1.2. Purchase of goods trough this site is offered as a part of retail business and is not intended for resale by the buyer.

1.3. Provisions different from the Terms of Service may be agreed in the Purchase Agreement. Such different provisions agreed in the Purchase Agreement take precedence over the provisions of the Terms of Service.

3. ENTRY INTO THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT

3.1. Any and all goods presented on the e-shop web interface serve for illustrative purposes only, and the Seller is under no obligation to enter into a Purchase Agreement regarding thus presented goods. The provisions of Section 1732, Paragraph 2 of the Civil Code do not apply.

3.2. The e-shop web interface contains information about goods, including the price for specific goods. Prices for goods are stated inclusive of value added tax and all related fees with the exception of postage. Prices for goods remain in effect as long as they remain displayed on the e-shop web interface. This provision is not to prejudice the Seller's right to enter into a Purchase Agreement under individually negotiated terms and conditions.

3.3. The e-shop web interface also provides information on the cost of packing and delivering goods to countries listed on the website, including the Czech Republic, Slovakia, EU Member States, and countries outside the EU.

3.4. To order goods, the Buyer must fill out an order form through the e-shop web interface. The order form mainly serves for the entry of information regarding:

3.4.1. the ordered goods (the Buyer places the ordered goods into the electronic shopping basket in the e-shop web interface),

3.4.2. the method for paying the purchase price for the goods and requested method for the delivery of the ordered goods, and

3.4.3. costs relating to the delivery of the goods ("order").

3.5. Prior to submitting an order to the Seller, the Buyer is allowed to verify and change data the Buyer entered into the order, at which time the Buyer can detect and correct errors made during the entry of data into the order form. The Buyer submits an order to the Seller by clicking on the "Finish Order" button. The Seller considers data stated in an order to be correct, and every submitted order is considered binding.

3.6. The submission of an order is considered to constitute an action on the part of the Buyer which incontestably identifies the ordered goods, the purchase price, the Buyer, and the terms for the payment of the purchase price, and which constitutes a proposal for the entry into a Purchase Agreement that is binding on the contracting parties. The validity of an order is conditional on the entry of all mandatory data into the order form and on the Buyer's confirmation of having read and understood these Terms of Service, as posted on the website.

3.7. Immediately after receiving an order, the Seller confirms the receipt thereof to the Buyer by electronic mail, at the Buyer's electronic mail address stated in the user interface or in the order ("Buyer's e-mail address").

3.9. A draft Purchase Agreement in the form of an order remains valid for 14 days.

3.10. The contractual arrangement between the Seller and the Buyer originates upon the delivery of an order confirmation (acceptance), which the Seller sends to the Buyer's e-mail address by electronic mail.

3.12. An amended offer is considered to constitute a new draft Purchase Agreement, and the Purchase Agreement is in such a case entered into only upon the Buyer's acceptance thereof by electronic mail.

3.13. The Buyer agrees to the use of remote means of communication for the purpose of entering into the Purchase Agreement. Costs incurred by the Buyer as part of the use of remote means of communication in connection with the entry into the Purchase Agreement (Internet connection fees, telephone charges) are assumed by the Buyer.
