- This section of the Regulations and all provisions contained therein are addressed and thus are binding only for the Service Recipient or the Customer who is not a Consumer, and also who is not an Entrepreneur on the Rights of Consumer.
- Service Provider is entitled to take action at any time to verify the truthfulness, reliability and accuracy of the information provided by the Customer/Service Recipient, in particular as provided in the Customer Account.

During the verification referred to in the preceding sentence, Service Provider is entitled to suspend access to the Customer Panel and suspend the execution of the Order for the duration of the verification.
- The Service Provider may terminate the contract for the provision of Electronic Service with immediate effect and without giving reasons by sending the appropriate statement to the Service Recipient.
- Any delay or failure to comply with the terms of service provision by the Service Provider shall not constitute grounds for withdraw from the contract or claim damages for losses suffered or other equivalent payments if the non-performance or improper performance of services was caused by factors for which the Service Provider is not responsible and to which the Service Provider did not contribute.
- The Service Provider shall not be liable to the Service Recipient/Customer for damages and non-fulfilment of obligations resulting from force majeure events (e.g. power or Internet outages, hacking attacks, natural disasters, epidemics, wars, riots, commotions, floods, fires) or any other causes beyond the Service Provider’s reasonable control.

15) TECHNICAL INTERRUPTIONS AND FAILURES
- The Service Provider makes every effort to ensure correct and uninterrupted functioning of the Website. However, due to the complexity and sophistication of the Website and its Electronic Services, as well as due to external factors beyond the Service Provider’s control (e.g. DDOS attacks – distributed denial of service), it is possible that errors and technical failures will occur, preventing or limiting in any way the functioning of the Website, Electronic Services and Digital Products. In such a case, Service Provider shall take all reasonable and feasible steps to ensure that the negative effects of such events are limited to the greatest possible extent.
- In addition to interruptions caused by errors and technical failures, other technical interruptions may occur, during which the Service Provider takes measures to develop the Service and to protect it against errors and technical failures.
- The Service Provider is obliged to plan technical interruptions in such a way that they are least disruptive to the Service Recipients, in particular that they are planned for times of reduced traffic on the Site (e.g. night hours) and only for the time necessary for the Service Provider to perform the necessary actions. The Service Provider is obliged to inform the Service Recipients of planned technical interruptions well in advance, including the estimated duration of the planned interruption.
16) FINAL PROVISIONS
- Agreements concluded on the basis of these Regulations shall be concluded in English or Polish (depending on the language version of the Website selected) and in accordance with Polish law.
- Amendments to the Regulations:
a. Service Provider reserves the right to amend these Regulations for important reasons, that is: changes to the law; being subject to legal or regulatory obligations; changes to the scope or form of the Electronic Services or Digital Products provided; adding new Electronic Services or Digital Products; changes to the payment methods and deadlines; ; the need to counteract unforeseen and immediate threats related to the protection of the Website, including Electronic Services and Customers , against fraud, malware, spam, data breach or other threats to cybersecurity ; changes to the Service Provider’s data – to the extent to which these changes affect the implementation of the provisions of these Regulations.
b. Notice of proposed amendments shall be sent at least 15 days in advance of the effective date of such amendments, subject to point 16 sec. 2 letter e) and f) of the Regulations. The Service Recipient has the right to terminate the contract with the Service Provider before the expiry of the notification period. Such termination shall take effect 15 days after receipt of the notification.
c. If a continuing contract is concluded (e.g. contract for the use of an Account), the amended Regulations bind the Service Recipient if the Service Recipient has been properly notified of the changes in accordance with the notification period prior to their implementation and has not terminated the contract during this period. In addition, at any time after receiving notice of the changes, the Service Recipient may accept the changes and thus resign from the further duration of the notification period. In the event that an amendment to the Regulations results in the introduction of any new fees or an increase in current fees, the Service Recipient, who is a Consumer, has the right to withdraw from the contract.
d. In other cases, the amendments to the Regulations will not in any way affect the rights acquired by the Service Recipient before the date of entry into force of the amendments to the Regulations, in particular the amendments to the Regulations will not affect contracts already concluded for the supply of Digital Products.
e. The Service Provider may amend the Regulations without observing the 15-day notification period referred to in point. 16 sec. 2 of the Regulations, if the Service Provider:
i. is subject to a legal or regulatory obligation under which the Service Provider is required to amend the Regulations in a way that prevents the Service Provider from complying with the 15-day notification period;
ii. must exceptionally amend the Service Provider’s Regulations to address unforeseen and imminent risks associated with protecting the Site, including the Electronic Services and Service Recipients from fraud, malware, spam, data breaches or other cyber security threats.
f. In the cases referred to in point 16 sec. 2 letter e) of the Regulations, changes are introduced with immediate effect, unless it is possible or necessary to apply a longer period for introducing changes, which shall be notified each time by the Service Provider. - In matters not covered by these Regulations, generally applicable provisions of Polish law shall apply, in particular: Civil Code; Act of 18 July 2002 on the provision of services by electronic means (Journal of Laws 2002 No. 144, item 1204 as amended); Consumer Rights Act; Copyright and other relevant provisions of commonly applicable law.
- These Regulations do not exclude provisions in force in the country of habitual residence of the Consumer concluding a contract with the Service Provider, which cannot be excluded by contract. The Service Provider shall in that case guarantee the Consumer the protection afforded to him under those provisions which cannot be excluded by contract.
