• The delivery time for customized Goods is 30 business days from the Order Confirmation and payment of the Total Price.

The Seller commits to making every effort to ensure that the Goods are delivered within the stated timeframe.

If the ordered Goods or a part of the Order cannot be delivered within the specified timeframe, the Seller will inform the Buyer as soon as possible and provide an estimated new delivery date or propose the delivery of a replacement product.

If the Seller is unable to secure the Goods even within an additional delivery period, the Buyer has the right to withdraw from the Purchase Agreement. If the Total Price (or part of it) has already been paid, the Seller will refund the Buyer within 30 days to the bank account designated by the Buyer.

7.2. The Seller acknowledges the possibility of delayed delivery due to circumstances beyond their control, such as:

• Force majeure,

• Power outages,

• Internet connection disruptions,

• Machine malfunctions at the Seller’s or supplier’s facility, etc.

If such a situation occurs, the Seller must immediately inform the Buyer. The Seller is not liable for delays caused by these external factors, and proving such circumstances exempts the Seller from legal consequences related to delivery delays.

7.3. If the Buyer selects a payment method other than Cash on Delivery (COD), the delivery period specified in Section 7.1 begins only after the Total Price is credited to the Seller’s account, provided that the Buyer has entered the correct payment reference number. If the wrong payment reference number is used, the delivery period begins only after the payment is correctly linked to the Buyer’s Order.

7.4. Each Goods item on the E-shop Website includes an estimated availability status.

If the Seller determines that an ordered Goods item is unavailable (even if it was previously marked as available), the Seller will inform the Buyer and offer the option to either split the Order or cancel it.

If the Total Price has already been paid, the Seller will refund the Buyer for the unavailable Goods.

7.5. If no specific packaging method is agreed upon, the Seller will package the Goods according to industry standards. If no standard exists, the Seller will use packaging necessary for the preservation and protection of the Goods.

7.6. The Seller’s obligation to deliver the Goods within the specified period is considered fulfilled on the day the shipment is dispatched.

The Seller’s delivery obligation is met when the Goods are handed over to the first carrier.

If the Buyer unreasonably refuses to accept the Goods or fails to collect the shipment according to the courier’s instructions and terms, this will not be considered a failure on the Seller’s part to deliver the Goods, nor will it be treated as withdrawal from the Purchase Agreement by the Buyer.

8.1. The place of delivery is the address specified by the Buyer in the Order as the delivery location.

9.1. The Buyer can select the delivery method during the ordering process.

9.2. The available delivery methods and the Shipping Price List are listed on the Website. The Total Price in the Order includes all costs associated with the selected shipping method.

9.3. The Shipping Price List applies only to standard shipments and when the entire Order is shipped as a single package. If the Order is split into multiple shipments, the total shipping cost may be higher. All shipping costs include VAT.

9.4. Free shipping is available for certain special Promotions. In such cases, it is not necessary to exceed the standard shipping threshold to qualify for free shipping. However, the same conditions apply, meaning delivery is limited to Slovakia and must be shipped as a single package.

10.1. The Seller’s obligation to deliver the Goods is fulfilled when the ordered Goods are:

• Handed over to the Buyer or an Authorized Person at the place of delivery, or

• Transferred to the first carrier for shipment.

The invoice (tax document), which also serves as a warranty certificate, will be sent to the Buyer’s email address provided in the Order or in the E-shop registration form, or it will be available in the Buyer’s profile.

10.2. The Buyer is obligated to accept the Goods at the agreed place and time, either personally or by ensuring that someone else accepts them.

10.3. The obligation to deliver the Goods is also considered fulfilled if the Buyer:

• Fails to collect the Goods at the agreed time and place, or

• Refuses to accept the Goods.

If the Buyer fails to accept the Goods and the package is returned to the Seller, the Seller has the right to withdraw from the Purchase Agreement and demand reimbursement for:

• Return shipping costs,

• Storage costs, and

• Any other costs incurred due to the Buyer’s failure to collect the Goods.

Re-delivery of the shipment is only possible by mutual agreement.

Storage fees:

• €0.50 per day (including VAT) or 15 CZK per day (including VAT), up to a maximum of €20 (including VAT) or 500 CZK (including VAT).

• If the Purchase Price is lower than €20 or 500 CZK, the storage fee cannot exceed the Purchase Price.

10.4. The Seller is not responsible for delayed delivery caused by the courier (Slovenská Pošta, courier services) or due to an incorrect delivery address provided by the Buyer.

The Buyer gains ownership of the Goods upon:

• Receiving them at the place of delivery, and

• Paying the Total Price in full.

Once the Goods are received, the Buyer also assumes the risk of accidental loss or damage.

10.5. Upon receiving the package, the Buyer is required to inspect it to check for:

• Any damage to the packaging (e.g., mechanical damage caused during transportation).

• Any visible defects in the Goods.

If the package or Goods are visibly damaged, the Buyer has the right to refuse acceptance of the shipment.

If the Buyer refuses to accept a package due to damaged packaging, this will not be considered an unjustified refusal to accept the Goods.

11.1. The details regarding the Buyer’s rights as a Consumer concerning liability for defects and the procedure for filing complaints are governed by the Complaints Policy, which forms an integral part of these Terms and Conditions.

11.2. Liability for defects in Goods, including warranty for quality, in business relationships between the Seller and a Buyer who is not a Consumer (under the Consumer Protection Act), is governed by the relevant provisions of the Commercial Code and the Complaint Protocol.

12.1. Under § 19 (1) in connection with § 20 (1)–(3) of the Consumer Protection Act, a Buyer who is a Consumer has the right to withdraw from the Purchase Agreement within 14 days from the date of receiving the Goods, without providing any reason.

This right is exercised in accordance with the Consumer’s Right of Withdrawal Policy, published on the Seller’s Website.

However, under § 19 (1) of the Consumer Protection Act, the Buyer cannot withdraw from the Purchase Agreement in cases where the Goods are:

• Manufactured according to the Buyer’s specifications, or

• Custom-made.

Cases where the Buyer is not entitled to withdraw from the agreement are outlined in the Consumer’s Right of Withdrawal Policy.

12.2. The withdrawal notice must include:

• Buyer’s full name,

• Email address,

• Bank account details for the refund.

For legal certainty and to ensure proof of withdrawal, the Buyer is advised to send the withdrawal notice by:

• Postal mail to the Seller’s address:

12.3. If the Buyer submits the withdrawal notice via email or an online form, the Seller is obligated to send the Buyer an email confirmation acknowledging the receipt of the withdrawal request.

By withdrawing from the Purchase Agreement, the agreement is canceled from the beginning.

12.5. After the Buyer withdraws from the Purchase Agreement, the Seller is required to:

12.5.1. Take back the Goods, with the Buyer obligated to send the Goods to the Seller’s address. The Buyer is advised to send the Goods as a registered parcel.

• Cash-on-delivery returns are not accepted; the Seller reserves the right to refuse such shipments.

• A copy of the invoice (tax document) must be included in the package.

12.5.2. Refund the Buyer all payments received under the Purchase Agreement without undue delay, but no later than 14 days from receiving the withdrawal notice.

12.6. The Seller is not obligated to refund additional costs if the Buyer has chosen a delivery method other than the cheapest standard shipping option offered by the Seller.

Additional costs refer to the difference between the cost of the Buyer’s chosen delivery method and the cost of the Seller’s cheapest standard delivery option.

12.7. The Seller reserves the right to withhold the refund until the Buyer returns the Goods or provides proof of shipment to the Seller.

If the returned Goods are damaged or have decreased in value due to handling beyond what is necessary to determine their nature, characteristics, and functionality, the Seller will refund the Purchase Price minus compensation for the damage.

The Seller’s claim for compensation will be offset against the Buyer’s refund.

The remaining refund amount (after deducting any damages) will be transferred to the Buyer’s bank account, unless otherwise agreed.

12.8. The Buyer is obligated to return the Goods to the Seller no later than 14 days after withdrawing from the Purchase Agreement.

This deadline is considered met if the Goods are handed over to the carrier on or before the last day of the 14-day period.

The Buyer bears the cost of returning the Goods to the Seller.

12.9. The Seller is entitled to withdraw from the Purchase Agreement in the following cases:

12.9.1. If the Buyer fails to pay the Total Price within 30 days from the Order Confirmation when paying by bank transfer.

12.9.2. If the Buyer does not cancel the Order or withdraw from the agreement under Section 12 but fails to collect the ordered Goods from the courier, designated pickup location, or postal office within the given collection period.

12.9.3. If, despite the Seller’s best efforts, the ordered Goods cannot be delivered because they are:

• Out of stock,

• No longer manufactured, or

• No longer supplied, and the Seller is unable to source them from alternative suppliers.

12.9.4. If there is a significant change in the purchase price of the Goods from the Seller’s supplier.

• An email notification is sufficient for withdrawal.

• The Seller will refund the Purchase Price within 14 days of withdrawal via bank transfer, unless otherwise agreed.

12.11. The Seller’s withdrawal from the Purchase Agreement does not affect the Seller’s right to claim compensation for costs incurred due to an unsuccessful delivery attempt.

14.1. If the Buyer is dissatisfied with the handling of their Order, the delivered Goods, or the Seller’s services, they are entitled to submit any questions or complaints via email to the Seller at: complaints@merchyou.com.

If the Seller does not resolve the complaint to the Buyer’s satisfaction, or if the Buyer believes their rights have been violated, they are entitled, under the Consumer Dispute Alternative Resolution Act, to initiate an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) process.

14.2. Alternative dispute resolution can only be used by a Consumer (a natural person) who, when entering into and fulfilling the consumer Purchase Agreement, is not acting in the course of their business, employment, or profession.
