For other Clients, the risk passes according to applicable law.

  6. Due to the individual, antiquarian or collectible nature of the Goods, especially single items, as a rule, it is not possible to exchange the Good for another identical brand-new item, unless otherwise indicated in the description of the Good.

The assessment of the professional character of the contract is based in particular on the subject of the entrepreneur's business activity, made available in the Central Registration and Information on Business (CEIDG).

The system automatically confirms receipt of the complaint by sending an email to the Client's address.

  1. The Antiquarian is not responsible for non-conformity of the Goods with the Agreement to the extent that it results solely from circumstances for which the Antiquarian is not liable under applicable law. This provision does not exclude or limit the statutory rights of the Client.
  2. If the information contained in the complaint is insufficient for its consideration, the Antiquarian may request the Client to provide additional information or documents necessary for complaint handling. This does not affect the statutory deadlines for complaint consideration.
  1. In case of finding non-conformity of the Goods with the Agreement, the Consumer and the Entrepreneur with consumer rights may demand repair or replacement of the Goods under the terms specified in applicable law.
  2. If the non-conformity of the Goods with the Agreement is significant enough to justify a price reduction or withdrawal from the Agreement, the Consumer and the Entrepreneur with consumer rights may exercise these rights without prior demand for repair or replacement, under the terms specified in applicable law.
  3. Due to the antiquarian and collectible nature of the Goods, which often are single items, replacement may be impossible due to lack of available items. The Antiquarian may replace the Goods instead of repair or repair instead of replacement if the method chosen by the Client to bring the Goods into conformity is impossible or would involve excessive costs, under the terms specified in applicable law. If both repair and replacement are impossible or would involve excessive costs, the Antiquarian may refuse to bring the Goods into conformity, according to applicable law.
  4. The Consumer and the Entrepreneur with consumer rights may submit a statement on price reduction or withdrawal from the Agreement if the conditions specified in applicable law occur, in particular when:
    . The Antiquarian refused to bring the Goods into conformity,
    . The Antiquarian did not bring the Goods into conformity,
    . The non-conformity is significant,
    . The non-conformity persists despite attempts to bring the Goods into conformity,
    . Circumstances indicate that conformity will not be achieved within a reasonable time or without excessive inconvenience to the Consumer.
  1. The Antiquarian performs repair or replacement within a reasonable time from being informed about the non-conformity and without causing excessive inconvenience to the Consumer and the Entrepreneur with consumer rights, considering the nature of the Goods and the purpose for which they were purchased.
  2. The costs of bringing the Goods into conformity with the Agreement are borne by the Antiquarian, including shipping, transport, labor, and materials. In case of repair or replacement, the Consumer and the Entrepreneur with consumer rights make the complained Goods available to the Antiquarian, who collects them at its own cost, according to applicable law.
  3. In case of withdrawal by the Consumer due to non-conformity of the Goods with the Agreement, the Consumer makes the Goods available to the Seller for collection at the Seller's expense. If the Goods have already been delivered to the Consumer, the Seller collects them at its own cost.
  4. Due to the antiquarian and collectible nature of the Goods, replacement may be impossible due to lack of another available item. Delivering another item with similar features and condition as part of an agreed solution requires the Consumer's consent and does not limit their rights under applicable law.
  1. The response to the complaint containing the manner of its consideration will be sent to the email address provided by the Consumer. In particularly justified cases, at the Consumer's request, the response may be sent to another email address or in writing to the indicated correspondence address.
  1. Failure to respond to the complaint within 14 days means acceptance of the complaint in the scope of the Consumer's demand, according to applicable law.
  2. If the complaint procedure does not resolve the dispute, the Consumer may use out-of-court methods of complaint resolution and claim enforcement under applicable law.

Information about available methods of out-of-court consumer dispute resolution can be found on the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection website: https://polubowne.uokik.gov.pl/

Using out-of-court dispute resolution methods is governed by the provisions of law and regulations of the relevant entities.

  1. The dispute may be submitted to arbitration under the terms specified in applicable law and with the consent of both parties. In other cases, the jurisdiction of common courts is determined by applicable law.

 

  1. PROVISIONS CONCERNING ENTREPRENEURS
  1. The provisions of this paragraph apply to Clients who are Entrepreneurs and do not apply to Consumers or Entrepreneurs with consumer rights.
  2. In the case of Sales Agreements between Entrepreneurs based on Article 558 § 1 of the Civil Code, the Antiquarian excludes its liability for physical and legal defects of the offered Goods.
  3. The Antiquarian's liability towards the Entrepreneur, regardless of its legal basis, is limited – both for a single claim and for all claims in total – to the amount of the paid price. The Antiquarian is liable to the Entrepreneur only for typical damages foreseeable at the time of concluding the Sales Agreement and is not liable for lost profits. These limitations do not apply to damages caused intentionally.
  4. Resolution of any disputes between the Antiquarian and the Entrepreneur shall be subject to the court competent for the seat of the Antiquarian.
