General Terms and Customer Information / Model Withdrawal Form / Privacy Policy
I. General Terms
§ 1 Basic Provisions
(1) These general terms and conditions apply to all contracts concluded between you and us as the supplier (4Clients - Patryk Lechowski) through the eBay online platform. Unless otherwise agreed, any terms of your own that you may use are rejected.
(2) For the purposes of the following provisions, a consumer is any natural person who enters into a contract for purposes that predominantly are outside their trade, business, or profession. A businessperson is any natural or legal person or a legally responsible partnership that, when entering into a contract, acts in the exercise of their trade, business, or profession.
§ 2 Conclusion of Contract
(1) The subject matter of the contract is the sale of goods.
(2) If an article is listed by us on eBay, the publication of the offer on the eBay page constitutes a binding offer to conclude a purchase contract under the conditions specified on the article s page.
(3) The conclusion of the contract is subject to the general eBay terms, especially § 6, with a link provided on each eBay page at the bottom. Depending on the offer format, the conclusion of the contract is governed as follows:
§ 6 Offer Formats and Conclusion of Contract
(...)
2. If the seller lists an article in auction or fixed-price format on eBay, they are making a binding offer to conclude a contract for that article. In this case, the seller specifies the starting or fixed price and the period during which the offer may be accepted (duration of the offer). If the seller has set a minimum price in the form of an auction, the offer is subject to the condition that the minimum price is reached.
The seller may also equip auction-format offers with the Buy It Now feature. The buyer can use this feature as long as no bid has been placed on the item or the reserve price has not been reached. eBay reserves the right to change this feature in the future.
(...)
In the case of fixed-price items, the buyer accepts the offer by clicking the Buy Now button and confirming it. For fixed-price items for which the seller has chosen the immediate payment option, the buyer accepts the offer by clicking the Buy Now button and then completing an immediate payment transaction. The buyer can also accept the offer for multiple items by placing them in the cart (if available) and then completing an immediate payment transaction.
In the case of auctions, the buyer accepts the offer by placing a bid. Acceptance is subject to the condition that the buyer is the highest bidder after the offer s duration has ended. The offer expires if another buyer places a higher bid during the offer s duration. (...)
In the event of the seller ending the offer prematurely, a contract is concluded between them and the highest bidder unless the seller had the right to withdraw the offer and cancel current bids.
The buyer may only withdraw a bid in justified cases. After a justified withdrawal of a bid, no contract is concluded between the buyer, who, after the auction ends due to bid withdrawal, becomes the highest bidder again, and the seller.
In some categories, the seller may include a Best Offer feature in their offer. The Best Offer feature allows buyers and sellers to negotiate the price of an item. (...)
If an article is removed from eBay before the offer s duration ends, no effective contract is concluded between the buyer and the seller.
(4) Purchase Using the Buy Now or Bid Function
Clicking the Buy Now or Bid buttons on the article pages does not immediately lead to binding declarations of intent. You also have the option to check your data, correct it, or cancel the purchase using the Back button of your web browser. Once a binding declaration of intent is made, these options cease to exist. The course of the purchase on eBay determines which declaration of intent is binding and what action leads to the conclusion of the contract.
(5) Purchase Using the Shopping Cart (if available)
Clicking the Add to Cart button on the article pages will place the intended purchase items in the shopping cart. Subsequently, the cart will be displayed on the screen, allowing you to review the selected items. Additionally, by using the appropriate button on the navigation bar, you can go to the cart and make changes at any time. Upon entering the Proceed to Checkout page and selecting or entering the delivery address and payment method, all order details will be presented again on the order summary page.
If you choose PayPal as the payment method, you will be redirected to the PayPal login window. After successful authorization in PayPal, you will return to the order summary page on eBay.
Before placing the order, you have the opportunity to review, modify (also using the Back button in the web browser), or cancel the purchase. By clicking the Buy and Pay button, you make a binding declaration of intent, leading to the conclusion of a purchase agreement.
(6) Purchase Using the Best Offer Feature (if available)
In the case of the Best Offer option, you have the opportunity to submit a counteroffer by clicking the Submit Best Offer button on the article page. You can then enter your proposed price, click the Review Best Offer button, and then confirm the submission of the price proposal (binding offer) on the next page. You are bound by this proposal for 2 days. The agreement will be concluded if we accept your price proposal.
(7) Order Fulfillment and the transmission of all contract-related information occur electronically, partially automated, via email. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that the email address provided by you is correct, email reception is technically ensured, and, in particular, is not blocked by spam filters.
§ 3 Right of Retention, Reservation of Ownership
(1) The right of retention can only be applied to claims arising from the same contractual relationship.
(2) The goods remain our property until full payment of the purchase price.
(3) If you are a business entity, the following provisions also apply:
a) We reserve the right to ownership of the goods until full satisfaction of all claims arising from the current contractual relationship. Pledging or transferring ownership before the transfer of ownership of the goods is not permitted.
b) You may resell the goods in the ordinary course of business. In this case, you hereby assign to us all claims arising for you from further resale, with acceptance of the assignment. You are entitled to collect these claims, but we may also collect them ourselves if you fail to meet your payment obligations properly.
c) In the case of combining or mixing the reserved goods with other items, we acquire co-ownership of the newly created object in relation to the invoice value of the reserved goods compared to the other processed items at the time of combination.
d) We undertake to release, upon your request, the security interest to the extent that the value of the security interest exceeds by more than 10%. The choice of the security interest to be released is at our discretion.
§ 4 Warranty
(1) You are entitled to all statutory warranty rights.
(2) If you are a consumer, please promptly inspect the delivered goods for completeness, visible defects, and transport damage upon receipt of the shipment. However, failure to do so will not affect your statutory warranty rights.
(3) If you are a business entity, the following warranty provisions apply:
a) The quality of the delivered item is based solely on our own information and the product description provided by the manufacturer as agreed characteristics of the goods. We do not accept responsibility for public statements, advertisements, or manufacturer declarations regarding the quality of the goods.
b) In the case of defects, we guarantee, at our discretion, either repair or replacement of the goods. In the event of unsuccessful repair or replacement, you have the right to demand a price reduction or withdrawal from the contract. Repair is considered unsuccessful after two unsuccessful attempts, unless nature of the item or defects or circumstances indicate otherwise.
c) The warranty period for defects for business entities is one year from delivery. The above limitation does not apply to claims for damages caused intentionally or through gross negligence, as well as claims for the violation of life, body, or health resulting from defective goods, for which we are liable without limitations.
d) If we are a party to the contract and the contract is concluded as part of our commercial activity, warranty claims of business entities are excluded in the case of damages resulting from the cost of damage to the goods. If you are a business entity, there is an obligation to inspect the goods for conformity with the contract according to § 377 HGB (German Commercial Code), and any potential defects or damages must be reported to us within 7 days of receiving the goods.
§ 5 Choice of Law
(1) German law applies. If you are a consumer, this law applies only if it does not violate the mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which you usually reside (principle of more favorable regulation).
(2) The provisions of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) do not apply.
§ 6 Personal Data Protection
(1) In areas not covered by § 1 para. 3 of these terms and conditions and related customer information, we commit to complying with the applicable regulations on the protection of personal data. Detailed information on the processing of personal data can be found in our Privacy Policy, available on our website.
§ 7 Final Provisions
(1) If any provision of these terms and conditions is invalid, the remaining provisions remain binding. The invalid provision shall be replaced by the applicable legal provisions.
(2) The contract is governed by Polish law, excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).
(3) The place of performance for deliveries and payments is our registered office, unless the contract stipulates otherwise.
(4) If the customer is a business entity, these terms and conditions accompanying the contract constitute the sole provisions between us and the customer. Any oral or written agreements, prior negotiations, contracts, statements, or commitments have not been made or approved.
(5) Information regarding the protection of personal data and other important customer information can be found in our Privacy Policy and on our website.
We appreciate your understanding and invite you to make use of our services.
