3.8. The provisions of this article do not establish an obligation of the Operator to carry out systematic control of content, nor do they mean assumption of responsibility for the content of Offers; responsibility for the Offer is always borne by the Seller.
Paid Tariffs and Subscription
4.1. The Seller is entitled to publish Offers on the Platform on the basis of the free FREE tariff (hereinafter referred to as the “FREE Tariff”) or on the basis of a prepaid tariff (hereinafter referred to as the “Tariff”).
4.2. The FREE Tariff allows the Seller to publish 3 products and 3 semi-finished products free of charge; therefore, courses and custom production are not included in this FREE Tariff.
4.3. The paid Tariff provides a time-limited right to publish a certain maximum number of Offers within a specific category.
4.4. The following types of offers may be offered on the Platform: finished products, semi-finished products, courses and custom production. Each type of Offer has a separate Tariff and capacity is not transferred between individual types of Offers.
4.5. The current price list of Tariffs and the limits on the number of published Offers are available on the Price List page.
4.6. The selected tariff is paid in advance for the chosen period, either for one month or for one year. The Tariff is not renewed automatically. The Tariff may be paid by instant payment through a selected payment gateway or by bank transfer. Payment details for bank transfer shall be sent to the Seller to the e-mail specified in the Tariff order in the form of a proforma invoice. After the payment is credited to the Operator’s account, an invoice for the paid payment shall subsequently be issued to the Seller and sent via the specified e-mail. The Tariff is valid from the moment the payment is credited to the Operator’s bank account until the end of the paid period.
4.7. In the event of a change from a lower tariff to a higher tariff, the change becomes effective at the moment of payment of the higher tariff. In the event of a change from a higher tariff to a lower tariff, the change becomes effective only after the expiry of the paid period.
4.8. The Offer limit always applies only to the currently active Tariff period. After purchase of a new Tariff, a new limit begins to run regardless of the number of Offers published in the previous period.
4.9. Unused Offer capacity within the Tariff is not transferred to the next period. If the Seller does not use the maximum number of Offers in the given month, he/she shall not be entitled to transfer the unused limit to the next period or to a refund of the price of the Tariff or any part thereof. The Operator is not obliged to provide the Seller with any compensation for the unused limit of the number of published Offers within the prepaid Tariff.
4.10. In the event of a change of Tariff from a lower to a higher one, the higher Tariff is activated immediately after the payment is credited to the Operator’s bank account. The amount of the payment corresponds to the difference between the original lower Tariff and the new higher Tariff. The tariff upgrade may be paid by instant payment through a selected payment gateway or by bank transfer. Payment details for bank transfer shall be sent to the Seller to the e-mail specified in the Tariff order in the form of a proforma invoice. After the payment is credited to the Operator’s account, an invoice for the paid payment shall subsequently be issued to the Seller and sent via e-mail.
4.11. In the event of a change of Tariff from a higher to a lower one, the new lower Tariff is activated only after the end of the already paid period. Until then, the original higher Tariff remains active. No fee is charged for the change to a lower Tariff. The new lower Tariff may be paid by instant payment through a selected payment gateway or by bank transfer. Payment details for bank transfer shall be sent to the Seller to the e-mail specified in the Tariff order in the form of a proforma invoice. After the payment is credited to the Operator’s account, an invoice for the paid payment shall subsequently be issued to the Seller and sent via e-mail.
4.12. In the event of a change from a prepaid Tariff to the FREE tariff, the FREE Tariff is activated only after the end of the already paid period. Until then, the original prepaid Tariff remains active. No fee is charged for the change to the FREE tariff.
4.13. Seven days before the end of the prepaid Tariff, a proforma invoice automatically created in the Operator’s system shall be sent to the Seller by e-mail for payment of an identical Tariff for the next period. If this invoice is paid, the existing Tariff shall be extended for the next period; otherwise, the Tariff shall be cancelled on the last day of the paid period.
4.14. In the event that the Seller enters a Tariff change on the Platform, does not pay for the executed change and subsequently cancels it, a new proforma invoice corresponding to the original tariff shall be automatically issued in the Operator’s system and sent to the Seller’s e-mail. The original proforma invoice shall be automatically cancelled upon issuance of the new proforma invoice.
4.15. In the event that the Seller has a prepaid Tariff for multiple types of offers (e.g. finished products and courses) and cancels one of these prepaid Tariffs, the cancelled Tariff remains active until the end of the already paid period. After its expiry, the cancelled Tariff shall be automatically transferred to the FREE Tariff. A proforma invoice shall subsequently be issued only for the non-cancelled prepaid Tariff.
4.16. In the event that the Seller has a prepaid higher Tariff for one of the offer types (e.g. for products) and subsequently orders a lower Tariff for another of the offer types (e.g. for courses), the newly ordered Tariff shall be active immediately after the payment is credited to the Operator’s bank account. The price for the newly ordered Tariff shall be charged in a proportional amount corresponding to the remaining part of the period of the already prepaid higher Tariff. The Tariff may be paid by instant payment through a selected payment gateway or by bank transfer. Payment details for bank transfer shall be sent to the Seller’s e-mail specified in the Tariff order in the form of a proforma invoice. After the payment is credited to the Operator’s account, an invoice for the paid payment shall subsequently be issued to the Seller and sent via e-mail.
4.17. If the Seller does not pay for a new Tariff after the end of the Tariff period, the Seller’s Offers shall be automatically hidden and shall not be publicly available to Buyers. Hidden Offers remain stored in the Seller’s account for up to 1 year from the date they were hidden so that the Seller can reuse them upon reactivation of the Tariff. After this period, the Operator is entitled to delete the hidden Offers without further notice.
4.18. In the event of repurchase of the Tariff, the Seller is entitled to reactivate selected hidden Offers, up to the limit of the currently purchased Tariff. By activating a hidden Offer, its number is counted towards the total Offer limit within the given Tariff; this means that if, for example, the Seller has hidden Offers stored and reactivates them, the remaining free limit for new Offers in the given Tariff period is reduced by their number.
4.19. The Operator reserves the right to change the price list of Tariffs and the scope of their parameters at any time. Changes do not affect an already paid Tariff period; for a new Tariff period, the price list valid at the time of ordering and payment of the Tariff shall apply.
