In the case of a verbal complaint communicated by telephone or by using other electronic communications services, the copy must be sent to the consumer at the latest within 30 days - in accordance with the provisions regarding the response to written complaints - simultaneously with the substantive response. Otherwise, it is obliged to proceed regarding the written complaint as follows. The written complaint to the business - unless otherwise provided by a directly applicable legal act of the European Union - upon its receipt within thirty days, is obliged to respond in writing in a verifiable manner and take action to communicate the same. A shorter deadline may be established by legislation and a longer deadline by an act. The business is obliged to justify its position rejecting the complaint. The business is obliged to provide a verbal complaint communicated over the phone or by means of electronic communications service with a unique identification number. The response must inform the Customer of the possibility of turning to the Conciliation Board.
The minutes taken of the complaint must include the following:

The information must also include the seat, telephone and internet contact details, and mailing address of the competent authority and the conciliation body competent for the consumer's place of residence or stay. The information must also cover whether the business uses the conciliation body procedure in order to resolve the consumer dispute. If any consumer dispute between the Seller and the consumer is not resolved during the negotiations, the following enforcement options are available to the consumer:
Consumer protection procedure
Complaints can be lodged with the consumer protection authorities. If the consumer detects a violation of their consumer rights, they are entitled to file a complaint with the competent consumer protection authority based on their place of residence. Following the assessment of the complaint, the authority will decide on the initiation of consumer protection proceedings. First-instance consumer protection authority tasks are performed by the metropolitan and county government offices competent according to the consumer's place of residence, a list of which can be found here: http://www.kormanyhivatal.hu/
Court proceeding
The customer is entitled to enforce their claim arising from a consumer dispute before a court within the framework of civil proceedings in accordance with the provisions of Act V of 2013 on the Civil Code and Act CXXX of 2016 on the Code of Civil Procedure.
Conciliation body procedure
We inform you that you may lodge a consumer complaint against us. If your consumer complaint is rejected, you are also entitled to turn to the Conciliation Body competent according to your place of residence or stay: a condition for initiating the procedure of the conciliation body is that the consumer attempts to settle the disputed matter directly with the business concerned. The procedure—based on the consumer's request to this effect—shall fall under the jurisdiction of the conciliation body designated in the consumer's request instead of the competent body.
The business is subject to an obligation to cooperate in the conciliation body procedure.
In this context, businesses are subject to the conciliation body's call to obligation to submit a statement of defense, furthermore, it is recorded as an obligation before the conciliation body publication obligation („ensuring the participation of a person authorized to create a settlement at the hearing”).
If the registered office or branch of the business is not registered in the county corresponding to the chamber operating the territorially competent conciliation body, the business's obligation to cooperate extends to offering the possibility of concluding a written agreement in accordance with the consumer's claim; participation in the conciliation body meeting is not mandatory provided that the document containing the settlement offer is sent in writing.
In the event of a breach of the above cooperation obligation, the consumer protection authority has jurisdiction, based on which, as a result of the legislative amendment, in the event of unlawful conduct by businesses mandatory imposition of a fine to be applied, there is no possibility of waiving the fine. In addition to the Consumer Protection Act, the relevant provision of the Act on Small and Medium-sized Enterprises has also been amended, so the imposition of a fine cannot be omitted in the case of small and medium-sized enterprises either.
For small and medium-sized enterprises, the fine can range from 15,000 forints to 500,000 forints, while for non-small and medium-sized enterprises subject to the Accounting Act with an annual net turnover exceeding 100 million forints, it can range from 15,000 forints up to 5% of the enterprise's annual net turnover, but up to a maximum of 500 million forints. By introducing the mandatory fine, the legislator aims to emphasize cooperation with conciliation boards and ensure the active participation of businesses in the conciliation board procedure.
The conciliation body has jurisdiction for the out-of-court settlement of consumer disputes. The task of the conciliation body is to attempt to create an agreement between the parties for the purpose of settling the consumer dispute, and in the event of this being unsuccessful, it shall make a decision in the case in order to ensure the simple, fast, effective, and cost-efficient enforcement of consumer rights. At the request of the consumer or the enterprise, the conciliation body provides advice regarding the rights due to the consumer and the obligations burdening the consumer.
The procedure of the conciliation board is initiated upon the consumer's request. The request must be submitted in writing to the president of the conciliation board; the requirement of writing may also be fulfilled by means of a letter, telegram, teletypewriter, or telefax, as well as by any other means that enables the recipient to store the data addressed to them for a period of time appropriate to the purpose of the data, and to display the stored data in an unchanged form and content. The application must contain
The application must be accompanied by the document, or a copy (extract) thereof, the content of which the consumer relies upon as evidence, in particular the written statement of the business concerning the rejection of the complaint, or in the absence thereof, any other written evidence available to the consumer regarding the attempted mandatory consultation.
If the consumer acts through an authorized representative, the power of attorney must be attached to the request.

Based on the Consumer Protection Act, with regard to the Conciliation Board procedure, a consumer also qualifies as a civil organization, ecclesiastical legal entity, condominium, housing cooperative, and micro-, small-, or medium-sized enterprise acting for purposes outside its independent profession and economic activity, according to a separate law on sales contracts, which buys, orders, receives, uses, or utilizes goods, or is the addressee of commercial communications or offers related to the goods.
The Conciliation Board is authorized to inspect and examine the existence of consumer quality. The procedural rules set forth below under Conciliation Board shall apply.
The European Commission has created a website where consumers can register, enabling them to resolve their online shopping-related legal disputes through a filled-out application, thus avoiding court proceedings. This allows consumers to enforce their rights without being hindered by factors such as distance.

On the portal, you and the merchant against whom you have filed a complaint can jointly select the dispute resolution body you wish to entrust with handling the complaint.
The online dispute resolution platform is available here: https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/odr/main/?event=main.home.show&lng=HU

After selecting the Goods, you can click on the "Add to Cart" button to place any number of Goods in the cart without incurring any obligation to purchase or pay, as placing them in the cart does not constitute an offer.
We suggest putting items in your cart even if you're not sure you want to buy them, because this way you can easily see at a glance which items you've selected, and view and compare them all on one screen. You can change the contents of your cart freely until you finalize your order by clicking the "Complete Order" button – you can remove items from the cart, add new ones, or change the quantity of any item whenever you like.
When you add the selected item to your cart, a separate window will pop up saying, 'The product has been successfully added to your cart!' If you don't want to select any more items, click on the 'View Cart' button! If you want to look at the selected item again or add another item to your cart, click on the 'Continue Shopping' button!
While using the website, you can check the contents of your cart anytime by clicking on the "Cart" icon at the top of the page. Here, you can remove selected items from the cart or change the quantity of the items.
If you don't want to select any more of your items and put them in the cart, you can continue shopping by pressing the 'Checkout' button.
After clicking the 'Checkout' button, you'll see the contents of your cart and the total price you'll need to pay if you decide to buy the items you've selected. In the 'Delivery Method' box, you need to indicate whether you want to pick up the items yourself (personal pickup) or have them delivered. If you choose delivery, the system will show the delivery fee, which you'll need to pay when placing your order.
In the 'Contact Information' box, you can enter your email address, and in the 'Shipping Address' box, you can enter your full name, address, and phone number. If you chose a Package Point on the 'Cart' page, the address of the selected package point will appear here.

If you have confirmed that the contents of your cart match the products you want to order and that your information is correct, you can complete your order by clicking the 'Finalize Order' button. The information on the website does not constitute an offer to conclude a contract from the Seller. For orders subject to these Terms and Conditions, you are considered the offeror.
By clicking the 'Finalize Order' button, you explicitly acknowledge that your offer will be considered made, and your statement – if confirmed by the Seller according to these Terms and Conditions – will create a payment obligation. Your offer is binding for 48 hours. If the Seller does not confirm your offer within 48 hours according to these general terms and conditions, you will be released from the obligation of the offer.
You can place an order at any time. The Seller will confirm your offer by email no later than the next business day after you send it. The contract is formed when the confirmation email sent by the Seller becomes accessible in your email inbox.
If the Buyer does not take delivery of the ordered goods and also does not notify the Seller of their intention to withdraw within 14 days without giving a reason as allowed by law, they are breaking the contract with the Seller, which means they are obligated to accept the goods and thereby acknowledge that the Seller has fulfilled their part. In this case, the Seller will try to arrange the resale delivery of the Goods, if it can coordinate this with the Buyer, but the repeated delivery may be subject to payment of a delivery fee. If the repeated delivery is unsuccessful, or it cannot be coordinated with the Buyer because the Buyer refuses to cooperate, the Seller is entitled to terminate the contract with the Buyer immediately due to breach of contract and to enforce the costs of the unsuccessful delivery and return as a penalty against the Buyer. The parties agree to use the email address provided by the Buyer at the time of the order as the means of communication for contract termination and acknowledge that the time of notification is the time when the termination letter becomes accessible in the Buyer’s email inbox.
In the online store, you can pay using the Stripe payment solution.

The user must transfer the payment for the ordered products to the bank account listed in the confirmation email within 3 days. Once the amount is credited to the service provider's account, the user is entitled to receive the product(s) in the manner they choose.
We provide detailed information about the delivery methods and their fees on the Shipping tab.
The general delivery time for the order is a maximum of 21 days from the confirmation of the order. If the Seller is late, the Buyer has the right to set an additional deadline. If the Seller doesn't meet this additional deadline, the Buyer has the right to cancel the contract.
If you previously ordered Goods and didn’t accept them upon delivery (not including cases where you exercised your right of withdrawal), or the Goods were returned to the seller marked as 'unclaimed,' the Seller requires payment of the purchase price and shipping costs in advance before fulfilling the order.
The seller can hold off on handing over the Goods until they are sure that the payment for the Goods has gone through successfully using the electronic payment method (including cases where the Buyer pays by bank transfer in their own currency, and due to conversion and bank fees, the seller doesn’t receive the full amount of the price and shipping fee). If the full price of the Goods hasn’t been paid, the seller can ask the Buyer to make up the difference.
The Seller does not differentiate between Buyers using the Website within Hungary and those within the European Union outside of it. Unless this GTC states otherwise, the Seller provides delivery/pick-up of the ordered Goods within Hungary.
The provisions of this Terms and Conditions also apply to purchases outside Hungary, with the understanding that, under the relevant regulation, for the purposes of this section, a buyer is considered a consumer if they are a citizen of any member state, or have a residence in any member state, or if it is a business that has an establishment in any member state and purchases goods or uses services within the European Union solely for personal use, or acts with that intention. A consumer is defined as a natural person who acts for purposes outside their commercial, industrial, craft, or professional activities.
The language for communication and purchasing is primarily Hungarian; the Seller is not required to communicate with the Buyer in the Buyer's member state language.
The Seller is not obliged to comply with any non-contractual requirements under the national law of the Buyer's member state regarding the Goods, such as labeling or sector-specific requirements, or to inform the Buyer about these requirements.
Unless the Seller says otherwise, Hungarian VAT applies to all Goods.
The Buyer can exercise their legal rights according to these GTC.
When using an electronic payment solution, the payment is made in the currency specified by the Seller,
The Seller can hold off on handing over the Goods until they are sure that the payment for the Goods and the shipping fee has been successfully and fully completed using the electronic payment method (this includes cases where the Buyer pays for the Goods by transfer in their own currency, and due to conversion and bank fees, the Seller doesn’t get the full amount). If the full payment hasn’t been made, the Seller can ask the Buyer to make up the difference.
The Seller provides the delivery options available to Hungarian Buyers to non-Hungarian Buyers as well.
If the Buyer can request the delivery of the Goods to Hungary according to the Terms and Conditions, or to any other European Union member state, a non-Hungarian buyer can also request this using any delivery method specified in the Terms and Conditions.
If the Buyer can choose to pick up the Goods in person from the Seller according to the Terms and Conditions, a Buyer from outside Hungary can also take advantage of this.
Otherwise, the Buyer can request to arrange delivery of the Goods abroad at their own expense. Hungarian Buyers do not have this right.
The Seller will fulfill the order after the shipping fee is paid. If the Buyer doesn't pay the shipping fee to the Seller or doesn't arrange their own shipping by the agreed-upon date, the Seller will cancel the contract and refund the prepaid purchase price to the Buyer.
According to Section 8:1, Paragraph 1, Point 3 of the Civil Code, a consumer is only a natural person acting outside the scope of their profession, independent occupation, or business activity, so legal entities cannot exercise the right of withdrawal without reason!
The consumer is entitled to the right of withdrawal without reason according to Government Decree 45/2014 (II. 26.), Section 20. The consumer may exercise their right of withdrawal
may exercise this right within the period calculated from the date on which the consumer, or a third party designated by the consumer other than the carrier, takes possession of the goods, which period is 14 calendar days.
Nothing in this section affects the consumer's right to exercise the right of withdrawal specified here during the period between the contract date and the day they receive the Goods.
If the consumer made an offer to conclude the contract, the consumer has the right to withdraw the offer before the contract is concluded, which cancels the obligation to keep the offer open for concluding the contract.
The consumer can exercise the right provided in Section 20 of Government Decree 45/2014 (II. 26.) through a clear statement for this purpose, or by using the declaration template that can also be downloaded from the website.
The right of withdrawal should be considered validly exercised if the consumer sends their statement within the deadline.
In case of withdrawal or termination in writing, it's enough to send the withdrawal or termination statement within the deadline.
It’s up to the consumer to prove that they exercised the right of withdrawal in accordance with this provision.
The Seller is required to confirm the consumer's withdrawal statement on an electronic medium after it has been received.
The Seller's refund obligation
If the consumer withdraws from the contract in accordance with Section 22 of Government Decree 45/2014 (II. 26.), the Seller will refund the amount paid by the consumer for the products within fourteen days from the date of becoming aware of the withdrawal. If the product has not yet been dispatched at the time of withdrawal, this also includes the shipping fee.
How the Seller Handles Refunds
In the case of withdrawal or termination under Section 22 of Government Decree 45/2014 (II. 26.), the Seller will refund the amount owed to the consumer using the same payment method that the consumer used. With the consumer's explicit consent, the Seller may use a different payment method for the refund, but the consumer will not incur any additional fees because of this. The Seller is not responsible for delays caused by the consumer providing incorrect and/or inaccurate bank account numbers or postal addresses.
Right of Retention
The Seller may withhold the amount due to the consumer until the consumer has returned the Goods or has conclusively proven that they have sent them back; the earlier of the two dates shall be considered. We cannot accept shipments sent by cash on delivery or postage-paid mail.
Returning the Goods
If the consumer withdraws from the contract in accordance with Section 22 of Government Decree 45/2014 (II. 26.), they must return the Goods immediately, but no later than fourteen days from the date of notifying the withdrawal, either by sending them back or handing them over to the Seller or to a person authorized by the Seller to receive the Goods. The return is considered on time if the consumer sends the Goods before the deadline.
Covering Direct Costs Related to Returning Goods
The consumer bears the direct costs of returning the goods. The goods must be sent back to the Seller’s address. If the consumer cancels a contract concluded outside of business premises or at a distance - regarding the provision of services - after the commencement of performance, they are obliged to pay the business a fee proportional to the services performed up to the time the cancellation is communicated. The amount the consumer must pay proportionally should be determined based on the total consideration specified in the contract, including taxes. If the consumer proves that the total amount determined in this way is excessively high, the proportional amount should be calculated based on the market value of the services provided up to the termination of the contract. Please note that we cannot accept goods returned with cash on delivery or postage due.
Consumer responsibility for depreciation
The consumer is responsible for depreciation resulting from use that exceeds what is necessary to determine the nature, characteristics, and operation of the Goods.
If the applicable laws state that the right of withdrawal cannot be exercised, or can only be exercised under certain conditions, the Buyer is also not entitled to use it for trial purposes.
The Seller specifically draws your attention to the fact that you cannot exercise your right of withdrawal in the cases set out in Section 29 (1) of Government Decree 45/2014 (II.26.):
This point of the consumer information was prepared based on the authorization of Section 9 (3) of Government Decree 45/2014 (II.26.), taking into account Annex 3 of Government Decree 45/2014 (II.26.)
The Consumer Information applies only to Buyers who qualify as consumers, while the rules for buyers who are not considered consumers are covered in a separate chapter.
Requirements for proper contract performance in the case of goods sold under a consumer contract, including goods with digital elements
The goods and the performance must comply with the requirements set out in Government Decree 373/2021 (VI.30.) at the time of fulfillment.
For the goods covered by the contract to be considered as properly delivered
In order for the performance to be considered contractual – furthermore – for the Goods covered by the contract
The Goods do not have to meet the above public statement if the Seller proves that
Requirements for proper contractual performance in the sale of goods under a consumer contract
The Seller is considered to have performed incorrectly if the defect of the product arises from improper installation, provided that
If, according to the sales contract, the Seller installs the goods, or the installation takes place under the Seller's responsibility, the performance should be considered completed by the Seller once the installation is finished.
If in the case of goods containing digital elements the sales contract provides for the continuous supply of digital content or a digital service for a specified period, the Seller is responsible for any defect in the goods related to the digital content, if the defect occurs or becomes noticeable within two years for continuous supply lasting no more than two years from the delivery of the goods.
Requirements for proper performance in the case of goods containing digital elements sold under a consumer contract
For goods containing digital elements, the seller must ensure that the consumer is notified about updates to the digital content of the goods or related digital services – including security updates – that are necessary to maintain the conformity of the goods, and must also ensure that the consumer actually receives them.
The Seller making the update available, if the sales contract
If the consumer does not install the provided updates within a reasonable time, the Seller is not responsible for defects in the goods if they arise solely from not applying the relevant update, provided that
A faulty performance cannot be established if, when concluding the contract, the consumer was specifically informed that a certain property of the goods differs from what is described here, and the consumer explicitly accepted this difference when making the purchase.
When can you exercise your warranty rights?
If the Seller performs defectively, you can assert warranty claims against the Seller in accordance with the Civil Code, and in the case of a consumer contract, according to Government Decree 373/2021 (VI.30.).
What rights do you have under a warranty claim?
You can – at your choice – make use of the following warranty claims:
You can ask for a repair or replacement, unless fulfilling the option you chose is impossible or would cause the Seller unreasonable extra costs compared to fulfilling another option. If you didn’t ask for a repair or replacement, or couldn’t ask for one, you can request a proportional reduction in the payment, or – as a last resort – you can also withdraw from the contract.
You can switch from your chosen warranty right to another one, but you’ll have to cover the cost of the switch, unless it was justified or the Seller caused it.
In the case of a consumer contract, it must be presumed, unless proven otherwise, that a defect discovered within one year from the time of delivery of the goods or goods containing digital elements already existed at the time of delivery, except if this presumption is incompatible with the nature of the goods or the type of defect.
In the case of used goods, the warranty and guarantee rights are generally different from the usual rules. Used goods can also be considered defective, but you have to take into account circumstances where the buyer could expect certain defects to occur. Due to wear and tear, some defects become increasingly common, so it can't be assumed that a used item would have the same quality as a newly purchased one. Based on this, the buyer can only enforce warranty rights for defects that go beyond those naturally arising from being used and that occurred independently of them. If the used item is defective and the buyer, classified as a consumer, was informed of this at the time of purchase, the provider is not responsible for the known defect.
The Seller can refuse to make the goods conform to the contract if repair or replacement is impossible, or if it would result in disproportionate additional costs for the Seller, taking into account all circumstances, including the value of the goods when they were in perfect condition and the seriousness of the breach of contract.
The consumer is still entitled – in line with the severity of the breach – to request a proportionate reduction of the payment or to cancel the sales contract if
If the consumer wants to cancel the sales contract citing faulty performance, it's up to the Seller to prove that the defect is minor.
The Consumer has the right to withhold the remaining part of the purchase price – depending on the severity of the breach of contract – partly or entirely until the Seller fulfills their obligations properly and deals with any faulty performance.
The general rule is that:
The reasonable time period for fixing or replacing the goods should be counted from the moment the Consumer reported the defect to the business.
The consumer has to make the goods available to the business so they can be repaired or replaced.
The delivery of the consideration is proportional if its amount equals the difference between the value of the goods the Consumer is entitled to under proper contract performance and the value of the goods actually received by the Consumer.
The Consumer's right to warranty for defects regarding the termination of a sales contract can be exercised with a legal statement addressed to the Seller, expressing the decision to terminate.
If the faulty performance only affects a specific part of the goods provided under the sales contract, and the conditions for exercising the right to terminate the contract are met for those goods, the Consumer can only terminate the sales contract with regard to the faulty goods, but they can also terminate it for any other goods obtained along with them if it is not reasonable to expect the Consumer to keep only the goods that comply with the contract.
If the Consumer terminates the sales contract in whole or in part regarding the goods provided under the sales contract, then
Within what deadline can you enforce your warranty claim?
You are required to report the defect immediately after discovering it. Any defect reported within two months from discovery should be considered as reported without delay. However, please note that you can no longer enforce your warranty rights after the two-year statute of limitations from the fulfillment of the contract.
The part of the repair time during which the Buyer cannot use the Goods as intended does not count towards the limitation period.
The statute of limitations for warranty claims starts again for the part of the goods that is repaired or replaced. This rule also applies if a new defect arises as a result of the repair.
If the contract between the consumer and the business is about a used item, the parties can agree on a shorter limitation period; however, a limitation period of less than one year still cannot be validly agreed upon in this case.
Against whom can you enforce your warranty claim?
You can enforce your warranty claim against the Seller.
What other conditions apply to enforcing your warranty rights?
Within one year from the performance, there are no other conditions for enforcing your warranty claim besides notifying the defect, as long as you can prove that the Seller provided the Goods. However, after one year from the performance, you are responsible for proving that the defect you noticed already existed at the time of performance.

General rules of warranty rights
A Buyer who is not considered a consumer may, at their discretion, exercise the following warranty claims:
You can ask for a repair or replacement, unless fulfilling the choice you made is impossible or would cause the Seller disproportionate extra costs compared to fulfilling another request. If you didn't request a repair or replacement, or couldn't request one, you can ask for a proportional discount on the payment, or the Buyer can repair the defect at the Seller's expense, have someone else fix it, or – as a last resort – withdraw from the contract.
You can switch from your chosen warranty right to another one, but you’ll have to cover the cost of the switch, unless it was justified or the Seller caused it.
In the case of used goods, the warranty and guarantee rights are generally different from the usual rules. Used goods can also be considered defective, but you have to take into account circumstances where the buyer could expect certain defects to occur. Due to wear and tear, some defects become increasingly common, so it can't be assumed that a used item would have the same quality as a newly purchased one. Based on this, the buyer can only enforce warranty rights for defects that go beyond those naturally arising from being used and that occurred independently of them. If the used item is defective and the buyer, classified as a consumer, was informed of this at the time of purchase, the provider is not responsible for the known defect.
For buyers who aren't considered consumers, the deadline for enforcing warranty rights is 1 year, starting from the day of delivery.
Product Warranty and Guarantee
Product warranty and the mandatory guarantee only apply to buyers classified as consumers.
If the Seller voluntarily provides a warranty for a given Product, this will be indicated separately when purchasing the Product.
If the manufacturer provides a warranty on the Goods that also covers buyers who are not consumers, it can be enforced directly with the manufacturer.
