General Commercial Terms & Conditions (hereinafter: GCTC)
- In case of manufacture of goods according to the design presented by the Customer, Litex Promo Sp. z o.o. (hereinafter: ‘Litex’) undertakes to reproduce them as well as possible. In such case, Litex is forced to reserve minor deviations in the field of appearance and colour, conditioned by technical capabilities resulting from the properties of the materials used for realisation of the order, including print on fabrics and differentiated colour effects on substrate of different kinds. The service shall be considered as performed in compliance with the Agreement also in case of occurrence of deviations of this type. The same rule shall apply to comparison of goods masters or trial and serial prints.
- Deviations in dimensions as to width, length or technical specifications of the goods shall be acceptable in compliance with the generally accepted tolerance, i.e. +/- 5%. For technical reasons, we reserve the possibility to increase or decrease the volume of delivery of articles produced by means of printing devices by +/- 10%, rounding it up to the number of pieces being subject to settlement, which is adopted in the industry.
- 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.litex.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.
- The orders shall be accepted in written or oral form and shall become binding only upon their written confirmation by Litex. All changes of the placed order shall require written form.
- Litex shall not be liable for a delay in performance or non-performance of the accepted obligations in the extent, to which it has been caused by operation of force majeure. Force majeure shall be understood as external events or a combination of events or circumstances, being beyond control of Litex and unforeseeable (such as in particular: war, fire, epidemic, flood, transport blockades, social disasters or structure or building collapses, consequences of the acts of the legislative and the executive), or events, which Litex is not culpable for, such as actions or omissions relating to subcontractors or a third party, by means of which Litex performs its obligation (suppliers of raw materials, couriers, etc.).

- The place of performance of the Agreement shall be the premises of Litex.

A complaint shall require provision of all documentation connected with the order. Otherwise, we will not be able to ensure immediate examination and processing of the complaint on account of defects of the goods. In order to achieve the best quality possible, we may produce test prints/goods upon request. The fee for the trial prints/goods shall be charged separately. Colour changes resulting from technical conditions shall not be subject to a complaint.
- In case of occurrence of a defect of the goods due to reasons attributable to Litex, Litex shall have the right – at its own discretion – to eliminate the defect or to deliver replacement goods. The defect shall be eliminated or the replacement goods shall be delivered in adequate time required by sourcing of the goods resulting from general market conditions. Several attempts of defect elimination or performance of the replacement delivery shall be acceptable. In case when finally defect elimination or performance of the replacement delivery fails, the Customer shall have the right to request a decrease of the remuneration. In case when finally defect elimination or performance of the replacement delivery fails, Litex reserves the right to withdraw from the Agreement.
- The Customer may pursue claims for damages against Litex on account of non-performance or improper performance of the Agreement solely in case when losses have occurred due to gross negligence or intentional action of Litex, while damages on account of indirect losses in the form of lost profit shall be excluded.
- The lodged complaint or improper performance of the order shall not suspend payment for the ordered goods / performed service.
- Unless otherwise stipulated by a separately issued guarantee document, the goods of Litex shall be covered with a guarantee being in force in the period of one year counting from the date, on which the item is handed over to the Customer. The guarantee liability shall not cover:

- losses occurring as a result of improper installation of the goods (with exclusion of the case when the installation has been performed by Litex) or improper operation understood as use according to the purpose as well as performance of periodical inspections and maintenance,
- losses occurring as a result of normal wear and tear,
- losses occurring as a result of operation of chemical, electric or electrolytic factors, impact of water, etc.,

- The goods being the subject of the complaint should be delivered by the Customer to the premises of Litex with all accessories, in packaging guaranteeing security against mechanical damages in the course of transportation.
- In case when Litex ascertains that the lodged complaint it illegitimate, all costs incurred on this account shall be charged to the Party lodging the complaint.
- The granted guarantee shall not exclude, shall not limit and shall not suspend – with consideration of the provisions of point 18 – the entitlements of the Customer resulting from legal provisions relating to statutory warranty for defects of a sold object.
- 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 Litex, unless otherwise stipulated by the mandatory rules of law or individual agreed contractual provisions.

In case of a delay in receipt of the product and/or service, Litex shall bear liability solely in case of a gross fault or deterioration of the condition of the subject of sale and/or delivery.
