- The buyer orders the goods from the supplier in writing, either by e-mail or in another agreed way. The contract is concluded at the moment of confirmation of the order by the supplier, which the supplier performs after verifying the availability of the goods, valid prices and the delivery date of the goods requested by the buyer.
- The supplier offers the goods at the prices stated in the price offer, which he continuously updates (hereinafter referred to as the “price list”). A newer price list issued or updated by the supplier replaces the previously issued price list. For the buyer, the prices listed in the price list valid at the time of order confirmation, or conclusion of the contract; if this price differs from the price in the price list valid at the time the order is sent by more than 10%, the supplier will notify the buyer of this fact before concluding the contract, who is entitled to cancel the order.
- The supplier can cancel the order if it is not possible to deliver the goods in the required time or at the required price.
- If the buyer pays the purchase price to the supplier by bank transfer, the day on which the entire purchase price was credited to the supplier’s account is considered the day of payment.
- The buyer agrees that if he does not pay the purchase price on time (becomes in arrears), without prejudice to § 369 of the Commercial Code, he is obliged to pay the supplier a contractual penalty of 0.15% of the amount due for each, including day of delay. In such a case, the supplier is further authorized not to accept further orders from the buyer.
- The buyer, as the recipient of the goods, agrees that the invoice will be issued and delivered to him in electronic format. After concluding the purchase contract, the supplier is not obliged to comply with the buyer’s request to correct or change the data in the invoice.
- DELIVERY OF GOODS AND RESERVATION OF TITLE
- Unless the contracting parties agree otherwise, the method of transporting the goods will be chosen by the supplier. The price for transportation is a flat fee of 2300HUF without VAT per shipment, with the exception of oversized shipments, for which the supplier reserves the right to change the transportation price. The supplier will notify the buyer of this price before sending the shipment. The goods are delivered by handing them over to the first carrier for transport for the buyer, unless the parties agree otherwise. The risk of damage to the goods passes to the buyer when the goods are handed over to the first carrier for transport to the destination.
- The goods remain the property of the supplier until full payment of the purchase price by the buyer.
- The buyer is obliged to take over the goods personally or to arrange for a third party to take them over for him. The person taking over the goods on behalf of or on behalf of the buyer is obliged to prove authorization to take over the goods at the request of the supplier or transporter. If it is necessary to repeat the delivery for reasons on the part of the buyer (for example, due to the absence of the buyer or a third person authorized by him at the agreed place or due to the failure to demonstrate authorization to take over the goods), or if the buyer does not take over the goods, all additional costs incurred are paid by the buyer, including any storage costs in to the amount specified below.
- The buyer is obliged to inspect the goods as soon as possible after the danger of damage to the goods has passed, but no later than on the next working day following the delivery of the goods. If the goods show signs of damage caused during transportation (obviously damaged or deformed packaging), the buyer is obliged to write a damage report with the carrier and report this damage to the supplier no later than the deadline for inspecting the goods. Damages of this type reported later are not taken into account.
- The purchase contract is concluded with a severance clause stating that if the buyer does not take over the goods even within 5 days after an additional call from the supplier and does not agree with the supplier on another date for taking over the goods, the contract is canceled from the beginning, the parties to the contract will return or replace all received services, and in particular the purchase price and goods to which the supplier acquires the right to freely dispose. This does not affect the supplier’s right to compensation for damage and payment of storage fees.
- PRODUCT DEFECTS
- The supplier provides a guarantee for the delivered goods. The warranty period is two years from the date of delivery of the goods, even if a longer warranty period is indicated on the packaging of the goods. If the warranty period indicated on the packaging (or anywhere else, including the product description) is shorter, this shorter warranty period will apply.
- During the warranty period, the buyer has the right to have the defect removed free of charge after delivery of the goods, including all its accessories , documentation, if provided, and the original packaging.
- If the goods show defects, the buyer has the right to file a claim with the supplier by filling out a claim form and delivering it to the supplier at the address

The supplier recommends using the electronic form in order to process the claim faster. In the complaint form, the buyer indicates which defect the complaint relates to and the invoice number.
- The buyer is obliged to report the complaint without unnecessary delay after discovering the defect, in any case within two working days after the defect appears.
- The supplier is not responsible for defects that occurred during the transport of the claimed goods to the supplier. The buyer is obliged to pack the goods according to the instructions of the relevant transport company, or if there are no such instructions, then in accordance with the nature of the goods and the nature and extent of the claimed defect. If goods with a defect are delivered to the supplier, while this defect was not mentioned in the complaint report, it is considered that the defect occurred during transportation as a result of insufficient packaging and the supplier is not responsible for it.
- As a rule, the supplier handles the complaint within 60 days from the day of receipt of the goods. If the supplier does not handle the claim within this period, it is not a breach of contract and does not fall into default. In this context, the buyer does not have any rights.
- The supplier shall satisfy the buyer’s claim at his discretion either by removing the defect in the goods, by providing an appropriate discount on the purchase price, the amount of which he determines, by returning the purchase price or by delivering the goods without defects. If the claim is not justified, the supplier rejects the claim by returning the claimed goods to the buyer. The supplier is not obliged to provide the buyer with proof of handling the claim when processing the claim.
- The buyer is obliged to take over the goods that the supplier sends to him after the claim has been rejected. If it is necessary to repeat the delivery for reasons on the part of the buyer, all additional costs incurred in this way are paid by the buyer. If the buyer does not take over the goods even within the additional reasonable period provided by the supplier, he is obliged to pay the supplier a storage fee of 2000HUF for every single piece of goods for each day, including the day after the expiry of the additional period for taking over the goods, until after its takeover.
- If the supplier handles the claim by rejecting it, he can offer the buyer to remove the defects at the buyer’s expense. In the event of rejection of the claim, the supplier may also demand compensation for the costs incurred in processing the claim, especially in connection with the diagnosis of the defect carried out by a third party (authorized service) and the transport of the goods.
- WITHDRAWAL FROM CONTRACT
- The supplier is entitled to withdraw from the contract for reasons established by these GTC and generally binding legal regulations. The supplier is also entitled to withdraw from the contract due to the sold-out of stocks, unavailability of goods, or if the manufacturer, importer or supplier of the goods agreed in the contract stopped production or made such serious changes that made it impossible to fulfill the supplier’s obligations arising from the contract or due to force majeure, or if, even after making all the efforts that can be fairly required of him, he is unable to deliver the goods to the buyer within the period determined by these GTC or at the agreed price. The supplier is obliged to inform the buyer about this fact without undue delay and return all payments to the buyer. This does not affect the right of the contracting parties to agree on alternative performance or a changed price.
