  5. If the product is not in conformity with the sales agreement, the customer is entitled to request its repair or replacement with a new one.

  9. When assessing the excessive costs for the seller, all circumstances related to the specific case are taken into account, in particular the significance of the non-conformity of the product or digital content with the agreement, their value in the case of conformity with the agreement, and excessive inconveniences in the case of changing the method of bringing the product or digital content into conformity with the agreement.
  10. Repair, replacement of the product, or bringing digital content into conformity with the agreement is carried out by the seller in a reasonable time, counting from the moment when the seller received information from the customer about the lack of conformity of the product or digital content with the agreement, as well as without excessive inconveniences for the customer, taking into account their specificity, nature, and purpose of use.

  12. The amount of the reduced price must be proportional to the difference between the product or digital content in conformity with the agreement and the value of the product or digital content not in conformity with the agreement.

  2. The platform allows customers to place orders 24 hours a day.
  3. The platform provides prices in Polish zlotys or in another currency, which are gross prices including VAT.
  4. When the customer places an order and expresses the will to conclude a sales agreement, the platform informs them about the price for the product and the cost of delivery (including fees for transport, delivery, and postal services). The customer must pay this amount as the final payment.
  5. To place an order, the buyer must perform the following actions, some of which may be repeated: a) Use the seller’s landing page for the product, where there is a link to the platform where the seller offers products and digital content. b) After redirecting to the platform, add the product to the cart, select the delivery method, choose the payment type, and place an order in the store by clicking the “Order and Pay” button.
  6. Before placing an order, the seller will inform the customer about their data, the total price for all products specified in the order, and their delivery, as well as any other costs associated with the sales agreement.
  7. Placing an order in accordance with paragraphs 5 and 6 above constitutes an invitation by the customer to the seller to conclude a sales agreement for the products specified in the order.
  8. Upon placing the order, the seller will send an email to the customer at the provided email address to confirm receipt of the order. The conclusion of the agreement with the customer occurs upon the confirmation of the order receipt by the seller.
  9. Once the amount indicated in the order confirmation is credited to the seller’s account or a positive authorization for card payments is obtained, the seller immediately executes the order, unless the customer informs them about their inability to fulfill the performance due to reasons beyond their control.
  10. After the customer’s payment is credited, the seller will process the order for pre-sales of the product within the deadlines specified in the product information available on the platform and the seller’s landing page.
  11. Customers may be offered products and digital content in the form of pre-sales. The seller will inform customers on the dedicated landing page and provide the delivery date for the product and digital content if it is offered for pre-sale. In the event of changes to the delivery dates of the product, the seller will inform the customer each time and provide a new expected delivery date.
  12. The customer must pay for orders placed in pre-sales according to Paragraph 10 above. Orders not paid within 7 days from the date of their placement will be subject to cancellation.

  2. In the case of the customer choosing electronic payments or credit card payments, the customer is obliged to make the payment within 48 hours from the moment of concluding the sales agreement. Failure to make the payment, despite the expiration of the deadline, constitutes grounds for terminating the sales agreement. The customer may also cancel the order within the specified period without consequences.
  3. If the customer does not make the payment within the specified period mentioned in point 2 above, we will inform them about the cancellation of the order through an email sent to the email address provided in the order. The delivery of products, including vinyl records and USB memory drives, is carried out by the seller within Poland and abroad through courier services selected by the customer in the order form. Customers may choose different options for delivery, which can affect the method and timing of the shipment.
  4. The customer must inspect the delivered package upon receiving the shipment. In case of damage or loss to the shipment, the customer is entitled to request that the courier prepare an appropriate protocol.

The customer will receive the email on the same day the shipment containing the vinyl record is dispatched—in the case of purchasing a package including both the product and digital content—or—in the case of choosing only digital content—on the day of issuing the record. The NFT digital record is considered delivered when it has been made accessible to the customer in a way that allows downloading it from the seller’s server.
  5. If the seller does not deliver the NFT digital record within the deadlines specified in paragraph 4 above, the customer urges the seller for its immediate delivery. If the seller still does not deliver the NFT digital record despite the customer’s request, the customer may withdraw from the agreement for the delivery of digital content.

The presumption mentioned in point 3 above does not apply if: a) the technical environment used by the Customer for Digital Content is not in line with the technical requirements that the Seller informed about before concluding the Sales Agreement for Digital Content, b) the Customer did not check whether the lack of conformity of the Digital Content with the agreement results from the characteristics of the Customer’s digital environment, despite receiving clear and understandable information from the Seller before concluding the agreement about the need to cooperate with the Seller to check whether the lack of conformity of the Digital Content delivered to the Customer results from the characteristics of that environment.
  5. If the product is not in conformity with the sales agreement, the customer is entitled to request its repair or replacement with a new one.

  9. When assessing the excessive costs for the seller, all circumstances related to the specific case are taken into account, in particular the significance of the non-conformity of the product or digital content with the agreement, their value in the case of conformity with the agreement, and excessive inconveniences in the case of changing the method of bringing the product or digital content into conformity with the agreement.
  10. Repair, replacement of the product, or bringing digital content into conformity with the agreement is carried out by the seller in a reasonable time, counting from the moment when the seller received information from the customer about the lack of conformity of the product or digital content with the agreement, as well as without excessive inconveniences for the customer, taking into account their specificity, nature, and purpose of use. The costs of replacement or bringing digital content into conformity with the agreement are borne by the seller.

  12. The amount of the reduced price must be proportional to the difference between the product or digital content in conformity with the agreement and the value of the product or digital content not in conformity with the agreement.
