2. These Terms and Conditions shall only apply to persons who are entrepreneurs or persons who are not considered consumers by law. An entrepreneur is a person who independently carries out a self-employed activity on his own account and responsibility by means of a trade or similar activity with the intention of doing so on a regular basis for profit. Any person who enters into contracts in connection with his own business, manufacturing or similar activity or in the independent exercise of his profession, or who acts in the name or on behalf of an entrepreneur, shall also be regarded as an entrepreneur. The Special Terms and Conditions for Contracts with Consumers shall apply to legal relations with consumers.

3. In the event that the rights and obligations in the purchase contract differ from these GTC, the deviating provisions in the contract shall prevail.

4. The Seller is not bound by any other terms and conditions unless they have been expressly agreed to in writing by an authorised representative of the Seller.

5. In the event that the Buyer sends the Seller its terms and conditions and the Seller does not expressly agree to them in writing pursuant to paragraph 4 of this article of the GTC, and the purchase contract is nevertheless concluded, the contractual relationship shall be governed by these GTC and the Buyer's terms and conditions shall not apply.

6. The Seller offers the goods mainly via the website www.alda.cz or via the sample room in the Seller's premises in Chlebe u Nymburka.

12. If the buyer refuses to take over the goods in violation of the purchase contract, or if the buyer fails to provide the necessary cooperation to take over the goods or if the buyer fails to collect the goods within the agreed time limit for personal collection, this does not affect the Buyer's obligation to pay the total price (including freight and packing) and the Buyer is obliged to compensate the Seller for the damage caused (including unnecessarily incurred transport costs, even if the Buyer was not obliged to pay the transport costs under the contract of sale, the cost of packing the goods - packing, the value of the depreciated goods, etc. ) and the costs of storage of the goods according to paragraph 11 of this article of the GTC.
