange for payment and the lack of conformity is minor.
- The Seller must refund the price due following withdrawal from the contract or a price reduction under this section without undue delay and no later than 14 days after receiving the Privileged Buyer's statement.
- The Seller will make the refund using the same payment method used by the Privileged Buyer, unless the Privileged Buyer expressly agrees to another method that does not result in any fees for that Buyer.

- The Seller informs Consumers that out-of-court complaint and redress procedures are available. Information about access to these procedures is available at the offices or on the websites of bodies authorised to conduct out-of-court dispute resolution.

- The purpose of processing the Buyer's personal data provided in connection with purchases in the Store is to fulfil orders. The legal basis for processing is:
- the contract or steps taken at the Buyer's request before entering into the contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR);
- a legal obligation incumbent on the Seller, in particular in relation to accounting and product safety (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR); and
- the Seller's legitimate interest in establishing, pursuing or defending possible claims (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).
- Providing personal data is voluntary but necessary in order to conclude a contract. Failure to provide the required data will prevent a contract from being concluded in the Store.
- Personal data provided in connection with purchases will be processed until:
- the contract between the Buyer and the Seller ceases to be in force;
- the Seller is no longer subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of the Buyer's data;

- access to personal data;
- rectification;
- erasure;
- restriction of processing;
- data portability to another controller;
- to object at any time, on grounds relating to the Buyer's particular situation, to processing based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
- To exercise these rights, the Buyer should contact the Seller using the details in § 2.
- If the Buyer considers that personal data is being processed unlawfully, the Buyer may lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority. In Poland, this is the President of the Personal Data Protection Office.
§ 11 FINAL PROVISIONS
- The Buyer is prohibited from providing unlawful content.
- Each order placed in the Store constitutes a separate contract and requires separate acceptance of these Terms and Conditions. The contract is concluded for the period and purpose necessary to fulfil the order.
- Contracts concluded under these Terms and Conditions are governed by Polish law, subject to paragraph 4 below.
- The choice of Polish law for contracts concluded with a Consumer does not deprive or limit the Consumer of rights granted by mandatory provisions of law that would apply in the absence of such choice. In particular, where the law applicable to a Consumer provides broader protection than these Terms and Conditions or Polish law, the broader protection applies.
- Contracts under these Terms and Conditions may be concluded in Polish or English, depending on the language version of the Store used by the Buyer.
- In the event of a dispute with a Buyer who is not a Privileged Buyer arising from a contract concluded through the Store, the competent court will be the court having jurisdiction over the Seller's registered place of business.

- the lack of conformity persists despite the Service Provider having attempted to bring the digital service into conformity;
- the lack of conformity is sufficiently serious to justify withdrawal without first requesting conformity under Article 43m of the Consumer Rights Act;
- it is clear from the Service Provider's statement or circumstances that the digital service will not be brought into conformity within a reasonable time or without significant inconvenience to the Privileged Service User.
III. OUT-OF-COURT COMPLAINT AND REDRESS PROCEDURES

Detailed information concerning processing, including other purposes and legal bases and recipients of data, is set out in the privacy policy available in the Store in accordance with the GDPR transparency principle.

- Providing data is voluntary but necessary to conclude the Account agreement and provide the services covered by it. Failure to provide data means the Account agreement cannot be concluded and the services cannot be provided.

- an objection to processing is accepted where processing is based on the Service Provider's legitimate interest;

- If the Service User does not accept the planned changes, the Service User should notify the Service Provider by email using the address specified in § 2. The Account agreement will terminate when the planned changes take effect.
- The Service Provider may make a change to the Account that is not necessary to maintain its conformity with the Account agreement for a reason referred to above or due to a change in Account functionality.

- The Account agreement may be concluded in Polish or English, depending on the language version of the Store used by the Service User.
- The Account agreement is governed by Polish law, subject to paragraph 4.
