Delivery is carried out via professional courier companies or a postal operator. Available delivery options are indicated to the Client during the order placement process. The Client selects the preferred delivery method from those available for the given Products.
-
Delivery costs: Delivery costs are borne by the Client. The amount of the delivery cost depends on the selected delivery method, the type and dimensions of the Products, and the delivery address. The delivery cost is displayed to the Client during the order placement process, prior to final order approval.
-
Processing time: The approximate order processing (production) time and delivery time are indicated each time in the Product description or during the order placement process. Delivery time depends on the selected delivery method, the destination country, and the courier company performing the shipment.
-
Packaging and shipment: Products are packaged in a manner appropriate to their nature so as to minimize the risk of damage during transport.
-
Receipt of shipment: The recipient of the shipment (or a person authorized by the Client to receive the shipment) is obliged to inspect the condition of the shipment upon receipt. In the event that external damage to the packaging or other indications of possible damage to the contents are identified, it is recommended to prepare a damage report in the presence of the courier and to immediately contact the Seller. Regardless of the above, any shortages or damage to the Products identified after opening the package should be reported to the Seller within a reasonable time.
-
Transfer of risk: Pursuant to Article 548 §1 of the Polish Civil Code, the benefits and burdens associated with the sold item, as well as the risk of accidental loss or damage to the Products, pass to the Client or the Order Recipient at the moment the Products are handed over to the carrier (courier) for delivery to the Client or the Recipient. The Seller shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of the carrier. However, as part of cooperation with the Client, the Seller may undertake auxiliary actions to assist in pursuing claims against the carrier in the event of transport damage (e.g. by providing necessary documents or information).
-
Failure to collect the shipment: If the Client or the Order Recipient fails to collect the shipment within the agreed time (e.g. refusal to accept, absence at the delivery address, exceeding the collection deadline, etc.), the shipment will be returned to the Seller. In such a case, the Seller will contact the Client in order to arrange re shipment. The Seller may charge the Client additional costs for re shipment or storage, unless the failure to collect was due to reasons attributable to the Seller or the carrier. If contact with the Client or the Order Recipient is not possible, or if the Client or the Order Recipient refuses to cooperate in collecting the shipment, the Seller may withdraw from the sales agreement within 14 days from the return of the shipment. In the event of withdrawal, if the Client has made payment, the Seller will refund the paid amount reduced by the costs incurred for shipment and return of the Products.
§8. Exclusion of warranty, guarantee, and limitation of liability
-
Exclusion of statutory warranty: The Parties (the Seller and the Client being an entrepreneur) mutually exclude the Seller’s liability under statutory warranty for physical and legal defects of the sold Products pursuant to Article 558 §1 of the Polish Civil Code. This means that the Seller is not liable to the Client for defects of the sold item, except where the defect has been fraudulently concealed by the Seller from the Client – in such a case, the exclusion of statutory warranty is ineffective (Article 558 §2 of the Polish Civil Code). This provision does not exclude or limit the Client’s rights arising from any quality guarantee granted for a Product, if such a guarantee has been granted (see section 2 below).
-
Guarantee and shipment liability: The Seller does not provide its own guarantee for the sold Products. The rules for submitting complaints regarding delivered Products are set out in §9 of these Terms and Conditions.
In the event of damage to or loss of a shipment during transport:
-
if the shipment was insured, the Seller will reprocess the order or send a new Product without waiting for the completion of the complaint procedure conducted by the carrier;
-
if the shipment was not insured, fulfillment of a new order will take place after completion of the complaint procedure conducted by the carrier.
-
General limitation of liability: The Seller’s liability towards the Client for non performance or improper performance of the agreement (including the sales agreement for Products and the agreement for the provision of electronic services) is limited to the actual losses incurred and does not include lost profits of the Client. Under no circumstances shall the Seller be liable for indirect, consequential, or special damages that were not foreseeable at the time of conclusion of the agreement.
-
Monetary cap: The total compensatory liability of the Seller towards a given Client, on all grounds, is limited – to the extent permitted by law – to the value of the order to which the damage relates. This limitation does not apply to damage caused by the Seller’s willful misconduct or to liability for personal injury, which cannot be excluded or limited under mandatory provisions of law.
-
Force majeure: The Seller shall not be liable for failure or delay in performance of its obligations caused by force majeure, understood by the Parties as external events beyond the control of the Parties, which could not have been foreseen or prevented despite exercising due care. Force majeure includes in particular natural disasters (floods, fires, earthquakes, etc.), wars, riots, terrorist acts, infrastructure failures (e.g. prolonged power outages, telecommunication network failures), acts of public authorities preventing performance of the agreement, epidemics, and other extraordinary events. In the event of force majeure, the deadline for performance of the Parties’ obligations shall be extended accordingly by the duration of the obstacle. The Party affected by force majeure should promptly inform the other Party of its occurrence.
-
Content provided by the Client: The Seller shall not be liable for materials and content provided by the Client (e.g. graphic files, address lists, print texts) or for their potential unlawfulness or infringement of third party rights. Responsibility for such materials rests with the Client. The Client undertakes to indemnify the Seller and cover any claims of third parties arising in connection with materials provided by the Client for order fulfillment, in particular in the event of infringement of copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, or personal data of third parties.
-
Seller’s obligations: The Seller exercises due care to ensure that product pattern images reflect their color, character, and texture as accurately as possible. Due to factors such as different screen resolutions, calibration, brightness settings, or use of flash, the colors of products displayed on the Client’s device may slightly differ from actual colors. For this reason, the Seller provides, in addition to images, a product description including color information. In case of any doubts, the Client is encouraged to contact the Seller in advance.
The color scheme of the printed Product may slightly differ from the color scheme presented on the Store’s website due to the nature of the printing process. This may result from permissible color variation of approximately 5% saturation as well as from the Client’s monitor settings on which the Product color was displayed.
§9. Complaints
-
Scope of complaints: The Client has the right to submit complaints concerning both the functioning of the Service (electronic services provided) and the performance of sales agreements for Products (e.g. the quality of delivered Products, errors in order fulfillment). Due to the exclusion of statutory warranty (in accordance with §8 section 1), complaints regarding Product defects shall be considered solely under the rules set out in this section, as an amicable procedure for resolving the Client’s claim.
-
Method of submission: Complaints should be submitted in electronic form:
-
via the Product card through the Purchasing Account (using the functionality made available by the Service Provider), or
-
by email to: hello@subforma.com. It is recommended that the Client include in the complaint submission their identifying details (company name, Service login, contact details), the order number (if applicable), a description of the circumstances giving rise to the complaint, and a clear statement of the requested remedy (e.g. re performance of the service, correction of an error, other compensation). Where possible, photographic or other documentation illustrating the issue (e.g. photos of a defective Product, screenshots) should be attached.
-
Time limit for submission: Complaints regarding improper functioning of the Service should be submitted immediately after the issue occurs. Complaints regarding order fulfillment (including Product quality) should be submitted within a reasonable time after discovering the cause, preferably no later than 14 days from receipt of the shipment.
-
Acknowledgement and handling of complaints: The Seller will acknowledge receipt of the complaint (if submitted by email, via a return email). Complaints are handled without undue delay, in the order of receipt. The Seller will respond to the Client within 14 days from the date of receipt of the complaint. The response will be sent to the Client’s email address or provided in another manner indicated by the Client. In particularly complex cases preventing resolution within this timeframe, the Seller will inform the Client of the anticipated longer processing time, together with the reasons for the delay.
-
Acceptance of the complaint: If the complaint is deemed justified, the Seller will take appropriate action to satisfy the Client’s claim. Depending on the nature of the complaint, this may include repair or re production of the defective Product, completion of missing order elements, a price reduction (granting a discount), or exceptionally a refund of the paid price (withdrawal from the agreement by mutual consent with the Client). The chosen method of resolving the accepted complaint should take into account the type of irregularity identified and the justified interests of the Client. In the event of disputes regarding the method of resolution, the Parties shall seek an amicable solution.
-
Rejection of the complaint: If the complaint is rejected as unfounded, the Client will be informed of this decision together with its justification.
-
Limitation of liability after installation: Complaints regarding Products may be accepted only if they are submitted prior to installation of the Product. After installation, the Product is deemed to have been accepted by the Client as compliant with the order, and any irregularities may result from installation errors for which the Seller bears no liability.
-
The provisions of this section do not limit the Client’s rights arising from mandatory provisions of law. Due to the exclusion of statutory warranty, the complaint procedure is contractual in nature. However, Clients who are entrepreneurs are not entitled to statutory warranty rights, except for the situation provided for in Article 558 §2 of the Polish Civil Code (fraudulent concealment of a defect).
-
Complaint procedure for entrepreneurs with consumer rights: The provisions of sections 9–14 of this paragraph apply accordingly to Clients who are natural persons conducting sole proprietorship business activity and who have concluded a Sales Agreement not directly related to the professional nature of their business activity (so called entrepreneurs with consumer rights). The Seller’s liability towards an entrepreneur with consumer rights for lack of conformity of the Product with the agreement lasts for the period provided for in mandatory consumer protection law, calculated from the date of delivery of the Product.
-
In matters not regulated by these Terms and Conditions, complaints submitted by entrepreneurs with consumer rights shall be governed accordingly by consumer law provisions on lack of conformity of goods with the contract.
-
The Seller shall respond to a complaint submitted by an entrepreneur with consumer rights within 14 days from receipt. Failure to respond within this period shall be deemed acceptance of the complaint.
-
If a complaint submitted by an entrepreneur with consumer rights is accepted, the Seller, at the Client’s choice and within the limits provided by law, may:
-
bring the Product into conformity with the agreement by repair or re production,
-
reduce the price of the Product,
-
refund all or part of the paid price,
-
withdraw from the agreement if the non conformity of the Product with the agreement is significant.
-
The exclusion of statutory warranty provided for in §8 of these Terms and Conditions does not apply to entrepreneurs with consumer rights to the extent resulting from mandatory provisions of law.
-
Complaints regarding Products manufactured to the Client’s individual order may be accepted only to the extent that the identified non conformity does not result from materials, designs, or files provided by the Client.
§10. Right of withdrawal from the agreement
-
A Client who is a natural person conducting sole proprietorship business activity and who concludes a Sales Agreement not directly related to the professional nature of their business activity (the so called entrepreneur with consumer rights within the meaning of Article 38a of the Act of 30 May 2014 on Consumer Rights) has the right to withdraw from a distance agreement without stating any reason, subject to section 8 below.
-
The withdrawal period shall expire 14 days from the day on which:
-
the Product is taken into possession by the Client or a third party indicated by the Client other than the carrier, or
-
in the case of an agreement covering multiple Products delivered separately, in batches, or in parts, from the day on which the last Product, batch, or part is taken into possession.

-
The Seller may withhold reimbursement until the Product has been received back or until the Client has provided proof of return, whichever occurs first.
-
The reimbursement shall be made using the same means of payment as used by the Client in the original transaction, unless the Client expressly agrees otherwise. The Client shall not incur any fees in connection with such reimbursement. The Seller may withhold reimbursement until the Product has been received back or until proof of its return has been provided, whichever occurs first.
-
The right of withdrawal does not apply in the cases specified in Article 38 of the Act on Consumer Rights, in particular with respect to agreements:
-
for the supply of non prefabricated Products manufactured according to the Client’s specifications or serving to satisfy the Client’s individualized needs, including Products manufactured on the basis of files, designs, patterns, or other materials provided by the Client;
-
where the Client has expressly consented to the commencement of order fulfillment (in particular production) before the expiry of the withdrawal period and has been informed of the loss of the right of withdrawal on that basis.
-
Where the right of withdrawal applies, the Client is obliged to return the Product to the address indicated by the Seller without undue delay and no later than 14 days from the day on which the Client informed the Seller of the withdrawal from the agreement. To meet the deadline, it is sufficient to send the Product back before the expiry of the 14 day period.
-
The Client shall bear the direct costs of returning the Product, unless the Seller has agreed to bear those costs or has failed to inform the Client of the obligation to bear them.
-
The Client shall be liable for any diminished value of the Product resulting from use of the Product beyond what is necessary to establish its nature, characteristics, and functioning.
-
The provisions of this section do not apply to Clients who are entrepreneurs other than entrepreneurs with consumer rights, who are not entitled to withdraw from a distance agreement.
