6. Complaints
A Customer who is a Consumer is entitled to submit a complaint regarding a purchased Product.
The Seller is liable for the conformity of the Product with the agreement; in particular, the Seller is obliged to deliver to the Customer a product free from defects and in conformity with the Sales Agreement concluded.
The Seller shall not be liable for a lack of conformity of the Product with the agreement to the extent set out in Art. 43b(2) or (3) of the Consumer Rights Act, if the Customer was expressly informed that a specific feature of the Product deviates from the conformity requirements and, no later than at the time of conclusion of the sales agreement, expressly and separately accepted that feature.
The Seller is liable for a lack of conformity of the Goods with the Sales Agreement existing at the time of delivery of the Goods and disclosed within 2 years of that time.
A complaint may be submitted by the Consumer in any form.
In the event of a lack of conformity of the Goods with the Sales Agreement, the Consumer may demand:
- repair, or
- replacement.
The Seller may effect replacement when the Consumer demands repair, or the Seller may effect repair when the Consumer demands replacement, if bringing the Goods into conformity with the agreement in the manner chosen by the Consumer:
- is impossible, or
- would entail excessive costs for the Seller.
If both repair and replacement are impossible or would entail excessive costs for the Seller, the Seller may refuse to bring the Goods into conformity with the agreement.
The Seller shall carry out the repair or replacement of the Goods at its own cost within a reasonable time from the moment the Seller was informed by the Consumer of the non-conformity of the goods with the agreement. The Consumer is obliged to make the goods subject to repair or replacement available to the Seller.
The Consumer is also entitled to submit a declaration of a price reduction or withdrawal from the Sales Agreement when:
- the Seller has refused to bring the Goods into conformity with the agreement;
- the Seller has failed to bring the Goods into conformity with the agreement;
- the non-conformity of the Goods with the agreement persists despite the Seller's attempts to bring the Goods into conformity;
- the non-conformity of the Goods with the agreement is so significant as to justify a price reduction or withdrawal from the agreement without prior demand for repair or replacement;
- it is clear from the Seller's statement or the circumstances that the Seller will not bring the Goods into conformity with the agreement within a reasonable time or without excessive inconvenience for the Consumer.
In the event of the Consumer submitting a declaration of a price reduction, the amounts due as a result of exercising this right shall be returned to the Customer no later than within 14 days of the Seller's receipt of the Customer's declaration of a price reduction. The refund shall be made using the same payment method as that used by the Consumer when paying for the goods, unless the Consumer expressly consents to a different refund method.
In the event of the Consumer exercising the right of withdrawal from the agreement in the circumstances referred to in Art. 43e(1) of the Consumer Rights Act, the Consumer shall return the Goods to the Seller without delay. All costs associated with returning the Goods in the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence shall be borne by the Seller. The Seller shall effect the refund of the purchase price within 14 days of receipt of the Goods or proof of their dispatch.
The Consumer is recommended to provide the following information in the description of the complaint:
- information and circumstances relating to the subject matter of the complaint, in particular the type and date of occurrence of the defect;
- the requested method of bringing the Product into conformity with the Sales Agreement or a declaration of a price reduction or withdrawal from the Sales Agreement; and
- the contact details of the person submitting the complaint (name and surname, correspondence address, telephone number, email address) – this will facilitate and expedite the handling of the complaint by the Seller. The requirements set out in the preceding sentence are recommendations only and do not affect the validity of complaints submitted without the recommended description.
A Customer returning a Product under a complaint should pack it appropriately to ensure protection against damage in transit.
The Seller shall not be liable for damage caused exclusively as a result of improper packaging of the Product by the Customer during return shipment, provided such damage did not exist at the time of delivery of the Product to the Customer.
A complaint does not cover damage caused exclusively by factors attributable to the Customer, in particular as a result of using the Product in a manner inconsistent with its intended purpose or care instructions.
The Seller informs that photographs of Products presented in the Store may slightly differ from the actual appearance of the Product due to individual screen settings on the Customer's devices.
In the event of a complaint being upheld, the Seller shall bear the costs associated with bringing the Product into conformity with the agreement, including transport costs, in accordance with Art. 43d of the Consumer Rights Act.
7. Complaint Handling Deadline
The Seller shall respond to the Customer's complaint without undue delay, no later than within 14 days of its receipt. Otherwise, the complaint shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Seller.
8. Dispute Resolution
In the event of a dispute arising, Consumers shall have the option of using both court proceedings and out-of-court dispute resolution methods, in particular by:
- submitting a request to the competent Regional Inspectorate of Trade Inspection to conduct out-of-court consumer dispute resolution proceedings, in accordance with the Act of 23 September 2016 on out-of-court consumer dispute resolution (contact information available on the UOKiK website: https://uokik.gov.pl/pomoc-dla-konsumentow);
- referring the matter to the Permanent Consumer Arbitration Court operating at the relevant Regional Inspectorate of Trade Inspection (list of courts and contact details: https://uokik.gov.pl/pomoc-dla-konsumentow);
- obtaining assistance from the Municipal Consumer Ombudsman in the area of consumer rights protection (https://uokik.gov.pl/rzecznicy-konsumentow).
The former EU ODR platform was discontinued on 20 July 2025. Information about consumer dispute resolution bodies is available at: https://consumer-redress.ec.europa.eu/dispute-resolution-bodies.
The use of the above out-of-court dispute resolution methods is voluntary and requires the joint agreement of both parties.
