(hereinafter referred to as "Service Provider") and of the Users - collectively "Parties" - using the services provided through its website http://www.gammo.eu and its subdomains.

These GTC contain provisions applicable to customers who are consumers under the Civil Code and customers who are not consumers (business customers, buyers), therefore we ask the User to take into account only the provisions applicable to him. When placing an order and making a purchase, only a natural person acting outside the scope of his/her profession, self-employment or business activity (when purchasing the product) is considered a consumer, which also means that the product is purchased for private use only (for household use and not for use in a catering or other business establishment or business).

We will also provide our non-consumer customers with the rights under the applicable law, but we will not provide them with the rights that we provide to our consumer customers under the non-derogable legal provisions governing consumer contracts. Gammo Europe Ltd. reserves the right to take all legal actions against a customer who, while claiming to be a consumer at the time of ordering and purchasing, has in fact purchased the Service Provider's product for commercial purposes and not for private use, and who later wishes to claim consumer rights from the Service Provider. We serve our customers who are consumers for orders of products with a gross maximum value of EUR 1,250.

These GTC are not filed, are concluded in electronic form only, do not constitute a written contract, are written in Hungarian and do not refer to a code of conduct. In case of any questions regarding the operation of the webshop, the ordering and delivery process, please contact us at the contact details provided.

Regarding consumer contracts set up between EU Member State consumers who are not Hungarian please take into consideration that in accordance with EU laws ( EC Regulation No 593/2008 referred to as Rome I and according to EC Regulation No 1215/2012 referred to as Brussels I ) the law of the consumer’s member state shall apply and those courts shall have jurisdiction in case of dispute arising between the Parties.

6.2. Unless otherwise specified in the confirmation e-mail, the Service Provider will normally deliver the ordered goods(s) within 3 weeks of the confirmation (or, in the case of goods on order, of receipt of the deposit), but this does not constitute a contractual delivery period.

During the repair, only a newly manufactured part (component) may be installed into the product.

9.3. The mandatory guarantee period for the product (1-2-3 years, depending on the selling price) is time-barred, but if the product is repaired, the guarantee period is extended from the date of delivery for repair by the time during which the consumer could not use the product as intended because of the defect.

9.4. If, at the time of repairing the equipment for the first time, the Service Provider establishes that it cannot be repaired, the Service Provider shall, unless the consumer has provided otherwise, replace the equipment within eight days or, if replacement is not possible, refund the purchase price of the equipment to the consumer, as indicated on the receipt for payment of the price of the product presented by the consumer. If, for reasons within the Supplier's control and for which it is not responsible, the repair does not take place within thirty days of the date of the request for repair and the consumer does not provide otherwise, the Service Provider shall ensure the replacement of the equipment within eight days (and this shall be documented by the Parties) or, if replacement is not possible, the consumer shall be entitled to a refund of the purchase price indicated on the invoice or receipt (also within eight days).

9.5. The Service Provider may provide the consumer with the usage of replacement equipment for the duration of the repair, subject to the agreement of the Parties (e.g. if the repair is to be carried out at the consumer's home but the consumer is away for a planned longer period, or for the duration of the purchase of the necessary spare part for the repair and the carrying out of the repair, etc.). If the repair cannot be carried out on the spot, we will arrange the transport to and from the place of usage, and we will send a courier for the equipment. If this is, for any reason, not feasible, the Service Provider (after negotiating with the Customer) cover the costs of repairment on site executed buy a designated service partner. We would like to draw the attention of the Customer, who is a consumer, to the fact that he/she is obliged to cooperate with us during the repair works, so that in cases where he/she does not allow us to start the repair works (e.g. the consumer is not at home at the agreed time, etc.), the 30-day period ( having the legal consequences referred to in clause 9.4) for the repair works cannot start from the date of notification, due to the delay of the consumer.

9.6. If the equipment breaks down again after being repaired three times within the compulsory guarantee period and the consumer does not request a proportionate reduction of the purchase price and does not wish to have the product repaired, the equipment will be replaced within eight days. If the replacement is not possible, the purchase price indicated on the receipt or proof of payment presented by the consumer will be refunded to the consumer within 8 days.

9.7. The Service Provider is only released from its mandatory guarantee obligation if it can prove that the cause of the defect arose after performance (e.g. due to improper usage, improper maintenance). The consumer may not exercise both warranty and guarantee rights at the same time or place a product warranty and a guarantee claim for the same defect at the same time, but the consumer has rights under the guarantee independently of the rights described in the chapters on product warranty and warranty.

9.8. The Service Provider shall not be liable for damages resulting from natural amortization beyond the guarantee period.

9.9. Besides, the Service Provider shall not be liable for any damages resulting from faulty or negligent usage, handling, improper usage or failure to maintain the products after the risk of damage has passed.

9.10. If the consumer claims for replacement within three working days from the date of purchase (installation) due to a defect in the consumer good, the Service Provider is obliged to replace the consumer good, provided that the defect prevents the normal usage of the good (and there are no grounds for exclusion of the guarantee claim (e.g. improper installation, improper use, etc.).

10.1.
