8. Privacy Policy

8.1. The protection of personal data is governed by Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (General Data Protection Regulation) ("GDPR").

8.2. The Buyer, who is a natural person, agrees to the processing of the following personal data: name, surname, address, electronic communication address, telephone number by the Seller, as the controller of the personal data. The contact details of the controller are set out in Article 1.1 of these Terms and Conditions.

8.3. The Buyer agrees to the processing of the Buyer's personal data by the Seller for the purpose of fulfilling the rights and obligations arising from the Purchase Agreement, sending commercial communications and other information related to the Seller and its services. Giving consent to the performance of rights and obligations arising from the Purchase Agreement establishes lawful processing under Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, the sending of commercial communications and other information by the Seller constitutes contractual processing.

8.4. Personal data will be processed by the Seller for a period of 10 years from the conclusion of the Purchase Agreement. The Buyer is entitled to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data.

8.5. Recipients of personal data may be natural or legal persons carrying out activities in the field of accounting, tax consulting, advocacy, public authorities and the carrier providing transport of the object of sale.

8.6. The Buyer is entitled to request from the controller access to personal data, their correction or deletion, or restriction of processing and to object to processing, as well as the right to non-transferability of data. The Buyer is entitled to lodge a complaint against processing with a supervisory authority. The supervisory authority is the Office for Personal Data Protection, Pplk. Sochor 27, 170 00 Prague 7, Czech Republic.

9. Interpretation of terms - proof, 1:1 sample

9.1. Proof - The Seller prepares a proof for each new Purchase Agreement with new print data (graphics) of the Buyer, which is prepared according to the possibilities and limitations of the selected technology and product. The proof, sent in PDF print format, is used for the purpose of reconciling the placement of the individual graphic elements in the specific dimensional format of the product. The Buyer is obliged to approve the proof immediately upon receipt, otherwise the delivery date will be extended. Upon expiry of the deadline for approval of the proof, the price offer shall expire, regardless of whether or not it has already been accepted by the Buyer. In the event of non-agreement, the Seller shall be entitled to a contractual penalty of 1% of the value of the price offer and shall also be entitled to withdraw from the Purchase Agreement. The Buyer's acceptance of the proof is binding and any later claims shall be disregarded. In the event of subsequent changes by the Buyer, the Seller may demand payment of the costs involved. The proof does not serve as a binding colour preview in the case of complex CMYK prints or if a 1:1 sample was produced following communication with the Buyer. For these purposes, a GMG print or the aforementioned 1:1 sample is used. In the case of prints in direct Pantone colors, the Buyer shall supply the selected color according to the Pantone sample book or it is suggested to the Buyer by the Seller in proof. If a GMG proof or 1:1 sample is supplied to the Buyer for the purpose of the order, these physical samples shall take precedence over the proof and final production will be subject to approval.

9.2. 1:1 sample - A 1:1 physical sample is made after agreement with the Buyer. This sample may be charged individually. The price is quoted to the Buyer before the 1:1 sample is produced and must be agreed by the Buyer. The 1:1 sample is used to give a closer idea of the final product, where the Seller tries to be as close as possible to the final mass production, i.e. the final product, in terms of color, size, material and its weight and other technical elements such as surface finish, type and design of handles or printing effects. Even with the Seller's best efforts, there may be some deviations from the mass production (final product), where processing technology and production procedures may be different. However, the Seller shall make every effort, according to the Buyer's requirements, to come as close as possible to mass production, i.e. to the ordered product according to the required specification. By agreeing to a 1:1 sample, the Seller undertakes to deliver goods to a similar specification to the sample and the Buyer to take delivery of the goods. Any differences in the design of the goods which do not affect the actual or expected utility of the product or which do not alter its visual appearance compared to the approved sample shall not be deemed to be a failure to comply with the specification of the goods under this paragraph. The Seller may insist on the production of a 1:1 sample due to, for example, a more demanding product. In such a case, the cost of production shall be borne by the Seller. The 1:1 sample must be agreed immediately by the Buyer unless the agreement process has a negative effect on the extension of the delivery date (if not agreed by the Buyer, the failure of approval has the same effects as for the proof, i.e. % penalty, or withdrawal from the Purchase Agreement, which does not affect the recovery of damages incurred by the Seller, i.e. purchase of materials, etc.). In case the Seller makes a sample at the Buyer's request in accordance with the above, this will always be made in a minimum of 2 pieces. Each party will then be left with an approved sample with ID number, which will be confirmed by email communication. The Buyer acknowledges that the sample is mostly handmade and may therefore differ from the mass-produced goods supplied as stated above.  

10. Production possibilities for individual technologies

10.1. Depending on the selected material, the color of the delivered goods may differ from the accepted proof or GMG print. Each material has its characteristics and specifics. Each material has different absorbency and other properties that cannot be individually simulated in the proof. The same is true when using a lamination, which affects the final perception of the color that the lamination overlays. The best solution for the Buyer is to request a 1:1 sample for approval before mass production, which more closely approximates the final mass production and final product/goods. However, this 1:1 sample may be charged by the Seller.

11. Other provisions

11.1. Set-off against the Seller's claims or the assertion of any lien or retention of the Goods by the Buyer is excluded.

11.2. The Seller is entitled to assign the receivable including the accessories resulting from the invoice to the entity providing factoring services. In the event that the Seller makes use of this service, the Buyer shall transfer payment to the account of the factoring service provider in accordance with the Seller's instructions. The Buyer's obligation shall only be extinguished by its fulfilment to the factoring service provider. All necessary information is provided on the invoice (bank, account number, notice of use of factoring services). The Seller is entitled to use the factoring services without the Buyer's consent. The Seller's decision to use/not to use the factoring services is not prejudiced by the Buyer's payment record.

11.3. The Seller is entitled to arrange insurance for payment of the invoice by the Buyer.

11.4. In the course of business, the Seller or the Buyer may gain access to information which it considers to be confidential in relation to the other party ("Confidential Information"). The parties undertake to keep the other party's Confidential Information confidential. Breach of confidentiality with respect to the disclosure of Confidential Information shall be permitted only for reasons necessary for the performance of the obligations under the respective Purchase Agreement, including disclosure of such information to third parties involved in the performance of the obligations under the respective contracts or to entities providing security for such obligations.

11.5. All disputes arising out of and in connection with Purchase Agreements between the Seller and the Buyer and/or these Terms and Conditions, where the purchase price of the subject matter of the Purchase Agreement does not exceed CZK 300,000.00 excluding VAT, such disputes arising out of such Purchase Agreement shall be finally arbitrated by three arbitrators at the Court of Arbitration of the Czech Chamber of Commerce and the Czech Chamber of Agriculture in accordance with its rules. The Parties expressly agree that the legal relations between them shall be governed by the Convention and the laws of the Czech Republic.

11.6.

12.4. The Parties shall communicate in particular by e-mail messages. If the Parties submit each other communication in paper form, they shall do so at the addresses indicated in public or publicly accessible registers. If more than one address is listed in the registers, it is understood that a party may serve service at any of the addresses listed.

12.5. By entering into the Purchase Agreement, the Buyer grants the Seller the right to use the ordered products, the name and logo of the Buyer for promotional purposes of the Seller. These promotional purposes mean publishing photos and videos on the Website, on social media and in the Seller's corporate printed materials, providing reference samples to third parties, using the Buyer's company, business name, name or title as a reference in the Seller's business negotiations and in all types of the Seller's promotional materials.

12.6. The Buyer further agrees to the Seller to retain several pieces of sample goods for the purpose of possible re-execution of the order, for the purpose of any complaint procedure or for presentation purposes, where these pieces are not charged to the Buyer by the Seller.
