• through his or her customer account, following prior registration in the Online Store;
• by completing the order form without registration.
3. When placing an order, the Customer selects the goods, the quantity of the goods, and the method of payment and delivery.

The Customer submits the order to the seller by clicking the button “Submit order with obligation to pay”. The data stated in the order are considered correct by the Trader. A condition for the validity of the order is the completion of all mandatory data in the order form and the Customer’s confirmation that he or she has acquainted himself or herself with these Terms and Conditions.
5. Immediately after receiving the order, the Trader shall send the Customer confirmation of receipt of the order to the email address provided by the Customer when placing the order.

6. If the Trader is unable to fulfil any of the requirements stated in the order, the Trader shall send an amended offer to the Customer’s email address.

The Trader shall inform the Customer of the error without undue delay and shall send an amended offer to the Customer’s email address. The amended offer shall be considered a new proposal for a purchase agreement, and in such case the purchase agreement is concluded by confirmation of acceptance by the Customer sent to the Trader’s email address.

The delivery date, price, package contents, and specifications of such goods are indicative only and may change without prior notice. The creation of an order by the Customer for goods marked as a Pre-order is considered only to create a reservation for the product and does not result in a purchase agreement between the Trader and the Customer. In the case of Pre-orders, the Trader reserves the right to change the price, delivery date, or characteristics of the product for our market. The Trader considers the Order [RH2] binding only after the price and contents of the Pre-order have been confirmed by email or telephone on the date on which the product is placed on our market.

II.
Liability for Defects in Sold Goods
1. The Trader shall be liable for defects that the sold item has at the time of delivery and that become apparent within two years of delivery of the item (Section 619(1) of the Civil Code, Section 613(2) and (3) of the Civil Code); this also applies to an item with digital elements involving a one-off supply of digital content or a digital service. The statutory warranty period is 24 months from delivery of the goods (Section 619(1) of the Civil Code). If the subject matter of the purchase is an item with digital elements for which the Trader is to supply digital content or provide a digital service continuously for the agreed period, the Trader shall be liable for any defect in the digital content or digital service that occurs or becomes apparent throughout the entire agreed period, but for at least two years from delivery of the item with digital elements (Section 619(2) of the Civil Code, Section 613(4) of the Civil Code).
2. In the case of used items, the Trader shall be liable for defects that the sold item has at the time of delivery and that become apparent within one year of delivery (Section 619(1) and (3) of the Civil Code).
3. The Trader shall be liable for a defect caused by incorrect assembly or installation of the item, digital content, or digital service if (i) the assembly or installation formed part of the purchase agreement and was carried out by the Trader or under its responsibility, or (ii) assembly or installation that was to be carried out by the Customer was performed incorrectly by the Customer due to deficiencies in the assembly or installation instructions provided by the Trader or the supplier of the digital content or digital service (Section 619(4) of the Civil Code).
4. The Trader shall not be liable for a defect in an item with digital elements caused exclusively by failure to install an update pursuant to Section 617(3) of the Civil Code, if the Customer failed to install the update within a reasonable time after it was supplied and (i) the Trader informed the buyer of the availability of the update and the consequences of failure to install it, and (ii) the failure to install or incorrect installation of the update by the Customer was not caused by deficiencies in the installation instructions provided (Section 619(5) of the Civil Code).
5. The Trader may provide the Customer with a consumer warranty whereby it undertakes to refund the purchase price to the buyer, replace or repair the sold item, or ensure its maintenance beyond the scope of rights arising from statutory liability for defects. The Customer has the right to demand performance under the consumer warranty subject to the conditions stated in the warranty certificate or in related advertising available at the time of conclusion of the purchase agreement or before its conclusion (Section 626(5) of the Civil Code), while the buyer’s rights arising from liability for defects under Section 621 of the Civil Code shall not be affected by such consumer warranty.
6. Warranty periods begin to run upon delivery of the item. The item is delivered at the moment when it is received by the Customer or a person designated by the Customer, or when the Trader hands it over to a carrier commissioned by the Customer outside the transport options offered to the buyer by the Trader. If the item requires assembly or installation by the Seller, the item shall be considered delivered only upon completion of the assembly or installation. An item with digital elements shall be considered delivered when the relevant digital content or digital service is made available to the buyer for download and installation or, in the case of continuous supply of digital content or provision of a digital service during the agreed period, when it begins to be made available to the buyer.
7. The period from notification of the defect until completion of the repair shall not be included in the warranty period. The Trader is obliged to issue the acquirer with confirmation of when the right was exercised, as well as confirmation of performance of the repair and its duration (Section 505(2) of the Civil Code).
8. If, when goods are purchased, the Trader offers the Customer additional goods free of charge as a gift, it is up to the Customer whether to accept the offered gift. However, the gift is not sold goods, and therefore the Trader is not liable for any defects in it. If, however, the Trader is aware of any defects in the gift, it is obliged to inform the Customer thereof when offering the gift (Section 629 of the Civil Code). If the gift has defects of which the Trader did not inform the Customer, the Customer is entitled to return it (Section 629 of the Civil Code). If the Customer becomes entitled to withdraw from the agreement (refund), the Customer is obliged to return to the Seller everything received under the agreement, i.e. also the goods received as a gift (Section 457 of the Civil Code in conjunction with Section 48(2) of the Civil Code).
9. The Trader shall not be liable for defects in sold goods caused by:
a) use of the goods under conditions inconsistent with the nature of the goods or, as applicable, with the relevant documentation for the goods;
b) mechanical damage to the goods occurring after receipt by the Customer;
c) improper handling of the goods;
d) wear and tear or excessive use of the item;
e) modification of the goods;
f) natural events.
10. The Trader shall further not be liable for:
a) incorrect numbers of cards in packs or their composition;
b) damage to individual cards in packs and products;
c) damage to any components inside the product that clearly occurred during the manufacturing process of the goods or part thereof.
III.
Exercise of Rights Arising from Liability for Defects in Sold Goods (Goods Complaints)
1. The Customer may notify a defect in a sold item at any of the Trader’s business premises or to another person of whom the Trader informed the Customer before conclusion of the agreement or before submission of the order, or by means of distance communication at the address of the seller’s registered office or place of business or at another address of which the Trader informed the buyer at the time of conclusion of the agreement or after its conclusion (Section 622(1) of the Civil Code).
2. The Customer may exercise rights arising from liability for defects, including the right to withhold payment of the purchase price or part thereof until the Trader fulfils its obligations arising from liability for defects, only if the Customer notified the defect within two months of discovering it and no later than before expiry of the period pursuant to Article IV, paragraphs 1 to 3 of this Complaints Procedure (the warranty period). The Customer has the right to withhold payment of the purchase price or part thereof under the preceding sentence only if the Customer is not itself in default with payment of the purchase price or part thereof at the time the defect is notified, and the Customer shall pay the purchase price without undue delay after the Trader fulfils its obligations (Section 621(2) and (3) of the Civil Code).
3. The Customer has the right against the Trader to reimbursement of reasonably incurred costs arising in connection with notification of a defect for which the Trader is liable and exercise of rights arising from liability for the defect. The Customer must exercise the right under the preceding sentence with the Seller no later than within two months of delivery of the repaired or replacement item, payment of a price reduction, or reimbursement of the price following withdrawal from the agreement; otherwise the right shall lapse.
4. The Trader or an employee authorised by the Trader shall provide the Customer with written confirmation of notification of the defect immediately after the Customer notifies the defect. In the confirmation of notification of the defect, the Trader shall state a reasonable period within which the defect will be remedied. The period notified under the preceding sentence may not exceed 30 days from the date on which the defect was notified, unless a longer period is justified by an objective reason beyond the Trader’s control (Section 622(3) of the Civil Code). If the Trader denies liability for defects, it shall notify the Customer in writing of the reasons for the denial. If the Customer proves the seller’s liability for the defect by an expert report or professional opinion issued by an accredited person, authorised person, or notified person, the Customer may notify the defect repeatedly and the Trader may not deny liability for the defect; in such case, the procedure under the first sentence of this paragraph shall not apply to the repeated notification of the defect (Section 622(4) of the Civil Code).
5. If the Trader’s liability for the defect is established pursuant to paragraph 5 above, the Customer has the right to claim from the Trader reimbursement of the costs associated with the expert report and professional opinion no later than within two months of delivery of the repaired or replacement item, payment of a price reduction, or reimbursement of the price following withdrawal from the agreement; otherwise the right shall lapse.
6. Written confirmation of notification of a defect means a copy of the complaint report. If the Customer lodged the Complaint by means of distance communication, the Trader is obliged to deliver confirmation of lodgement of the Complaint to the Customer without undue delay by email, if the Customer’s email address is known to the Trader.
7. If the Customer asks about the method of handling the Complaint, the Trader shall provide information on the method and status of the Complaint itself or through an authorised service centre.
8. When lodging a Complaint:
• the Complaint must be registered through the electronic form (which is an annex to the Terms and Conditions);
• a photograph of the goods showing the claimed defect in the goods must be taken;
• the completed form together with the above photograph must be sent to any of the Trader’s email addresses stated in this Complaints Procedure or the Terms and Conditions, or to the address of its registered office.
9. The Trader shall notify the Customer of the resolution of the Complaint, together with all information concerning the resolution of the Complaint, by email sent to the Customer’s email address.
IV.
Method of Handling Complaints
1. The Customer has the right to choose remedy of the defect by replacement of the item or repair of the item. The Customer may not choose a method of remedying the defect that is impossible or that, compared with the other method of remedying the defect, would cause the Trader disproportionate costs in view of all circumstances, in particular the value the item would have without the defect, the seriousness of the defect, and whether the other method of remedying the defect would cause the buyer significant inconvenience (Section 623(1) of the Civil Code).
2. The Trader may refuse to remedy the defect if neither repair nor replacement is possible or if they would require disproportionate costs in view of all circumstances, including the circumstances under paragraph 1 of this Article of the Complaints Procedure.
3. The Trader shall repair or replace the item within 48 hours, but no later than within 30 days after the Customer notified the defect, free of charge, at its own expense, and without causing serious inconvenience to the buyer, taking into account the nature of the item and the purpose for which the Customer required the item. The costs of taking over the item for repair or replacement, as well as the costs of delivery of the repaired item or replacement item, shall be borne by the Trader. When remedying a defect by replacing the item, the Trader shall not be entitled to compensation for damage caused by normal wear and tear of the item or remuneration for normal use of the item before its replacement.
4. The Trader shall deliver the repaired item or replacement item to the buyer in the same or a similar manner as the Customer delivered the defective item, unless the parties agree otherwise. If the Customer fails to take over the item within six months from the date on which he or she should have taken it over, the Trader may sell the item. If the item is of greater value, the Trader shall notify the buyer in advance of the intended sale and provide a reasonable additional period for taking over the item. Immediately after the sale, the Trader shall pay the buyer the proceeds from the sale of the item after deducting the costs reasonably incurred for its storage and sale, provided that the Customer exercises the right to a share of the proceeds within a reasonable period stated by the Trader in the notice of the intended sale of the item. The Trader may destroy the item at its own expense if it could not be sold or if the expected proceeds from the sale would not be sufficient even to cover the costs reasonably incurred by the Trader for storage of the item and the costs that the Trader would necessarily have to incur for its sale (Section 623(5) of the Civil Code).
5. When remedying the defect, the Trader shall ensure removal of the item and installation of the repaired item or replacement item if replacement or repair requires removal of the defective item that was installed in accordance with its nature and purpose before the defect became apparent. The Trader and the Customer may agree that removal of the item and installation of the repaired or replacement item will be arranged by the Customer at the seller’s expense and risk (Section 623(6) of the Civil Code).
6. The Customer has the right to a reasonable reduction in the purchase price or may withdraw from the purchase agreement even without providing an additional reasonable period if:
• the Trader failed to repair or replace the item;
• the Trader failed to repair or replace the item in accordance with Section 623(4) and (6) of the Civil Code;
• the Trader refused to remedy the defect because neither repair nor replacement is possible or because they would require disproportionate costs in view of all circumstances;
• the item has the same defect despite repair or replacement of the item;
• the defect is of such a serious nature that it justifies an immediate reduction in the purchase price or withdrawal from the purchase agreement; or
• the Trader declared, or it is apparent from the circumstances, that it will not remedy the defect within a reasonable period or without causing serious inconvenience to the buyer.
7. The Customer may not withdraw from the purchase agreement pursuant to paragraph 6 of this Article of the Complaints Procedure if the Customer contributed to the occurrence of the defect or if the defect is negligible. The burden of proving that the Customer contributed to the occurrence of the defect and that the defect is negligible shall lie with the Trader.
8. If the agreement concerns the purchase of several items, the Customer may withdraw from it only in relation to the defective item. The Customer may withdraw from the agreement in relation to the other items only if it cannot reasonably be expected that the Customer would be interested in retaining the other items without the defective item.
9. Following withdrawal from the agreement or part thereof, the Customer shall return the item to the seller at the seller’s expense. The Trader shall arrange removal of an item that was installed in accordance with its nature and purpose before the defect became apparent. If the Trader fails to remove the item within a reasonable period, the Customer may arrange removal and delivery of the item to the seller at the seller’s expense and risk. Following withdrawal from the agreement, the Trader shall refund the purchase price to the buyer no later than within 14 days from the date on which the item is returned to the seller or after proof that the Customer sent the item to the seller, whichever occurs first. The Trader shall refund the purchase price to the buyer or pay the price reduction using the same method used by the Customer to pay the purchase price, unless the Customer expressly agrees to another payment method. All costs associated with the payment shall be borne by the Trader. The Trader shall not be entitled to compensation for damage caused by normal wear and tear of the item or remuneration for normal use of the item before withdrawal from the purchase agreement.
10. If gifts are provided with the goods (including goods supplied for a symbolic value if their supply to the Customer is presented as a gift with goods that the Customer may return within 14 days without giving a reason), the Customer is obliged to return the related gifts together with the returned goods. If these gifts are not returned together with the returned goods, such gifts shall be regarded at their market value as unjust enrichment of the Customer. This paragraph shall not apply to a gift in the form of electronic content.
11. With regard to a Complaint concerning a Mystery Box product, the Trader informs the Customer that it is not possible to request delivery of a specific collectible edition of the cards and packs sent, because before the purchase the Customer was expressly informed by the Trader and notified within the Terms and Conditions that these are unspecified cards and packs sent in an opaque sealed box.
V.
Alternative Dispute Resolution
1. If a dispute arises between the Customer and the Trader from the exercise of rights arising from liability for defects, or if the Customer believes that the Trader has infringed other rights of the buyer, the Customer has the right to contact the Trader with a request for remedy. If the Trader or a designated person authorised to assess defects responds negatively to the buyer’s request under the preceding sentence, it shall inform the buyer on a durable medium of the relevant alternative dispute resolution entities. If the Trader or a designated person authorised to assess defects responds negatively to the Customer’s request under the first sentence of this paragraph or fails to respond to such request within 30 days from the date on which it was sent by the Customer, the Customer has the right to submit a proposal to initiate alternative dispute resolution pursuant to Section 12 of Act No. 391/2015 Coll. on Alternative Resolution of Consumer Disputes and on Amendments and Supplements to Certain Acts, as amended; this shall not affect the possibility of applying to a court.
2. The competent entity for alternative resolution of consumer disputes with the Trader is the Slovak Trade Inspection or another competent authorised legal person entered in the list of alternative dispute resolution entities maintained by the Ministry of Economy of the Slovak Republic (the list is available at http://www.mhsr.sk/); the Customer has the right to choose which of the stated alternative dispute resolution entities to contact. The Customer may use the online dispute resolution platform available at http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/ to submit a proposal for alternative resolution of a consumer dispute.
