- The Seller reserves the right at any time either to suspend further deliveries or to cancel the Client's registration altogether if there are or become facts contrary to the Buyer's declarations referred to in clause 2.3.

- The Seller is entitled to verify the data of the Buyer or the Client to the extent it deems appropriate after the registration of the Buyer. Subsequently, after this verification, the Seller sends the Buyer an email about the activation of the Buyer's account together with the allocation of the order code, which is necessary for the execution of orders, or without the indication of which no order can be executed.

The Buyer acknowledges and expressly agrees that as the Buyer's order is automatically sent to the Seller's individual suppliers from the moment it is submitted by the Buyer through the Seller's system, any modifications to the order after it has been submitted by the Buyer, whether to add or remove any goods from the order or to cancel the order, shall be subject to the express consent of the supplier, who shall be contacted by the Seller or an admin upon the Buyer's request, as appropriate. The Buyer acknowledges that the Seller's supplier is not obliged to accept a request for modification or cancellation of an order, and is also entitled to decide solely on cancellation fees.
- All requests for cancellation or cancellation of any order must be made by the buyer in principle at the time and within the period specified in point 3.4 by sending an email to info@original-parts.eu .

If both of these conditions have been cumulatively met, the Seller's admin will check with the suppliers the possibility or impossibility of cancelling the order. The Seller's admin then informs the Buyer by e-mail about the possibility of cancelling the order and in what part. If the supplier does not accept the cancellation of the order, the buyer is obliged to take delivery of the goods and pay the agreed purchase price or pay a cancellation fee of 50% of the total purchase price of the cancelled order.
- If both conditions set out in clause 3.4 are met and the Supplier subsequently accepts the cancellation of the order free of charge, the Seller shall not charge the Buyer any fees related to the cancellation of the order. If the Buyer has paid the Seller the purchase price or part of it in time to the cancellation of the order, the Seller shall refund the already paid purchase price or part of it within 7 days from the cancellation of the order by transfer to the Buyer's bank account, unless the Parties agree on another way of refunding the purchase price.
- The buyer is obliged to pay a cancellation fee of 50% of the total purchase price of the order when cancelling the order on non-business days or later than 60 minutes after the order has been shipped. The Seller shall be entitled to invoice the cancellation fee to the Buyer in the manner, at the time and with the due date as if the goods had been duly and timely delivered.

The impossibility to execute the order for the reasons stated in this clause cannot be considered by the Seller as any violation either of these Terms and Conditions or of any legal norm, nor can it give rise to any liability of the Seller towards the Buyer for this reason. The framework sales contract concluded pursuant to clause 4.4 shall determine the conditions for determining and securing the financial order limits for each Buyer individually by mutual agreement with the Seller, taking into account the volume of orders placed up to the time of signing of the framework sales contract, and shall also regulate the delivery conditions (personal collection, delivery to the Buyer's destination).

- Returns
- If the Buyer has ordered the goods, they have been delivered and shipped, the invoice has been issued and the Buyer finds that the goods are damaged or do not fit, the Buyer is entitled to request the return of the goods by filling in the return form on the Seller's website. The Buyer is obliged to fill in the return form within the agreed 24-hour time limit from the delivery of the goods; missing the time limit will result in the loss of the right to return the goods.
-
The return form contains:
- invoice number
- the number of the specific original part
- order number
- the name of the car part
- a note - reasons for returning the goods (e.g. faulty or incorrect ordering of the part caused by the buyer, delivery of other goods caused by the seller, returnable goods)
- The return form is automatically assigned to the seller's system after completion and confirmation, which the system also informs the seller about by sending an email.
- In case of wrong or incorrectly ordered goods by the Buyer, the Buyer is obliged to fill in the return form within the time limit specified in point 9.1. and wait for a reply from the Seller whether or not the goods can be returned. If the goods can be returned, the Seller will accept the goods back, subject to the acceptance of a cancellation fee of 45% of the price of the incorrectly ordered goods, which will be resolved by the issue of a credit note of 55% of the price of the incorrectly ordered goods, which the Seller will promptly refund or credit, subject to the condition that the Buyer returns the goods at his own expense to the Seller's warehouse, located at the following address: Dolná Ždaňa 60, in the original packaging, undamaged, unused, unassembled or otherwise not devalued within 3 working days of receiving an email from the Seller about the possibility of returning and taking back the returned goods and at the same time receiving a credit note from his supplier. Subsequently, the Buyer is obliged to order the correct goods in the usual way, as if the delivery of the wrong or incorrectly ordered goods had never taken place.
- If it is proven that the delivery of the wrong or incorrect goods was due to the fault of the Seller (error in the system, in the warehouse, or in the dispatch of the carrier), the Buyer is obliged to proceed in the same way as in clause 9.4, but with the difference that the goods will be returned without any cancellation fees and the Seller will take over the defective goods himself at the Buyer's own expense.
- The Buyer is obliged to print the return form in 2 authentic copies, one for the Seller signed by the Buyer and the other for the Buyer, signed by the Seller or an authorized employee of the Seller or the carrier's driver, as the case may be.
-
Mutual confirmation of the written return form is a condition for the return of goods for all reasons:
a) wrong or incorrectly ordered goods due to the buyer's fault
b) delivery of faulty or incorrect goods due to the fault of the seller
c) returnable parts (max. within 18 days of receipt of goods!)
- For the purposes of these General Terms and Conditions, only an apparent defect in the part found exclusively upon receipt of the goods shall be deemed to be a defective part.
-
The delivery note contains two boxes in addition to the designation of the goods (original part number and part name):
a) Goods delivered without defects
b) Delivered goods with defects (indicated which part and also that it was not accepted by the buyer)
- The Parties expressly agree and agree that if the invoice for the ordered goods has already been paid by the Buyer (whether in full or in part) and the goods (part) have a defect or defects, the Seller shall promptly refund the amount of the cancellation item to the Buyer's account, however, in the event of the existence of open and unpaid further orders and invoices of the Buyer, the Seller shall be entitled to unilaterally set off any receivables due from the Buyer against its liabilities to the Buyer.
- The Seller reserves the right to set off any claims against the Buyer against its obligations to the Buyer, to which the Buyer expressly agrees without reservation.
-
The return form is also used for handling "selected" types of goods marked as "returnable part", which is evident from the relevant invoice, where, in the case of a "returnable part", the item under the part number indicates that it is returnable and at the same time indicates the price, or the amount of the deposit, which the seller can reclaim from the supplier, provided that the following conditions are fulfilled:
a) a return form filled in by the buyer, where in the "note" box the reason for returning the goods is that it is a returnable part; in this case, the seller does not confirm receipt of the return form by e-mail
b) the deadline for completing the form is 5 working days from the delivery and receipt of the goods; the deadline is time-limited and failure to do so will result in the loss of the right to return the goods.
c) the new part delivered and the old "return part" returned must be identical in structure, scope and subdivision
d) the old part must be inoperable only because of wear and/or end of service life (e.g. mileage of the manufacturer's specified number of km). The return of parts that are incomplete, damaged, destroyed as a result of traffic accidents or as a result of mechanical forces and violence not resulting from the normal operation of the car or the part in question, as well as as as a result of natural events, is excluded.
- The Buyer is obliged to return or deliver the "returnable part" (old, used) to the Seller within 15 working days from the completion of the return form at the latest. The place of delivery of the returnable part is the Seller's warehouse at Dolná Ždaňa 60.
- The Seller reserves the right to inspect the returned part and refuse to accept it if all the conditions set out in clauses 9.12 and 9.13 are not cumulatively met.
- Once the Seller has received a credit note from its Supplier in the amount of the deposit shown on the invoice for the relevant Returnable Part, it shall issue a credit note in the amount of the deposit to the Buyer, which it shall either promptly reimburse to the Buyer or set off in accordance with clause 9.11.
- Seller is not responsible for the accuracy of parts found through the Laximo supplemental catalog (find by VIN), as this is only a customer assistance service and is a third party product, and therefore not responsible for errors and discrepancies in the catalog. Returns will be handled by the standard procedure as for a customer mis-ordered part.
- Complaints Procedure
- The Seller is liable for defects in the goods and the Buyer is obliged to immediately file a claim with the Seller in accordance with the applicable Complaints Procedure.

- If the purchased goods are electronic parts (control units, etc.), the warranty is valid only if the part or parts were installed in the car by an authorized service of the vehicle brand, otherwise the warranty does not apply to these parts, i.e. the Seller and its suppliers will not accept any claims for parts installed in the car by an unauthorized service of the respective brand. The Buyer is obliged to provide the Seller with an original confirmation of the installation of the relevant electronic component by the authorised repairer together with the written claim; without such confirmation, the claim will be deemed unacceptable. Mechanical components are covered by the normal warranty regardless of installation by a non-authorised repairer of the vehicle make.
