Due to the fact that both Services in the form of Digital Maps and Products in the form of Printed Maps offered for sale via the Website are personalized, non-prefabricated, i.e. they are manufactured according to the Consumer’s specifications or serve to satisfy his individual needs, the Consumer is not entitled to withdrawal from the Agreement – in relation to Products – in any case, and in relation to digital maps, when the performance of the service began with the express consent of the Consumer before the deadline to withdraw from the Agreement and after informing him by the Administrator about the loss of the right to withdraw from the Agreement.

5. Exercise of the right of withdrawal. In order to exercise the right to withdraw from the Agreement, the Consumer should submit a statement of withdrawal from the Agreement. The consumer may use the form of declaration of withdrawal from the Agreement, each time provided to him by the Administrator together with the Product, and constituting Appendix No. 2 to the Terms and Conditions, however, it is not obligatory.

An invoice or receipt does not constitute grounds for consideration of a complaint; however, in the absence of such a document, the Seller may request the Client to prove by other means that the Product under complaint was purchased from the Service. The said provisions apply mutatis mutandis to digital content and services provided.
