Registration is also possible during the ordering process by ticking the checkbox before the "Create user account" statement.

For valid registration, the User must provide real data and contact details. If it is found that the registration was made with false data, the Service Provider has the right to delete the profile created with the registration. In the latter case, the Service Provider shall not be liable for any consequences.

The Service Provider may also cancel a valid registration without being liable for the consequences if the cancelled User has used the website in bad faith or otherwise violated these Terms and Conditions.

The cancellation of the registration by the Service Provider for the above reasons shall not affect orders already fulfilled by both Parties. In the event of cancellation for the same reason, if the Service Provider has not yet begun performance, it may unilaterally decide whether to perform, provided that the reason for cancellation does not prevent it. If the order is not fulfilled for the above reasons and the User has already paid, the Service Provider shall refund the amount paid by the User. If the User's conduct constituting the reason for cancellation has caused damage to the Service Provider, the latter shall be entitled to retain the amount of the damage from the amount of the refund.

The User may request the cancellation of his/her registration at any time by sending an e-mail message to the Service Provider, which the Service Provider will execute without delay, but within 10 days at the latest.

The User undertakes to update the personal data provided during registration as necessary to ensure that they are up-to-date, complete and accurate.

Determining the purchase price

For information on the current prices of the products, the User can consult the product description pages of the webshop.

The purchase prices shown for the products are gross consumer prices, so the total purchase price plus tax is shown for each product.

The purchase price is always expressed in euros (EUR).

Prices do not include delivery costs.

The service provider does not charge any packaging costs.

Confirmation of orders will always include the full amount of the gross consumer price actually payable - or paid in advance in the case of prepayment - and any other charges.

The Service Provider reserves the right to change the prices of the products displayed on the web pages of the webshop. Price changes do not affect the price of products already ordered and confirmed by the Service Provider by e-mail confirming acceptance of the order.

If an incorrect price (e.g. a price of "0" or "1" EUR, or a price of the given product that is different in order of magnitude from the price category that is obvious to everyone, e.g. a price of 10 EUR instead of 100 EUR) is displayed on the website, the Service Provider is not obliged to sell the product at the incorrect price, in which case no contract is concluded for the product with the incorrect price. The Service Provider may offer to sell the product at the correct price, in the knowledge of which the User concerned by the transaction may order the product at the correct price by placing a new order. An order placed by the User electronically shall be deemed to be an offer to purchase, which the Service Provider is not yet obliged to fulfil. The first automatically sent confirmation shall only attest the fact of receipt of the order. Acceptance of the order is always confirmed in the second confirmation, which is not sent automatically, and the contract is concluded. In the case of an incorrect price indication, the second confirmation is sent, and the correct price is agreed before the order is accepted.

The Service Provider will confirm the order to the User immediately by automatic e-mail to the e-mail address provided by the User during the online ordering process. The confirmation shall include the total amount to be paid by the User for the product or the total amount paid in case of online payment. If this confirmation is not received within 48 hours of the User's order being sent, the User shall be released from the obligation to make an offer. The confirmation shall be deemed to have been received by the User when it is made available to him (i.e. when it is received in his e-mail account). The confirmation of the order written here does not constitute a contract for the purchase of the product, and this confirmation shall not constitute acceptance of the order by the Supplier.

Orders are processed every working day from Monday to Friday from 08.00 to 16.00 Central European Time. If an order is received during this time period, it will be processed within 24 hours of the time of receipt. If the order is received by the Service Provider outside the above time interval, it shall be deemed to have been received by the Service Provider at the beginning of the first processing period following the date of receipt - in the case of online payment, at the beginning of the first processing period following the date of receipt of the transaction confirmation by the Service Provider - and shall be processed within 24 hours of that date.

After the processing of the order has started, the Service Provider will inform the User of the acceptance of the order by e-mail, if the order is accepted. The contract for the purchase of the product shall be concluded upon receipt by the User of an e-mail message from the Service Provider to this effect.

The Service Provider reminds the User to check the content of the confirmation of receipt of the order and the confirmation of acceptance of the order. If the content of either confirmation differs from the content of the order, and the User who placed the order does not object to the discrepancy within 24 hours of receipt of the confirmation, or if the User makes payment after receipt of the confirmation, the content of the confirmation shall govern the contract (not including the provisions on incorrect price indication). After notification of the confirmation with a different content to the Service Provider, the Service Provider shall examine the notification and, if justified, correct the order.

If the User requests the deletion of his/her data necessary for the fulfilment of the order before the fulfilment, or objects to their use for such purposes, the Service Provider shall notify him/her of his/her intention to withdraw from the order.

Ex-post correction of the order

If the User wishes to change an order already placed, or has provided incorrect information, he/she must notify the customer service contact details as soon as possible. It is important that you do so without delay so that the Service Provider can correct the order before the execution of the order.

In the event of a correction of the order, the Service Provider will send a new confirmation of the order with the amended content, according to which the contract of purchase will be concluded in accordance with the amendment or, in the case of a previously accepted incorrect order, the contract of purchase will be amended.

In the event of subsequent correction, the Service Provider may also cancel the User's incorrectly placed order and request a new order. This shall be agreed separately with the User concerned.

Fee for delivery

The gross amount of the delivery charge payable by the User will be known to the User during the order dispatch process.

Receiving the product

Under a contract concluded following an order placed by the User, the User is obliged to pay the price of the product(s), the delivery charges and any other costs related to the execution of the order that may have been made known to him/her before placing or finalising the order, and to take delivery of the product. If the User fails to take delivery of the product(s) without giving any reason, he shall be in breach of the contract. The damage caused by the breach of contract may be claimed by the Service Provider.

If the User fails to take delivery of the goods ordered by the User at the time of delivery without any reason, including when the User is not available despite repeated attempts by the Carrier to deliver the goods, and delivery fails, the Service Provider is entitled to sell the ordered goods to a third party. In such a case, if the goods are returned to the Service Provider and the User has paid the purchase price of the ordered goods in advance, the purchase price shall be refunded by the Service Provider after deduction of the transaction costs and the return delivery costs. The delivery charges and any other costs are not included in the purchase price and will not be refunded in such a case. The cost of returning the product to the Service Provider without having taken delivery of it without justification shall be considered as a further loss and shall be deducted by the Service Provider from the amount to be refunded. In the event that the User has not paid the price of the product in advance and does not take delivery of the product without justification, as described above, the Service Provider may claim the delivery and return charges, as well as any other costs incurred in connection with the performance of the service, as described above, as compensation for the damage caused by the breach of contract.

The User shall check the quantity, the integrity and the existence of the necessary documents (invoice) of the ordered product(s) at the place and time of delivery, at the time of receipt, and shall report any damage, shortage or other discrepancies to the Carrier at that time. If the User notices any damage or discrepancies on the delivered goods at the time of delivery, the Carrier shall, at the User's request, hand over the goods in detail and record the damage or discrepancies on the spot. The Carrier shall be primarily liable for any damage to the Product during transport, but the Service Provider shall bear the risk in this respect towards the User until the time of delivery of the Product to the User. However, the User's failure to carry out an inspection at the time of acceptance shall not affect the User's warranty rights or its right of withdrawal without justification, which it may exercise in the same way as set out in this clause.

Defective performance, warranty, guarantee, right of withdrawal without justification

Incorrect performance

The Service Provider shall be deemed to have performed defectively if the product does not meet the quality requirements laid down in the contract or by law at the time of performance.

The Service Provider shall not be deemed to have performed defectively if the User knew of the defect at the time of concluding the contract or should have known of the defect at the time of concluding the contract.

In the case of a purchase by a User who is a consumer, it shall be presumed that, within one year of performance, the defect discovered by the User was already present at the time of performance, unless this presumption is incompatible with the nature of the goods or the nature of the defect. In practice, this means that the burden of proof in the case of a defect discovered within one year shall be on the Service Provider.

Accessories warranty

In the event of defective performance by the Service Provider, the User may assert a warranty claim against the Service Provider in accordance with the rules of the Civil Code, and the User who is a consumer may assert a warranty claim against the Service Provider in accordance with the rules of the Civil Code and the Government Decree 373/2021 (30.VI.).

The User may, at his/her option, make the following warranty claims: repair or replacement, unless the fulfilment of the claim chosen by the User is impossible or would involve disproportionate additional costs for the Service Provider compared to the fulfilment of his/her other claim. In the case of a User who is a consumer, the Service Provider must take into account all the circumstances, including the value of the service in its faultless state and the seriousness of the breach of contract, when determining whether a disproportionate additional cost exists. If the Service Provider has not undertaken to repair or replace the item or cannot fulfil this obligation within a reasonable period of time, taking into account the characteristics of the item and its intended use for which the User could reasonably be expected, without prejudice to the interests of the User, or if the User's interest in repair or replacement has ceased, the Service Provider shall:

the User who is a consumer may request a proportionate reduction of the consideration or withdraw from the contract, but may not repair the defect himself or have it repaired by another party at the expense of the Service Provider;
the User who is not a consumer may request a proportionate reduction in the price, or have the defect corrected or repaired by another party at the expense of the Service Provider, or withdraw from the contract.

In the case of a purchase by a User who is a Consumer, the User is also entitled to claim a proportionate reduction of the consideration or to terminate the sales contract, depending on the seriousness of the breach of contract, if

- the Service Provider has failed or refused to carry out the repair or replacement, or has carried out the repair or replacement but has not borne, or has not fully borne, the costs of returning the replaced goods;

- there is a repeated failure of performance, despite the Service Provider's attempts to make the goods conform to the contract;

- the defect is of such gravity as to justify immediate price reduction or immediate termination of the sales contract; or

- the Service Provider has not undertaken to make the goods in conformity with the contract, or it is clear from the circumstances that the Service Provider will not make the goods in conformity with the contract within a reasonable period or without significant detriment to the User.

In the case of a purchase by a User who is a consumer, the reduction of the consideration shall be proportionate if the amount of the reduction is equal to the difference between the value of the goods to which the User is entitled in the event of contractual performance and the value of the goods actually received by the User.

In the case of a purchase by a User who is a consumer, the User's right to terminate the purchase contract may be exercised by means of a legal declaration addressed to the Service Provider, expressing the decision to terminate the contract.

In the case of a purchase by a User who is a consumer, if the defective performance concerns only a specified part of the goods supplied under the sales contract and the conditions for exercising the right to terminate the contract apply in respect of those goods, the User may terminate the sales contract only in respect of the defective goods, but may also terminate the sales contract in respect of any other goods acquired with them if the User cannot reasonably be expected to keep only the goods which are in conformity with the contract.

In the case of a purchase by a User who is a consumer, if the User wishes to terminate the sales contract on the grounds of defective performance, the burden of proof that the defect is insignificant shall be on the Service Provider.

In the case of a purchase by a User who is a Consumer, the User is entitled to retain the remaining part of the purchase price, in whole or in part, according to the seriousness of the breach of contract, until the Service Provider has fulfilled its obligations regarding the contractual conformity of performance and defective performance.

The User may switch from one warranty right to another, but the cost of the switch shall be borne by the User, unless it was justified or the Service Provider gave a reason for it.

The User shall notify the Service Provider of the error without delay after the discovery of the error. In the case of a contract between a consumer and a business, a defect notified within two months of the discovery of the defect shall be deemed to have been notified without delay. The party entitled - the User - shall be liable for any damage resulting from the delay in notification. The User's right to claim under a warranty of convenience shall expire one year after performance of the contract. A User who is a consumer shall be barred from claiming any warranty for accessories within two years of the performance of the contract. If the subject of the contract between the consumer and the business is a second-hand good, the consumer's right to claim under a consumer's accessory warranty shall expire one year after the performance of the contract.

In the case of a purchase by a User who is a consumer, there is no other condition for the enforcement of the warranty claim within one year from the date of performance, other than the notification of the defect, if the User proves that the product or service was provided by the Service Provider. However, after one year from the date of performance, the User shall be obliged to prove that the defect discovered by the User existed at the time of performance.

The Service Provider shall repair or replace the goods within a reasonable period of time, taking into account the characteristics of the goods and the expected use of the goods by the User. The reasonable time limit shall be calculated from the date on which the User notifies the Supplier of the defect.

The User must make the goods available to the Service Provider in order to carry out the repair or replacement. The costs of fulfilling the warranty obligation shall be borne by the Service Provider.

In the case of a purchase by a User who is a Consumer, the Service Provider shall ensure the return of the replaced goods at its own expense.

If the User terminates the sales contract in its entirety or in respect of part of the goods supplied under the sales contract, the User shall return the goods concerned to the Service Provider at the Service Provider's expense and the Service Provider shall reimburse the User the purchase price paid for the goods concerned as soon as the goods or the certificate supporting the return of the goods is received by the User.

Product Warranty

In the event of a defect in a movable good (product), the User, as a consumer, may - at his/her option - exercise his/her right to claim under the above-mentioned warranty of replacement or product warranty.

As a product warranty claim, the User may only request the repair or replacement of the defective product.

A product is defective if it does not meet the quality requirements in force when it was placed on the market or if it does not have the characteristics described by the manufacturer.

The User may assert a product warranty claim within two years of the date on which the product was placed on the market by the manufacturer. Once this period has expired, he loses this right.

The user may only exercise his right to claim under the product warranty against the manufacturer or distributor of the movable item. In the event of a product warranty claim, the User must prove that the product is defective.

The manufacturer or the Service Provider is only released from its product warranty obligation if it can prove that:
- the product was not manufactured or put into circulation in the course of his business, or
- the defect was not detectable according to the state of science and technology at the time when the product was placed on the market, or
- the defect in the product is due to the application of a law or a compulsory standard laid down by a public authority.

The manufacturer or the Service Provider only needs to prove one ground for exemption.

The User may not assert a warranty claim for accessories and a product warranty claim for the same defect at the same time. However, in the event of a successful product warranty claim, the User may assert a claim against the manufacturer for the replacement product or repaired part.

Compulsory guarantee

The Service Provider does not distribute any product covered by a statutory mandatory warranty, nor does it voluntarily provide any warranty.

Right of withdrawal without giving reasons

Addressee: POLCZ FOOD Kft.
Postal address. 759/9.
E-mail: support@polczfood.com

I, the undersigned .............................................................................., declare that I exercise my right of withdrawal in respect of the contract for the sale of the following product(s):

Date of receipt of the product:

Name of the consumer:

Address of the consumer:

Signature of the consumer (only in case of a paper declaration):

Celt:

The User may exercise his right of withdrawal within the time limit if he sends his written notice of withdrawal before the expiry of the time limit indicated above or if he gives oral notice of withdrawal on the last day of the time limit. The burden of proving that the consumer has exercised his right of withdrawal in the manner and within the time limits set out herein shall lie with the consumer.

In the case of products with hygienic packaging, the User may not exercise his right of withdrawal without justification after the hygienic packaging has been removed. The opening of additional packaging outside the hygienic packaging shall not prevent the exercise of the right of withdrawal. In the case of products outside the hygienic packaging, the exercise of the right of withdrawal shall not be precluded by the use of the opened packaging and the use necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the product.

Arranging the return of the product and the cost of returning the product is the responsibility of the User. The return of the product can also be done in person, after prior appointment with the Customer Service.

After acceptance of the withdrawal and return of the goods, settlement will be made within a maximum of 14 days from the date of acceptance of the withdrawal. In the event of withdrawal, the Service Provider shall reimburse the User for the purchase price of the withdrawn product and the cost of delivery.

The User may not exercise its right of withdrawal:

- in the case of goods which are not prefabricated, which have been produced on the instructions or at the express request of the User or which are clearly personalised for the User;

- for goods in sealed packaging which, for health or hygiene reasons, cannot be returned after opening after delivery;

- perishable goods or goods that will remain in good condition for a short period of time.

Legal effects of withdrawal

If the User withdraws from the contract, the Service Provider shall reimburse the User for all payments made by the User, including the cost of transporting the goods to the User (excluding any additional costs incurred due to the User's choice of a mode of transport other than the cheapest usual mode of transport offered by the Service Provider), without delay and no later than 14 days after receipt of the User's notice of withdrawal. In making the refund, the Service Provider shall use the same payment method as the one used for the original transaction, unless the User expressly agrees to use a different payment method and the User does not incur any additional costs as a result of using this refund method. In the case of a contract for the sale of a product, the Service Provider may withhold the refund until the product has been returned or the User has provided proof that it has been returned, whichever is the earlier.

If the User has ordered several products and they have been sent to him by the Service Provider at the same time or separately, but against a lump sum delivery charge, and the User does not exercise his right of withdrawal without giving reasons for each of the products, the delivery charge will be reimbursed as follows:

- if the cost of delivery of all the products in the specific case is equal to the delivery cost that the User would have paid if he had ordered only the product(s) concerned by the withdrawal, the full amount of the delivery cost will be refunded;

- if the cost of delivery would have been lower only if the product(s) concerned by the cancellation had been ordered, only this lower amount shall be refunded to the User as reimbursement of the cost of delivery.

The User shall return or hand over the product to the Service Provider without undue delay, but no later than 14 days after receipt of the User's notice of withdrawal. The deadline shall be deemed to have been met if the product is sent before the expiry of the 14-day deadline. The direct cost of returning the product shall be borne by the User.

The user may be held liable for depreciation of the product only if it is due to use beyond the use necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the product. This provision is only applicable to products other than those in hygienic packaging.

Forum rules and moderation principles

The User can rate the product on the website by means of a text comment and by marking a number of stars.

Anyone can post comments, but the Service Provider is not responsible for the content of the posted comments and posts that are offensive to others in a way that is not recognizable by the Service Provider.

General provisions, data protection

The User's posts can be seen by other users after they are published in such a way that the name of the poster can be identified, the data he/she has provided in his/her post can be known, and thus the User's identity can be identified.

In the case of images and moving images, they must not be the likeness of another person, and regardless of the type of content, the content must not be in any way unlawful, discriminatory, racist, hateful, harmful, obscene, or related to religious or political views, or violate the privacy of another person, or harm or endanger minors. It must not contain content protected by law or by contract, content that infringes industrial secrets or intellectual property, content that distributes computer viruses or content that may infringe the rights or interests of the Service Provider or third parties in any way.

By accepting these terms and conditions, the User agrees to the publication of content containing data and information about him/herself in such a way that it will be accessible and visible to other users of the website, i.e. publicly, and the name of the user who uploaded the given photo can be identified by the observers, thus the identity of the User can be identified. However, this is the User's own responsibility and the Service Provider cannot be held liable for any consequences.

Disclosure

Comments posted on the site are displayed in a way that is visible to all visitors to the site.

By submitting a post, the User waives any right to make any subsequent claim, financial or otherwise, based on the use of the content of the post.

The Service Provider will pre-screen and approve the contributions before publication.

The Service Provider requests the User to notify the Service Provider by e-mail if he/she detects any postings that, in his/her opinion, violate any of the provisions of these Terms and Conditions, infringe the rights or legitimate interests of the User, the Service Provider, others or others, or may give rise to suspicion of a criminal offence, or otherwise impede the exchange of information in a civilized manner.

Offending comments appearing on the website may be deleted by the Service Provider or deleted upon request. Such comments may include:
- violate the rights or interests of the Service Provider or others,
- their content violates the law or these terms and conditions.

The Service Provider will not edit or partially delete individual posts afterwards; it will either leave them unchanged or delete them completely.

In order to maintain continuity and readability, posts that violate this policy and are therefore subject to deletion may be deleted along with any responses to them.

They may be deleted without prior notice to the User:

- Illegal entries. Any entry that violates any Hungarian law in force at the time of publication, or contains a call for, solicitation of, consent to, or agreement to commit a criminal offence or other violation of law, or violates the rights or legitimate interests of another or others, is unlawful.
- Obscene or aggressive, threatening, abusive, inflammatory, malicious or any other postings, not including professional criticisms not offensive to public order or morality. The Service Provider shall exercise its discretion in this regard and the User shall respect and accept the Service Provider's decision in this regard. Expressions that violate the moderation rules written herein may appear in the comments in diacritical form.

- Posts and other entries that defame or express opinions - personal or otherwise - that are clearly obscene, offensive, abusive or defamatory towards certain Users.
- Posts other than those specifically dedicated to this purpose, dealing with editing, moderation, editors or moderators. For these topics, please email support@polczfood.com.

- Politicising posts. Professional criticism does not count as politicisation. The discretion of the Service Provider in this regard is at the discretion of the Service Provider, and the User must respect and accept the Service Provider's decision in this regard.
- Entries containing images that are offensive to good taste, hate speech, intimidation or links to other websites on such topics are not permitted.
- All posts, deliberately repeated questioning, which, despite the invitation posted on the forum, are repeated on the forum, either within the same topic or in different topics. In this case, all of the User's posts related to that particular issue will be deleted. If the repetition is unintentional (e.g. caused by a computer error), only the other instances will be deleted, leaving one post intact.
- Topic-destroying entries. Any post that conspicuously and intentionally interferes with or disrupts the content of the thread, or is off-topic, in a way that is disruptive to or interferes with a civilised, ongoing conversation, will be considered as thread-breaking.

- Destruction by technical means: insertion of links to files that damage the User's Internet access device; corrupted html codes; Java; deliberate flooding; automatically triggered file downloads and any other interference that impedes the proper use of the site or compromises the users' IT equipment.
- Comments and posts that are demonstrably not their own intellectual products: repetition of other people's posts, copying without comment of article(s) from other sites.
- Repetition ("flood"): if the repetition is unintentional (i.e. accidental), the other instances will be deleted, leaving one post intact. Intentional repetition is when someone posts the same post several times in one or more posts.

- Disclosure of any contributor's real data, except for the disclosure by the person concerned of data relating to him/herself.
- Reproduction - in whole or in part - of deleted posts, as well as the restarting of deleted, merged or moved threads.

- Posts containing overt or covert advertising.

Banning: the moderators may restrict the privileges of Users who are in breach of the rules, who seriously violate these rules, who intentionally and/or repeatedly obstruct civilized conversation, and who may ban such Users from the forum. The ban may be partial or total, temporary or permanent. The most common types of bans are: one week, one month, permanent - depending on whether the User is a first time offender of these forum rules and moderation policies or a repeat offender.

The banning items do not have to follow the above order; if the moderators see fit, they can apply the most severe consequence immediately or "skip" intermediate items.

In extreme cases, the User may be banned permanently and all of his/her posts published up to that point may be deleted.

In all cases where someone posts or tries to post under a name that is similar to a name already registered on the forum, or under a name that is likely to mislead, or uses the names of historical figures, contemporary public figures or other (copyrighted) names in an unauthorized manner, the moderators may have all other privileges revoked, in addition to the deletion of the post.

Copying back or quoting from posts deleted by the provider or moderators will also result in the revocation of privileges.

Intellectual property

The conciliation body advises consumers or businesses on their rights and obligations at their request.

If you live in the European Union, you can use the following online dispute resolution tool of the European Commission to resolve your complaint about a product or service purchased online.

The European Commission's online dispute resolution platform

Website: https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/odr

This internet-based platform was set up by the EU for consumers who want to make a complaint about a product or service they have bought online and ask a neutral third party (dispute resolution body) to handle the complaint.

For more information about the online dispute resolution platform and how to use it, please visit the website using the link above.

The User may lodge a complaint regarding the quality of the goods, the conduct, activity or omission of the Service Provider (member, employee) or of a person acting in his/her interest or for his/her benefit, the quality of the service, the application of liability rules with the county government office competent for his/her place of residence in Hungary as the consumer protection authority. The contact details of the competent regional government offices can be found at https://kormanyhivatalok.hu/kormanyhivatalok

The User may also lodge a complaint with the consumer protection authority of the place where the Service Provider is established:

Heves County Government Office
Department of Transport, Technical Licensing and Consumer Protection
Consumer Protection Department

Enforcing your rights through the courts

The contracting parties shall mutually cooperate in order to settle any disputes out of court, through negotiation, in the shortest possible time and at the lowest possible cost. If this is not successful, the User may, depending on the value of the dispute, initiate legal proceedings at the district court or court of law of his/her place of residence or domicile, or at the District Court of Hatvan or the Court of Law of Eger, where the Service Provider is based.

Representative action

Empowered organisations can bring representative actions against businesses that breach EU and Hungarian consumer protection law. The organisations can ask the court to stop or prohibit the infringing behaviour, to remedy the infringement, to compensate, to correct or even to discount the price.

The consumer cannot and usually cannot bring a representative action directly by notifying the consumer. An exception to this is the public prosecutor's office, to whom he or she may submit a request for the public prosecutor's office to consider bringing a representative action. Consumer protection is the responsibility of the General Prosecutor's Offices, whose contact details can be found here: http://ugyeszseg.hu/ugyeszsegek/fougyeszsegek/

The representative action is initiated by the public prosecutor, but anyone can initiate it at the public prosecutor's office. The initiative is free of charge for all consumers. The public prosecutor decides whether to bring a representative action and will go to court if the legal conditions are met. The representative action is not brought by the prosecutor in the interest of the individual consumer (whistleblower), but in the interest of all persons who are or may be affected by the infringement. Consumers are represented before the court by the public interest prosecutor, they are not personally involved in the litigation and therefore do not need to arrange for legal representation and do not incur legal costs.

The other authorised organisations learn about activities that harm consumers' interests ex officio, through the consumer reports they receive and through official inspections, and can also bring representative actions against them on the basis of a decision taken under their own powers.

The list of organisations entitled to bring representative actions is published on the website of the Minister responsible for consumer protection. The list of authorised organisations is available here.

Enforcement in relation to the processing of personal data

The User may exercise his/her enforcement rights with the Service Provider as described in the Privacy Policy, as well as in court, and may also turn to the National Authority for Data Protection and Freedom of Information:
