The requirements set out in the preceding sentence are merely recommendations and do not affect the validity of complaints submitted without the recommended description.
6.5. Should the complainant change their contact details whilst the complaint is being processed, they are obliged to notify the Seller of this.
6.6. The complainant may attach evidence (e.g. photographs, documents or the Product) relating to the subject of the complaint.

6.7. The Seller shall respond to the complaint without delay, no later than within 14 calendar days of receipt.
6.8. The basis and scope of the Seller’s statutory liability are determined by generally applicable legal provisions, in particular the Civil Code, the Consumer Rights Act and the Act on the Provision of Electronic Services of 18 July 2002 (Journal of Laws No. 144, item 1204, as amended).

These provisions specify, in particular, the basis and scope of the Seller’s liability towards the consumer in the event of the Product’s non-conformity with the Sales Contract.

6.10. The provisions concerning consumers set out in clauses 6.8.1. and 6.8.2 of the Terms and Conditions also apply to a Customer who is a natural person entering into a contract directly related to their business activity, where the content of that contract indicates that it is not of a professional nature for that person, arising in particular from the nature of their business activity, as disclosed under the provisions on the Central Register and Information on Economic Activity.

11.4.2. The Service Provider reserves the right to moderate content provided by Service Users on the Online Store website. Moderation is carried out in good faith and with due diligence, either on the Service Provider’s own initiative or following a report received, for the purpose of detecting, identify and remove Illegal Content or other content that is inconsistent with the Terms and Conditions, or to prevent access to such content, or to take the necessary measures to comply with the requirements of European Union law and national law consistent with European Union law, including the requirements set out in the Digital Services Act, or the requirements contained in the Terms and Conditions.
11.4.3.

FINAL PROVISIONS
-
12.1. Contracts concluded via the Online Shop are concluded in Polish.
12.2. Amendments to the Terms and Conditions:
-
12.2.1. The Service Provider reserves the right to amend these Terms and Conditions for valid reasons, namely: changes in legislation; changes to payment or delivery methods or deadlines; compliance with legal or regulatory obligations; changes to the scope or form of the Electronic Services provided; the addition of new Electronic Services; the need to counter an unforeseen and immediate threat to the protection of the Online Shop, including Electronic Services and Service Users/Customers, against fraud, malware, spam, data breaches or other cybersecurity threats – to the extent that such changes affect the implementation of the provisions of these Terms and Conditions.
12.2.2. Notice of proposed changes shall be sent at least 15 days prior to the date on which such changes come into effect; provided, however, that a change may be implemented without observing the 15-day notice period where the Service Provider: (1) is subject to a legal or regulatory obligation requiring it to amend the Terms and Conditions in a manner that prevents it from complying with the 15-day notice period; or (2) must, as an exception, amend its Terms and Conditions to counter an unforeseen and immediate threat relating to the protection of the Online Store, including Electronic Services and Service Users/Customers, against fraud, malware, spam, data breaches or other cybersecurity threats. In the last two cases referred to in the preceding sentence, the changes shall take effect immediately, unless it is possible or necessary to apply a longer period for the implementation of the changes, in which case the Service Provider shall notify the Service User in each instance.
12.2.3. In the case of ongoing contracts (e.g. provision of the Electronic Service – Account), the Service Recipient has the right to terminate the contract with the Service Provider before the expiry of the notice period for the proposed changes. Such termination shall take effect within 15 days of the date of receipt of the notice. In the case of a continuing contract, the amended Terms and Conditions shall be binding on the Customer if they have been duly notified of the changes in accordance with the notice period prior to their introduction and have not terminated the contract during that period. Furthermore, at any time after receiving notification of the changes, the Service User may accept the changes and thereby waive the remainder of the notice period. In the case of a contract of a nature other than a continuous contract, amendments to the Terms and Conditions shall in no way infringe upon the rights acquired by the Customer prior to the date on which the amendments to the Terms and Conditions come into force; in particular, amendments to the Terms and Conditions shall not affect Orders already placed or submitted, or Sales Contracts that have been concluded, are being performed or have been fulfilled.
12.2.4. Should an amendment to the Terms and Conditions result in the introduction of any new charges or an increase in existing charges, the consumer shall have the right to withdraw from the contract.
12.3. In matters not covered by these Terms and Conditions, the generally applicable provisions of Polish law shall apply, in particular: the Civil Code; the Act on the Provision of Electronic Services of 18 July 2002 (Journal of Laws 2002 No. 144, item 1204, as amended); the Consumer Rights Act; and other relevant provisions of generally applicable law.
