The products and goods are sold under an order placed by the Client in writing, by e-mail or fax. The order should specify the quantity, the product type specified with UKP article code, the current shipping address and email address for correspondence purposes. All changes related to delivery address or place of destination may result price amendments and necessity of adding applicable public law charges.
UKP confirms that the order has been accepted within 3 business days of its receipt and specifies in such confirmation the week when the delivery (order) is to be performed. The confirmation issued by UKP is immediately served on the Client in writing, by e-mail or fax.
Any oral or telephone arrangements made by the Client or the UKP employees, as well as supplements and changes are binding upon the parties only if confirmed in writing, by e-mail or fax by the authorised persons. Otherwise they are deemed non-applicable.
If the order has not been cancelled by the Client within 3 business days of being placed, UKP may claim the payment of the agreed amount for the supplied products or goods. The cancellation of the order, partial or complete, can be made in writing, by e-mail or fax and only by the authorised persons.
Once UKP has confirmed that the order is accepted, unless it is cancelled under § 2 .4, a supply contract is deemed executed within the meaning of article 70 of the Polish Civil Code dated 23 April
