Shop is to fulfil orders. The basis for processing personal data in this case is:
a contract or actions taken at the request of the Buyer in order to conclude the contract (point (b) of
Article 6(1) of the GDPR),
the Seller’s legal obligation related to accounting (point (c) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR), and
the Seller’s legitimate interest consisting in processing data in order to determine, exercise or defend
any possible claims (point (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR).
3. The provision of data by the Buyer is voluntary, but at the same time necessary to conclude the contract.
Failure to provide such data will make it impossible to conclude the contract in the Shop.

a. the contract concluded by and between the Buyer and the Seller expires;

on the legitimate interest of the Seller
– depending on what is applicable in a given case and what happens latest.

a. access to his/her personal data,
b. their rectification,
c. their deletion,
d. restriction of processing,
e. transfer of data to another controller
and the right to:
f. object to processing of data at any time on grounds relating to a specific situation of the Buyer – to
processing of personal data concerning the data subject, based on point (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR
(i.e. on legitimate interests pursued by the Seller).

authority competent for personal data protection.
Section 11 RESTRICTIONS

Terms and Conditions. The contract is concluded for the time and for the purpose of order fulfilment.
3. All contracts concluded under these Terms and Conditions are subject to the provisions of Polish law, subject
to paragraph 4.
4. The choice of Polish law as governing law for contracts concluded with Consumers under the Terms and
Conditions does not revoke or limit the rights of Consumers which they can exercise pursuant to the
applicable mandatory provisions of law, applicable to the Consumer in cases where the choice of law does
not take place, pursuant to Regulation (EC) of the European Parliament and of the Council No 593/2008 of 17
June 2008 on the law applicable to contractual obligations (Rome I). This means in particular that if national
provisions applicable to a certain Consumer provide for wider protection than that resulting from these
Terms and Conditions or the Polish law – this wider protection shall be applied.

6. No regulation of the present Terms and Conditions waives or restricts in any way the applicable Consumer
rights imposed by the provisions of law.

Consumer and has the same rights as Consumers, when the content of such contract implies it is not of
professional nature for this person. The previous sentence does not apply to the provisions specified in
section 9, in the sub-section “Out-of-court complaint and redress mechanism”, and the provisions of
paragraph 4.
