Terms of service Note: This document is originally drafted in English. Any translations are solely provided for convenience. In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between versions, the English version shall prevail. 1. GENERAL PROVISIONS 1.1. This website (the “Site”) is operated by HESFAM VENTURES sp. z o.o. (“we,” “us,” “our”), and hosted on the Shopify platform (“Shopify”). By using the Site and/or placing orders on it, you (“user,” “you”) agree to these Terms and Conditions of Use (“Terms”). 1.2. These Terms apply to all visitors and users of the Site, including those who browse, register, place orders, post comments, or otherwise interact with the Site’s content and services. 1.3. If you do not agree with any provision here, you must discontinue use of the Site and our services (“Services”). 1.4. We reserve the right to amend these Terms by publishing the updated version on the Site. If material changes substantially affect users’ rights or obligations, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you (e.g., by email or a notice on the Site). Your continued use of the Site after such changes indicates acceptance, unless doing so would violate mandatory consumer protection laws. 1.5. Nothing in these Terms restricts or cancels any mandatory consumer rights established by the legislation of the European Union, the United Kingdom, or other applicable jurisdictions. 2. AGE RESTRICTIONS AND REGISTRATION 2.1. You confirm that you have reached the age of majority in your country, or have valid authorization from legal guardians, and possess full legal capacity to enter into contracts. 2.2. When placing orders or registering an account, you undertake to provide accurate and up-to-date information and to promptly update it as changes occur. 2.3. Right to Refuse Service We reserve the right to refuse services or accept/cancel any user’s order at any time without explanation, if we deem it necessary. 2.4. Conclusion of Contract A purchase contract is deemed concluded when we (1) accept your order by sending you a confirmation (e.g., via email or other means), or (2) actually begin fulfillment (compiling and shipping the order). In cases of payment through external providers (PayPal, Shopify Payments, etc.), the contract may be considered concluded at the time of payment confirmation, if such is explicitly stipulated by the relevant provider’s terms. 3. PRODUCTS AND ORDERS 3.1. Product Descriptions We make every reasonable effort to ensure that product information (including photos, descriptions, and prices) is accurate and up to date. However, certain product characteristics (such as color, size, texture, materials, included components, or packaging) may slightly differ from what appears on the Site, due to technical, production, or other factors. 3.2. Third-Party Suppliers Our products may be manufactured and/or shipped by external producers or logistics companies (“Suppliers”). While we select such Suppliers with care, we cannot fully control their activities. 3.3. Liability for Performance In accordance with mandatory EU, UK, and other applicable laws, we act as the seller and bear responsibility to the buyer for proper fulfillment of the contract. If quality or delivery issues arise, we assist in resolving claims with Suppliers or carriers. However, we limit our liability to the amount actually paid for the order, unless such limitation conflicts with mandatory legal rules. 3.4. Changes and Cancellations We may cancel or limit an order (including one already paid) if fraud is detected, if an item is out of stock, or if fulfillment is impossible. In such a case, we will notify you promptly and refund any amounts paid. 3.5. Storage of Contract Text We store the contract text (your order information and these Terms) solely within our internal system. Upon request, we can send you a duplicate of your order confirmation and the current Terms via email. 3.6. Errors and Inaccuracies We reserve the right to correct any mistakes, inaccuracies, or omissions on the Site and to update information (including orders already placed) if any data proves incorrect or outdated, without prior notice. 4. PRICES, PAYMENT, AND TAXES 4.1. Price Formation Prices displayed on the Site may or may not include taxes and duties, depending on applicable laws. Detailed information is provided when placing an order. 4.2. Payment Methods All transactions are processed via Shopify Payments or other payment services, which use encrypted transmission. We do not retain or process full card details. Any technical faults or unauthorized access at the payment provider’s end are outside our responsibility, unless expressly required by law. 4.3. Taxes and Duties We strive to include all applicable taxes and duties in the final price. However, in certain shipping methods or jurisdictions, the buyer may be subject to additional customs fees. If in doubt, please contact us. 4.4. Price Changes We reserve the right to modify prices without prior notice. This does not affect already confirmed and paid orders, except in cases of a clear error (e.g., technical or typographical). If such occurs, we will contact you to rectify or cancel the order and refund your payment if canceled. 5. SHIPPING AND DELIVERY TIMES 5.1. Delivery Estimates Stated delivery times are approximate and may vary due to logistics, carrier operations, or force majeure. We are not liable for delays caused by third parties, unless otherwise mandated by law. 5.2. Risk of Loss If you are a consumer in the EU or the UK, risk of loss or damage transfers to you only after you physically receive the product. If loss or damage occurs before that moment, we will arrange a reshipment or refund in accordance with the law. 5.3. Accurate Address You must provide a valid and complete shipping address. Any extra costs or delays arising from incorrect or incomplete data are your responsibility. 5.4. Transport Damage Upon receiving your order, if you notice damage to the packaging or product, please promptly inform the carrier and us. This does not affect your statutory rights, but it helps us expedite claims with the carrier. 5.5. Failed Delivery If delivery is impossible for reasons beyond our control (e.g., an incorrect address, absence of the recipient, or lack of communication), and goods are returned to us, we may withhold the cost of redelivery from the amount actually paid, or provide a refund minus our direct expenses, unless otherwise stipulated by law. 5.6. Shipping Policy Please refer to our Shipping Policy for further details on shipping methods, times, and conditions. These Terms and the Shipping Policy complement each other. 6. RETURNS AND ORDER CANCELLATIONS 6.1. Return Policy All return, exchange, and refund conditions are set out in our Refund Policy. If you are a consumer in the EU or the UK, you may have the right to withdraw (cancel) your purchase within 14 days of receiving the goods, unless otherwise specified by law or exemptions. 6.2. Exceptions Some returns may be restricted under certain laws (e.g., for customized products). Delays by the carrier or an incorrect address may not entitle you to a return, unless provided for by law. 6.3. Order Cancellation You may cancel your order before it is processed (e.g., picked and packed). If the order has been prepared or shipped, cancellation is only possible according to our Return Policy or by mutual agreement. 6.4. Refunds When a return (or cancellation prior to shipment) is approved, we refund your payment through the same method used for payment or another mutually agreed method, without undue delay and within legal time frames. 7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY 7.1. “As Is” Principle The Site, products, and all services are provided “as is” and “as available,” without any further warranties except those which cannot be excluded by law. 7.2. No Accuracy Guarantee We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free Site operation, total accuracy of information, or that products or services will fully meet your expectations. 7.3. Disclaimer of Implied Warranties To the maximum extent allowed by law, we expressly disclaim any implied warranties, including merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose, unless otherwise mandated. 7.4. Exclusion of Liability Within the fullest extent permissible under applicable laws, we shall not be liable for direct or indirect losses, including lost profit, missed deals, or other commercial damages resulting from use or inability to use our products and/or the Site, unless expressly required by law. This exclusion does not apply if it contradicts mandatory rules under EU, UK, or other consumer protection statutes. 7.5. Liability Cap Our overall liability to you shall not exceed the actual amount you paid for the order in question, unless compelled otherwise by imperative legal norms. 8.

These Terms are governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of Poland, taking into account mandatory consumer law in the EU and UK if applicable. 13.2.

The invalid provision shall be replaced (or limited) to the extent necessary to ensure the remaining provisions retain their full force. 16. ENTIRE AGREEMENT 16.1.
