Terms and conditions of sale

§ 2. Customers and registration

1. C4U Customers (“Customers”) can be natural or legal persons, or other unincorporated entities, with a legal representative acting on their behalf.
2. In order to use all C4U functionalities, the Customer must register by filling in the form available at C4U and entering their email and password.
3. After successful registration, the Customer gains access to their account, which they can use at C4U after entering email and password provided during registration (log in).
4. The account contains the information provided by the Customer during registration, as well as their purchase history at C4U. If any account data change, the Customer is required to update them using appropriate form available at C4U website. The Customer is fully responsible for providing incomplete, out-of-date or false information.
5. The Customer must not make their account available for use or disclose their account password to any third party. The Customer is required to keep their password confidential and safeguard it from disclosure. The Customer shall notify C4U immediately in case access data have been taken over by third parties and provide explanation about circumstances of such takeover.
6. Whenever providing personal data of third parties is allowed at C4U (e.g. for the purpose of recommendation), the Customer shall provide such data only after obtaining permission from the party, whose data they wish to provide to C4U. In the event that the Customer provided such data without obtaining required permission, they assume full responsibility for such disclosure.
7. Should the Customer breach the Terms and Conditions, the law, or good practice, the Administrator has the right to terminate the contract with the Customer or suspend its execution for a specific account. This applies particularly to situations, when the Customer downloaded or used in any way the materials available at C4U without the Administrator’s permission.
8. Collecting or processing data or other information available at C4U for the purpose of disclosure to third parties at other websites or offline is prohibited. Using C4U labels, including the characteristic graphic design elements, without the Administrator’s permission is also prohibited.
9. The contract between the Customer and C4U is concluded for indefinite period of time, starting from the moment of registration. The contract can be terminated at any time by a declaration to the other party, using the appropriate form available at C4U. Notwithstanding the above, the Customer, as a registered consumer who did not make any purchases or used electronic services provided by the Administrator at C4U, can cancel such contract without providing reasons within 14 days after registration.

§ 3. Purchases

1. In order to make purchases, the Customer should be logged in at C4U.
2. C4U publishes information about products (“Products”) and their availability for purchase. For the avoidance of doubt, this information does not constitute an offer but invitation to provide offer as explained in Product information. Selecting Products and confirming the intention to purchase them by the Customer, serves as a basis to conclude purchase agreement  of the selected Products (“Order”).
3. The Administrator hereby informs that Product photos are only indicative of specific models. Any differences between individual settings of a computer or other device, which the Customer might use during purchase (colour, proportions, etc.) cannot be the basis for Product complaint.
4. The Customer selects Products by adding them to a virtual cart. Putting Products in the cart does not mean that they are reserved. If Products are sold out before the Customer confirms an Order, the Administrator reserves the right not to process such Order.
5. Some Products are created on the basis of individual parameters provided by the Customer, specifically an image file send by the Customer (“Dedicated Product”) .
6. Image files sent by the Customer to be placed as the Dedicated product should be prepared according to technical requirements outlined in the specifications for preparing C4U print materials, constituting Annex 1 to these Terms and Conditions. There are several options for uploading files, depending on the Dedicated Product selected by the Customer and file size. Every file has its compliance with the Administrator’s specifications checked, including: checking dimensions, detecting open fonts, checking font and path conversion, identifying colours according to the Pantone scale, converting CMYK scale colour to the best profile according to the print file Order, checking white overprints and perforations (basic verification). If the file does not meet the Administrator’s basic printing specifications, the Customer is required make all the necessary technical changes to image files according to the specification. If the necessary changes are not made, the Order will not be processed. Upon the Customer request, the file may also be checked to meet specification requirements against additional criteria: minimum resolution requirements (70 dpi), distance between the image and edge, front and back orientation, and checking safety margins graphically (additional verification). Additional verification is  subject to a fee.
7. If the result of additional verification is negative, the Customer may nevertheless accept the design project, whereby the Administrator accepts the Order for execution. However, any complains resulting from noncompliance with the Administrator’s technical specifications may not be considered by the Administrator.
8. Image files provided by the Customer to the Administrator should be verified by the updated anti-virus software and properly secured.
9. The use of image files sent by the Customer to the Administrator must not breach the law or the rights of third parties. The Administrator is not responsible for the content of image files sent by the Customer and does not make any changes to such content. However, in the event that image files sent by the Customer contain illegal content, the Administrator may refuse to execute such Order.
10. The Customer can introduce changes to the Order after placing it, and before the Administrator starts its execution, however, each change is subject to additional flat payment to C4U. Order is changed once it is agreed with the Administrator via email.
11. If an image file is inconsistent with the specifications or if there are changes in an Order, the Order execution date may be prolonged.
12. After the Customer places an Order and makes payment for the Product, the Customer receives Order confirmation by email, including the information about the Order execution date (i.e. sending the Products to the address indicated by the Customer). In case the Order was only partly executed, the contract is concluded regarding the confirmed Products only. If the Customer, who is a consumer, does not wish to conclude a contract for some of the Products, they have the right to cancel the contract within 14 days, starting from the date the purchased Products are issued. The Customer cannot cancel the contract for Dedicated Products.
13. The Administrator reserves the right to refuse to accept an Order, which they should notify the Customer immediately, and no later than within 48 hours from the day they received the Order or from the day the necessary corrections to the image files are done by the Customer, pursuant to Section 6, particularly in cases such as:
    • a. failure to provide all the data required to process the Order on the form;
    • b. Product unavailability;
    • c. lack of contact with the Customer to complete and verify the data provided in the submitted Order;
    • d. image files sent by the Customer contain errors or are not uploaded correctly.
14. In case the Administrator cannot fulfil the Order in part or in full because the Product is no longer available or, through unforeseen circumstances, was not delivered to the Administrator or was lost, then the Administrator shall notify the Customer immediately and make a refund, or perform services of the same value as the price paid - as decided and agreed by the Customer.
15. The Customer has the right to cancel the submitted Order only until the Order status changes to: “Order accepted for processing”. It is not possible to cancel Orders when the Order status is changed to the latter. It is not possible to cancel single Orders from the cart. Customers can only cancel all Orders from the cart. In case one Order item changes status for processing, or next, the Customer cannot cancel the Order, despite previous status of other Order items. Orders can only be cancelled by the Customers through their C4U accounts.
16. The Customer is required to provide full and correct shipment address and telephone number that should not change before the delivery, after selecting the Products and before selecting the payment method. Changes to delivery address can only be made in exceptional circumstances, after they are agreed by the Administrator and before handing the Products to the carrier for delivery.
17. After the purchase the Customer is required to read the information concerning the purchased product at the “Additional Information” part of the website.

When the Customer wishes to pay using a payment card with online payment option or a bank transfer, they will be redirected to a website, enabled with payment capability, e.g. the Customer’s bank login page or the Card Authorisation Centre. If payment for the Product is not processed immediately after the above redirection, the Order submitted by the Customer is cancelled.
