The Conditions are integral part of each individual purchase contract concluded between the Seller and the Buyer.

All commercial relationships are governed by Czech law. In particular, Act No. 89/2012 Coll., the Civil Code („Civil Code“) shall apply to the legal relationships of the Seller and the Buyer that are not governed by these Conditions or by an individual purchase contract.

2. Purchase contract conclusion.

Price offers are valid for (30) days, unless the offer stipulates otherwise. The purchase contract is concluded on the basis of signing of a written purchase contract by authorised representatives of both the Seller and the Buyer („Written purchase contract”), or on the basis of a binding and irrevocable written order of the Buyer („Order”) at the moment of its written confirmation by the Seller. In the event of a conflict between the Order and the Written purchase contract, the Written purchase contract shall prevail. By sending an Order, the Buyer agrees to the exclusive use of these Conditions which will become part of the Buyer’s Order. The purchase contract is also considered to be concluded at the moment when the Seller provides the Buyer with the ordered goods. If the Order is not confirmed by the Seller within 7 working days from the date of the Order’s delivery, it shall be considered expired. Any additional changes to the purchase contract are only possible in writing upon agreement of both parties. The purchase contract is also concluded if the Buyer appears in person at the Seller’s establishment, verbally executes the Order, accepts the ordered goods and subsequently signs the delivery note or takes over the tax document.
