https://www.retrocomp.cz e-shop terms and conditions

I. GENERAL

These E-shop business terms and conditions (the “Conditions”) govern the legal relationship originating from purchase contracts between ARTAX, a.s., with registered office at Karasek 1e, 621 00 Brno, Czech Republic, Company ID No.: 25535234, registered in the Commercial Register maintained by the Brno Regional Court, Section B, File No. 2684 (the “Seller”) and the Buyer (which includes both consumers and other customers).

All contractual relationships are entered into pursuant to Czech law. If the Buyer is a consumer (i.e. any individual who, outside of his or her business activities or separate course of business, enters into a contract or has dealings with the entrepreneur), then the relations not specifically governed by these Conditions are governed by the Civil Code (Act No. 89/2012 Coll.), and the Consumer Protection Act (Act No. 634/1992 Coll.). If the Buyer is not a consumer, then the legal relationship based on a contract outside of these Conditions is governed by the Civil Code (Act No. 89/2012 Coll.).

II. ENTERING INTO A PURCHASE CONTRACT

  1. If the Buyer is a consumer, the proposal of the purchase contract (offer) is implemented by displaying the offered products on the Seller’s E-shop website, in which the purchase contract becomes valid upon submission of order by the Buyer/consumer and its receipt by the Seller. The Seller will then without delay confirm to the Buyer the receipt of the order through notification to a designated e-mail address; this notification, however, has no effect on the contract. Received orders may be changed only with the express consent of both Parties.
  2. We recommend that the Buyer takes the opportunity to conduct a thorough review of the entire order prior to submitting the order to the Seller. The Buyer will then submit the order by clicking on “Confirm order”.
  3. If the Buyer is not a consumer, then the proposal of the purchase contract is created when the Buyer submits the product order, and the purchase contract is valid upon the moment of delivery of the binding order confirmation by the Seller to the Buyer.
  4. By the procedural process described above leading to the completion of the purchase contract, the Buyer confirms that he or she is familiar with the Conditions and agrees to them. The E-shop website presents an explicit option of reviewing the Conditions prior to submitting the order, and we recommend all Buyers to use this opportunity and read through them in detail.
  5. The illustrations, weights and dimensions of the products (goods) listed in the catalogue are purely informative, unless otherwise stated as binding.
  6. All listed prices include VAT, unless stated otherwise.

III. DELIVERY TIME, MANNER OF DELIVERY, FAILURE TO COLLECT GOODS

  1. Delivery time is established by the Seller in the order confirmation. Delivery is considered complete on the day of the shipment of the order, the day the goods leave the inventory of the Seller, or on the day the goods are ready for collection by the Buyer. On this day, the Seller is then authorized to issue an invoice. The Seller has the right to partial deliveries of goods. Delivery time may be extended in the event of any unexpected issues not caused by the Seller, such as unexpected events of force majeure, strikes, and other obstacles beyond the Seller’s control. The same is true for instances in which these issues may arise with the Seller’s suppliers. In such cases, financial claims for delays do not apply. Damage caused due to delayed delivery of goods on the part of the Seller may be claimed only up to the amount of the value of the delayed items.
  2. The manner of shipment of products is established in the order. Unless stipulated otherwise in writing, the Buyer shall pay the shipping costs, and the amount will be established in the order. The Buyer takes over risks of damage incurred to goods no later than at the time of shipment (submission of goods to the shipment facility).
  3. The Parties have agreed that should the Buyer fail to collect the purchased items within 21 days of the date listed in the purchase contract or of the date of the Seller’s purchase request in writing, by telephone, or by fax (“uncollected goods”), the Seller has the right to withdraw from the contract and to sell these goods to a different party. In this case, the Buyer is not entitled to claim damages. A written notice of withdrawal from the contract must be submitted to the other Party. The Seller has the right to bill the Buyer for generalized claims for damages upon withdrawal from the contract on the side of the Seller for 50 % of the deposit received in relation to the price of the uncollected goods.
  4. If the uncollected goods are subsequently collected and the Seller has not yet exercised its right to withdraw from the contract according to the previous paragraph, the Seller has the right to demand a contractual fine from the Buyer in the amount of 1 % of the value of these goods for each day of the delay beyond the first 21 days of delay.
  5. Contractual fines are due on the day of the receipt of the invoice and can be used toward the received deposit and/or toward other compensation from the Buyer.
