Complaint procedure
In the event of Customer's objections as to: the quantity of the Products/Service, the manner of fulfilment of the Order, the Customer has the possibility to make a written complaint.
In order to lodge a complaint properly, the Customer should provide his or her data, such as: name and surname or company name, address of residence or registered office address and e-mail address, as well as circumstances justifying the lodging of a complaint (description of the complaint) or what features the purchased Product/Service does not have, but according to the Seller's assurances or according to the way it was presented to the Customer, it should have.
The complaint should include, in particular:
2.1 The name of the Product/Service under complaint,

2.3 Description of the problem that has arisen,
2.4 All additional information that the Customer deems important for proper consideration of the complaint.

4. The response to the Customer's complaint will be provided in a message sent to the Customer's e-mail address and by post, if a mailing address is provided.
