In accordance with the Consumer Rights Act, a Buyer who is a Consumer may, without giving any reason, withdraw from a distance contract with the Seller within 14 (fourteen) days from the date of receipt of the product. The right of withdrawal from a contract concluded off-premises or at a distance does not apply to contracts for:
- the supply of digital content not supplied on a tangible medium, where performance has begun with the Consumer’s explicit consent before the expiry of the withdrawal period and after the trader has informed the Consumer of the loss of the right of withdrawal (e.g., using an activation code to activate software on a device).
The Consumer loses the right of withdrawal at the moment the software activation key is used to activate the software, as this constitutes the start of performance consisting in making digital content available.
Using the software activation key is tantamount to the Consumer’s consent to the loss of the right of withdrawal.
The Consumer may submit the withdrawal statement to the Seller either electronically (by sending an e-mail with the statement to info@smok.com.pl) or by sending a written statement on paper by traditional post. The Consumer may use the statutory template form set out in Annex 2 to the Consumer Rights Act. The Seller provides the template here.
The Consumer must send the product back to the Seller within 14 days from the date of withdrawal, to: ul. Młynarska 13, unit A/B 3, 64-920 Piła.
If the Consumer withdraws from the contract, the Seller shall refund all payments received from the Consumer (including delivery costs) within 14 days from the date of withdrawal, except for additional costs arising from the Consumer’s choice of a delivery method other than the least expensive standard delivery method available in the store. However, pursuant to Article 32(3) of the Consumer Rights Act, the Seller may withhold the refund until the product is received back or the Consumer provides proof of its return, whichever occurs first.
The costs of returning the product to the Seller are not reimbursed to the Consumer.
The Seller will make the refund using the same payment method used by the Consumer, unless the Consumer expressly agrees to a different method that does not incur any costs for the Consumer.
The Seller kindly asks the Consumer—if not unduly burdensome—to attach to the withdrawal statement or to the returned product a copy of the receipt or VAT invoice or other proof of the transaction, as this may help accelerate the refund process. If the receipt or VAT invoice has been lost and no other proof of the transaction is available, the Consumer is asked to attach a traditional written statement declaring the loss of the receipt or VAT invoice. A template statement of loss of receipt is available here.
The right of withdrawal without giving reasons does not apply to Buyers who do not have Consumer status.
The Seller is liable to the Buyer who is a Consumer for product defects to the extent provided by generally applicable law, in particular the Civil Code provisions on statutory warranty (Articles 556 – 576(4) of the Civil Code).
A Consumer may submit a complaint in any form (e.g., by phone at +48 602-867-075, in traditional written form to the address indicated in item 5 of this paragraph, or by e-mail to info@smok.com.pl). For practical reasons, written or e-mail form is most recommended.
The Seller recommends—if not unduly burdensome for the Consumer—using the complaint form when submitting a complaint. Use of the form is not necessary for the Seller to consider the complaint, but may help speed up the procedure.
The Seller will respond to the Consumer’s complaint requests without undue delay, but no later than within 14 days from the date the complaint is submitted by the Consumer.
The product subject to the complaint should be sent to:
Mirosław Dudek
