Store Terms and Conditions
The Emersano Online Store safeguards consumer rights. A consumer cannot waive the rights granted under the Consumer Rights Act. Provisions of agreements less favorable to the consumer than the Act's provisions are invalid, and statutory provisions shall apply instead. Consequently, the provisions of these Terms and Conditions are not intended to exclude or limit any consumer rights granted under non-waivable legal provisions. In case of any ambiguities, they should be interpreted in favor of the consumer. In the event of inconsistencies between these Terms and Conditions and the applicable laws, the laws will prevail.

8.3. The commencement of the withdrawal period begins:
8.3.1. For contracts where the Seller delivers the Product while being obligated to transfer ownership (e.g., a Sales Contract):
From the moment the Product is taken into possession by the consumer or a third party indicated by them, other than the carrier. In the case of a contract that:
8.3.1.1. Includes multiple Products delivered separately, in batches, or in parts – from the moment the last Product, batch, or part is taken into possession.

8.5. The Seller is obligated to refund all payments made by the consumer, including the delivery costs of the Product (except for additional costs arising from the consumer's choice of a delivery method other than the least expensive standard delivery option offered by the Online Store), immediately and no later than within 14 calendar days from the day the Seller receives the consumer’s declaration of withdrawal. The refund will be processed using the same payment method the consumer used unless the consumer explicitly agrees to another method that does not involve additional costs. If the Seller has not offered to collect the Product from the consumer, the refund may be withheld until the Product is returned or the consumer provides proof of its return, whichever occurs first.
8.6. The consumer must return the Product to the Seller or deliver it to a person authorized by the Seller to receive it immediately and no later than within 14 calendar days from the date of withdrawal unless the Seller offers to collect the Product themselves. The deadline is met if the Product is sent before the 14-day period expires. The consumer can return the Product to the following address:
AESTIN Sp. z o.o., ul. Waryńskiego 36, 86-300 Grudziądz.
8.7. The consumer is responsible for any decrease in the value of the Product caused by using it in a way that exceeds what is necessary to determine its nature, features, and functioning.

8.8.2. The consumer bears the direct costs of returning the Product.
8.8.3. In the case of a Product that is a service, where the performance began before the withdrawal period expired at the explicit request of the consumer, the consumer is required to pay for the services provided until the withdrawal. The payment amount is calculated proportionally to the extent of services performed, considering the agreed contract price or remuneration. If the price or remuneration is excessive, the basis for calculation is the market value of the provided services.
8.9. The right of withdrawal from a distance contract does not apply to the consumer in the following cases:
8.9.1. For service agreements, where the Seller has fully performed the service with the consumer's explicit consent, who was informed before the performance began that they would lose the right to withdraw once the Seller completed the service.

8.9.7. Where the subject of the contract is alcoholic beverages whose price was agreed upon at the time of concluding the Sales Contract, the delivery of which can only occur after 30 days and whose value depends on market fluctuations beyond the Seller’s control.
8.9.8. Where the consumer has explicitly requested the Seller to visit them for urgent repair or maintenance. If the Seller provides additional services beyond those requested by the consumer or delivers Products other than replacement parts necessary for the repair or maintenance, the right of withdrawal applies to the additional services or Products.
8.9.9. Where the subject of the contract is audio or video recordings or computer software delivered in sealed packaging if the package was opened after delivery.

8.9.13. For the delivery of digital content not stored on a tangible medium, if the performance has begun with the consumer's explicit consent before the withdrawal period has ended and after informing them of the loss of the right to withdraw.

If an amendment introduces new fees or increases current fees, a consumer Service User has the right to withdraw from the agreement.
10.2.3.
