Prices quoted in our Selling System are total prices including costs of products' delivery to the Client by the delivery option chosen by the Service Provider.
By placing the Order the Client accepts the current selling price and his or her obligation to pay it.
The Client is obliged to cover all additional costs beyond the selling price quoted in the Sales System for the delivery of the ordered goods, in particular customs duties, import duties, handling fees or similar if the Client's obligation to cover these costs arise from the legal regulations applicable in the country of delivery. The Service Provider shall not be obliged to cover the above listed additional payments.

Customs procedure or any other import procedure, provided for by the regulations applicable in the country of delivery, may result in delays being beyond the control of the Service Provider.

Partners of the Payment System and the Payment System Operator reserve the right to refuse to handle payments made by the Customer, in particular if doubts arise concerning the legality of the transaction because of which the payment is made, or the legality of the payment itself.
The Customer acknowledges that the Payment System Operator, as well as his partners, assess financial credibility of the persons who are going to make a payment using a payment card and can thus differentiate payment rules or condition some terms for providing services depending on which risk group a given Customer is assigned to. Therefore the Payment System Operator reserves the right to refuse to handle a given payment in justified cases.
The Payment System Operator and the Service Provider shall not be liable for any delay in the transmission of payments or of authorization responses, due to causes arising after the Customer has requested a payment, as well as non-execution and delay in the transfer of funds or data verification, in particular caused by the Customer giving inaccurate or incomplete data, which prevent execution of the payment, as well as a delay resulting from other events beyond the Service Provider’s or Payment System Operator’s control.
