General information
- Unless otherwise expressly stipulated, for the purposes of these Terms and Conditions, any person who enters into a contract with the Seller or otherwise trades with the Seller outside his commercial activity or outside his independent professional practice shall be deemed to be a consumer in accordance with the law.
- These GTC are written in English and the purchase contract is concluded in English.
Order and conclusion of the purchase contract
- The contractual relationship between us and you is governed by the applicable statutory provisions and the purchase contract, of which these Terms and Conditions are an integral part. What we agree otherwise in the contract shall take precedence over the provisions of these General Terms and Conditions.
- Please check the goods and the information you provide before placing your order. To place your order, click on the button "Buy for". This will create a purchase contract between us (our obligation to deliver the goods to you and put you in possession of the goods, and your obligation to take possession of the goods and pay us the purchase price). We will then send you an order confirmation to your email address. Together with this confirmation, you will also receive the text of these General Terms and Conditions. However, you have of course already read them before you complete your order in the online store.
- A contract of purchase is concluded only if all essential elements have been negotiated, as provided by law. If an essential element is missing, no contract can be concluded between us. Furthermore, according to the law, the acceptance of an offer that includes a change or deviation is excluded (that is, if you respond to our offer with an additional request, for example, the contract between us is not automatically concluded without further delay).
- We are entitled to withdraw from the purchase contract at any time until you have accepted the goods. In this case, we will refund the purchase price for the undelivered items immediately and to the account specified by you. In case of non-delivery of the entire order, we will refund you the price including the cost of delivery of the goods.
- We reserve the right to withdraw from the purchase contract if the goods are not available because they are no longer produced or sold out. In such a case, we will of course inform you immediately via the e-mail address provided in the order or by telephone and refund all payments, including delivery costs, that we have received from you under the contract within 14 days of the notification of withdrawal in the same or an agreed manner.
- If a price is quoted, which is obviously a typing or calculation error, the price shall not be binding and no contract shall be concluded between us. The contract becomes binding and valid only after it has been agreed and confirmed by our responsible sales representative.
- When placing an order, you choose the goods, the number of pieces, the method of payment and delivery.
- You are obliged to provide correct and truthful information when ordering products. We consider the information provided in your order to be correct. We are not liable for any damage caused by providing outdated, incorrect or incomplete information, for example, if we cannot deliver a product to you because you provided an incorrect address.
- If the nature of the order is unusual, we may ask you for an additional confirmation by e-mail. In this case, the purchase contract between us is concluded only at the moment of receipt of the order confirmation.
- By entering into a purchase contract, you agree to the use of means of distance communication and to the fact that after the conclusion of the purchase contract we communicate by e-mail about the purchase contract, e.g. about complaints or withdrawal from the purchase contract. The costs incurred when using means of distance communication (e.g. internet connection or telephone costs), which do not differ from the normal rate, are to be borne by you.
- You also agree that we may use an automated communication system (such as a chatbot) to communicate with you. Of course, this will not incur any costs for you.
- By submitting your order, you expressly acknowledge that you are aware that these Terms and Conditions form an integral part of the purchase contract and that you have read these Terms and Conditions in detail, agree to them and undertake to comply with them.
- If we have made a mistake in the price information in the online store or during the ordering process, we are not obliged to deliver the product to you at the wrong price. We will inform you as soon as possible by e-mail or telephone about such an error and send you an updated offer. This will constitute a new offer to purchase. In this case, the purchase contract is not concluded until you confirm that you agree with the new and correct purchase price.
Customer account
- You can order goods from us either through your registered customer account or by filling out the order form without registration.
- With a customer account you not only have an overview of all your orders, but you can also benefit from various other advantages, such as discounts or other special offers for our loyal customers.
- The customer account is protected by a user name (e-mail) and password. Do not disclose this access data to third parties. The customer account belongs to you alone and you are not authorized to give it to third parties for use.
- We are not responsible for any misuse of the customer account by third parties.
- You can terminate your customer account at any time. Likewise, we may terminate it if you violate these Terms and Conditions or the Agreement. However, we will usually inform you in advance.
Payment methods

Delivery methods

Gaining the right of ownership
- If you are a consumer, the ownership of the goods as well as the risk of damage to the goods passes to you when you take over the goods from the contracted transport service provider.
- If you are not a consumer, we will deliver the goods to you by handing them over to the selected carrier and giving you the opportunity to exercise your rights under the transportation contract against the selected carrier. The risk of damage to the goods passes to you when the goods are handed over to the selected carrier for delivery to the destination specified in the order.
Production of team products (tailor-made products)
- If agreed, we can also produce some goods for you according to your requirements.
- In this case, we will conclude the purchase contract together by e-mail. The whole process is that we will make an offer based on your request. Together with the offer, we will send you these terms and conditions. If you agree with the offer, all we need is your approval via email and we can get started. In the confirmation of the offer, you must explicitly agree to these terms and conditions.
- We are ready to develop the graphic design and print preparation of the given product. The price for graphic design and print preparation is 39 EUR + VAT. The price for the graphic design is valid only for a single design/color of the goods.
- In case of non-fulfillment of the order, you agree to pay for the graphic work in the amount of 39 EUR/hour + VAT.
- If you wish to make changes to the graphic design after the design has been approved, you agree to pay an amount of 39 EUR/hour + VAT for the graphic work (will be added to the total amount and indicated on the invoice).

- For detailed information on the ordering and delivery process for team headbands and other tailor-made products, please see the Team Headbands section.
Withdrawal from the contract
- The provisions of this article of the General Terms and Conditions apply exclusively to the Buyer who is a consumer.
- The consumer has the right to cancel the purchase contract within 14 days from the date of receipt of the goods. If we send you the goods in several shipments, the period is calculated from the receipt of the last shipment, on the contrary, if we regularly supply you with some goods, the withdrawal period is calculated from the delivery of the first shipment. The withdrawal period is considered to be met if the consumer sends the seller a notice of withdrawal from the contract during the withdrawal period.
- It is not possible to withdraw from the contract under this article of the General Terms and Conditions if you order customized goods from us. It is not possible under this article to withdraw from a contract where the goods have been made or customized for you according to your wishes.

Rights arising from defective performance (claims) and complaints procedure
1. We are responsible for ensuring that the goods are free from defects upon receipt. In particular, we are responsible for ensuring that the goods:
(a) corresponds to the agreed description, type and quantity as well as quality, functionality, compatibility and other agreed properties;
b) is suitable for the purpose for which you need it and to which we have agreed;
c) is supplied with the agreed accessories and instructions for use, including assembly or installation instructions. We send instructions if it is necessary due to the nature of the goods.
2. We are further responsible for ensuring that in addition to the agreed features:
a) the goods are fit for the purpose for which they are normally used, including with regard to third party rights, legislation, technical standards or industry codes of practice in the absence of technical standards;
b) the goods correspond in quantity, quality and other characteristics, including durability, functionality, compatibility and safety, to the usual characteristics of goods of the same kind that you can reasonably expect, also taking into account public statements by us or any other person in the same contractual chain, in particular advertising or labeling;
c) the goods are supplied with accessories, including packaging, assembly instructions and other instructions for use that you can reasonably expect. We send instructions if it is necessary due to the nature of the goods.
d) the goods correspond in quality or design to the sample or specimen that we provided to you prior to the conclusion of the purchase contract.
We shall not be liable for the last four points if we have expressly informed you before the conclusion of the purchase contract that some features of the goods deviate and you have expressly agreed to this at the conclusion of the purchase contract.
3. You may assert your rights arising from the defective performance within two years after receipt of the goods. If the defect becomes apparent within one year of receipt of the goods, the goods shall be deemed to have been defective upon receipt, unless the nature of the goods or the defect precludes this. This period does not run for the time during which you cannot use the goods if you have justifiably complained about the defect.
4. If you have rightfully complained about the defect, the two-year period for exercising the rights arising from the defective performance does not run during the period in which you could not use the item.
5. You have no rights from defective performance if you caused the defect. A defect in the goods is not normal wear and tear caused by normal use (for example, in the case of fashionable headbands, tearing of the elastic silicone band is not considered a defect, which may tear over time even during normal and proper wear, but this does not affect the functionality and appearance of the headband).
6. In the case of used goods, wear and tear corresponding to the extent of previous use does not constitute a defect. If you purchase a used item from us, you can only assert your rights arising from the defective performance within one year of receipt of these goods.
Complaints procedure
7. You can submit a complaint e.g. via the electronic form available here, by e-mail to info@bjez.eu or by letter sent to Mladoboleslavská 958, Prague 9, 197 00, Czech Republic. Please do not send the goods to us by cash on delivery, we will not accept them.
8. The goods should be delivered complete, i.e. as you received them from us, so that we can assess the complaint.
9. If you would like to make a claim, please let us know:
a) Your contact information;
b) a description of the defect of the goods;
c) the way the complaint should be handled
10. If the goods have a defect, you can demand that the defect be remedied. According to your choice you can demand:
a) Delivery of a new item without defects; or
b) Repair of the item
unless the type of subsequent performance chosen by you is impossible for us or involves disproportionate costs compared to the other type of subsequent performance. In this case, we may refuse to remedy the defect, taking into account in particular the significance of the defect and the value that the goods would have had without the defect.
11. In these cases, you can demand an appropriate price reduction or withdraw from the contract:
a) if we have refused to remedy the defect or have failed to remedy it within a reasonable time after discovery of the defect so that you do not suffer any significant inconvenience;
b) if the defect occurs repeatedly, i.e. three or more times;
c) if the defect constitutes a material breach of contract;
d) if it is clear from our statement or the circumstances that we will not remedy the defect within a reasonable period or without considerable inconvenience to you.
12. However, you cannot withdraw from the contract unless the defect is significant.
13. You can assert your defect rights directly with us.
14. You shall not have to pay us the outstanding purchase price or any part thereof until we have fulfilled our obligations arising from the defective performance.
Processing of complaints
15. Unless another place (e.g. a repair shop) is assigned with the repair, we are obliged to accept the complaint at any place where this is possible within the range, i.e. also at our headquarters.
16. When you submit a request, we will send you an electronic confirmation indicating the date the request was submitted, the content of the request, how the request was processed, and your contact information so that we can let you know when the request was finished.
17. Within 30 days after the complaint (complaint means, that we have received the goods) we will process the complaint (including the elimination of the defect) and inform you about it. We can mutually agree on a longer period. If we do not meet the 30-day deadline, you can withdraw from the contract or ask for a reasonable discount.
18. After the claim has been settled, we will send you an electronic confirmation of the date and method of settlement, including confirmation of the repair and the duration of the repair, or a written confirmation of the rejection of the claim.
19. You are entitled to reimbursement of the costs you have incurred in pursuing the claim (if they are justified and recognized), which costs will be considered the lowest possible. You must request reimbursement of the costs within one month of the expiry of the deadline for the complaint, otherwise the reimbursement may be refused. The right to reimbursement of purposefully incurred costs for filing a claim does not arise if
the buyer is an entrepreneur.
20. Before using a product for the first time, you must read the instructions for use, if we send them to you electronically or with the product, and follow the instructions contained therein. Otherwise, you run the risk that the goods will be damaged by improper use and you will not be able to assert the resulting defect within the scope of your warranty rights.
