§ 4. General Provisions for Sales Agreements

- GTCS shall form an integral part of each Sales Agreement concluded by and between the Parties and remain in force throughout its term.
- In the case of any conflict between any of the provisions of GTCS and the provisions of the Sales Agreement concluded by and between the Parties, the provisions of the Sales Agreement shall prevail.
- GTCS shall be made available to the Purchaser in paper form at the Seller’s registered office and on the B2B Zone’s website in a manner making it possible to reproduce them. Unless the Parties have stipulated otherwise, if the Purchaser remains in permanent commercial relations with the Seller, acceptance by the Purchaser of GTCS for one Sales Agreement shall be deemed their acceptance for subsequent Sales Agreements concluded by and between the Purchaser and the Seller.
- Should any of the provisions hereof change during the performance of a given Sales Agreement, the Seller shall notify the Purchaser of this fact immediately.

Regardless of the above, the new GTCS provisions shall apply to each Sales Agreement concluded with the Seller after their introduction.
- The Parties shall perform the Sales Agreement and cooperate in its performance in accordance with its purpose, the customs of good merchants and provisions hereof.
§ 5. Sales Agreement Conclusion
- Information on the Seller’s website, in particular in the B2B Zone, and in catalogues, price lists and brochures does not constitute an offer within the meaning of the Civil Code, even if it is accompanied by a price, unless clearly indicated otherwise.
- The Seller reserves the right to change the offered range of Goods at any time, in particular to change information about the price or other parameters of the Goods.
- Placing information about the Goods on the Seller's website and in the Seller’s catalogues, price lists or brochures shall not be tantamount to their availability.
- The basis for conclusion of a Sales Agreement is placing an Order with the Seller by the Purchaser.
- The Purchaser may place Orders via the B2B Zone 24/7.
- To place an Order, the User shall:
- log in to his/her User Account in the B2B Zone,
- select the Goods of his/her interest and specify their quantity,
- add the selected Goods to his/her shopping cart,
- choose the delivery and payment method from among those available,
- indicate the delivery address,
- confirm the acceptance of GTCS and the Privacy Policy,
- confirm the placement of the Order by clicking the appropriate button.
- Based on the placed Order, the Seller shall verify the availability of the Goods ordered by the User.
- If the ordered Goods are not available or the User’s Order cannot be executed for other reasons, including if it is not possible to manufacture the Goods within the time limit for Order execution, the Seller shall inform the User electronically or by phone about these circumstances.
- If the Order cannot be executed, the Seller may propose the User the following options:
- exchanging the ordered Goods for other Goods at the same price (choosing this option shall entitle the Seller to modify the Order);
- cancelling the entire Order (choosing this option by the User shall release the Seller from the obligation to execute the Order);
- cancelling the Order in the part in which its execution is not possible within a reasonable time limit (choosing this option by the User shall release the Seller from the obligation to execute the Order to the extent to which its execution is not possible);
- splitting the Order and setting the time limit for Order execution in the part in which it cannot be executed initially (choosing this option by the User shall result in the fact that the delivery will be made in separate consignments, with no additional delivery costs related to the Order splitting on the part of the User, with the reservation that the Seller shall ship the missing Goods not individually but in consignments of about 30 kg, and the Purchaser shall not be entitled to demand shipment of Goods of lesser weight, unless the total weight of all missing Goods does not exceed 30 kg).
- Information about the weight of the Goods provided at the Order placement stage is indicative only. In reality, the weight of the ordered Goods may vary slightly (due to the fact that the cords are hand-made and thus of different thickness). Should the Order weight exceed 30 kg (or a multiple of 30 kg), the Seller may propose the User the following options:
- removing some Goods from the Order and including them in other or future Orders (the Parties shall agree which Goods are to be transferred to other Orders),
- removing some Goods from the Order and refunding the corresponding part of the payment (the User shall indicate which Goods are to be removed from the Order).
- Order placement shall be tantamount to reservation of the Goods. The Sales Agreement shall be concluded when the User receives the Order Confirmation sent by the Seller. In the Order Confirmation, the Seller shall confirm all arrangements made after the Order has been placed.
- If no Order Confirmation is sent by the Seller within 2 working days from his receipt of the Order, it shall be deemed that the Order has not been accepted for processing and no Sales Agreement has been concluded by and between the Parties.
- If according to information in the B2B Zone the specific Goods are new and are not to be sold before the indicated official release date, the Purchaser shall refrain from selling these Goods, making them available or distributing them in any other form before the indicated date.
§ 6. Payment Terms & Conditions
- The prices quoted on the B2B Zone’s website at any given Goods shall:
- be net prices (without VAT) in Polish zloty;
- not include delivery costs about which the User shall be informed while placing an Order;
- not include customs clearance costs and customs duties, if the delivery address is outside Poland;
- not be negotiable.
- The final price binding the Parties to the Sales Agreement shall be the price of the Goods as shown in the summary displayed before the Order placement is confirmed, or as shown in the Order Confirmation if the Sales Agreement is concluded outside the B2B Zone.
- The Purchaser shall choose the form of payment from among those available in the B2B Zone.
- After choosing an instant payment, the Purchaser will be redirected to the relevant bank’s transaction service. Upon logging in, the Purchaser will see a ready-made payment form with the proper amount, payment reference and payee’s details, awaiting the Purchaser’s acceptance.
- In the case of payment via a traditional money transfer or a direct deposit into the Seller’s bank account, the payment reference field should include: the Purchaser’s full name/company name and the Order number. The bank account number for the transfer depends on the currency in which the payment is made. The Purchaser shall check the current and correct bank account number in the relevant tab on the B2B Zone’s website.
- If the payment is not received within 14 days from the receipt by the Purchaser of an email confirming the acceptance of the Order by the Seller, the Seller shall have the right to cancel the Order.
- The date of payment of the price for the Goods shall be the date of crediting the Seller’s bank account.

- The Purchaser undertakes to repair the damage caused to the Seller by the untimely payment to the extent defined in section 6 above also if the Purchaser would not be held liable under the Civil Code. In all other respects, the Purchaser and the Seller shall be liable on general terms.
- If the Purchaser is late with payments to the Seller, the Seller shall first count the amount received towards the debt recovery and debt collection costs, costs of court proceedings, enforcement costs and costs of legal representation, then towards interest, and only then towards the most due principal amount, regardless of whether the Purchaser has indicated the liability to be covered with the amount in question. The preceding sentence shall also apply where costs, interest and receivables arise from two or more VAT invoices. This provision shall waive the Purchaser’s rights referred to in Article 451(1) of the Civil Code.
- The Seller reserves the right to set off other receivables and liabilities, pursuant to the provisions of the Civil Code.
- The Purchaser shall not have the right to set off any of the Purchaser’s receivables from the Seller against the Seller’s receivables from the Purchaser in connection with the delivery of the Goods subject to GTCS.
- The Seller may set an individual credit limit for the Purchaser based on his own assessment or an assessment by a specialised external company (insurer of trade receivables, credit bureau). In order to secure proper payment for the Goods, the Seller may request collateral at his discretion (including in particular a statement on voluntary submission to enforcement under the Code of Civil Procedure, bank guarantee, promissory note, etc.). In such case the trade credit shall be granted after the Seller receives the original document confirming the granting of the collateral. If the gross amount (net amount + VAT) of the Purchaser’s liability towards the Seller on account of Orders (both completed and in progress) for which no payment has yet been received by the Seller and of the Order currently being placed exceeds the amount of the trade credit set for the Purchaser, the Seller shall have the right not to accept any of the Purchaser’s Orders until the Purchaser has settled his/her/its liabilities towards the Seller to such an extent that the trade credit limit is no longer exceeded, or has provided the original document confirming the granting of additional trade credit collateral.
