(hereinafter referred to as the “seller”)
-
These Terms and Conditions govern the mutual rights and obligations of the seller and the natural person who concludes a purchase contract either outside the scope of their business activity as a consumer or within their business activity (hereinafter referred to as the “buyer”) through the web interface located on the website available at www.jamel-fashion.com (hereinafter referred to as the “online store”).
-
The provisions of these Terms and Conditions form an integral part of the purchase contract. Any differing stipulations in the purchase contract shall take precedence over the provisions of these Terms and Conditions.
-
These Terms and Conditions and the purchase contract are concluded in the Slovak language.
II.
Information about goods and prices
-
Information about the goods, including the price of each item and its main characteristics, is provided for each product in the online store catalog. Prices include value-added tax, all related fees, and the cost of returning goods when such goods, by their nature, cannot be returned by ordinary postal means. Prices remain valid as long as they are displayed in the online store. This provision does not exclude the possibility of concluding a purchase contract under individually agreed terms.
-
All product presentations in the online store catalog are for informational purposes only, and the seller is not obliged to conclude a purchase contract for such goods.
-
The online store provides information on the costs associated with packaging and delivering the goods.
-
Any discounts on the purchase price of goods cannot be combined unless otherwise agreed between the seller and the buyer.
III.
Order and conclusion of the purchase contract
-
The buyer shall bear any costs incurred in using means of distance communication in connection with concluding the purchase contract (internet connection fees, telephone call charges). These costs do not differ from the standard rate.
-
The buyer may place an order for goods in the following ways:
-
via their customer account if they have previously registered in the online store,
-
by completing the order form with or without registration.
-
When placing an order, the buyer selects the goods, quantity, payment method, and delivery option.
-
Before submitting the order, the buyer is allowed to check and modify the information entered. The buyer sends the order to the seller by clicking the “Submit Order with Payment Obligation” button. The information provided in the order is considered correct by the seller. A prerequisite for a valid order is the completion of all required fields and the buyer’s confirmation that they have read these Terms and Conditions.
-
Immediately after submitting the order, the seller sends the buyer a confirmation of receipt to the email address provided. This confirmation does not constitute a contract conclusion. The confirmation includes the seller’s current Terms and Conditions. The purchase contract is concluded only upon acceptance of the order by the seller. Notification of acceptance is sent to the buyer’s email address.
-
If the seller is unable to fulfill any of the buyer’s requests stated in the order, the seller shall send a modified offer to the buyer’s email address. The modified offer shall be considered a new proposal for a purchase contract and the contract shall be concluded upon the buyer’s confirmation of acceptance sent to the seller’s email address specified in these Terms and Conditions.
-
All orders accepted by the seller are binding. The buyer may cancel an order until the buyer receives the seller’s confirmation of acceptance. The buyer may cancel the order by phone at the seller’s telephone number or by email to the seller’s address, both of which are specified in these Terms and Conditions.
-
If an obvious technical error occurs on the part of the seller when indicating the price of goods in the online store or during the ordering process, the seller is not obliged to deliver the goods to the buyer at such an obviously incorrect price, even if the buyer has received an automatic order confirmation under these Terms and Conditions. The seller shall inform the buyer of the error without undue delay and send a revised offer to the buyer’s email address. The revised offer is considered a new proposal for a purchase contract, which is concluded upon the buyer’s confirmation of acceptance sent to the seller’s email address.
IV.
Customer account
-
Based on the buyer’s registration made in the online store, the buyer can access their customer account. From this account, the buyer can place orders for goods. The buyer may also place orders without registration.
-
When registering for the customer account and when placing an order, the buyer must provide accurate and truthful information. The buyer is obliged to update any data in their account if changes occur. Information entered by the buyer in the customer account and during ordering is considered correct by the seller.
-
Access to the customer account is protected by a username and password. The buyer must maintain confidentiality regarding the access information. The seller is not responsible for any misuse of the customer account by third parties.
-
The buyer is not authorized to allow third parties to use their customer account.
-
The seller may cancel the user account, particularly if the buyer has not used it for an extended period or if the buyer breaches their obligations under the purchase contract or these Terms and Conditions.
-
The buyer acknowledges that the user account may not be available continuously, particularly due to necessary maintenance of the seller’s hardware and software, or that of third parties.
V.
Payment terms and delivery of goods
-
The buyer may pay the price of the goods and any costs related to delivery under the purchase contract in the following ways:
-
by bank transfer to the seller’s account IBAN: SK70 1111 0000 0012 3138 3007, held at UniCreditBank,
-
by cashless card payment to the seller’s account via the GoPay payment gateway,
-
cash on delivery upon receipt of the goods,

-
In the case of cash payment, the purchase price is due upon receipt of the goods. In the case of cashless payment, the purchase price is due within 14 days of the conclusion of the purchase contract.
-
When paying through a payment gateway, the buyer shall follow the instructions of the relevant electronic payment provider.
-
In the case of cashless payment, the buyer’s obligation to pay the purchase price is fulfilled when the relevant amount is credited to the seller’s bank account.
-
The seller does not require any advance payment or similar charge from the buyer. Payment of the purchase price before shipment of the goods is not considered a deposit.
-
According to the Act on Sales Records, the seller is obliged to issue a receipt to the buyer. At the same time, the seller must record the received payment online with the tax authority, or in the event of a technical failure, no later than within 48 hours.
-
The goods are delivered to the buyer:
-
to the address specified by the buyer in the order
-
by personal collection at the seller’s premises.
-
The method of delivery is chosen during the ordering process.
-
The costs of delivering the goods, depending on the method of shipment and receipt, are stated in the buyer’s order and confirmed by the seller. If the method of transport is arranged at the buyer’s special request, the buyer bears the risk and any additional costs associated with this method of delivery.
-
If the seller is obliged under the purchase contract to deliver the goods to the address specified by the buyer, the buyer must accept the goods upon delivery. If, for reasons attributable to the buyer, it becomes necessary to deliver the goods repeatedly or by a method other than that stated in the order, the buyer shall bear the costs of repeated or alternative delivery.
-
Upon receiving the goods from the carrier, the buyer must check that the packaging is intact and immediately report any defects to the carrier. If the packaging appears to have been tampered with, the buyer is not obliged to accept the shipment.
-
The seller shall issue a tax document – an invoice – to the buyer. The invoice is sent to the buyer’s email address.
-
The buyer acquires ownership of the goods upon payment of the full purchase price, including delivery costs, but not before receiving the goods. The risk of accidental loss, damage, or destruction of the goods passes to the buyer at the moment of receipt or at the time the buyer was obliged to take delivery but failed to do so in breach of the purchase contract.

-
If the buyer withdraws from the contract, the seller shall, without undue delay and no later than 14 days after withdrawal, refund all payments received, including delivery costs, using the same payment method.

VII.
Rights from Defective Performance
-
The seller is liable to the buyer for ensuring that the goods are free from defects upon receipt. In particular, the seller is liable to the buyer that, at the time the buyer took possession of the goods:
-
has the properties agreed upon by the parties, or, if no agreement was made, has such properties as the seller or manufacturer described, or that the buyer could reasonably expect given the nature of the goods and the advertising carried out by the seller,
-
the goods are suitable for the purpose stated by the seller or for which goods of this type are usually used,
-
the goods correspond in quality or design to the agreed sample or model, if the quality or design was determined according to such a sample or model,
-
the goods are in the agreed quantity or weight, and
-
the goods comply with the requirements of applicable legal regulations.
-
If a defect appears within six months of the buyer’s receipt of the goods, it shall be presumed that the goods were defective at the time of receipt. The buyer is entitled to exercise rights arising from defects that occur in consumer goods within twenty-four months of receipt. This provision does not apply to goods sold at a lower price due to a defect for which the lower price was agreed, to wear and tear caused by normal use, to used goods for defects corresponding to the level of use or wear that the goods had when received by the buyer, or where this results from the nature of the goods.
-
In the event of a defect, the buyer may file a complaint with the seller and request:
-
if the defect can be remedied:
-
free repair of the goods,
-
replacement of the goods with new goods,
-
if the defect cannot be remedied:
-
a reasonable discount on the purchase price,
-
withdrawal from the contract.
-
The buyer has the right to withdraw from the contract
-
if the goods have a defect that cannot be remedied and that prevents proper use of the goods as goods without defects,
-
if the goods cannot be properly used due to repeated occurrence of a defect or defects after repair,
-
if the goods cannot be properly used due to a large number of defects.
-
The seller is obliged to accept a complaint at any business premises where such acceptance is possible or at the seller’s place of business. The consumer may also submit a complaint to a person authorized by the seller. If the complaint is handled by an authorized person, it can only be resolved by providing repaired goods; otherwise, it must be forwarded to the seller. The seller is required to provide the buyer with written confirmation indicating when the complaint was filed, what it concerns, and the buyer’s requested method of resolution, as well as confirmation of how and when the complaint was resolved, including details of any repairs carried out and their duration, or a written justification for rejecting the complaint.
-
When a consumer submits a complaint, the seller or an authorized employee or representative must inform the consumer of their rights arising from defective performance. Based on the consumer’s choice of right to exercise, the seller or the authorized person must determine the method of handling the complaint immediately, or in complex cases no later than three working days from the date of submission, and in justified cases, especially those requiring a complex technical assessment of the goods, no later than 30 days from the date of submission. The complaint, including the removal of the defect, must be resolved immediately once the method is determined; however, the resolution must not exceed 30 days from submission. Failure to meet this deadline constitutes a material breach of contract, entitling the buyer to withdraw from the purchase contract or request replacement of the goods with new ones. The complaint is considered submitted at the moment the buyer notifies the seller of the defect.
-
The seller shall inform the buyer in writing of the outcome of the complaint no later than 30 days after the complaint was submitted.
-
The buyer is not entitled to rights arising from defective performance if the buyer knew of the defect before taking delivery of the goods, or if the buyer caused the defect themselves.
-
In the event of a justified complaint, the buyer is entitled to reimbursement of reasonable expenses incurred in connection with making the complaint. The buyer may exercise this right with the seller within one month after the expiry of the warranty period.
-
The choice of complaint method and its resolution, if there are several options, belongs to the buyer.
-
The rights and obligations of the contracting parties concerning defective performance are governed by Sections 499 to 510, 596 to 600, and 619 to 627 of Act No. 40/1964 Coll., the Civil Code, as amended, and by Act No. 250/2007 Coll. on Consumer Protection, as amended.
-
Additional rights and obligations of the parties related to the seller’s liability for defects are governed by the seller’s complaint policy.
VIII.
Delivery of Correspondence
-
The contracting parties may deliver all written correspondence to each other via electronic mail.
-
The buyer shall send correspondence to the seller at the email address specified in these Terms and Conditions. The seller shall send correspondence to the buyer at the email address specified in the buyer’s customer account or in the order.
IX.
Out-of-Court Dispute Resolution
-
The consumer has the right to contact the seller with a request for remedy if they are not satisfied with the way the seller handled their complaint, or if they believe the seller has violated their rights. The consumer has the right to submit a proposal for the initiation of alternative (out-of-court) dispute resolution to an ADR entity if the seller has not responded to the consumer’s request within 30 days or has rejected it. This does not affect the consumer’s right to take the matter to court.
