The costs incurred in using means of distance communication (such as an internet connection or the costs of telephone calls) are borne by you, and these costs do not differ in any way from the standard rate.

WITHDRAWAL FROM THE CONTRACT BY THE BUYER
— within 14 days of taking delivery of the product and return of the product
Right to withdraw from the Contract. If you concluded the Contract with us as a consumer, that is, outside the scope of your commercial or business activity, you have the right to withdraw from the Contract within a period of 14 days from delivery of the product without giving a reason. You have this right because the Contract is concluded at a distance over the internet, by what is known as the distance selling method. This part of the Terms applies to you only if you concluded the Contract as a consumer.
Exceptions. Please note that you do not have the right to withdraw from the Contract under this part of the Terms if you purchased a product that was manufactured according to your requirements or adapted to your personal needs, for example if you purchase a product with your own design.
Effects of withdrawal from the Contract. In the event of withdrawal from the Contract, the Contract is cancelled from the outset. This means that you return the product to us and we return to you the purchase price paid, including the lowest postage that we offer, if you paid it.
Course of withdrawal from the Contract. If you wish to withdraw from the Contract under this part of the Terms, write to us at [email protected] or contact us in any other way. If you wish to make use of your right to withdraw from the Contract without giving a reason under this part of the Terms, you must do so within 14 days of delivery of the product to you.
Return of the product upon withdrawal from the Contract. You must send the product to us within 14 days of withdrawal from the Contract and you may do so via the TNT service (provided by FedEx). Instructions on how to send it back to us via TNT (provided by FedEx) are enclosed with every consignment. Unless stated otherwise in the product return information that we enclose with every consignment, the costs of sending the product back to us are borne by you. The returned product must be unused, undamaged and well packed so that it cannot be damaged during transport. In the event that the product is incorrectly packed, you are liable for its damage. Take particular care to secure loosely inserted parts, such as, for example, the wall bracket. The safest option is to pack it in the original packaging with the same arrangement as it had upon delivery. It must be possible to distribute the product further even after withdrawal. The product must be returned to our address Amplla a.s., with its registered office at Poličská 1823, 539 01 Hlinsko, Czech Republic. Please do not send the product to us cash on delivery; ideally use TNT (provided by FedEx).
Refund of the purchase price. We will subsequently refund to you the purchase price for the product, including the lowest postage that we offer, if you paid the postage for delivery of the product to you. We will refund the money to you in the same way as we received it from you, but we may also agree on another method of refund. We will refund the money to you within 14 days of the moment when you withdrew from the Contract. However, we may withhold the payment until the returned product reaches us or until you prove to us that you have sent the product (for example by a confirmation from the carrier).
Gifts. In the event of withdrawal from the Contract, you are also obliged to return any gifts that you received with the order.
Set-off. If you have damaged the product, we are entitled to set off unilaterally our claim for compensation for the damage incurred to the product against your claim for a refund of the price. This means that if damage arises to us on the returned product, we will deduct it from the original purchase price and refund you any remainder.
Briefly and clearly
If you are a consumer, you are entitled to withdraw from the contract concluded through the website within 14 days of delivery of the product. However, if you ordered a product adjusted or customised to your requirements, you do not have this right.
If you withdraw from the contract, send us the product within 14 days of withdrawal from the contract. The easiest way is to return it via TNT. You will find instructions on how to do this in every consignment. We will refund you the purchase price paid and the lowest postage that we offer, if you paid it, within 14 days of withdrawal from the contract. However, we may withhold the payment until you prove to us that you really did send us the product or until the product reaches us.
Upon withdrawal from the contract, you are also obliged to return to us any gifts that we sent you with the product.
We may reduce the refunded amount by the damage caused to us by the return of a damaged product.

COURSE OF THE WARRANTY CLAIM PROCEDURE FOR CONSUMERS
Consumer. This section on the course of the warranty claim procedure applies only to consumers, that is, to a person who concluded the Contract with us outside the scope of their commercial or business activity or outside the scope of the independent exercise of their profession.
Time limits. You may exercise your rights from defective performance within twenty-four months of taking delivery of the product. If the defect manifests itself in the course of 6 months from taking delivery, the product is deemed to have been defective already upon taking delivery.
Warranty claim. A warranty claim must contain at least a description of the defects of the product and the requested method of settling the warranty claim. You may file a warranty claim by e-mail at [email protected] or at the address Amplla a.s., Poličská 1823, 539 01 Hlinsko.
Return of the product. Send the product to us for assessment complete, that is, as you received it from us. If possible, also including the original box and packaging. Send the goods to us at the address Amplla a.s., Poličská 1823, 539 01 Hlinsko; ideally you may use the TNT service (provided by FedEx).
Material breach of the Contract. If the product has defects that constitute a material breach of the Contract, that is, defects on account of which you objectively cannot have an interest in the product, you may, at your choice, request one of the following within the warranty claim:
- removal of the defect by delivery of a new product or a part of it free from defects, or by delivery of the missing product or a part of it,
- free repair,
- a reasonable discount from the purchase price,
- a refund of the purchase price on the basis of withdrawal from the Contract.
Non-material breach of the Contract. If the product has defects that constitute a non-material breach of the Contract, that is, if the product can, for example, serve its purpose but has some defect, you may, at your choice, request one of the following within the warranty claim:
- removal of the defect,
- a reasonable discount from the purchase price.
Chosen method of settling the warranty claim. When filing a warranty claim, you are obliged to state which method of settling the warranty claim you have chosen. A change of choice without our consent is possible only where you requested repair of a defect that turns out to be irreparable. If you do not choose your right arising from a material breach of the Contract in time, you have the same rights as in the case of a non-material breach of the Contract.
Reasonable discount or withdrawal from the Contract. To sum up, you have the right to a reasonable discount or to withdrawal from the Contract if we refused to remove the defect or did not remove it at our expense, within a reasonable time or without causing you any unreasonable difficulties, or where it is clear that we will not remove the defect at all or in the manner in which we should. You further have the right to a reasonable discount or to withdrawal from the Contract if the defect constitutes a material breach of the Contract.
Settlement of the warranty claim. Because you are a consumer, we will decide on your warranty claim within 3 working days, or within the same time limit we will decide that an expert assessment is necessary for the decision. We will then settle the warranty claim, including removal of the defect, without undue delay, at the latest within 30 days of its filing, unless we agree with you on a longer time limit.
Costs of filing a warranty claim. As a consumer, you have the right to reimbursement of the purposefully incurred costs of filing a warranty claim; these costs are understood to be the lowest possible. However, if you do not exercise this right within one month of the expiry of the time limit for notifying the defect, this right need not be granted to you.
Confirmation. After the end of the warranty claim procedure, we will send you electronically a confirmation of the date and method of settlement of the warranty claim, a confirmation of the performance of the repair and of the duration of the warranty claim, or a justification of the rejection of the warranty claim.
Briefly and clearly
We have different rules for warranty claims by consumers and by entrepreneurs. This summary concerns consumers only.
You can file a warranty claim for the goods within 24 months of taking delivery.
Send us the warranty claim by e-mail to [email protected] or by post. Then you must also send us the product for assessment, ideally via TNT.
Depending on the type of defect concerned, you can choose from the following ways of settling the warranty claim:
delivery of a new product or a part of it,
free repair,
a discount from the purchase price,
a refund of the purchase price on the basis of withdrawal from the contract.
We will settle the warranty claim within 30 days, unless we agree on a longer period. After the end of the warranty claim procedure, we will send you information and a confirmation of its settlement or a justification of its rejection by e-mail.
CUSTOMER ACCOUNT
Customer account. You may set up a customer account on the Website. Registration of a customer account gives you access to the status and history of your orders. You may order our products both through a customer account and without one.
Setting up a customer account. To set up your customer account we need your personal data. When registering a customer account, state correct and truthful details. If your details change, update them. We regard the details that you provide to us through the customer account as correct. If the details are stated incorrectly and, as a result, we are for example unable to contact you, we are not liable for the damage incurred.
Security of the customer account. The customer account is secured by a user name and a password. Do not disclose these access details to anyone. We bear no liability for any misuse of the customer account by third parties. The customer account is yours alone and you are not entitled to allow its use by third persons.
Cancellation of the customer account. You may cancel your customer account at any time, but you will lose the overview of orders linked to it. If you breach the Terms or the Contract, we may also cancel your customer account. We will inform you of this in advance by e-mail.
Briefly and clearly
On the website you can set up a customer account in which you will find an overview and the status of your orders.
However, you can also order products without setting up an account. When setting up an account, please state correct details and do not disclose the account access details to anyone else.
You can cancel the account at any time. Likewise, we too may cancel your account if you breach these terms or the contract. However, this does not happen often and we will let you know in advance.
WITHDRAWAL FROM THE CONTRACT BY THE SELLER
Stock sold out. As the seller, we have the right to withdraw from the Contract if the product ordered by you is unavailable. In such a case we will inform you by e-mail as soon as possible and within 14 days we will return to your account all funds that we received from you.
Breach of the Terms on your part. If you breach these Terms or the Contract and are in delay with the fulfilment of your obligations for longer than 30 days, we are entitled to withdraw from the Contract after the expiry of this period. If you are already in delay and declare that you do not intend to fulfil your obligation, or if, having regard to the specific circumstances, it is evident that you will not fulfil it, we may withdraw from the Contract even before the expiry of the period stated in the preceding sentence.
Force majeure. In the event of force majeure or of events that cannot be foreseen (natural disaster, pandemic, operational failures, outages of subcontractors, etc.), we bear no liability for damage caused as a result of or in connection with cases of force majeure, and if the state of force majeure lasts for a period longer than 10 days, we are entitled to withdraw from the Contract.
Effectiveness of withdrawal. Withdrawal from the Contract under this article of the Terms takes effect on the day on which the notice of withdrawal is delivered to you.
Briefly and clearly
We too, as the seller, have the right to withdraw from the contract, namely:
if the ordered product is not available,
if you are in delay with the fulfilment of your obligations for longer than 30 days or if it is evident that you do not intend to fulfil your obligations,
in unforeseeable cases such as a pandemic, a natural disaster or war.
LIABILITY
Limitation of liability. We are liable in full for damage caused to the natural rights of a person and for damage caused intentionally or through gross negligence. We are not liable for other damage. Nor are we liable for compensation for lost profit, the costs of acquiring a substitute product or compensation for non-pecuniary harm (unless these are the cases stated above, in which we cannot exclude liability).
Safety. Please note that the content of the Website is for informative purposes only and can in no case replace consultation with an expert in safety regulations, occupational safety, fire protection, etc. When installing, assembling and handling the products, it is necessary to comply with the instructions and other guidance stated in the enclosed documentation. It is also necessary to carry out regular periodic statutory checks of the products.
Briefly and clearly
Our liability is limited, to the extent permitted by the laws, to direct damage only. To the greatest possible extent to which our liability may be limited under the law, we therefore do not have to compensate lost profit, the costs of acquiring a substitute product or compensation for non-pecuniary harm.
Always consult your safety and fire and other protection with an expert in the field.
