ARTICLE 1. GENERAL PROVISIONS

  1. These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter also referred to as “GTC”) govern the rights and obligations of our company as the Seller and you as the Buyer (hereinafter also referred to as the “Customer” or “you”), which arise from the contractual relationship based on the distance selling contract concluded with you (hereinafter also referred to as the “purchase agreement”) by means of our e-shop at www.ruvirex.com (hereinafter also referred to as the “E-SHOP”) and are an integral part thereof.
  2. The Customer of the E-SHOP refers to any legally competent natural person who has expressed interest in purchasing goods at the website https://ruvirex.com/obchod/, and for this purpose has completed and sent an electronic order, thus entering into contractual relationship with the Seller. According to these GTC, the Customer, under certain circumstances, also refers to a third party whom the Buyer designates in the binding order as the person to whom the ordered goods are to be delivered (hereinafter referred to as the “Authorised Person”). Indication of the name, surname and delivery address of the Authorised Person and their contact details in the binding order shall be deemed to be their authorisation to take over the ordered goods.
  3. In case the participant – buyer is a legal person or a person acting within the scope of their business, employment or profession, the contract is not considered a consumer contract and consumer protection is not applied to the Byer in compliance with applicable laws and these terms and conditions. Above all, the buyer, who is not a consumer, is not entitled to withdraw from the contract without stating the reason (Article 10 of these terms and conditions).
  4. By concluding the purchase agreement, the Seller undertakes to deliver the ordered goods to the Buyer under the conditions specified in these GTC and the Buyer undertakes to pay the agreed purchase price for these goods.
  5. The Seller operates all orders independently and does not cooperate with other companies that would execute orders on behalf of the Seller. Any offer from a competing company is considered fraudulent conduct and misuse of the Seller’s goodwill and its domain https://ruvirex.com/obchod/.
  6. The Buyer, as a natural person, is a consumer in accordance with Sec. 52 (4) of the Act No. 40/1964 Coll. of the Civil Code, as amended (“Civil Code”), i.e. the Buyer who does not act within the scope of their business or other entrepreneurial activity during the conclusion and performance of the contract. All relations between the Buyer and the Seller, which are not regulated by these GTC, are therefore governed by the relevant provisions of the Civil Code, Act No. 102/2014 Coll. on Consumer Protection in the Sale of Goods or Provision of Services based on a Distance Contract or Off-Premises Contract and on Amendments and Supplements to some other Acts (“The Act on Consumer Protection in the Sale of Goods or Provision of Services based on a Distance Contract”), No. 250/2007 Coll. on Consumer Protection and on the Amendments to the Act of the Slovak National Council No. 372/1990 Coll. on Offenses, as amended (“Consumer Protection Act”).
  7. These GTC apply in the territory of the Slovak Republic for the purchase of goods ordered via our E-SHOP under the conditions specified in these GTC.
  8. The GTC govern the mutual rights and obligations of the Seller and the Buyer (hereinafter also collectively referred to as the “Contracting Parties”), which arose in connection with, or on the basis of the purchase agreement to the extent that the parties have not deviated from them. It is possible to deviate from these GTC in the purchase agreement only in case it is mutually agreed in writing, while the approval of the change via email is also considered a written agreement. Deviating arrangements stated in the purchase agreement take precedence over the provisions of the GTC.

Complaint handling only applies to defects listed in the Complaint Form.
  3. In case the Complaint Form is not completely filled in or proof of purchase and receipt of goods are not enclosed (hereinafter referred to as “Required Documents”), the Seller shall invite the Buyer by phone or email to complete the missing data or attach the missing Required Documents.
  4. If the Seller fails to reach the Buyer by phone repeatedly and/or the Buyer does not respond to the Seller’s email request within 7 days of receipt of the Complaint Form and/or Required Documents by the Seller, the Seller reserves the right not to continue handling the complaint and the goods will be returned back to the Buyer to the address specified in the Complaint Form at Buyer’s expense.
  5. If the goods that are the subject of the complaint are not enclosed with the completed Complaint Form and the Required Documents, the Seller reserves the right not to continue handling the matter until the goods intended to be claimed are delivered to the Seller. In the event that even after the subsequent request of the Seller, the Buyer does not deliver the goods intended to be claimed, it is thought that the Buyer does not intend to exchange or complain about the goods. This also applies if the Buyer does not send the goods meant to be returned within 14 days of withdrawal from the Purchase Agreement.
  6. The Seller recommends that the Buyer insures the goods which are the subject of the return/ exchange/complaint. The risk of damage to the goods, which are the subject of return/exchange/ complaint, is borne by the Buyer until the time of receipt of these goods by the Seller.
  7. You can also hand over the claimed goods in person at our shop: RVUIREX, a.s., Pod Hradiskom 373, 010 04 Žilina, with the proviso that you cannot directly request the handling of the complaint in the shop.
  8. Upon receiving the claimed goods, we will contact you immediately by email or phone and agree with you on a quick resolution of the complaint.
  9. The procedure of defect identification in the claimed goods is in accordance with the legal provisions of the Civil Code (Sec. 622 and Sec. 623). Eliminable defects must be disposed of by the Seller without undue delay, or, upon the Buyer’s request, the Seller should perform an exchange of the goods. Should the defect be ineliminable and prevent the goods from being used properly as a product free of defects, the Buyer has the right to exchange the goods or withdraw from the contract.
  10. The Seller shall handle the complaint in one of the following legal ways:

– by handing in the repaired goods

– by replacing the defective goods

– by refund of the purchase price of the goods

– by paying an adequate discount on the price of the goods

– by written notice of settlement of the complaint

– by justified dismissal of the complaint

  1. If the complaint is accepted, we will replace the claimed goods with an identical item, or provide another one you choose (up to the value of the claimed goods). We also bear the cost of returning and delivery of new goods, or you have the right to withdraw from the contract and in that case, we will refund your money.
  2. The Seller or an employee authorised by them, or another obliged entity designated for repair is obliged to handle the complaint immediately (in complex cases within three working days from the complaint filing). The time required for a professional assessment of the defect is not included in this period. However, the settlement of the complaint cannot take longer than 30 days from the complaint filing and receipt of the claimed goods. After this period, the Buyer, who is a consumer, has the same rights as in case of ineliminable defect, i.e. the Consumer has the right to withdraw from the contract or exchange the product for a new one. You will be informed about the complaint outcome immediately after the end of the complaint handling procedure by email, and together with the goods, you will receive a complaint protocol with the date and method of handling the complaint, including confirmation of repair and its duration, or written justification of the complaint dismissal.
  3. Should the Seller not accept the complaint within three working days, they are obliged to send the goods for professional assessment at their own cost.
  4. In the event that you file a complaint about the goods within the first 12 months of the conclusion of the purchase agreement, we can handle the claim by dismissal only on the basis of an expert opinion. We bear the costs associated with the expert assessment in full.
  5. If you file a complaint about the goods 12 months after the conclusion of the purchase agreement and we dismiss it, we are obliged to state the person, to whom you can send the goods for professional assessment in the document on the handling of the complaint. In case of exercising the right to a professional assessment, according to the documented contact, we bear all costs related to the professional assessment, regardless of its outcome. As a Customer, you can refile a complaint, if our liability for the defect of the claimed goods is proven. The warranty period does not expire during the professional assessment of the goods. We are obliged to reimburse you all costs incurred for the professional assessment of the goods, as well as all related functionally incurred expenses within 14 days of the date of the complaint refiling. We cannot dismiss a refiled complaint.

ARTICLE 14. ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION

  1. The Seller is interested in resolving disputes with the Buyer primarily out of court, and therefore if the Buyer is not satisfied with the handling of the complaint or feels that their rights have been violated by the Seller, they may contact the Seller via email: ruvirex@ruvirex.com to resolve this problem, or, in accordance with Act No. 391/2015 Coll. on Alternative Dispute Resolution, submit a proposal to initiate alternative dispute resolution to the authority, which is the Slovak Trade Inspection or a legal person registered in the list of ADR entities maintained by the Ministry of Economy of the Slovak Republic.

ARTICLE 15. FINAL PROVISIONS

  1. These GTC have been formulated and established bona fide, in order to meet the legal conditions and adjustments of fair business relations between the Seller and the Buyer. The Buyer’s rights in relation to the Seller arising from the Consumer Protection Act and the Consumer Protection Act in the Sale of Goods or Provision of Services based on a Distance Contract remain unaffected by these terms and conditions. Legal relations and conditions not expressly regulated here, as well as any disputes arising from non-compliance with these terms and conditions, are governed by the relevant provisions of the Civil Code, the Consumer Protection Act and the Consumer Protection Act in the Sale of Goods or Provision of Services based on a Distance Contract.
  2. If any provision of these GTC is or becomes invalid or inexecutable in any respect at any time, the validity and executability of the remaining provisions of these GTC shall not be affected or violated. The Contracting Parties hereby undertake to negotiate the replacement of any invalid or inexecutable provision with a new provision, with the proviso that these new provisions are as close as possible to the meaning of those invalid or inexecutable provisions which they replace. This does not affect the Seller’s right to change these GTC in accordance with point 8 of this article of these GTC.
  3. The Seller is entitled to assign or transfer this Agreement or part thereof, as well as the individual rights and obligations arising from the purchase agreement to a third party, provided that they are obliged to notify the Buyer about this fact beforehand in writing. By signing the purchase agreement, the Buyer gives their irrevocable consent to such assignment or transfer.
  4. The Buyer is not entitled to assign or transfer the purchase agreement or any part thereof or individual rights and obligations arising from the purchase agreement to a third party without the prior written consent of the Seller.
  5. The contract may be amended only by written agreement of both parties.
  6. These GTC apply unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing between the Seller and the Buyer or unless otherwise provided by the relevant legislation. The special conditions stated in the purchase agreement take precedence over the provisions of these GTC. These GTC also apply if the conditions stated in the Buyer’s orders are different, except these conditions have been recognised in writing by the Seller.
  7. By clicking the “Order with obligation to pay” icon before sending the order, the Buyer expresses that they have become acquainted with these GTC, fully understand their content and that they agree with them.

  11. The Seller and the Buyer have agreed to fully recognise long-distance communication – by phone, electronic form of communication – via electronic mail and the Internet in particular, as valid and binding for both parties.
