Conclusion of the Sales Agreement
- Information about the Goods posted on the Store's pages (in particular descriptions, technical and functional parameters and prices) does not constitute an offer within the meaning of the Civil Code, but an invitation to submit offers to conclude a sales agreement within the meaning of Article 71 of the Civil Code.
- All Goods available in the Online Store are brand new, free from physical and legal defects and have been lawfully placed on the Polish market. Food and care products for dogs and cats are authorised for sale in Poland and the EU and have all the characteristics required by law.
- Prices shown in the Store are gross prices (including VAT). Product prices, including promotional prices, apply to sales with delivery within Poland. For orders with delivery outside Poland, prices may change depending on the VAT rate applicable in the country of delivery.
- The Seller states that the total value of the order consists of the price of the Goods and – where applicable – the delivery costs shown in the Store.
- The selected Goods should be added to the basket in the Store.
- The Buyer then selects the delivery method and payment method from the options available in the Store and provides the data necessary to fulfil the order.
- The order is placed when the Buyer confirms that they have read the Terms and Conditions and accepts their content.
- Placing an order means that the Buyer submits to the Seller an offer to conclude a sales agreement for the Goods covered by the order and, until the order is paid for, does not constitute a reservation of stock of the selected products.
- The sales agreement is concluded after verification that the order has been paid for and can be accepted for fulfilment, and after acceptance of the Buyer's offer, which takes place by sending a separate e-mail confirming acceptance of the order for fulfilment. The sales agreement is concluded when the Buyer receives this message.
- The Seller will provide the Buyer with confirmation of the conclusion of the sales agreement no later than at the time of delivery of the Goods. Further information, including about the preparation of the goods for shipment, their dispatch, readiness for collection and collection, may be sent to the Customer's e-mail address.
- In the Online Store, the Customer may also place an Order without having an Account. In this case, when placing the Order, the Customer must provide: first name, surname, an active GSM mobile telephone number assigned by a telecommunications operator, an e-mail address, and confirm that they have read the Terms and Conditions by ticking the appropriate box.
- To place an Order, the Customer selects the Products to be placed in the basket in accordance with the instructions in the Online Store. When putting the Order together, the Customer is informed of the Price of the Products selected. After selecting the Products, the Customer should choose the "Proceed to checkout" option and provide: the delivery address (postcode, town, street, house number, flat number); the date and time of delivery (from among the days and times indicated in the Online Store); and choose the form of payment.
- The Seller conducts only retail sales in the Online Store. Placing an Order does not depend on reaching a minimum Order value, and the Buyer may also purchase a single Product. Unless otherwise expressly indicated for a given Product, the Seller does not set a maximum number of Products in a single Order or a maximum weight of an Order. In the event of an obvious technical, system or calculation error or a mistake regarding the price, discount, promotion conditions or rules for combining promotions, resulting in particular from a failure of the Online Store, incorrect operation of the ICT system or unintended accumulation of discount mechanisms, the Seller reserves the right to appropriately correct the terms of the Order after informing the Buyer in advance.
- If payment for the order is not received within 7 days of placing it, the Store is entitled to withdraw from the sales agreement and cancel the order. Payment is deemed to have been made when the funds are credited to the Store's bank account or to a sub-account maintained by the Przelewy24 or InPostPay payment platform. After the payment deadline has expired without effect, the Seller will provide the Buyer, on a durable medium, with a declaration of withdrawal from the agreement pursuant to Article 492 of the Civil Code.
- The content and graphic materials posted on the Store's website are the legally protected property of the Seller and may not be used in any way by third parties without the Seller's consent.
- The sales agreement is concluded in Polish, and its content complies with the Terms and Conditions.
- The Customer is obliged to provide the correct delivery address to which the Products are to be delivered. If the Customer provides an incorrect delivery address, the Seller is not liable for any delay in, or impossibility of, delivering the Goods covered by the Order. If the Customer provides an incorrect delivery address, the Sales Agreement is terminated, without the need to make any additional declaration, for reasons attributable to the Customer.
- The Seller, after notifying the Customer in advance, reserves the right to unilaterally cancel an Order placed by the Customer in the following cases:
- Duplicate Order: if two identical Orders appear in the Customer's Account, the Seller contacts the Customer by telephone to make sure that a mistake has been made. If the Customer confirms this, or if the Seller receives no response from the Customer after 2 (two) attempts to make telephone contact, one of the Orders is cancelled;
- Circumstances beyond the Seller's control: if circumstances beyond the Seller's control affect the fulfilment of the Order, the Seller contacts the Customer by telephone, informs them of the situation and proposes delivery of the Order at a later date. If the Customer does not agree, the Order is cancelled.
- In the cases indicated above, the Seller will inform the Customer that the Order has been cancelled and will refund to the Customer all amounts received in connection with the cancelled Order (the total Price of the Products and the delivery cost, if any).
- The Seller may update the Prices of the Goods on an ongoing basis and include them in promotions of its choice. Changes to the Prices of the Goods do not affect Orders already placed. The Price of the Goods may depend on promotional campaigns organised by the Seller. The conditions on which promotional campaigns are organised are set out in separate rules.

- in writing to: ul. Braci Saków 5e, 33-100 Tarnów, Poland.
- The complaint should include: the order number, a description of the problem (optionally with photographs), the contact details of the person submitting the complaint and an indication of the preferred way of resolving the matter if the complaint is accepted.
- To submit a complaint, the Customer may also use the complaint form available in the "Returns and complaints" section or prepare their own statement. Using the complaint form available in the "Returns and complaints" section is not obligatory.
- The time limit for responding to the Customer's complaint is:
a. for complaints concerning non-conformity of the goods with the contract / non-conformity of digital content or a digital service with the contract / the statutory warranty – 14 days;
b. for complaints under a guarantee – the detailed time limits and rules are set out in the guarantee card. - The Seller is liable for any non-conformity of the Product with the Sales Agreement that existed at the time of its delivery and became apparent within two years of that time, unless the Product's shelf life specified by the Seller, its legal predecessors or persons acting on their behalf is longer. Any non-conformity of the Product with the Sales Agreement that became apparent within two years of delivery of the Product is presumed to have existed at the time of its delivery, unless proven otherwise or unless this presumption is incompatible with the specific nature of the Product or the nature of the non-conformity.
- The Seller may not rely on the expiry of the period for establishing non-conformity of the Product with the Sales Agreement specified in paragraph 2 above if it fraudulently concealed the non-conformity.
- If the Product does not conform to the Sales Agreement, the Consumer may demand its repair or replacement.
- The Seller may replace the Product when the Customer requests repair, or repair it when the Customer requests replacement, if bringing the Product into conformity with the Sales Agreement in the manner chosen by the Customer is impossible or would involve excessive costs for the Seller. If both repair and replacement are impossible or would involve excessive costs for the Seller, the Seller may refuse to bring the Product into conformity with the Sales Agreement.
- When assessing whether costs are excessive, all circumstances of the case are taken into account, in particular the significance of the non-conformity of the Product with the Sales Agreement, the value of the Product in conformity with the Sales Agreement and the excessive inconvenience to the Consumer resulting from a change in the way the Product is brought into conformity with the Sales Agreement.
- The Seller carries out the repair or replacement within a reasonable time from the moment it was informed by the Customer of the non-conformity with the Sales Agreement and without excessive inconvenience to the Customer, taking into account the specific nature of the Product and the purpose for which the Customer purchased it. The costs of repair or replacement, including in particular postage, transport, labour and material costs, are borne by the Seller.
- The Consumer makes the Product to be repaired or replaced available to the Seller. The Seller collects the Product from the Consumer at its own expense.
- If the Product was installed before the non-conformity with the Sales Agreement became apparent, the Seller dismantles the Product and reinstalls it after the repair or replacement has been carried out, or arranges for these activities to be carried out at its own expense.
- The Consumer is not obliged to pay for normal use of a Product that has subsequently been replaced.
- If the Product does not conform to the Sales Agreement, the Customer may submit a declaration of price reduction or withdrawal from the Sales Agreement when:
- the Seller has refused to bring the Product into conformity with the Sales Agreement;
- the Seller has not brought the Product into conformity with the Sales Agreement;
- the non-conformity of the Product with the Sales Agreement persists even though the Seller has tried to bring the Product into conformity with the Sales Agreement;
- the non-conformity of the Product with the Sales Agreement is so significant that it justifies a price reduction or withdrawal from the Sales Agreement without first using the remedies indicated above;
- it is clear from the Seller's statement or the circumstances that it will not bring the Product into conformity with the Sales Agreement within a reasonable time or without excessive inconvenience to the Customer.
- The reduced price must be in the same proportion to the price under the Sales Agreement as the value of the non-conforming Product is to the value of the Product in conformity with the Sales Agreement.
- The Seller refunds to the Consumer the amounts due as a result of exercising the right to a price reduction without undue delay, no later than 14 (fourteen) days from the date of receipt of the Consumer's declaration of price reduction.
- The Consumer may not withdraw from the Sales Agreement if the non-conformity of the Product with the Sales Agreement is insignificant. The non-conformity of the Product with the Sales Agreement is presumed to be significant.
- If the non-conformity with the Sales Agreement concerns only some of the Products delivered under the Sales Agreement, the Consumer may withdraw from the Sales Agreement only with respect to those Products, and also with respect to other Products purchased by the Consumer together with the non-conforming Products, if the Consumer cannot reasonably be expected to agree to keep only the conforming Products.
- In the event of withdrawal from the Sales Agreement, the Consumer shall return the Product to the Seller without undue delay at the Seller's expense. The Seller shall refund the price to the Consumer without undue delay, no later than 14 (fourteen) days from the date of receipt of the Product or proof of its return.
- The Seller refunds the price using the same means of payment as used by the Consumer, unless the Consumer has expressly agreed to another method of refund which does not involve any costs for them. The refund takes into account all discounts received at the time of purchase.
- Within the scope of liability for non-conformity of the Product with the Sales Agreement, the Seller is not obliged to provide the Customer with replacement goods for the duration of the complaint procedure.
- The Seller is not liable for non-conformity of the Product with the Sales Agreement if, no later than at the time of concluding the Sales Agreement, the Consumer was expressly informed that a specific characteristic of the Product deviates from the requirements of conformity with the Sales Agreement and expressly and separately accepted the absence of that specific characteristic of the Product.
- The Seller's liability under the statutory warranty applies to Entrepreneurs with consumer rights.
- The Seller is liable to Entrepreneurs with consumer rights for defects in goods in accordance with the provisions of the Polish Act of 23 April 1964 – Civil Code, in particular on the basis of Article 556 et seq. of the Civil Code (statutory warranty).
- When filing a complaint about substandard/defective goods under the statutory warranty, Customers may demand:
- repair,
- replacement,
- a price reduction (the reduced price should be in the same proportion to the price under the agreement as the value of the defective item is to the value of the item without defects),
- withdrawal from the agreement, i.e. a cash refund (if the defect is significant).
- The Seller is obliged to replace the defective item with one free from defects or to remove the defect within a reasonable time without excessive inconvenience to the Customer.
- Where replacement of the item with one free from defects or removal of the defect is requested, the Seller may refuse to comply with the Customer's request if bringing the defective item into conformity with the agreement in the manner chosen by the Customer is impossible or, compared with the other possible way of bringing it into conformity with the agreement, would involve excessive costs.
- The Seller may also refuse to replace the item with one free from defects or to remove the defect if the costs of fulfilling this obligation exceed the price of the item sold.
- An Entrepreneur with consumer rights may submit a declaration of price reduction or withdrawal from the agreement, unless the Seller promptly and without excessive inconvenience to the Entrepreneur with consumer rights replaces the defective item with one free from defects or removes the defect. This limitation does not apply if the item has already been replaced or repaired by the seller or if the seller has failed to fulfil the obligation to replace the item with one free from defects or to remove the defect.
- The Seller is liable under the statutory warranty if a physical defect is discovered within two years of the date on which the item was handed over to the Customer.
- A claim for removal of a defect or replacement of the item sold with one free from defects becomes time-barred one year from the date on which the defect was discovered.
- Within the time limits specified in paragraph 32, an Entrepreneur with consumer rights may submit a declaration of withdrawal from the agreement or price reduction on account of a defect in the item sold. If the Entrepreneur with consumer rights requested replacement of the item with one free from defects or removal of the defect, the time limit for submitting a declaration of withdrawal from the agreement or price reduction begins when the time limit for replacing the item or removing the defect has expired without effect.
- To facilitate and speed up the complaint handling process, the Entrepreneur with consumer rights is advised to deliver the defective product to the Seller and to present a document confirming the purchase, e.g. a VAT invoice or card payment confirmation.
- If a guarantee has been granted for a given Product offered in the Online Store, the Seller provides the Customer with a guarantee document together with the Product sold. The guarantee document may be an integral part of the instruction manual or a separate document.
- Complaints under a guarantee may be submitted to the entity that granted the guarantee (the guarantor) or through the Bemo Online Store, within the time limit and on the terms specified in the guarantee document.
- When a defective Product is the subject of a complaint under a guarantee, the guarantor decides how the complaint will be handled.

- electronically to the Seller's e-mail address: reklamacje@bemokarmy.pl,
