Any declaration sent by mail (tracked delivery) to the Buyer is to be regarded as duly delivered (a) on the 5th (fifth) day after postage (declarations sent within Hungary), (b) on the 10th (tenth) day after postage (declaration sent to any other European country), (c) on the 20th (twentieth) day after postage (declarations sent to countries outside Europe) – (presumption of delivery).

Before a refund, the amount of the Price shall be reduced with costs incurred by the Seller and paid back to the Buyer, without default interest.

The Seller reserves the right to change the Purchase Price of products while accepting that it has no right to change the Purchase Price of a product after the purchase has been confirmed by the Buyer – if that change would entail an extra cost or disadvantage for the Buyer.

(a)] between the Seller and the Buyer is created with the Seller’s confirmation of the purchase; the contract is effective until the Buyer collects the Product(s) – but for a maximum of 30 (thirty) days.

VI.2. The Buyer can request delivery via courier service regardless of the payment method they have chosen.

VI.3. As the transporter of the purchased product, the courier service notifies the Buyer of the arrival of the package without delay. Once the notification has been received the Buyer has the right to decide on the delivery. By default, the courier delivers packages to the address (specified during the ordering process) on business days between 8am and 5pm – this standard service is covered by the delivery price which is included in the Purchase Price. The Buyer has the option to agree with the courier service on a preferred or more specific delivery time (e.g. morning delivery) but the courier company may charge for that extra service based on their own rates. The Buyer is to pay that extra charge to the courier upon product delivery.

VI.4. If the delivery of the product package is delayed or fails for reasons caused by the Buyer (e.g. wrong address provided during the ordering process)or the foreseeability clause [6:142.§ of the Civil Code] is breached for reasons caused by the Buyer’s conduct, the resulting damage (extra cost and other losses) will be borne by the Buyer in full. The Seller cannot be held responsible for these damages either by the Buyer or by a Third Party.

VI.5. It falls upon the Buyer to thoroughly check the contents (quantity and quality) of the package at the time and place of delivery as well as to sign the delivery receipt once they have been convinced that the Seller has delivered on its contractual terms and obligations. An appropriately filled and signed delivery receipt proves (unless the opposite is proven) that the package and its wrapping were in perfect condition and the contents of the package were complete at the time of receipt.

VI.6. In case of incorrect or faulty delivery the Buyer has the obligation to signal the error to the Seller by using any of the contacts listed in the ‘Contact’ section of the MANNA website. A faulty package is a package that is damaged and it lacks the written record/notice acknowledging the damage, or the package does not contain the right product(s) purchased by the Buyer. Any damages (extra costs, other losses) caused by the delay or failure to report the error or by the collection of a damaged (or incomplete) package will be borne by the Buyer.

VI.7. The risk of damage on the purchased product is transferred from the Seller to the Buyer once the Buyer has collected the product.

VI.8. If the Buyer has any complaints regarding the product or the sales service they can send their complaint to the Seller to any contact address listed in the ‘Contact’ menu of the MANNA website or directly to the Seller’s postal address. The Seller considers complaints in the order of receipt but latest within 30 (thirty) days of receipt and notifies the Buyer of the decision through the same communication channel the Buyer used to make their complaint. If their complaint is declined the Buyer can challenge it at supervisory bodies (e.g. the notary of the Consumer Protection Office of Pest County Government Office) or in court.



VII. The amendment of the General Terms and Conditions, expiry of the Purchase Contract and cancellation restraints



VII.1. The Seller has the right to one-sided amendment(s) of the General Terms and Conditions – as a means to protect its own- and its partners’ business interests.

VII.2. It is a duty of the Seller to notify the Buyer and prospective contracting partners about the fact that it is going to exercise its right to change the General Terms and Conditions – as well as about the changing clauses. The notification is to be published as a special notice in the footnotes section of the MANNA website at least 8 (eight) days before the changes take effect.

VII.3. The Purchase Contract is executed when the sale service is fulfilled and the Purchase Price is paid in line with contractual obligations.

VII.5. The Buyer may cancel (withdraw from) the Purchase Contract without stating any reason within 14 (fourteen) calendar days after the collection/receipt of the product package. The cancelled package (which also contains the bank account number of the Buyer) has to be sent with tracked, pre-paid delivery to the address of the Seller latest by the expiry of the withdrawal deadline. The purchased product(s) as well and the original copy of the invoice have to be attached to the declaration of withdrawal. The appropriately formatted and filled declaration of withdrawal and its required annexes void the Purchase Contract once they have been received by the Seller but latest on the day when the presumption of delivery applies. It cancels the Purchase Contract but it has no further legal effect or consequence.

VII.6. The Buyer bears the costs of the product’s return when they exercise the right of withdrawal. The Buyer also bears the costs of any damage resulting from inadequate packaging of the returned product(s) as well as the costs/losses that occur during the return of the product.

VII.7. The Seller pays back the Purchase Price to the Buyer – but the amount of the refund may be reduced by the amount of the return costs which must be paid by the Seller due to this agreement – within 30 (thirteen) days of receiving the withdrawal declaration (or of the day on which the presumption of delivery applies) but the Seller may demand indemnity from the Buyer for any damage resulting from the inappropriate use of the product.

VII.8. The Buyer is not entitled to cancellation referenced in VII.5. if the purchased product is, by nature, non-returnable. By mutual consent, the Contracting Parties qualify as non-returnable any product whose size in terms of texture, quantity, mass or volume (or otherwise measured) does not reach 30 (thirty) % of that of the original product. The product also qualifies as non-returnable if damage to the product’s texture or packaging makes it impossible to verify its origin.

VIII.9. The Buyer cannot exercise their right of withdrawal on the grounds of lapse of interest

VII.10. If the Buyer cancels a Purchase Contract that relates to a product bundle or a product marketed with a ‘3+1 special offer’, the right of withdrawal applies on the whole package and on the whole package only – and consequently to all 4 products bought with the 3+1 special offer. If any of the conditions referenced in VII.8. apply to any of the products in the bundle or in the product mix purchased with the ‘3+1 special offer’ the Buyer cannot exercise their right to cancellation either for the product bundle (or product mix) as a whole or for individual items.
