Terms of service

Current wording pursuant to Act No. 108/2024 Coll. on Consumer Protection

I. Introductory provisions

  1. These General Terms and Conditions (hereinafter the "GTC") govern the mutual rights and obligations of the contracting parties, namely the seller and the buyer, arising from the contractual relationship constituted by a purchase contract concluded through the online store.
  2. The seller (a trader within the meaning of Act No. 108/2024 Coll.) is the company PONOKADO s. r. o., with its registered office at Starohorská 6157/7, 974 11 Banská Bystrica, Slovak Republic, Company ID (IČO): 53 438 698, registered in the Commercial Register of the District Court Banská Bystrica, Section: Sro, File No. 40082/S, e-mail address: ahoj@tilume.sk.
  3. The buyer is a consumer. A consumer is a natural person who, when concluding and performing the purchase contract as a consumer contract, does not act within the scope of their trade or other business activity. The buyer declares that they have legal capacity to the extent necessary to enter into a contractual relationship with the seller. If the buyer is under 18 years of age, a contractual relationship with the seller may arise only if the buyer's legal guardian has consented to or approved it, or if entering into the contractual relationship with the seller is, by its nature, appropriate to the intellectual and volitional maturity corresponding to the buyer's age.
  4. The online store is located at the website www.tilume.sk and is operated by the seller.
  5. Goods are items offered for sale by the seller in the online store.
  6. The purchase contract and the mutual rights of the buyer and the seller arising from the purchase contract are governed primarily by Act No. 40/1964 Coll., the Civil Code, as amended (hereinafter the "Civil Code"), and Act No. 108/2024 Coll. on Consumer Protection and on Amendments to Certain Acts, as amended (hereinafter "Act No. 108/2024 Coll."), which with effect from 1 July 2024 replaced Act No. 250/2007 Coll. on Consumer Protection and Act No. 102/2014 Coll. on Consumer Protection in the Sale of Goods or Provision of Services under a Distance Contract or a Contract Concluded Away from the Seller's Business Premises.
  7. The GTC form an integral part of every purchase contract. If the seller and the buyer conclude a purchase contract in which they agree on mutual rights and obligations that differ from the GTC, the arrangement of mutual rights and obligations under such a purchase contract takes precedence over the GTC.
  8. The conditions for exercising rights arising from liability for defects (Art. VII) and the privacy policy (Art. IX) also form an integral part of the GTC.
  9. The contracting parties declare that the information stated in the purchase contract, or in any further mutual communication, is true and up to date, and undertake to notify the other contracting party without delay of any fact that could affect the performance of obligations arising from the purchase contract. The contracting parties are aware that, if they fail to disclose such facts, they will be liable for the consequences that may arise for the other contracting party from ignorance of these facts, including a claim for damages.

II. Conclusion of the purchase contract

  1. The offer of goods means the selected goods offered for sale by the seller through the online store.
  2. The prices of the goods offered are stated inclusive of value added tax (VAT) and all other taxes. The price stated next to the goods is the final price of the goods. The costs of delivering the goods are not included in the price of the goods and are communicated to the buyer before the order is submitted. The final price of the order, including delivery costs, is always displayed to the buyer at checkout before the order is submitted, in the currency selected in the online store.
  3. If the seller indicates a discount or price reduction for goods, the seller shall at the same time indicate the previous price of the goods. The previous price means the lowest price at which the seller sold the goods during the 30 days preceding the price reduction; if the seller sold the goods for a period shorter than 30 days, the previous price means the lowest price during that shorter period.
  4. The buyer may place an order for goods through the online store using the form provided for that purpose. The form includes, in particular, the selection of the type and quantity of goods, the buyer's identification details, and the choice of payment method and delivery method. Registration of the buyer in the online store is not a condition for placing an order.
  5. When placing an order, the buyer has the option to enter a discount code; by entering it, a discount or other benefit is applied in favour of the buyer, provided the buyer has such a discount code. The buyer will be informed about the successful application of the discount code and its effects when placing the order after entering it.
  6. When placing an order, the buyer has the option to consent to receiving newsletters at the buyer's e-mail address. Consent can be withdrawn at any time, most easily by clicking the unsubscribe link included in every such e-mail.
  7. To duly place an order, the buyer must agree to the GTC and to the privacy policy, which forms an integral part of the GTC.
  8. By creating and confirming the order, the buyer confirms that they have read the GTC in full and agree with them in full, that they have familiarised themselves with the privacy policy, and that they have been informed that creating and confirming the order entails an obligation to pay the purchase price.
  9. The buyer declares that they are aware that the purchase of goods from the seller does not give rise to any rights to use the registered trademarks, trade names, company logos or patents of the seller or other persons, unless otherwise agreed in a specific case by a separate contract.
  10. The seller undertakes to accept the buyer's order of goods, provided that the order does not conflict with the GTC and the seller has no specific reason to believe that the buyer will breach obligations under the GTC. The seller reserves the right not to accept an order, or to withdraw from an already concluded purchase contract, if it is apparent from the order that it was clearly not made seriously, if the buyer has misused another person's personal data, provided clearly incorrect information, misused a payment card or similar. The buyer will be informed of such action at the e-mail address they provided.
  11. The purchase contract is concluded and the contractual relationship between the seller and the buyer arises at the moment the seller accepts the buyer's order, of which the seller notifies the buyer at the e-mail address the buyer provided. Together with this notification, the seller also sends the buyer information on how the buyer can access the GTC and the privacy policy.
  12. Under the purchase contract, the seller is obliged to deliver to the buyer the goods that are the subject of the purchase contract, and the buyer is obliged to take delivery of the goods that are the subject of the purchase contract and to pay the seller the agreed purchase price.
  13. The costs incurred by the buyer in placing the order, concluding the purchase contract and taking delivery of the goods (e.g. costs of internet connection or telephone communication) are borne by the buyer.

III. Delivery terms

  1. The buyer selects the delivery method from the available delivery methods offered when placing the order; the price of the selected delivery method is displayed to the buyer before the order is submitted. If, for reasons on the buyer's side, the goods must be delivered repeatedly or in a manner other than that selected in the order, the buyer is obliged to reimburse the seller for the additional costs associated with the repeated delivery of the goods, or the costs associated with a different delivery method.
  2. The seller undertakes to inform the buyer of the dispatch of the goods for delivery at the e-mail address stated by the buyer in the order.
  3. The seller shall dispatch the goods without undue delay after the purchase contract is concluded. The estimated delivery time depends on the selected carrier. The seller undertakes to deliver the goods to the buyer no later than 30 days from the date the purchase contract is concluded, unless the contracting parties agree otherwise. If the seller fails to fulfil its obligation to deliver the goods within this period and does not deliver the goods even within an additional reasonable period granted by the buyer, the buyer has the right to withdraw from the contract.
  4. The costs of delivering the goods are communicated to the buyer before the order is submitted, according to the current price list of the carriers or other persons providing delivery of the goods for the seller.
  5. The seller delivers goods to the countries listed among the delivery options when placing the order. The current list of countries, available delivery methods and their prices are displayed to the buyer at checkout before the order is submitted.
  6. The buyer acquires ownership of the goods upon taking delivery of them, provided the purchase price has already been duly and timely paid by the buyer; otherwise only upon payment of the purchase price in full.
  7. The risk of accidental destruction, accidental deterioration and damage to the goods passes to the buyer at the moment the goods are taken over by the buyer or by a third party designated by the buyer other than the carrier.
  8. The seller shall provide the buyer with proof of purchase at the buyer's e-mail address. The proof of purchase contains in particular: the seller's business name and registered office, the address of the establishment, the date of sale, the name and quantity of the goods or service, the price of the individual goods or service and the total price paid by the buyer.
  9. When taking delivery of the goods from the carrier, the buyer is obliged to check the integrity of the packaging of the goods and, in the event of any defects, to resolve them immediately with the carrier and inform the seller. If damage to the packaging indicating unauthorised opening of the shipment is discovered, the buyer is advised not to accept the shipment from the carrier and to complete a shipment damage report. By signing the delivery note, the buyer confirms that the packaging of the shipment containing the goods was intact and undamaged.
  10. If the goods were damaged in transit and the damage was not apparent when the shipment was taken over from the carrier, we recommend that the buyer report the discovered damage immediately after discovering it, so that the claim can be resolved as quickly as possible. This is without prejudice to the buyer's rights arising from liability for defects.
  11. The buyer is obliged to take delivery of the ordered goods. If the buyer, without a serious reason, fails to take delivery of the ordered goods and the goods are returned to the seller, the seller is entitled to withdraw from the purchase contract; this is without prejudice to the seller's right to compensation for reasonably incurred costs associated with the unsuccessful delivery and return of the shipment pursuant to Sections 420 et seq. of the Civil Code. This provision does not affect the buyer's right to withdraw from the contract under Art. VI of these GTC.

IV. Payment terms

    1. by payment card online in the online store,
    2. cash on delivery when taking delivery of the goods from the carrier (only for delivery to Slovakia and the Czech Republic).
  2. The payment method is selected by the buyer when placing the order.

Cash on delivery is available only for delivery within the Slovak Republic and the Czech Republic.
  3. When choosing payment by card online, the buyer fills in the details required to complete the payment directly in the online store. After their validity is verified, the order will be confirmed and the amount of the purchase price will be deducted from the buyer's bank account.
  4. In the case of cash on delivery when taking delivery of the goods from the carrier, any cash-on-delivery fees are communicated to the buyer before the order is submitted, according to the carrier's current price list.

V. Other rights and obligations arising from the concluded purchase contract

  1. The seller is obliged to deliver the ordered goods to the buyer at the agreed price, and the buyer is obliged to take delivery of the goods and pay the purchase price for the goods, including the costs of the selected delivery method.

The buyer is obliged to familiarise themselves with this information before using the goods; it is recommended that the goods be used in accordance with it.
  4. If the goods have defects of which the seller is aware, the seller is obliged to draw the buyer's attention to them when negotiating the purchase contract.
  5. If the buyer provides the seller with a rating (review) of the goods, or a photo or other content related to the goods, the buyer thereby grants the seller a free, non-exclusive licence for an indefinite period to use such rating or content for marketing purposes related to the presentation of the seller's brand and products. Providing a rating is voluntary. The seller ensures the authenticity of published ratings by, as a rule, making the rating option available only to buyers who have made a purchase from the seller.

VI. Withdrawal from the purchase contract

  1. Since the purchase contract is concluded through the online store www.tilume.sk as a distance contract, the buyer is entitled to withdraw from the purchase contract within 14 days, without giving any reason.
