III. About our contractual relationship
How can you order licences?
- You can purchase licences for our software in the e-shop via the form that appears after you add the software “to the cart” and click on the “cart” icon. You will then enter your billing information in that form. If you already concluded any agreements with us in the past, your information will be filled in automatically thanks to your user account. However, you can always check the information and change it if necessary. The form also contains information about the software, in particular its type or name, quantity and licence fee (price), which you can check. Based on that information, you will create an order (hereinafter the “Order”), and we consider all data that you enter in the Order to be complete, correct, up-to-date and true.
- After you send us the Order, we will send you a confirmation of its receipt to the e-mail address you provided in the Order. If the Order is unusual (e.g. in terms of a large quantity, a high price or unlikely billing information), we are entitled to contact you and confirm the Order with you once again.
- The agreement between us is deemed concluded upon delivery of a confirmation that we have accepted the Order to your e-mail address. By the agreement, we undertake to provide you with the authorisation to exercise the intellectual property right (licence) in the agreed scope and to provide you with support and updates, and you undertake to pay us a fee for the licence and related support provided.
- We conclude the agreement on the provision of services for an indefinite period; we will provide services to you until you terminate the agreement. The billing period is always 12 months.

We will provide you with our services until the end of the billing period in which you terminated the agreement. Payments for the current billing period in which you terminated the agreement are non-refundable, and we will not refund any money for your partial billing period.
How can you pay for software and our services?
- You can pay the fee (price for the software) in the following ways:
- by cashless payment through the Stripe.com;

What about withdrawing from the agreement?
- The possibilities and conditions of withdrawal from the agreement shall apply in relation to you only if you enter into the contractual relationship as a consumer. This means that you enter into the agreement outside the scope of your business or outside the scope of self-employment.
- According to the Civil Code, a consumer generally has the right to withdraw from an agreement concluded via the Internet within 14 days of receipt of the goods. However, our software has certain specifics in this respect because it is digital content, so you do not always have the right to withdraw from the agreement.
- As our software constitutes digital content, we have this IMPORTANT NOTICE for you. You have no right to withdraw from an agreement on the provision of digital content that has not been delivered on tangible media because you, as a consumer, by accepting these Terms and Conditions and concluding the agreement with us expressly agree that the software (digital content) will be delivered to you before the expiry of the withdrawal period, and we hereby inform you that in such a case you do not have the right to withdraw from the agreement, all within the meaning of Section 1837l) of the Civil Code.
- If you have the right to withdraw from the agreement within 14 days of receipt of the goods or software, we also provide you with the following information in this respect:
- if you decide to withdraw from the agreement, please use the withdrawal form attached to these Terms and Conditions;
- within 14 days of your valid withdrawal from the agreement, if you have the right to it, we will refund you the amount fully corresponding to the price of the goods and the paid costs for their delivery, in the same manner in which we received the payment from you. You are obliged to send the purchased goods to us at Nezamyslova 396, 397 01 Písek or otherwise hand the goods over to us within the same time limit. The goods should be returned complete and in the original packaging, and must not show any signs of wear or damage. We have the right to assess, within the above time limit, whether the returned goods are undamaged, intact and unused, and whether or not you have caused a reduction in the value of those goods by handling the goods other than necessary with regard to the nature and characteristics of the goods;
- in the event of withdrawal from the agreement, you will bear the costs associated with returning the goods back to us if the goods cannot be returned by regular mail due to their nature.
- If the returned goods are damaged due to your mishandling, we will be entitled to claim compensation for the reduced value of the goods and set it off against the amount refunded.
- Pursuant to Act No. 634/1992 Coll., on Consumer Protection, as amended, you have the right to an out-of-court settlement of a consumer dispute arising from the agreement. In such a case, you may approach the Czech Trade Inspection Authority (Central Inspectorate – ADR Department, Štěpánská 15, 120 00 Prague 2, e-mail: adr@coi.cz, web: adr.coi.cz). Out-of-court (alternative) settlement of a consumer dispute is initiated exclusively at the request of the consumer if the dispute has not been resolved directly with the seller. The request may be submitted no later than 1 year from the date on which the consumer first exercised the right under the dispute with the seller. You may initiate the out-of-court (alternative) settlement procedure online using the ODR platform available at ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/.
Some other conditions concerning the conclusion of the agreement

- At your request, we will be happy to make individual modifications to the purchased software; however, any such modifications are not included in the price for the software and the conditions for creating such a modification must be individually agreed with the Provider.
- If the e-shop lists a price where it is obvious that there is an error in typing or numbers, that price is not binding and the agreement will not be concluded.
