  1. The General Commercial Terms & Conditions shall be applicable to all sales and deliveries of ŚL, with exclusion of sales to the benefit of consumers (a natural person buying goods or ordering a service not connected directly with their business or professional activity) and entrepreneurs being a natural person, concluding the Agreement that is directly connected with their business activity if it results from the content of this Agreement that it does not have professional character for them (resulting in particular from the subject of the run business activity communicated on the basis of the provisions relating to the Central Registration and Information on Business Activity). The persons determined in the preceding sentence – hereinafter referred to as ‘Entitled Persons’ – shall have the right to withdraw from a distance agreement or an agreement concluded outside the premises of the enterprise without determination of the reasons within 14 days on the terms & conditions determined in Appendix 1 to the GCTC. The Entitled Persons may for this purpose use the template of the representation provided as Appendix 2 to these GCTC.
  2. The GCTC shall constitute modification of the statutory warranty terms & conditions included in the Civil Code and shall have priority of application to all sale, delivery, commission, service and other similar agreements concluded by ŚL, unless otherwise stipulated by the mandatory rules of law or individual agreed contractual provisions.
  3. All information on products and services – in particular descriptions, technical and performance parameters, prices – found in the promotional folders, catalogues and on the website www.swiatlnu.pl shall not constitute an offer in the meaning of art. 66 of the Civil Code or art. 661 of the Civil Code but it shall be considered as an invitation to conclude an agreement in the meaning of art. 71 of the Civil Code, in accordance with the terms & conditions of these GCTC.
  4. The orders shall be accepted in written or oral form and shall become binding only upon their written confirmation by ŚL. All changes of the placed order shall require written form.
  5. In the case of manufacturing products and rendering services according to the standard presented by the Orderer / Recipient, or presented by ŚL, ŚL is obliged to make the reproduction as accurately as it is technically possible. In the execution of the contract small deviations from the standard and between production batches are allowed in the scope of the appearance, colour conditioned by technical and technological capabilities. Small deviations from the standard are not subject to complaint. It is not recommended to use (combine) different production batches / deliveries to fill one order of the product.
  6. Digital printing on fabrics made of natural fibres (mainly flaxen, hempen, cotton ones) is subject to the risk of occurrence of some faded print, i.e., small dots in the colour of the fabric background. It results from the nature of the raw material and is a natural phenomenon.
  7. Because of the technical and technological conditions of the fabrics and the printing process, ŚL allows for a slight difference in the dimensions and shapes of the pattern printed on the fabric in comparison to the graphic design, e.g. patterns containing vertical and horizontal lines, and also pattern elements forming a distinctive line, may be slightly uneven after the printout.
