SUMMARY OF YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
If your Track(s) is faulty, then you are entitled to a repair or a replacement. If the fault cannot be fixed or if you are unhappy with the fix, then you are entitled to a full or partial refund.
9. PRICE AND PAYMENT
9.1 The price of the Licence (which includes VAT) will be the price indicated on the order pages when you placed your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the Licence advised to you is correct. However, please see 9.3 for what happens if we discover an error in the price of the Licence you order. 9.2 If the rate of VAT changes between your order date and the date we supply the Licence, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay unless you have already paid for the Licence in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect. 9.3 It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Licences we sell may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your order so that, where the Licence’s correct price at your order date is less than our stated price at your order date, we will charge the lower amount. If the Licence’s correct price at your order date is higher than the price stated to you, we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your order.
10. OUR RESPONSIBILITY FOR LOSS OR DAMAGE SUFFERED BY YOU
10.1 We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, then we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this Contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill. We are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the Contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the sales process. 10.2 We are not liable for business losses. We only supply the Licences for domestic and private use. If you use the Licences for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose, then we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity. 10.3 We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors; for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; for breach of your legal rights in relation to the Tracks including the right to receive Track(s) which are as described and match information we provided to you and supplied with reasonable skill and care.
We will only use your personal information as set out in our Privacy Policy.
12. OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS
12.1 We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another organisation. We will contact you to let you know if we plan to do this. If you are unhappy with the transfer, then you may contact us to end the Contract within 30 days of us telling you about it, and we will refund you any payments you have made in advance for Track(s) not provided. 12.2 You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing. 12.3 This Contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms. 12.4 Each of the paragraphs of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining paragraphs will remain in full force and effect. 12.5 If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this Contract, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things, and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. 12.6 These terms are governed by Polish law and you can bring legal proceedings in respect of the Licences in the Polish courts.
