If the Buyer states in the purchase order his/her Reg. No., the Buyer thereby acknowledges that the Seller considers him/her to be an entrepreneur.

3.1. The entire presentation of products placed on the web interface of the internet shop is of an informative nature, and the Seller is not obliged to conclude a contract of purchase regarding these product items. The provisions of Section 1732, Clause 2 of the Civil Code are not applicable.

3.2. The web interface of the internet shop contains information about products. The prices of products are stated inclusive of VAT at the legal rate and including all the related fees, particularly the fees pertaining to the costs for packaging and delivery of the goods. The prices remain valid as long as they are displayed on the web interface of the internet shop. This provision does not prevent the Seller from concluding a contract of purchase under individually agreed terms and conditions.

3.3. When ordering and purchasing products in the internet shop, the Buyer mainly selects a product (puts it in the online shopping cart), the manner of payment (payment of the purchase price) and the data pertaining to the required manner of delivery, while confirming the information about the costs relating to the delivery of the products (hereinafter also referred to collectively as the “Order”).

3.4. Prior to sending the Order to the Seller, the Buyer is allowed to check and modify the data entered in the Order, including the possibility to ascertain and correct the errors incurred when entering the data in the Order in the internet shop. The Seller considers the data stated in the Order to be correct. After receiving the Order, the Seller shall forthwith confirm the receipt of the Order via electronic mail sent to the address stated by the Buyer in the user interface (hereinafter referred to as the “Buyer’s email address”).

3.5. Depending on the character of the Order (the quantity, weight, purchase price, expected transportation and packaging costs), the Seller is always entitled to ask the Buyer for additional confirmation of the Order, with proposed modifications of the contractual terms and conditions and/or additional information (by email, telephone, in writing).

3.6. The contractual relation between the Seller and the Buyer comes into effect upon the delivery of the Order (its acceptance), sent by the Seller to the Buyer by email to the Buyer’s email address.

The costs incurred on the part of the Buyer when using remote communication means in connection with the entering into a contract on purchase (costs for internet connection, telephone calls, etc.) shall be covered by the Buyer, with these costs not differing from the basic rate (the Seller shall not charge any fees for these services).

4. PRICE AND PAYMENT TERMS

payment by a MasterCard or Visa card via secure internet payment gateways (online card payment);
payment in cash/by a card on delivery in the Czech Republic (Česká pošta / Czech Post);
payment against an invoice with an agreed maturity (only for entrepreneurs provided that the respective terms and conditions are met).

4.2. The individual manners of payment are offered and accepted according to the current availability, or in dependence on the specific product and the time of purchase. The Buyer respects the options offered on the web interface and the online shopping cart, particularly in the event of a combined purchase of various types of products. The information in the shopping cart and the acceptance of the order by the Seller includes information specifying the place and time of the handover of the goods and subscription paid for in advance, or the place and time of handing over the tickets paid in advance. Goods paid in advance (e.g. books, theatre programmes, T-shirts, etc.) can be collected in person at the determined collection point at the earliest at noon on the working day following the day on which the order has been paid. Selected goods are available at the box offices of the Seller for direct purchase by card/in cash without prior ordering and payment via the internet shop. The Buyer acknowledges that the extent of such selection of products need not comply with the selection of products offered via the internet shop.

4.3. Tickets and subscriptions can in general be booked via the web interface or by telephone for a later purchase, usually for three calendar days. Reservations are usually not possible for the time shorter than 48 hours prior to a performance, in such a case tickets can only be directly bought via the web interface, at the box offices of the Seller or from authorised dealers. Reservations made earlier have a shorter time of validity, so as not to apply to 48 hours prior to a performance.

4.4. The Seller reserves the right not to make it possible, permanently or temporarily, to reserve tickets for selected titles or performances and solely offer tickets for such performances in the direct sale mode. The Seller also reserves the right to cancel the already made reservations should it assess them as speculative, inappropriate or repeated, thus preventing the other possible theatre goers from purchasing or booking tickets. In the event that an e-ticket is handed over or given as a present to another person, the Buyer is obliged to warn the respective person that should a performance be cancelled the National Theatre merely returns money to the person who has purchased the e-ticket.

4.5. In addition to the purchase price, the Buyer is obliged to pay the Seller for the costs pertaining to packaging and delivery of products. Unless stipulated otherwise, the purchase price and the costs pertaining to packaging and delivery of products are understood as VAT inclusive.

4.6. In the event of credit transfer payment, the Buyer is obliged to state the variable symbol of the payment when paying the purchase price of a product. In the event of credit transfer, the Buyer’s obligation to pay a purchase price is met upon the crediting of the respective amount to the bank account of the Seller.

4.7. In view of minimising the possibility of occurrence of losses and securing smooth supply, the Seller reserves the right to deliver to the Buyer goods or tickets, or to launch the performance of services only after the total purchase price has been fully paid, especially in the cases that the Buyer within a single order or/and within a single day has ordered products whose total value exceeds CZK 10,000, VAT inclusive, that it concerns goods whose stocks in the warehouse are small or goods whose availability is limited, that legal or other circumstances conduce the Seller to proceed in this way, that the Buyer fails to additionally confirm an Order (Article 3.6.). Such proceeding applies to the sending to the Buyer and payment in the form of payment on delivery, to payment against an invoice by an entrepreneur, whereby the Seller can at any time require an advance payment in the form of payment of a deposit invoice prior to the delivery of goods. The provisions of Section 2119, Clause 1 of the Civil Code are not applicable. For the same reasons, the Seller reduces the number of items purchased within a single sale transaction, usually limited to the maximum of 10 items.

4.8. The discounts on the price of products that may be granted by the Seller to the Buyer cannot be combined. Discounts are granted to specific groups of Buyers, mainly in the case of tickets, and discounts can also be granted in the case of all products on the basis of temporary special offers. The type and level of a discount is printed on tickets and the auditorium staff are entitled to ask the Buyer upon entering the auditorium to document the title to a discount, if the discount is bound to documenting the title (the respective age, membership in a loyalty programme, ownership of a licence in the form of the respective document, etc.).

4.9. If conventional in commercial relations or if stipulated in generally binding legal regulations, the Seller shall make out a tax document for the Buyer on the basis of a contract of purchase. The Seller is a VAT payer. The Seller shall make out a tax document and send it together with the goods ordered to the Buyer. The VAT rate differs in dependence on the nature of the purchased products, while in the case of some products the Seller is exempt from VAT, pursuant to Section 61, Letter e) of Act No. 235/2004, on value added tax, particularly in the case of tickets.

The Consumer can use the attached model form for withdrawal from a contract, yet he/she is not obliged to do so.

5.3.

5.4. Should the Seller allow the Buyer/entrepreneur to withdraw from a contract of purchase within the deadline of fourteen (14) days, the entrepreneur acknowledges that the purchase price that shall be returned to him/her shall be reduced by the amount corresponding to the value by which the price of the goods has been reduced.

5.5. In the event of withdrawal from a contract of purchase pursuant to Article 5.2 herein the contract of purchase shall become null and void from the beginning. The purchased goods must be returned to the Seller within fourteen (14) days from the day on which the Buyer has withdrawn from the contract. Should the Buyer withdraw from a contract of purchase, the Buyer shall cover the costs for the return of the goods to the Seller, including in the case that the goods cannot be, owing to their nature, returned in the usual postal way.

5.10. The Consumer is obliged to pay the proportionate part of the price in the event of withdrawal from a contract whose subject is the provision of services that have started to be provided.

5.11. The Seller does not take back purchased tickets, nor does the Seller swap them for any other tickets, whatever the reason for the required substitution or cancellation may be. When purchasing a product, the Buyer is obliged to check all the data pertaining to the performance (event) for which he/he is purchasing a ticket – the venue, date, time, auditorium seat, visibility from the respective seat, the price, application of a discount – and consider carefully whether, in relevant cases, it would be reasonable to establish a commercial policy with a third party (usually an insurance company) for the event of a necessary cancellation of a ticket, owing to falling ill, for instance. The Seller does not mediate such insurance. Lost tickets are not indemnified.

5.12. The programme and cast may be changed (hereinafter referred to collectively as the “change in the performance”).

If the Buyer does take over a damaged or incomplete consignment, the Buyer must inform the Seller forthwith by email or by post.

a) the product features the properties that have been agreed by the parties, and if there is no such agreement, it possesses the qualities described by the Seller or its manufacturer, or the qualities the Buyer expected it to posses with respect to the nature of the product and in line with the advertising carried out by them,
b) the product is suitable to serve the purpose that the Seller claims it is used for or the purpose for which the product of this type is commonly used,
c) the product’s quality or design complies with that of the agreed sample or the model product, if the quality or design have been set according to the agreed sample or model product,
d) the product is in the accordant quantity, dimension or weight,
e) the product meets the requirements set forth in legal regulations.

7.3. The provisions stipulated in Article 7.2. herein are not applicable in the case of a product sold at a reduced price owing to a defect that has led to arranging the reduced price, wear and tear caused by its customary use, in the case of second-hand goods owing to a defect corresponding to the degree of use or wear and tear, which the product had upon its takeover by the Buyer, or if it does not result from the nature of the goods. The Buyer is not entitled to claim faulty performance if the Buyer was aware of the product being faulty prior to taking over of the product, or if the Buyer himself has caused the defect.

7.4. The Buyer may lodge a claim arising from faulty performance to the Seller at the main box office of the National Theatre (Národní 4, foyer of the New Stage, Prague 1). The moment of making a claim is considered to be the moment when the Seller receives the reclaimed goods from the Buyer. The Buyer is obliged to notify the Seller of a defect without undue delay after the Buyer has had the opportunity to detect it during a timely inspection and with sufficient care.

7.5. Should the Buyer lodge a claim in writing, the Seller shall inform the Buyer of having received the claim, as well as the manner of its settlement and the duration of the settlement, no later than within two (2) working days.

The defects of such origin are not covered by the granted guarantee.

7.10. Should faulty performance grossly breach the contract concluded between the parties, the Buyer is entitled to:
rectification of the defect by means of being delivered a new, faultless product or by being delivered a missing product;
rectification of the defect by means of having the product repaired;
a commensurate discount on the purchase price;
withdraw from the contract.

The Buyer shall inform the Seller of which of the above options he/she has chosen, in the event of having notified the Seller of the defect or without undue delay after notifying the Seller of the defect. The Buyer cannot change the option he has chosen without having received the assent from the Seller, yet this does not apply if the Buyer has required repairs of a defect that has proved to be irreparable. Should the Seller fail to rectify the defect within a reasonable period of time or should the Seller inform the Buyer that the defect shall not be rectified, the Buyer is entitled to require instead a commensurate discount on the purchase price or is entitled to withdraw from the contract of purchase. The Buyer (Consumer) is also entitled to be granted a commensurate discount in the event that the Seller cannot provide the Buyer with a new, faultless product, replace a part thereof or repair the product, as well as in the event that the Seller fails to secure rectification within a reasonable period of time or in the event that securing the rectification would cause the Buyer considerable difficulties. Should the Buyer fail to choose one of the aforementioned options in due time, he/she possesses the rights identical with those pertaining to a minor breach of the contract (see below).

7.11. If faulty performance constitutes a minor breach of the contract, the Buyer is entitled to have the defect rectified or to be granted a commensurate discount on the purchase price. At its own discretion, the Seller can rectify the defect either by repairing the product or by providing a new product. Should the Seller fail to rectify the defect in due time or should the Seller refuse to rectify the defect, the Buyer is entitled to require a discount on the purchase price or to withdraw from the contract. The Buyer cannot change the option he/she has chosen without having received the assent from the Seller.

7.12. The Buyer is also entitled to be provided with a new product or have a part thereof replaced in the case of a rectifiable defect, if the Buyer is not able to use the product owing to repeated occurrences of the defect following repairs or owing to a high number of defects. In such a case, the Buyer is entitled to withdraw from the contract.

7.13. Should the Buyer fail to inform the Seller of the defect in due time and without undue delay after the Buyer could have ascertained it if checked in time and sufficiently attended to it, the Buyer is not legally entitled to claim faulty performance. This also applies if the defect is hidden, if the defect has not been notified of without undue delay after the Buyer could have ascertained it if checked in time and sufficiently attended to it, yet no later than within two years following the taking over of the product.

7.14. The Buyer is not entitled to withdraw from the contract, nor is the Buyer entitled to require delivery of a new product, if the Buyer is not able to return the product in the condition in which he/she has received it (including accessories). This does not apply if:
the condition of the product has resulted from the inspection with the aim to ascertain the product’s defect;
the Buyer used the product prior to having ascertained the defect;
the Buyer did not cause the impossibility of returning the product in an unchanged condition by his/her conduct or negligence;
the Buyer has sold the product prior to having discovered he defect, if the Buyer consumed or modified the product while using it in the customary manner; if this has only occurred in part, the Buyer shall return to the Seller that which the Buyer can still return, and compensate the Seller to the extent to which the Buyer has profited from using the product.

7.15. In view of protecting the consumer rights of the Buyer, if the Buyer is a legal person and shall require repayment of a credit in cash, the respective amount shall only be given to such persons authorised to act on behalf of the legal person in question, i.e. a statutory body or a person who shall present an officially authenticated power of attorney.
