- The objective of processing Buyer’s data by the Seller provided by the Buyer in relation to shopping in the Shop is to fulfil orders. The basis for processing personal data in this case is:
- a contract or actions taken at the request of the Buyer in order to conclude the contract (point (b) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR),
- the Seller’s legal obligation related to accounting (point (c) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR), and
- the Seller’s legitimate interest consisting in processing data in order to determine, exercise or defend any possible claims (point (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR).
- The provision of data by the Buyer is voluntary, but at the same time necessary to conclude the contract. Failure to provide such data will make it impossible to conclude the contract in the Shop.

- the contract concluded by and between the Buyer and the Seller expires;

- restriction of processing,
- transfer of data to another controller

- In order to exercise his/her rights, the Buyer should contact the Seller using data indicated in section 2 of the Terms and Conditions.
- If the Buyer considers that his/her data is processed illegally, the Buyer may lodge a complaint with an authority competent for personal data protection.
Section 11 RESTRICTIONS
- The Buyer is forbidden to provide content of illegal nature.
- Each order placed at the Shop requires conclusion of a separate contract and separate acceptance of the Terms and Conditions. The contract is concluded for the time and for the purpose of order fulfilment.
- All contracts concluded under these Terms and Conditions are subject to the provisions of Polish law, subject to paragraph 4.
- The choice of Polish law as governing law for contracts concluded with Consumers under the Terms and Conditions does not revoke or limit the rights of Consumers which they can exercise pursuant to the applicable mandatory provisions of law, applicable to the Consumer in cases where the choice of law does not take place, pursuant to Regulation (EC) of the European Parliament and of the Council No 593/2008 of 17 June 2008 on the law applicable to contractual obligations (Rome I). This means in particular that if national provisions applicable to a certain Consumer provide for wider protection than that resulting from these Terms and Conditions or the Polish law – this wider protection shall be applied.
- The contracts concluded through the Shop are concluded in English.
- No regulation of the present Terms and Conditions waives or restricts in any way the applicable Consumer rights imposed by the provisions of law.
- A natural person concluding a contract directly related to his/her economic activity shall be treated as a Consumer and has the same rights as Consumers, when the content of such contract implies it is not of professional nature for this person.

Section 12 PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO BUYERS WHO ARE NOT CONSUMERS
- Any liability of the Seller towards the Buyer who is not a Consumer, within the limits permitted by law, is excluded.
