§9
Section 9 Promotions, Discount Codes, and Loyalty Programme
- The Seller may periodically offer promotions on selected Products or groups of Products. Information about current promotions, their scope, and validity period will be published on the Store's main page or in thematic sections (e.g., in the "Promotions" tab). Each promotion has specified terms (e.g., discount amount, minimum Order value, duration). Unless otherwise stated, promotions in the Store cannot be combined with each other (the Customer cannot use multiple promotions simultaneously for the same Product or Order). Where a given Product is covered by more than one promotion, the Customer may only benefit from one promotion of their choice.
- The Seller may provide Customers with Discount codes entitling them to a specific discount (fixed amount or percentage) when purchasing Products. The terms of use of a given code (in particular: validity period, minimum Order value, range of products covered by the discount, single or multiple use) will be determined by the Seller on each occasion and communicated to the Customer together with the code (e.g., in promotional materials or an email). To use a discount code, the Customer should enter it in the appropriate field when placing the Order (in the Cart or Order form). If the code is valid and active, the Order value will be automatically recalculated to reflect the discount granted.
- Unless otherwise specified, a discount code: (a) cannot be exchanged for a cash equivalent; (b) cannot be combined with another discount code within a single Order; (c) may be used once by one Customer (unless the promotion terms provide otherwise). In the event of withdrawal from the contract (Product return) for a purchase made using a discount code, the refund to the Customer shall be in the amount actually paid (after applying the discount). The discount code shall then be deemed used (it will not be reinstated), unless the individual promotion terms provide otherwise.
- The Seller reserves the right to end a promotion early or invalidate a discount code in the event of exhaustion of stocks of Products covered by the promotion, changes in legal circumstances, or the occurrence of significant economic reasons - provided that this does not infringe upon rights already acquired by Customers. Information about any early termination of a promotion shall be provided in the same manner as the promotion was announced (e.g., on the Store's website).
- Lowest price information (Omnibus). In accordance with Article 4(2) of the Polish Act of 9 May 2014 on informing about prices of goods and services (implementing EU Directive 2019/2161, the "Omnibus Directive"), whenever the price of a Product is reduced, the Seller displays next to the current (reduced) price information about the lowest price of that Product which was in effect during the 30 days preceding the introduction of the reduction. If a given Product has been offered for sale for less than 30 days, the Seller displays the lowest price in effect from the start of sale of that Product until the introduction of the reduction. This information is shown on the Product page, on the Product listing in the Store and in advertising materials featuring the price.
- Loyalty programme. The Seller reserves the possibility of introducing a loyalty programme for Customers in the future (e.g., a points system for purchases entitling holders to discounts or rewards). The detailed terms of the loyalty programme will be announced separately if such a programme is launched. Until the loyalty programme is implemented, this provision is informational only and does not grant Customers any additional rights.
§10
Section 10 Product Reviews and Opinions
- The Store allows Customers who have purchased a Product to submit opinions (reviews) concerning the purchased Product. Submitting an opinion is voluntary and free of charge.
- Review verification ("verified purchaser"). In accordance with Article 12(1)(10) of the Polish Consumer Rights Act (implementing EU Directive 2019/2161, the "Omnibus Directive"), the Seller applies a procedure ensuring that published reviews come from Consumers who have actually used or purchased the given Product. This procedure consists in verifying whether the email address of the person submitting the review is present in the database of completed Orders covering that Product. Every published review is labelled as originating from a verified purchaser.
- Moderation. The Seller reserves the right to moderate reviews before publication. Removed reviews include those containing: unlawful content, vulgarity or offensive comments, personal data of third parties, advertising of other products, unreliable content (e.g., concerning a Product that the author has not purchased) and content suggesting that Trichovita cosmetic Products have medicinal properties (which would be inconsistent with EU cosmetic law, Regulation (EC) 1223/2009).
- The Seller neither publishes nor commissions the publication of false reviews (whether positive or negative) concerning Products, this is prohibited under Article 7(23b) of the Polish Act on Combating Unfair Commercial Practices.
- The reviewer's data (first name/pseudonym, optional information on hair type and duration of use) and the review text are published on the Product page. The Customer's email address is not published, it is used solely for verification purposes. Details of data processing in connection with reviews are set out in the Privacy Policy.
- The Customer may at any time request removal of their review by contacting the Seller (Section 3).
§11
Section 11 Right of Withdrawal from the Contract (Product Return)
- Right of withdrawal for the Consumer, extended to 30 days. A Customer who is a Consumer has the right to withdraw from the concluded Product Sales Agreement within 30 calendar days without giving any reason. This period is voluntarily extended by the Seller beyond the statutory minimum of 14 days (Article 27 of the Polish Consumer Rights Act). The withdrawal period expires after 30 days from the day on which the Consumer or a third party designated by the Consumer (other than the carrier) took physical possession of the Product.

Once paid, the label is automatically generated and sent to the Consumer's email address.
- Self-shipping, the Consumer may send the Product back themselves using any carrier of their choice (e.g., InPost Parcel Locker, InPost Courier, DPD, DHL, Poczta Polska, UPS or another courier), paying for the label / shipment directly with that operator.

The refund does not include return shipping costs, which are always borne by the Consumer.
- The Consumer shall only be liable for any diminished value of the Product resulting from handling it beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics, and functioning of the Product (i.e., beyond actions that the Consumer could perform in a physical store before purchasing, e.g., inspecting the goods). If the Consumer returns a Product that has been used excessively beyond the aforementioned scope, the Seller has the right to deduct from the refund amount an amount corresponding to the diminished value of the Product.
- Exceptions to the right of withdrawal. The right of withdrawal from a distance contract does not apply to the Consumer in respect of contracts:

- The above provisions (points 1-8) shall apply accordingly to a Customer who is a natural person conducting business activity, where the contract they enter into with the Seller is directly related to their business activity but does not have a professional character for them (in accordance with Section 1, point 3 above).

§12
Section 12 Complaints (Warranty for Defects)
- Basis and scope of the Seller's liability. The Seller is obliged to deliver a Product free from physical and legal defects to the Customer. The Seller is liable to the Customer if the sold Product has a defect constituting non-conformity with the contract within the meaning of applicable provisions (in particular Articles 556 et seq. of the Civil Code and - with respect to Consumers - the provisions of the Consumer Rights Act regarding conformity of goods with the contract).
- Liability towards the Consumer. Towards the Customer who is a Consumer (as well as a natural person with consumer rights, as referred to in Section 10, point 9), the Seller is liable for the lack of conformity of the Product with the contract, existing at the time of delivery and revealed within 2 years from that time (unless the Product's use-by date indicated on the packaging is longer - in which case the Seller is liable for the conformity of the goods with the contract for such longer period). It is presumed that the lack of conformity that was revealed within 2 years of delivery of the Product to the Consumer existed at the time of delivery - the Seller may rebut this presumption only if it is inconsistent with the nature of the Product or the type of lack of conformity.
- Consumer complaint rights. If the Product is not in conformity with the contract (has a physical or legal defect), the Consumer may file a complaint requesting:
- repair of the Product or replacement with a new, defect-free one - at their choice; the Seller may make a replacement when the Consumer requests repair, or make a repair when the Consumer requests replacement, if bringing the Product into conformity with the contract in the manner chosen by the Consumer is impossible or would require excessive costs for the Seller (when assessing the excessiveness of costs, account is taken of, among other things, the value of the Product free from defects, the type and significance of the non-conformity, and the inconvenience to the Consumer associated with a change in the method of achieving conformity);
- a price reduction (proportionate to the degree of diminished value of the Product) or - where the defect is significant - withdrawal from the contract (refund). The Consumer may not withdraw from the contract if the defect is insignificant. However, the right to request a price reduction or withdrawal from the contract is available only after the Consumer has first requested the Seller to repair or replace the Product and the Seller: refused to bring the goods into conformity with the contract, or failed to do so within a reasonable time or without excessive inconvenience to the Consumer, or where the circumstances indicate that the Seller will not be able to do so within a reasonable time or without excessive inconvenience.
- Complaint procedure. Complaints regarding Products or the provision of electronic services by the Seller may be submitted:
- in writing to the Seller's postal address (Section 3, paragraph 1);
- by email to the Seller's electronic address (Section 3, paragraph 2);
- via a complaint form, if one has been made available by the Seller on the Store's website.
It is recommended that the complaint contain as much information and circumstances regarding the subject of the complaint as possible, in particular a description of the defect/non-conformity, the date of its occurrence or discovery, the details of the Customer filing the complaint, and the requested method of resolving the complaint (repair, replacement, price reduction, withdrawal from the contract, other). This will facilitate and expedite the processing of the complaint by the Seller.
- If the complaint concerns a Product, it is recommended that the complained Product be delivered or sent (if possible, with proof of purchase or a copy thereof) to the Seller's address provided in Section 3, paragraph 1. It is advisable to properly secure the returned Product to prevent damage during transport.
- The Seller shall respond to the Customer's complaint without delay, the Seller commits to respond within 7 business days of receiving the complaint (this is shorter than the statutory deadline). The maximum statutory deadline is 14 calendar days and applies in case of circumstances requiring longer analysis (e.g. need to obtain external expertise). Failure by the Seller to respond within 14 days means that the Seller has accepted the complaint as justified (this applies to complaints submitted by Consumers).
- Where the complaint is accepted as justified, the Seller shall take appropriate action to fulfil the Customer's request in accordance with their rights (repair or replace the Product, reduce the price, or refund the payment in the event of withdrawal from the contract). Refund of the payment to the Customer (in whole or in part) shall be made without delay - in the case of a Consumer, no later than within 14 days of accepting the complaint.
- The Customer shall receive information about the outcome of the complaint in the same manner in which the complaint was submitted, or in another manner chosen by the Customer (e.g., by email or text message).
- Manufacturer's warranty. Independently of the rights under the warranty for defects (non-conformity with the contract), some Products may be covered by a warranty granted by the manufacturer or distributor. Where a warranty has been granted for a Product, information about it (warranty terms, warranty rights) is available in the Product description in the Store or in the warranty document included with the Product. Exercising warranty rights is at the Customer's discretion - they may pursue claims under the warranty directly from the guarantor (manufacturer) or exercise their rights against the Seller under the statutory warranty (these rights are independent of the warranty).
- Complaints about electronic services. The Customer has the right to submit to the Seller objections regarding the functioning of the Store or the provision of electronic services (e.g., technical issues with the Account, website errors, etc.). Complaints in this regard may be submitted by email to the Seller's address. The Seller shall process such a complaint within 14 days and provide the Customer with a response (unless mandatory legal provisions prescribe a shorter response period, in which case the statutory period shall apply).
- Exclusions for entrepreneurs. With respect to a Customer who is not a Consumer (nor a natural person with consumer rights, as referred to in Section 11, point 9):
- the Seller's liability under the warranty for defects of the Product is excluded (in accordance with Article 558 Section 1 of the Civil Code);
- all disputes arising from the sales agreement or the provision of electronic services shall be resolved by the competent common court having jurisdiction over the Seller's registered office;
- the Seller's liability for the entrepreneur's lost profits and indirect damages is excluded, and any potential liability is limited to the price paid for the Product.
§13
Section 13 Out-of-Court Dispute Resolution
- The Seller informs that the Consumer has the option of using out-of-court methods for handling complaints and pursuing claims. In particular, the Consumer may:
- seek the assistance of a district (municipal) consumer ombudsman or a social organisation whose tasks include consumer protection (e.g., the Polish Consumer Federation, the Polish Consumers Association) - advice provided by these entities is generally free of charge;
- submit an application to the Provincial Inspector of Trade Inspection to initiate mediation proceedings for an amicable resolution of the dispute between the Consumer and the Seller;
- refer the matter to a Permanent Consumer Arbitration Court at the relevant Provincial Inspector of Trade Inspection, which is authorised to resolve disputes arising from the contract concluded with the Seller.
- Detailed information on out-of-court consumer dispute resolution methods, including mediation procedures and proceedings before consumer arbitration courts, is available on the websites of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) (https://uokik.gov.pl) and from municipal/district consumer ombudsmen.
- In support of consumer rights, the Seller agrees to out-of-court resolution of consumer disputes within the meaning of the Act of 23 September 2016 on Out-of-Court Resolution of Consumer Disputes. The competent authority for proceedings concerning the Seller's Consumers is the Greater Poland Voivodeship Trade Inspectorate in Poznań (al. Marcinkowskiego 3, 60-967 Poznań, www.poznan.wiih.gov.pl). Mediation proceedings before the WIIH are free of charge for the Consumer. Use of out-of-court dispute resolution methods is voluntary, the Consumer chooses whether to use this route.

- Purposes and legal basis for processing. Customers' personal data is processed:
- for the purpose of Order fulfilment (conclusion and performance of the Sales Agreement) - the legal basis is the necessity for the performance of the sales contract to which the Customer is a party, or for taking steps at the Customer's request prior to entering into the contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR);
- for accounting and tax purposes - invoice issuance, bookkeeping - the legal basis is the fulfilment of legal obligations incumbent on the Seller (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR in conjunction with accounting and tax legislation);
- for the purpose of handling any complaints, returns, and pursuing claims - the legal basis for processing is the Seller's legitimate interest in after-sales service and defence against claims (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR);
- for marketing purposes (e.g., newsletter distribution, promotional offers) - but only if the Customer has given separate voluntary consent for such activities (the legal basis is then the Customer's consent, Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, which the Customer may withdraw at any time).
- Scope of data collected. The Seller collects only personal data necessary for the above purposes. When placing an Order, the data specified in Section 6, paragraph 2, point 4 of the Terms and Conditions is required (including first name, surname, delivery address, email, telephone, and for entrepreneurs also company name and NIP). For the newsletter service - only the email address.

- entities providing accounting, legal, or advisory services to the Seller, to the extent required to perform those services (e.g., law firm, accounting office);
- public authorities entitled to receive data under legal provisions (e.g., law enforcement authorities, tax authorities, the President of UODO).
- Data retention period. Customers' personal data is retained:
- for data relating to a concluded Sales Agreement - for the period necessary for the performance of the agreement, and thereafter until the expiry of the limitation period for claims under that agreement (usually 2 years for Consumer claims under warranty for non-conformity of goods) and additionally for the period required by law (e.g., sales documents are retained for 5 years from the end of the tax year);
- for data processed on the basis of consent (e.g., newsletter) - until the Customer withdraws their consent;
- Rights of the data subject. Each Customer (whose data the Seller processes) has the right to access their personal data, rectification (correction) of data, erasure (the so-called "right to be forgotten," if the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or is being processed unlawfully), restriction of processing, data portability (to the extent specified in Article 20 GDPR - this applies to data processed on the basis of consent or contract), as well as the right to object to processing based on the legitimate interests of the controller (Article 21 GDPR).
- If processing is carried out on the basis of the Customer's consent, the Customer has the right to withdraw such consent at any time; however, this does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to the withdrawal of consent.
- To exercise their rights referred to above, the Customer may contact the Seller by sending an appropriate message in writing or by email to the Seller's address indicated in Section 3. The Seller shall respond to the request without undue delay, no later than within one month of its receipt (in justified cases, this period may be extended by up to 2 months, of which the requesting person shall be informed).
- Complaint to the supervisory authority. The Customer has the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority for personal data protection - in Poland, this authority is the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (PUODO) - if they consider that the processing of their personal data violates the law (GDPR).
- The provision of personal data by the Customer is voluntary; however, failure to provide data marked as necessary in the Order form will prevent the conclusion of the Sales Agreement, and consequently the provision of services by the Seller.
§15
Section 15 Provisions Concerning Entrepreneurs (B2B)
This section applies exclusively to Customers who are not Consumers or natural persons exercising Consumer rights in accordance with Section 1, point 3 above.
- Exclusion of the right of withdrawal. Customers who do not meet the criteria for recognition as a Consumer (or the so-called "entrepreneur with consumer rights") are not entitled to the statutory right of withdrawal from a distance contract, as referred to in Section 11 of these Terms and Conditions.
- Warranty for defects. In accordance with Article 558 Section 1 of the Civil Code, the Seller's liability under the warranty for defects of the Product towards a Customer who is not a Consumer is entirely excluded. The Seller does not provide such Customers with any quality guarantee within the meaning of Article 577 of the Civil Code - any repairs or replacements of goods may be made solely on terms voluntarily agreed with the Seller.
- Transfer of benefits and risks. Upon the Seller's delivery of the Product to the carrier (courier company, Poczta Polska, etc.) on behalf of a Customer who is not a Consumer, all benefits and burdens related to the Product, as well as the risk of accidental loss or damage, shall pass to the Customer (Article 548 Section 1 of the Civil Code). The Seller shall therefore not be liable for loss, shortage, or damage to the Product occurring from the moment the shipment is accepted for transport until its delivery to the Customer, nor for any delay in the transport of the shipment.
- Limitation of liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Seller's liability towards a Customer who is not a Consumer - regardless of its legal basis - is limited, both within a single claim and for all claims combined, to the price paid and delivery costs under the given Sales Agreement. The Seller shall not be liable to such a Customer for lost profits, indirect, or consequential damages.
- Obligation to inspect goods. A Customer who is not a Consumer should inspect the received Product within the time and in the manner accepted for items of the given type, and in the event of discovering defects, promptly (no later than within 7 days) notify the Seller thereof. Failure to provide timely notification shall result in the loss of the right to rely on defects of the Product (in accordance with Article 563 Section 1 of the Civil Code).
- Jurisdiction and applicable law. All disputes between the Seller and a Customer who is not a Consumer shall be resolved by the common court having jurisdiction over the Seller's registered office. The law applicable to contracts between the Seller and such a Customer is Polish law. This provision does not deprive the Seller of the right to pursue outstanding debts through payment order or injunction proceedings before courts having jurisdiction under general provisions or before courts having jurisdiction over the Customer's registered office.
