Every statement in which no opposition to the content of the Summary is expressed shall be considered to be the Customer’s confirmation. The confirmation from the Customer must be submitted until 5.00 p.m. CET on the working day on which the Customer received the Summary. In case of lack of the confirmation from the Customer within the prescribed period, the Contractor has the right to change the date of the Order execution, and the Customer shall confirm the change in the manner specified above for Summary confirmation.

To be effective, the consent must be made in writing.
Article 5. Order Execution
Order execution period starts from the date of accepting the Order by the Contractor, in accordance with Article 4.4 of the Regulations. Order execution period shall be calculated until the date on which the Goods are transferred for shipment or the Customer is notified of the Goods being ready for collection. Order execution period does not include the period of the Goods delivery to the Customer.
If the Order is executed using the materials supplied or selected by the Customer, the Contractor shall not be responsible for the suitability of the materials or for any possible defects and damage that may become apparent in the course of the production or after it.
When executing the Order using the materials supplied by the Customer, it is necessary to take into account the appropriate stock of the material. The size of the stock shall depend on the type of the Order, and the material to be used shall be indicated in each case by the Contractor. The Customer shall be responsible for the failure to deliver the material in the sufficient amount.
If the Customer provides the materials necessary for the execution of the Order, including correct Print Files, at a later date than the agreed date or the date of placing the Order, the Order completion date shall be postponed as indicated by the Contractor, taking into account the period of waiting for the materials and the sequence of production processes executed by the Contractor.
Any images of the materials for implementation of the Order provided in electronic form by the Contractor shall be merely exemplary and shall only be used to present specific models. Differences between the delivered Goods and transmitted images resulting from individual computer settings or settings of other devices used by the Customer (colour, proportions, etc.) cannot be the basis for the Goods complaint.
The Contractor shall not be liable for deviations from the colours desired by the Customer if the Customer did not provide a colour template, i.e. cromalin or other reliable printout (digital proof), when placing the Order.
When placing another Order based on the same Print Files it is required to provide the colour pattern once again. In the event of a failure to provide the colour pattern before printing of the Goods, the applicable provisions of the paragraph above hereof shall apply.
The Goods including large format printing, when ready for shipment, are normally folded, except for the Goods printed on film, which are normally rolled up or wound onto a core. If the Customer orders custom packaging method, it is necessary for the Customer to send a detailed description of the packaging in the Order, for which the Contractor shall be entitled to charge additional fees.
If the Contractor cannot execute the Order in whole or in part due to the fact that the Goods or materials for their preparation are not available, or the Goods have been damaged or lost, or due to other unforeseen circumstances, the Contractor shall immediately notify the Customer and reimburse the payment received, or perform a substitute service – at the Customer’s discretion and with the Customer’s consent.
Article 6. Order Collection and Shipment
After executing the Order, the Goods are (i) transferred for shipment using the carrier from the list of carriers the Contractor cooperates with, or (ii) available for collection at the address of the Contractor (this also applies to the collection of Goods by the carriers provided by the Customer), in accordance with the accepted Order. The Contractor shall notify the Customer about the transfer of the Goods for shipment or their availability for collection.
If the Goods are sent using the carrier from the list of entities that the Contractor cooperates with, the carrier is selected by the Customer. The Contractor is entitled to limit the list of carriers.
The risk of accidental loss or damage to the Goods passes to the Customer at the moment of handing over the Goods to the carrier. The Goods may be insured for the period of transport at the expense of the Customer provided that it is possible to insure the shipment of specific Goods.
If the Goods delivered to the Customer by the carrier are incomplete, damaged or in a damaged packaging, the Customer shall prepare with the carrier a written damage report at the moment of the Goods delivery to the Customer. The lack of the written report can be the grounds for the refusal to accept the complaint submitted by the Customer.
If the Customer provides an incorrect or incomplete delivery address which makes the Goods delivery impossible, the Contractor shall not be liable for non-delivery on time or no delivery at all. The Contractor shall notify the Customer about the unsuccessful attempt to deliver the Goods immediately after being informed by the carrier. In the case described in the first sentence, the Contractor shall send the Goods again only after the acceptance of the additional cost by the Customer.
The delay in the Goods shipment at the request or due to the Customer’s fault, or the delay in the collection of the Goods available at the registered office of the Contractor (including the case referred to in Article 7.6 of the Regulations) shall be understood as the Customer’s acceptance of leaving the Goods in the possession of the Contractor. Storing of the Goods shall last no longer than 14 days and shall take place at the risk of the Customer, and the Contractor may charge the Customer with the cost of storage which is 10% of the contract, regardless of the storage period.
The Goods available for collection by the Customer may be collected on weekdays between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. at the registered office of the Contractor.
Article 7. Payments
