Article 16(c) of Directive 2011/83/EU prohibits national legislation from granting consumers the right to withdraw from a contract involving the delivery of goods produced according to the consumer's specifications or clearly personalized.
12.2. Standard Products (Non-Personalized)
A buyer/consumer who has concluded a sales contract may withdraw from it within 14 days without giving any reason, counting from the moment the product is taken into possession by the buyer or a third party indicated by the buyer, other than the carrier.
The buyer may withdraw from the sales contract by submitting a statement of withdrawal to the seller. To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient to send the statement before the deadline expires.
The statement of withdrawal may be made using a form, the template of which is available on the store's website: WITHDRAWAL FROM CONTRACT FORM.
The statement of withdrawal should be submitted to the seller via email at: support@sztukakrzyzowa.com.
In the event of withdrawal from the contract, the seller will refund all payments received from the buyer, including the costs of delivering the product, except for additional costs resulting from the buyer's choice of a delivery method other than the cheapest standard delivery method offered by the seller.

§ 5 Warranty
1. The Seller is obligated to deliver products free from defects. The Seller is liable for physical or legal defects in the product. A physical defect is defined as non-compliance of the product with the contract. In particular, the sold item (product) is considered non-compliant with the contract if:
a) it lacks the properties that an item of that kind should possess based on the purpose specified in the contract or arising from circumstances or intended use;
b) it lacks the properties assured by the store, including those presented in a sample or model;
c) it is unsuitable for the purpose specified by the customer at the time of contract conclusion, and the store did not raise any objections to such intended use;
d) it was delivered to the customer in an incomplete state.
2. If a product has a defect, the buyer may file a complaint by sending it to:
Address: ul. Związkowa 35/3, 04-522 Warsaw
Email: support@sztukakrzyzowa.com
3. Regarding a complaint about physical or legal defects in the product, the customer, acting as a consumer, has the right to submit a declaration for a price reduction or to withdraw from the contract unless the store immediately and without undue inconvenience to the customer replaces the defective product with one free from defects or removes the defect. This restriction does not apply if the product has already been replaced or repaired by the store, or if the store has not fulfilled its obligation to replace the defective product or remove the defect. The consumer may, instead of defect removal proposed by the store, request a replacement of the product with one free from defects, or instead of a replacement, request defect removal, unless making the product compliant with the contract in the way chosen by the customer is impossible or would involve excessive costs compared to the method proposed by the store. When assessing the excessiveness of costs, the value of the defect-free product, the type and significance of the defect, and the inconvenience to the customer resulting from other means of satisfaction are considered.
4. The reduced price should correspond proportionally to the value of the defective product compared to the value of a defect-free product.
5. The customer cannot withdraw from the contract if the defect is insignificant.
6. Complaints will be reviewed within 14 days from the date of receipt by the store. If no statement is provided within this period, the claims submitted by the customer are considered accepted.
7. The customer will be informed about the resolution of the complaint via the same method used to submit the complaint unless the customer specifies a different form of communication. The resolution will also be sent electronically to the email address provided by the customer.
8. A complaint declaration can be submitted using the form available on the store’s website: COMPLAINT FORM. Submitting a complaint using this form is optional.
9. When filing a complaint, please provide the following details: the customer’s full name, address, information allowing the identification of the purchase (e.g., login, order number, transaction date), the subject and reason for the complaint, and the customer’s contact details.
10. The provisions concerning warranty rights and the right to file complaints available to consumers also apply to entrepreneurs with consumer rights.
11. An entrepreneur with consumer rights is a natural person entering into a contract directly related to their business activity, where the content of the contract indicates that it is not of a professional nature, particularly based on the scope of their business activity as disclosed in the Central Register and Information on Economic Activity.
12. In the case of a positive resolution of the complaint, the store will send the customer a defect-free product or a product with the defect removed within a reasonable time. If repair or replacement of the product with a new one is not possible for the reasons mentioned above, the store, according to the alternative request submitted by the customer, will reduce the price or refund the value of the product, including the shipping costs.
13. Detailed information on the possibility of consumers using out-of-court complaint resolution methods and pursuing claims, as well as the rules for accessing these procedures, are available on the website of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection at: https://uokik.gov.pl/pozasadowe_rozwiazywanie_sporow_konsumenckich.php.
