TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE
Paid Products
Some of the Products offered on this Website as part of the service are paid. Fees, duration, and terms applicable to the sale of such Products are described below and in the respective sections of this Website.
Product Description
Prices, descriptions, and availability of Products are specified in the respective sections of this Website and are subject to change without notice. Although the Products on this Website are presented with the utmost technical accuracy, the representation on this Website through any means (including, as applicable, graphic materials, images, colors, sounds) is to be considered as a mere reference and does not imply any warranty regarding the characteristics of the purchased Product. The characteristics of the selected Product will be specified during the purchase procedure.
Purchase Procedure
Every phase, from product selection to order submission, is part of the purchase procedure. The purchase procedure includes the following steps:
- Users are requested to choose the desired Product and verify their purchase choice.
- After reviewing the information visible in the purchase selection, Users can place the order by submitting it.
- Submission of the order
Order Submission
Submitting the order entails the following:
- Submission of the order by the User constitutes the conclusion of the contract and creates an obligation for the User to pay the price, taxes, and any additional charges and expenses, as specified on the order page.
- If the purchased Product requires active contribution from the User, such as providing information or personal data, specifications, or special requests, submitting the order also constitutes an obligation for the User to cooperate accordingly.
- Once the order is submitted, Users will receive a confirmation of receipt of the order.
- All notifications related to the purchase procedure described above will be sent to the email address provided by the User for this purpose.
Prices
During the purchase procedure and before order submission, Users are duly informed of all commissions, taxes, and costs (including any shipping fees) that will be charged to them. Prices on this Website, depending on the section the User is viewing, include all applicable commissions, taxes, and costs, or are indicated net of applicable commissions, taxes, and costs.
Payment Methods
Details regarding accepted payment methods are highlighted during the purchase procedure. Some payment methods are linked to additional conditions or incur additional costs. Detailed information is provided in the relevant section of this Website. All payments are processed independently by third-party services. Therefore, this Website does not collect payment-related data, such as credit card numbers, but receives a notification once the payment is successfully completed. In the event that payment using one of the available methods fails or is refused by the payment service provider, the Owner is not obliged to execute the order. Any costs or fees arising from failed or refused payments are borne by the User.
Retention of Title
Until the full purchase price is received by the Owner, the User does not acquire ownership of the ordered Products.
Delivery
Deliveries are made to the address provided by the User and according to the methods indicated in the order summary. At the time of delivery, Users must check the contents of the package and promptly report any anomalies to the contacts provided in this document or as described in the delivery note. Users may refuse to accept the package if it is visibly damaged. Deliveries can be made to the countries or territories specified in the relevant section of this Website. Delivery times are indicated on this Website or during the purchase procedure.
Non-Delivery
The Owner is not responsible for any delivery errors resulting from inaccuracies or omissions made by the User in completing the purchase order, nor for any damages or delays that occur after delivery to the carrier if the carrier was appointed by the User. If the goods are not delivered or collected at the scheduled time or within the specified period, they will be returned to the Owner, who will contact the User to schedule a second delivery attempt or arrange further actions. Unless otherwise specified, each delivery attempt beyond the first will be at the User's expense.
User Rights
Right of Withdrawal
Unless an exception applies, the User may exercise the right to withdraw from the contract within the specified period (usually 14 days) for any reason and without justification. Users can find more information about the right of withdrawal in this section.
Who Has the Right of Withdrawal
Unless one of the exceptions listed below applies, Users who act as European Consumers are legally entitled to withdraw from online contracts (distance contracts) within the specified period for any reason and without justification. Users who do not meet these requirements do not have the rights described in this section.
Exercising the Right of Withdrawal
To exercise the right of withdrawal, the User must send an unequivocal communication to the Owner of their intention to withdraw from the contract. To this end, the User may use the withdrawal form available in the definitions section of this document. However, the User is free to express their intention to withdraw from the contract in any other suitable form. To meet the deadline for exercising the right, the User must send the withdrawal declaration before the withdrawal period expires.
When Does the Withdrawal Period Expire?
In the case of the purchase of goods, the withdrawal period expires 14 days from the day on which the User or a third party – appointed by them and other than the carrier – takes possession of the goods. In the case of purchasing multiple goods ordered together but delivered separately or a single good made up of different lots or pieces delivered separately, the withdrawal period expires 14 days from the day on which the User or a third party – appointed by them and other than the carrier – takes possession of the last of the goods, lots, or pieces.
Effects of Withdrawal
The Owner will refund all payments received, including, if applicable, those related to delivery costs to Users who have correctly exercised the right of withdrawal. However, the additional cost resulting from choosing a particular delivery method other than the cheapest standard delivery offered by the Owner will remain at the User’s expense. The refund will be made without undue delay and in any case within 14 days from the day on which the Owner is informed of the User’s decision to withdraw from the contract. Unless otherwise agreed with the User, the refund will be made using the same payment method used for the initial transaction. The User will not incur any costs as a result of the withdrawal.
On Contracts for the Purchase of Physical Goods
Unless the Owner has offered to collect the goods, the User is required to return them to the Owner or another person authorized by the Owner to receive them without undue delay and in any case within 14 days from the day on which they communicated their intention to withdraw from the contract. The deadline is met if the goods are handed over to the carrier or other authorized person before the expiration of the 14-day period described above. The refund may be withheld until the goods are received or until the User has provided proof of returning them. The User is responsible for any reduction in the value of the goods resulting from handling them in a way other than necessary to establish their nature, characteristics, and functioning. Return shipping costs are the User's responsibility.
Legal Warranty of Product Conformity
Under European law, the seller guarantees the conformity of the goods sold for a minimum period of 2 years from delivery. Therefore, the seller is obligated to ensure that the purchased goods have the quality, functionality, or characteristics promised or reasonably expected for at least two years from the moment of delivery to the buyer. When Users act as European Consumers, the legal warranty of goods applies to the items available on this Website in accordance with the laws of the country in which they usually reside. National laws of that country may grant such Users broader rights. Consumers who do not act as European Consumers may have warranty rights under the laws of the country in which they usually reside.

Australian Users
Limitation of Liability No provision of these Terms excludes, limits, or modifies any warranty, condition, indemnity, right, or protection that the User may have under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) or other similar state and territory legislation that constitutes a right that cannot be excluded, limited, or modified (non-excludable right). To the maximum extent permitted by law, our liability to the User, including liability for the breach of a non-excludable right and any other liability not otherwise excluded under these Terms and Conditions, is limited, at the Owner’s discretion, to a re-supply of the services or the payment of the cost of having the services re-supplied.

Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall the Owner and its affiliates, officers, directors, agents, trademark co-owners, partners, suppliers, and employees be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, including, but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, arising out of or in connection with the use or inability to use the Service; and any damages, loss, or injury resulting from hacking, tampering, or other unauthorized access or use of the Service or the User account or any information contained therein; any error, omission, or inaccuracy in the content; personal injury or property damage, of any kind, resulting from the User’s access to or use of the Service; any unauthorized access to the Owner’s security servers and/or any personal information stored therein; any interruption or cessation of transmission to or from the Service; any bugs, viruses, trojans, or similar that may be transmitted to or through the Service; any error or omission in any content or for any loss or damage incurred as a result of the use of any content posted, emailed, transmitted, or otherwise made available through the Service; and/or the defamatory, offensive, or illegal conduct of any User or third party.
In no event shall the Owner and its affiliates, officers, directors, agents, trademark co-owners, partners, suppliers, and employees be liable for any claim for damages, suit, liability, obligation, loss, or cost exceeding the amount paid by the User to the Owner in the 12 months preceding, or for the duration of this Agreement between the Owner and the User, whichever is shorter.
This section on limitation of liability applies to the maximum extent permitted by law in the applicable jurisdiction, regardless of whether the alleged liability arises from contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other legal theory, even if the Owner has been advised of the possibility of such damage. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental and consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to the User.
