- The Customer may submit an opinion after using the form that allows for adding an opinion about the Product or Online Store.

When adding an opinion, the Customer is obliged to act in accordance with the law, these Regulations and good customs.
- Opinions may be made available directly on the Online Store website (e.g. for a given Product) or on an external website collecting opinions with which the Seller cooperates and to which it refers on the Online Store website (including via an external widget placed on the Online Store website).
- The Seller ensures that the published opinions about the Products come from its Customers who have purchased the Product. For this purpose, the Seller takes the following actions to check whether the opinions come from its Customers:

Verification consists of checking the compliance of the opinion with the Regulations, in particular checking whether the person giving the opinion is a Customer of the Online Store - in this case the Seller checks whether this person made a purchase in the Online Store, and in the case of an opinion about a Product, additionally checks whether they purchased the Product being reviewed. Verification takes place without undue delay.

In each case of providing content by the Service Recipient, he is obliged to comply with the principles contained in the Regulations.

The Service Provider designates Polish and English as the languages for communication with its point of contact.

- The notification referred to above shall be deemed to constitute actual knowledge or information for the purposes of Article 6 of the Digital Services Act in relation to the information to which it relates if it enables the Service Provider acting with due diligence to determine – without a detailed legal analysis – the illegal nature of the activity or information in question.
- If the report contains electronic contact details of the person or entity that made the report, the Service Provider shall, without undue delay, send such person or entity a confirmation of receipt of the report. The Service Provider shall also, without undue delay, notify such person or entity of its decision with respect to the information to which the report relates, providing information on the possibility of appealing the decision.
- The Service Provider shall review all reports it receives under the mechanism referred to above and shall make decisions with respect to the information to which the reports relate in a timely, non-arbitrary and objective manner and with due diligence.

- The following rules apply to the Service Recipient in the event of providing any content within the Online Store:
- the obligation to use the Online Store, including posting content (e.g. as part of opinions or comments), in accordance with its intended purpose, these Regulations and in a manner consistent with the law and good customs, taking into account the respect for personal rights and copyrights and intellectual property of the Service Provider and third parties;

- the obligation to use the Online Store in a way that does not pose a threat to the security of the IT system of the Service Provider, the Online Store or third parties.
- The Service Provider reserves the right to moderate content provided by Service Recipients to the Online Store website. Moderation is carried out in good faith and with due diligence and on the Service Provider's own initiative or upon receipt of a report in order to detect, identify and remove Illegal Content or other content that is inconsistent with the Regulations or to prevent access to it or to take the necessary measures to meet 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 Regulations.
- The moderation process may be carried out manually by a human or based on automated or partially automated tools that help the Service Provider identify Illegal Content or other content that is inconsistent with the Regulations. After identifying such content, the Service Provider shall decide whether to remove or disable access to the content or otherwise limit its visibility or take other actions it deems necessary (e.g. contact the Service User to clarify any objections and change the content). The Service Provider shall clearly and easily understandably inform the Service User who provided the content (if they have their contact details) about their decision, the reasons for it and the available options for appealing against this decision.
- When exercising its rights and obligations under the Digital Services Act, the Service Provider is obliged to act with due diligence, in an objective and proportionate manner and with due regard to the rights and legitimate interests of all parties involved, including the recipients of the service, in particular the rights enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, such as freedom of expression, media freedom and pluralism and other fundamental rights and freedoms.
- The following rules apply to the Service Recipient in the event of providing any content within the Online Store:
- Any comments, complaints, claims, appeals or reservations regarding decisions or other actions or lack of action taken by the Service Provider based on the received notification or decision of the Service Provider taken in accordance with the provisions of these Regulations may be submitted in a manner analogous to the complaints procedure indicated in point 6 of the Regulations. Using this procedure is free of charge and allows for submitting complaints electronically to the provided e-mail address. Using the procedure for reporting and considering complaints is without prejudice to the right of the person or entity to initiate proceedings before a court and does not violate their other rights.
- The Service Provider shall consider all comments, complaints, claims, appeals or objections regarding decisions or other actions or lack of action taken by the Service Provider on the basis of a notification received or a decision made in a timely, non-discriminatory, objective and non-arbitrary manner. If a complaint or other notification contains sufficient reasons for the Service Provider to consider that its decision not to take action in response to the notification is unjustified or that the information to which the complaint relates is not illegal and inconsistent with the Regulations, or contains information indicating that the complainant's action does not justify the measure taken, the Service Provider shall, without undue delay, rescind or amend its decision regarding the possible removal or disabling of access to the content or otherwise limiting its visibility or take other actions it deems necessary.
- Service Recipients, persons or entities who have reported Illegal Content and to whom the Service Provider's decisions regarding Illegal Content or content that is inconsistent with the Regulations are addressed, have the right to choose any out-of-court dispute resolution body certified by the Digital Services Coordinator of a Member State to resolve disputes regarding these decisions, including complaints that have not been resolved within the Service Provider's internal complaint handling system.
- MISCELLANEOUS
- Agreements concluded via the Online Store are concluded in Polish.
- Changing the Regulations:
- The Service Provider reserves the right to make changes to these Regulations for important reasons, i.e.: changes in legal regulations; changes in the methods or terms of payment or delivery, being subject to a legal or regulatory obligation; changes in the scope or form of the Electronic Services provided; adding new Electronic Services; the need to counteract an unforeseen and direct threat related to the protection of the Online Store, including Electronic Services and Service Recipients/Customers against fraud, malware, spam, data breaches or other threats to cybersecurity - to the extent to which these changes affect the implementation of the provisions of these Regulations.
- Notification of proposed changes is sent at least 15 days in advance before the date of entry into force of these changes, provided that the change may be introduced without observing the 15-day notice period in the event that the Service Provider: (1) is subject to a legal or regulatory obligation, on the basis of which it is obliged to change the Regulations in a way that prevents it from meeting the 15-day notice period; or (2) must, as an exception, change its Regulations in order to counteract an unforeseen and direct threat related to the protection of the Online Store, including Electronic Services and Service Recipients/Customers against fraud, malware, spam, data breach or other threats to cybersecurity. In the last two cases referred to in the previous sentence, the introduction of changes shall take place with immediate effect, unless it is possible or necessary to apply a longer deadline for introducing the changes, of which the Service Provider shall notify each time.
- In the case of contracts of a continuous nature (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 notification period for proposed changes. Such termination becomes effective within 15 days from the date of receipt of the notification. In the case of conclusion of a contract of a continuous nature, the amended Regulations are binding on the Service Recipient if he was properly notified of the changes, in accordance with the notification period before their introduction and did not terminate the contract during this period. Additionally, at any time after receiving notification of changes, the Service Recipient may accept the introduced changes and thus resign from the further duration of the notification period. In the case of conclusion of a contract of a different nature than continuous contracts, changes to the Regulations will not in any way violate the rights acquired by the Service Recipient before the date of entry into force of the changes to the Regulations, in particular changes to the Regulations will not affect already placed or submitted Orders and concluded, implemented or performed Sales Agreements.
- In the event that a change to the Regulations results in the introduction of any new fees or an increase in existing fees, the consumer has the right to withdraw from the contract.
- In matters not covered by these Regulations, generally applicable provisions of Polish law shall apply, in particular: the Civil Code; the Act on the provision of electronic services of July 18, 2002 (Journal of Laws 2002 No. 144, item 1204, as amended); The Consumer Rights Act; and other relevant provisions of generally applicable law.
