All information about the processing of your personal data is contained in the Personal Data Processing Policy, which can be found here.
The provisions of these Terms are an integral part of the Contract. The Contract and the Terms and Conditions are in the Czech language. We may unilaterally amend or supplement the Terms and Conditions. This provision does not affect any rights and obligations arising during the period of effectiveness of the previous version of the Conditions.
As you know, we primarily communicate remotely. Therefore, our Contract is also subject to the use of means of distance communication that allow us to agree with each other without the simultaneous physical presence of Us and You, and the Contract is thus concluded remotely in the E-shop environment, through the interface of the website (“E-shop web interface”).
If any part of the Terms contradicts what We have mutually agreed as part of the process of Your purchase on Our E-Shop, that particular agreement will prevail over the Terms.
SOME DEFINITIONS

Shipping Price is the amount of money you will pay for the delivery of the Goods, including the cost of packing them.
Total Price is the sum of the Price and the Shipping Charge.

Order means your irrevocable proposal to enter into a Contract for the purchase of Goods with us.
User Account means an account set up on the basis of the data provided by you, which allows the storage of the data entered and the storage of the history of Goods ordered and Contracts concluded.
You are the person shopping on our E-shop, legally referred to as the buyer.
Goods are anything you can purchase on the E-shop.
General provisions and instructions
The purchase of Goods is only possible through the web interface of the E-shop.
When purchasing Goods, it is your obligation to provide us with all information correctly and truthfully. We will therefore consider the information you have provided to us when ordering the Goods to be correct and true.
CONCLUSION OF THE CONTRACT
The contract with us can only be concluded in the Czech language.
The contract is concluded remotely via the E-shop, with the costs of using remote means of communication being borne by you. However, these costs do not differ in any way from the basic rate you pay for the use of these means (i.e. in particular for access to the Internet), so you do not have to expect any additional costs charged by us beyond the Total Price. By submitting an order, you agree to our use of remote communication facilities.
In order for us to enter into the contract, you must create a draft order on the E-Shop. This proposal must include the following information:
– Information about the goods you are purchasing (on the E-shop, you mark the goods you are interested in purchasing with the “Add to Cart” button).
– Information about the price, shipping charge, method of payment of the Total Price, and the desired method of delivery of the goods. This information will be entered as part of the creation of the order proposal within the user interface of the E-shop, whereby the information about the price, shipping charge, and Total Price will be provided automatically based on the goods you have selected and their delivery method.
– Your identification and contact details used to enable us to deliver the goods, in particular your name, surname, delivery address, telephone number, and email address.
– In the case of a contract under which we will deliver the goods to you on a regular and recurring basis, also how long we will deliver the goods to you.
During the process of drafting the order, you may change and check the information until the order is created. After checking by pressing the “Order” button, you will create the order. Before pressing the button, however, you must confirm that you have read and agreed to these terms, otherwise, you will not be able to create the order. The check box is used to confirm and agree. After pressing the “Order” button, all completed information will be sent directly to us.
We will confirm your order as soon as possible after it is delivered to us by a message sent to your e-mail address entered in the order. The confirmation will include a summary of the order and these terms and conditions. Confirmation of the order by us shall constitute the conclusion of the contract between us and you. The terms as in force on the date of the order form an integral part of the contract.
There may be occasions when we are unable to confirm an order to you. This includes situations where the goods are not available or where you order more goods than we are able to supply. However, we will always provide you with information about the maximum number of goods in advance within the E-shop and it should not come as a surprise to you. In the event that there is any reason why we cannot confirm an order, we will contact you and send you an offer to enter into a contract in a form amended from the order. In such a case, the contract will be concluded at the time you confirm our offer.
In the event that a manifestly incorrect price is quoted within the E-shop or in the order proposal, we shall not be obliged to supply the goods to you at that price even if you have received confirmation of the order and therefore the contract has been concluded. In such a situation, we will contact you immediately and send you an offer to enter into a new contract in an amended form compared to the order. The new contract is then concluded when you confirm our offer. In the event that you do not confirm our offer even within 3 days of sending it, we shall be entitled to withdraw from the concluded contract. An obvious error in the price is considered to be, for example, a situation where the price does not correspond to the usual price at other retailers or a missing or missing digit.
In the event that the contract is concluded, you are obliged to pay the Total Price.
If you have set up a user account, you may place an order through it. However, even in this case, you are obliged to check the accuracy, truthfulness, and completeness of the pre-filled data. However, the method of creating an order is the same as in the case of a buyer without a user account, but the advantage is that it is not necessary to fill in your identification data repeatedly.
In some cases, we allow you to take advantage of a discount on the purchase of goods. In order for the discount to be granted, you must fill in the details of the discount in the pre-designated field within the order proposal. If you do so, the goods will be provided to you at a discount.
PRICE AND PAYMENT TERMS, RESERVATION OF TITLE
The price is always stated in the E-shop, in the Order proposal, and of course in the Contract. In the event of a discrepancy between the Price stated for the Goods within the E-shop and the Price stated in the Order Proposal, the Price stated in the Order Proposal shall apply and shall always be the same as the price in the Contract. Within the Order proposal, the Price for shipping is also indicated, or the conditions under which shipping is free of charge.
The total price includes VAT and any charges provided for by law.
Payment of the Total Price will be required from you after the conclusion of the Contract and before delivery of the Goods. You may pay the Total Price in the following ways:
By bank transfer. We will send you the information for making the payment within the Order confirmation. In the case of payment by bank transfer, the Total Price is payable by [TO BE ADDED]
Cash on collection in person. Cash can be paid for the Goods in case of collection at the indicated locations. In the case of payment in cash on collection in person, the Total Price is payable upon receipt of the Goods.
An invoice will be issued electronically upon payment of the Total Price and will be sent to your email address. The invoice will also be physically attached to the Goods.
Title to the Goods will only pass to you once you have paid the Total Price and taken possession of the Goods. In the case of payment by bank transfer, the Total Price is paid by crediting Our account; otherwise, it is paid at the time of payment.
DELIVERY OF THE GOODS, TRANSFER OF RISK OF DAMAGE TO THE GOODS
The Goods will be delivered to you by the method of your choice, whereby you may choose from the following options:
Personal collection at the indicated locations;
Personal collection at the delivery points of the company: Mail order, PPL, DHL, etc.,
Delivery via Czech Post, DHL, PPL, etc;
Goods can be delivered within the Czech Republic and the European Union. We can also send goods to other countries by agreement.
The delivery time of the Goods always depends on their availability and the chosen method of delivery and payment. The estimated delivery time of the Goods will be communicated to you in the Order confirmation. The time indicated on the E-shop is indicative only and may differ from the actual delivery time. In the case of personal collection at our premises, we will always inform you of the possibility of collecting the Goods by email.
Upon receipt of the Goods from the carrier, it is your obligation to check the integrity of the packaging of the Goods and, in the event of any defects, to notify the carrier and us immediately. In the event that there is any defect in the packaging which is indicative of tampering and entry into the shipment, it is not your responsibility to accept the Goods from the Carrier.
In the event that you breach your obligation to accept the Goods, except in accordance with clause 6.4 of the Conditions, this shall not result in a breach of our obligation to deliver the Goods to you. At the same time, your failure to accept the Goods shall not constitute a repudiation of the Contract between us and you. However, in such a case, we shall have the right to withdraw from the Contract on the grounds of your material breach of the Contract. If we decide to exercise this right, the withdrawal is effective on the date we deliver the withdrawal to you. Withdrawal from the Contract shall not affect any claim for payment of the Shipping Price or any claim for damages, if any.
If, for reasons attributable to you, the Goods are redelivered or delivered in a different manner than agreed in the Contract, it is your responsibility to reimburse us for the costs of such redelivery. Payment details for payment of these costs will be sent to your email address set out in the Contract and are payable 14 days from receipt of the email.
The risk of damage to the Goods shall pass to you when you take delivery of the Goods. In the event that you do not take delivery of the Goods, except in accordance with clause 6.4 of the Conditions, the risk of damage to the Goods shall pass to you at the time when you had the opportunity to take delivery of the Goods but for reasons beyond your control did not take delivery. The transfer of the risk of damage to the Goods means that from that moment on, you bear all consequences related to the loss, destruction, damage, or any deterioration of the Goods.
In the event that the Goods have not been listed as in stock in the E-shop and an indicative period of availability has been given, we will always inform you in the event:
an extraordinary failure in the production of the Goods, and we will always provide you with a new expected period of availability or information that the Goods cannot be delivered;
a delay in the delivery of the Goods from our Supplier and We will always tell You the new expected delivery time.
In the event that We are unable to deliver the Goods to You even within 30 days of the expiry of the delivery time specified in the Order Confirmation, for whatever reason, We and You shall be entitled to withdraw from the Contract.
RIGHTS ARISING FROM DEFECTIVE PERFORMANCE
We guarantee that at the time the risk of damage to the Goods passes, as stated in Article 6.7 of the Conditions, the Goods are free from defects. Specifically, this means that:
– The Goods have the characteristics that we have agreed upon with you. If there is no explicit agreement, then the Goods have the characteristics stated in the description or those that can be expected based on the nature of the Goods.
– The Goods are suitable for the purposes we have stated or for the purposes that are typical for Goods of that type.
– The Goods correspond to the quality or workmanship of the agreed sample, if the quality or workmanship has been determined based on a sample.
– The Goods have the appropriate quantity and weight.
– The Goods meet the requirements imposed on them by law.
– The Goods are not encumbered by third party rights.
The rights and obligations regarding rights arising from defective performance are governed by the relevant legal provisions (in particular Sections 1914 to 1925, 2099 to 2117, and 2161 to 2174 of the Civil Code, and Act No. 634/1992 Coll., on Consumer Protection, as amended).
Goods are defective, meaning that any of the conditions stated in Article 7.1 are not fulfilled, you may notify us of the defect and exercise your rights arising from the defective performance (i.e. claim the Goods) by sending an e-mail or letter to the addresses provided in our identification data. You may also use the sample form attached as Appendix 1 to the Terms and Conditions for making a claim. When exercising the right of defective performance, you must choose how you wish to resolve the defect, and you cannot subsequently change this choice without our consent, except as stated in clause 7.4. We will settle the claim in accordance with the defective performance right that you have exercised. Even in situations where the defective performance was a material breach of the Contract, if you do not choose to resolve the defect, you shall have the rights set out in clause 7.5.
If the defective performance is a material breach of the Contract, you have the following rights:
– to remedy the defect by supplying new Goods without defects or by supplying the missing part of the Goods;
– to remedy the defect by repairing the Goods;
– a reasonable discount on the Price;
– to withdraw from the Contract.
If you choose to resolve the defect under (a) or (b) above and we do not remedy the defect in this way within a reasonable period of time that we have specified or we tell you that we will not remedy the defect in this way at all, you have rights under (c) and (d) above even if you did not originally request them as part of the claim. At the same time, if you choose to remedy the defect by repairing the Goods and we find that the defect is irreparable, we will notify you and you may choose another method of remedying the defect.
If the defective performance is a non-substantial breach of the Contract, you have the following rights:
– to remedy the defect by supplying new Goods without the defect or by supplying the missing part of the Goods;
– to remedy the defect by repairing the Goods;
– a reasonable discount on the Price.
However, if we do not remove the defect in time or refuse to remove the defect, you have the right to withdraw from the Contract. You may also withdraw if you cannot use the Goods properly due to the recurrence of defects after the Goods have been repaired or if there are multiple defects in the Goods.
In the event of a material or immaterial breach, you may not withdraw from the Contract or require delivery of a new item unless you can return the Goods in the condition in which you received them. This does not apply in the following cases:
– if the condition of the Goods has changed as a result of an inspection to detect a defect;
– if the Goods were used before the defect was discovered;
– if the impossibility of returning the Goods in their unaltered condition was not caused by your act or omission;
– if the Goods have been sold, consumed, or altered by you in normal use before the discovery of the defect; however, if this has only partially occurred, it is your responsibility to return the part of the Goods that can be returned, in which case you will not be refunded the part of the Prices corresponding to your benefit from the use of the part of the Goods.
Within 3 days of receipt of a claim, we will confirm to you by email that we have received the claim, when we received it, and the estimated time it will take to resolve the claim. We will deal with the complaint without undue delay, but no later than 30 days from receipt. The time limit may be extended by mutual agreement between us. If the time limit expires in vain, you may withdraw from the Contract.
We will inform you of the settlement of the complaint by e-mail. If the complaint is justified, you will be entitled to reimbursement of the costs reasonably incurred. You are obliged to prove these costs, e.g. by receipts or shipping receipts. In the event that the defect has been rectified by the delivery of new Goods, it is your responsibility to return the original Goods to us, but we shall bear the cost of such return.
In the event that you are a business, it is your obligation to notify and complain about the defect without undue delay after you may have discovered it, but no later than three days after receipt of the Goods.
If you are a consumer, you have the right to exercise your rights under the defective performance for a defect that occurs in consumer Goods within 24 months of receipt of the Goods.
The provisions regarding the right to defect do not apply in the following cases:
– Goods that are sold at a lower price due to the defect for which the lower price was agreed upon.
– Wear and tear of the Goods caused by their normal use.
– Used Goods for a defect corresponding to the level of use or wear and tear the Goods had when you received them.
– Cases where the nature of the Goods requires it.
Withdrawal from the contract
Withdrawal from the Contract, which means terminating the contractual relationship between Us and You from the beginning, may occur for the reasons and in the ways specified in this Article or in other provisions of the Conditions where the possibility of withdrawal is explicitly mentioned.
If you are a consumer, meaning a person purchasing the Goods outside the scope of your business activity, you have the right to withdraw from the Contract without stating any reason within 14 days from the date of delivery of the Goods in accordance with the provisions of §1829 of the Civil Code. If we have concluded a Contract that includes several types of Goods or the delivery of several parts of the Goods, this period starts on the date of delivery of the last part of the Goods. If we have concluded a Contract based on which we will deliver the Goods to you regularly and repeatedly, this period starts on the date of delivery of the first delivery. You can withdraw from the Contract by any demonstrable means (such as sending an email or letter to Our address as specified in Our identification details). You can also use the sample form provided by Us for withdrawal, which is attached as Appendix 2 to the Terms and Conditions.
However, even as a consumer, you cannot withdraw from the Contract in cases where the subject matter of the Contract is:
Goods whose price depends on financial market fluctuations independent of Our will and may occur during the withdrawal period.
Delivery of alcoholic beverages, which may not be made until thirty days have passed and the price of which is subject to financial market fluctuations beyond our control;
Customized goods or goods made specifically for you;
Perishable goods; and goods that have been irreversibly mixed with another after delivery;
Sealed goods that have been opened and cannot be returned for hygiene reasons;
Delivery of damaged audio or visual recordings or computer programs;
Delivery of newspapers, magazines, or periodicals;
Supply of digital content unless it has been provided on a tangible medium and you have given your prior express consent before the withdrawal period expires, and we have informed you that you have no right to withdraw from the contract.
If you notify us of your withdrawal from the contract during the withdrawal period specified in clause 8.2 of the Terms and Conditions, it will be considered as observed.
If you withdraw from the contract, the price will be refunded to you within 14 days from the effective date of withdrawal, to the account from which it was originally credited or to the account you selected for withdrawal from the contract. However, the refund will not be issued until you have returned the goods to us or provided proof that they have been sent back to us. Please return the goods to us in a clean condition, including the original packaging if possible.
If you cancel the contract according to clause 8.2 of the Conditions, you must return the goods to us within 14 days of cancellation and bear the cost of returning the goods to us. You are entitled to a refund of the shipping charge by us, but only in an amount equivalent to the cheapest delivery method offered by us for the goods. If the cancellation is due to a breach of the contract by us, we will also cover the costs of returning the goods to us, but only up to the amount of the shipping charge corresponding to the cheapest delivery method offered by us for the goods.
You will be responsible for any damages to the Goods that occur as a result of mishandling them in a manner that is not necessary given their nature and characteristics. In such cases, we will send you an invoice for the damages once the Goods have been returned to us, and payment will be due within 14 days. If we have not yet refunded the Price to you, we have the right to offset the cost of the damages against your claim for reimbursement of the Price.
We have the right to cancel the Contract at any time before delivering the Goods to you if there are objective reasons why the Goods cannot be delivered, such as reasons on the part of third parties or reasons related to the nature of the Goods. This right to cancel applies even before the expiration of the period specified in clause 6.9 of the Conditions. We may also cancel the Contract if it is evident that you have intentionally provided incorrect information in your Order. If you are purchasing goods for business purposes, we have the right to cancel the Contract at any time, without providing a reason.
Resolution of disputes with consumers
We are not bound by any codes of conduct regarding purchasers as defined in Section 1826 (1) (e) of the Civil Code.
We handle consumer complaints through the email address britphotoart@gmail.com. We will send information about the complaint resolution process to the buyer’s email address.
The Czech Trade Inspection Authority, located at Štěpánská 567/15, 120 00 Prague 2, ID No.: 000 20 869, website: https://www.coi.cz, is responsible for out-of-court settlement of consumer disputes arising from the Contract. The online dispute resolution platform available at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr can be used to resolve disputes between the seller and the buyer, who is a consumer, for a purchase contract concluded electronically.
The European Consumer Centre Czech Republic, located at Štěpánská 567/15, 120 00 Prague 2, website: https://www.evropskyspotrebitel.cz, serves as the contact point under Regulation (EU) No 524/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 May 2013 on online dispute resolution for consumer disputes and amending Regulation (EC) No 2006/2004 and Directive 2009/22/EC (Regulation on online dispute resolution for consumer disputes).
Final provisions
If our legal relationship with you includes an international element (for example, if we will ship goods outside of the Czech Republic), the relationship will always be governed by the law of the Czech Republic. However, if you are a consumer, your rights under the law are not affected by this agreement.
All written correspondence with you will be delivered via electronic mail. Our email address is provided next to our identification details. We will deliver correspondence to your email address as stated in the Agreement, in your User Account, or through which you have contacted us.
The Agreement may only be amended by written agreement between us. However, we may amend these Terms, but such amendments will not affect Contracts that have already been entered into, but only Contracts entered into after the effective date of the amendment. However, we will only inform you of the change if you have created a User Account (so that you have this information in case you order new Goods, but the change does not give rise to a right of termination as we do not have a Contract that can be terminated) or if we are to supply you with Goods on a regular and recurring basis under the Contract. We will send you information about the change to your email address at least 14 days before the change takes effect. If we do not receive notice from you within 14 days of sending you information about the change, the new terms will become part of our Contract and will apply to the next supply of Goods after the change takes effect. The notice period in the event that you give notice is 2 months.
In the event of force majeure or events that cannot be foreseen (natural disaster, pandemic, operational failures, subcontractor failures, etc.), we shall not be liable for damages caused as a result of or in connection with the force majeure event. If the force majeure condition continues for more than 10 days, we and you shall have the right to withdraw from the Contract.
A sample claim form and a sample withdrawal form are attached to the Terms and Conditions.
The Contract, including the Conditions, is archived electronically with us but is not accessible to you. However, you will always receive these Conditions and an Order Confirmation with a summary of the Order by email, and you will therefore always have access to the Contract without our involvement. We recommend that you always save the Order Confirmation and the Conditions.
These Terms will take effect on 15.06.2024.
