Entering the Purchase Contract

All presentation of the goods placed in the shop web interface is of an informative nature and the Seller is not obliged to conclude a Purchase Contract regarding these goods. Section 1732(2) of the Civil Code shall not apply.
The shop web interface contains information about the goods, including the prices of the individual goods. The prices of the goods are inclusive of value‍-‍added tax and all related charges. The prices of the goods remain valid for as long as they are displayed in the shop web interface. This provision does not limit the Seller’s ability to conclude a Purchase Contract on individually agreed terms.
The shop web interface also contains information on the costs associated with the delivery and packaging of goods. The delivery price is set as a flat amount according to the country of delivery, the selected delivery method and whether the Buyer is purchasing as a consumer or as a wholesale customer.
To order goods, the Buyer fills in the order form in the shop web interface. The order is completed in three steps – selection of payment and delivery method, filling in address details, and submitting the order. The order form contains in particular information about:
1. billing and delivery data (first and last name, optionally company name, registration number, VAT number, address, telephone contact and email address)
2. the goods ordered (the goods ordered are added by the Buyer into the electronic shopping cart of the shop web interface)
3. the method of payment of the purchase price of the goods
4. the required method of delivery of the goods ordered and information about the costs associated with the delivery of the goods (hereinafter collectively referred to as the Order)
The Order must contain the necessary information for its proper processing, dispatch and delivery to the carrier. This information is marked as a mandatory field in the order form.
Before the order is sent to the Seller, the Buyer is allowed to check and change the data entered in the order, including the ability to detect and correct errors in the data entered. The Buyer shall send the order to the Seller by clicking the Pay button. The data provided in the order are considered correct by the Seller. The Seller shall confirm receipt of the order to the Buyer immediately upon receipt by email to the Buyer’s email address specified in the User Account or in the order (hereinafter the Buyer’s email address).
Depending on the nature of the order (quantity of goods, purchase price, estimated shipping costs), the Seller is always entitled to ask the Buyer for additional confirmation of the order (e.g. in writing or by telephone).
The contractual relationship between the Seller and the Buyer is established by the delivery of the acceptance of the order (acceptance), which is sent by the Seller to the Buyer by email to the Buyer’s email address. The acceptance of the order includes the current version of the Terms and Conditions.
The resulting contract (including the agreed price) may only be amended or cancelled by agreement of the parties or on the basis of legal grounds, unless otherwise stated in the Terms and Conditions. The Buyer may cancel or modify an order that has already been sent until it is deemed to have been settled, i.e. dispatch or personal collection of the ordered goods by the Buyer has taken place. If the Buyer wishes to cancel the order, this can be done in the following ways:
1. by email to info@fathers.cz, or
2. by phone at +420 736 532 744 (on working days from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm).
A single order may always contain only one kind of performance – either goods, or a coffee subscription, or a coffee course order. If the Buyer adds a different kind of performance to the shopping cart, the web interface of the shop will notify the Buyer and request confirmation; should the Buyer wish to order several kinds of performance, they shall do so in separate orders.
The Buyer agrees to the use of remote means of communication in concluding the Purchase Contract. The costs incurred by the Buyer in using distance communication means in connection with the conclusion of the Purchase Contract (internet connection costs, telephone call costs) shall be borne by the Buyer and shall not differ from the basic rate.
The Buyer acknowledges that there may be cases where the contract between the Seller and the Buyer is not concluded, in particular if the Buyer orders goods at a price published in error due to an error in the Seller’s internal information system. In such a case, the Seller shall inform the Buyer of such fact.
The Seller reserves the right to declare the Purchase Contract null and void if there has been misuse of personal data, misuse of a credit card, etc., or due to the intervention of an administrative or judicial authority. The Buyer will be informed of such procedure. The Buyer acknowledges that in these cases the Purchase Contract cannot be validly concluded.

Price of Goods and Payment Terms

The Buyer may pay the price of the goods and any costs associated with the delivery of the goods under the Purchase Contract to the Seller in the following ways:
1. by credit or debit card via the GoPay payment gateway;
2. via Apple Pay through the GoPay payment gateway;
3. via Google Pay through the GoPay payment gateway;
4. by bank transfer to the Seller’s bank account via a QR code generated by the GoPay payment gateway;
5. in cash on delivery at the place specified by the Buyer in the order (cash is collected from the Buyer by the carrier);
6. in cash or by card upon personal collection at the Seller’s premises – the roastery in Ostrava (Mitrovická 128/66, Ostrava 72400) or Father’s Coffee Store in Prague;
7. payment by invoice with due date (only for entrepreneurs by individual agreement with the Seller).
The availability of individual payment methods varies according to the contents of the order, the selected delivery method and the country of delivery. Cash on delivery may be selected only for delivery within the Czech Republic and only for those delivery methods that permit it; if cash on delivery is not supported at the selected pick‍-‍up point or parcel box, it cannot be used. Cash on delivery furthermore cannot be used to pay for a gift subscription order or a coffee course order. Coffee courses can be paid for exclusively by cashless payment via the GoPay payment gateway. The Seller may refuse payment by invoice to a Buyer who has unpaid overdue invoices with the Seller. The payment methods available for a particular order are displayed to the Buyer in the web interface of the shop before the order is submitted.
The prices of the goods listed on the Website are rounded up to the nearest whole crown when displayed in CZK currency.
Together with the purchase price, the Buyer is also obliged to pay the Seller the costs associated with the packaging and delivery of the goods in the agreed amount. Unless expressly stated otherwise, the purchase price also includes the costs associated with the delivery of the goods.
In the case of online cashless payment (credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, QR code), the purchase price is payable immediately upon submitting the order. The goods will be prepared for dispatch or personal collection only after successful payment processing. In the case of cash on delivery, the purchase price is payable upon receipt of the goods.
In the case of payment in cash or cash on delivery, the purchase price is payable upon receipt of the goods.
In the case of cashless payment, the Buyer’s obligation to pay the purchase price is fulfilled when the relevant amount is credited to the Seller’s account through the payment gateway.
The Seller shall be entitled, in particular in the event that the Buyer fails to subsequently confirm the order, to require payment of the full purchase price before the goods are dispatched to the Buyer. Section 2119(1) of the Civil Code shall not apply.
Any discounts on the price of the goods granted by the Seller to the Buyer cannot be combined, unless expressly stated otherwise by the Seller.
If it is customary in the course of business or if provided for by generally binding legal regulations, the Seller shall issue a tax document – invoice – to the Buyer in respect of payments made under the Purchase Contract. The Seller is liable for value‍-‍added tax. The Seller shall issue the tax document – invoice to the Buyer after payment of the price of the goods and send it in electronic form to the Buyer’s email address.
The Buyer’s billing information cannot be changed after the order has been dispatched.
When delivering goods to a Buyer who is not a value‍-‍added tax payer to a European Union Member State other than the Czech Republic, the Seller applies value‍-‍added tax at the rate applicable in the country of delivery under the One Stop Shop regime.
If the Buyer orders as an entrepreneur and provides a VAT identification number (hereinafter the VAT ID), the Buyer acknowledges that the Seller verifies this number. The Seller verifies Czech VAT IDs against the ARES register of economic entities, including a match with the stated company identification number. The Seller verifies VAT IDs issued in another European Union Member State in the VIES system operated by the European Commission. The Seller does not verify VAT IDs issued outside the European Union.
1. The VAT ID must begin with the country code of the state that issued it, and this code must match the country of the Buyer’s billing address. If the VAT ID entered does not comply with this rule, the web interface of the shop will not accept the order.
2. If the Buyer’s VAT ID issued in a European Union Member State other than the Czech Republic is successfully verified and the goods are delivered to a European Union Member State, the Seller shall issue the tax document without value‍-‍added tax under the reverse charge regime. In such a case, the obligation to declare and pay value‍-‍added tax passes to the Buyer.
3. If the VAT ID is not verified as valid for an exempt supply, or if it is a VAT ID issued outside the European Union, the Seller shall issue the tax document including value‍-‍added tax. The Buyer is notified of this in the web interface of the shop before the order is submitted.
4. If the relevant register is unavailable at the time the order is submitted, the Seller shall accept the order and verify the VAT ID subsequently. The Seller shall inform the Buyer of the result of the verification and of the manner in which the tax document will be issued.
5. The Seller records the result of the VAT ID verification together with the identifier of the query to the register and considers it valid for twelve (12) months from the verification. After this period, as well as upon any change of the VAT ID, the Seller shall carry out the verification again.

Withdrawal from the Purchase Contract

The Buyer acknowledges that according to Section 1837 of the Civil Code, it is not possible to withdraw from, among other things, a contract for the supply of goods that have been modified according to the Buyer’s wishes or for his person, a contract for perishable goods or goods irreversibly mixed with other goods after delivery, a contract for goods in sealed packaging that the consumer has removed and cannot be returned for hygienic reasons, and a contract for the provision of services if they have been fulfilled with the consumer’s prior express consent before the withdrawal period has expired.
Unless it is a case referred to in Article 5.1 of the Terms and Conditions or any other case in which withdrawal from the Purchase Contract is not possible, the Buyer – consumer has the right to withdraw from the Purchase Contract within fourteen (14) days of receipt of the goods in accordance with Section 1829(1) of the Civil Code, whereby if the subject of the Purchase Contract is several types of goods or the delivery of several parts, this period shall run from the date of receipt of the last delivery. The withdrawal from the Purchase Contract must be sent to the Seller within the period specified in the previous sentence. The Buyer may send the withdrawal to the Seller’s business address or to the Seller’s email address info@fathers.cz.
In the event of withdrawal from the Purchase Contract pursuant to Article 5.2 of the Terms and Conditions, the Purchase Contract shall be cancelled from the outset. The goods must be returned to the Seller within fourteen (14) days of withdrawal. If the Buyer withdraws from the Purchase Contract, the Buyer shall bear the costs associated with the return of the goods to the Seller, even if the goods cannot be returned by normal postal means due to their nature.
In the event of withdrawal from the contract pursuant to Article 5.2 of the Terms and Conditions, the Seller shall return the funds received from the Buyer within fourteen (14) days of the Buyer’s withdrawal, by bank transfer to the Buyer’s bank account. If the Buyer withdraws from the Purchase Contract, the Seller is not obliged to return the funds before the Buyer returns the goods or proves that the goods have been sent to the Seller.
The Seller is entitled to unilaterally set off the claim for damage to the goods against the Buyer’s claim for reimbursement of the purchase price.
In cases where the Buyer has the right to withdraw from the Purchase Contract in accordance with Section 1829(1) of the Civil Code, the Seller is also entitled to withdraw from the Purchase Contract at any time until the Buyer takes delivery of the goods. In such a case, the Seller shall refund the purchase price to the Buyer without undue delay, by bank transfer to the account designated by the Buyer.
If a gift is given to the Buyer together with the goods, the gift contract between the Seller and the Buyer is concluded with the condition that if the Buyer withdraws from the Purchase Contract, the gift contract shall cease to be effective and the Buyer shall be obliged to return the gift together with the goods to the Seller.
The Seller reserves the right to cancel the order or part of it before the conclusion of the Purchase Contract if:
1. the goods are no longer manufactured or available,
2. the supplier’s price of the relevant goods has increased significantly.
In the event that this situation arises, the Seller undertakes to contact the Buyer immediately in order to agree on further action.
In the case of special order goods or goods that are out of stock, the Seller shall confirm the price and the new delivery date to the Buyer in advance by telephone or email. If the Buyer does not agree to such a change, the order is not confirmed and is not executed. If the Buyer has already paid part or all of the purchase price, this amount will be refunded to the Buyer’s account.

Transport and Delivery of Goods

The Seller provides or arranges the following delivery methods:
1. Delivery to address – PPL
  Delivery via PPL shipping service directly to the Buyer’s address. Delivery within the Czech Republic usually takes 1 working day from dispatch, to Slovakia 1–2 working days.

  The Buyer selects a specific pick‍-‍up point from the map of pick‍-‍up points and parcel boxes in the web interface of the shop. Available for the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
3. Delivery to a parcel box – PPL ParcelBox / AlzaBox
  The Buyer selects a specific box from the same map of pick‍-‍up points and parcel boxes in the web interface of the shop. Available for the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Some boxes and pick‍-‍up points do not support cash on delivery; in such a case it cannot be selected.
4. Personal collection – Ostrava roastery
  Personal collection at Mitrovická 128/66, Ostrava 72400. We recommend contacting the Seller by phone (+420 736 532 744) in advance to verify product availability.
5. Personal collection – Father’s Coffee Store Prague
  Personal collection at Father’s Coffee Store in Prague. We recommend contacting the Seller in advance to verify product availability.
6. Electronically
  In the case of orders for electronically delivered content (course enrolment confirmations, gift vouchers, etc.), the content is delivered to the Buyer’s email address after payment for the order has been credited.
Shipping within the Czech Republic is handled exclusively by PPL shipping service. For international deliveries, the Seller reserves the right to select the carrier taking into account the current conditions and availability of shipping services in the given destination.
The delivery price is set as a flat amount according to the country of delivery, the selected delivery method and whether the Buyer is purchasing as a consumer or as a wholesale customer. The delivery price is always displayed in the web interface of the shop before the order is submitted. No delivery charge is applied for personal collection.
The Seller provides free delivery only to a Buyer signed in to a user account, upon reaching the minimum order weight set for the given country of delivery and the given customer type. The current free‍-‍delivery conditions are stated in the web interface of the shop and the Buyer is informed of them before submitting the order. Coffee subscription shipments and coffee course orders are not subject to delivery charges, or delivery is provided free of charge for them.
Dispatch – Preparation for dispatch refers to the time required to complete all formalities in connection with the handover of the ordered goods to the carrier or to the Buyer (in the case of personal collection), at the Buyer’s choice. Preparation for dispatch and dispatch itself takes place on working days. The Seller shall prepare goods in stock for dispatch within 3 working days after receipt of the order, otherwise according to the individually agreed delivery time.
Information on the expected delivery date stated in the web interface of the shop, in the order confirmation or in electronic communication is indicative and is based on the carrier’s usual delivery times. It does not constitute a bindingly agreed delivery date unless the parties expressly agree otherwise. The only binding date is the dispatch commencement date for pre‍-‍ordered goods under Article VII of these Terms and Conditions.
Shipment tracking – After the goods have been dispatched, the Buyer will receive an email with shipment tracking information. Shipment tracking is available through the PPL carrier website.
We do not charge packing or other fees.
In the event that the method of transport is agreed upon on the basis of a special request of the Buyer, the Buyer bears the risk and any additional costs associated with this method of transport.
If the Seller is obliged under the Purchase Contract to deliver the goods to the place specified by the Buyer in the order, the Buyer is obliged to take delivery of the goods upon delivery. The place of delivery shall be the delivery address specified by the Buyer in the order.
In the event that for reasons on the Buyer’s side it is necessary to deliver the goods repeatedly or in a different way than specified in the order, the Buyer is obliged to pay the costs associated with the repeated delivery, or the costs associated with a different method of delivery.
Upon receipt of the goods from the carrier, the Buyer is obliged to check the integrity of the packaging and in the event of any defects notify the carrier immediately. In the event of a breach of packaging indicating unauthorised intrusion into the shipment, the Buyer does not have to accept the shipment from the carrier.
An incomplete or damaged shipment must be reported immediately by email to info@fathers.cz, a damage report must be drawn up with the carrier and sent to the Seller without undue delay. An additional complaint of incompleteness or external damage does not deprive the Buyer of the right to make a claim, but gives the Seller the opportunity to prove that there is no breach of the Purchase Contract.
In the case of picking up an order that has been prepaid, the Seller may require proof of identification (ID card or passport) in order to prevent damage and to prevent the laundering of proceeds of crime. Without the presentation of one of these documents, the Seller may refuse to release the goods.
If the Buyer does not collect the ordered goods within 10 days of their dispatch without prior cancellation of the order, the Buyer shall bear the costs incurred in the production and dispatch of these goods. This is without prejudice to the consumer’s right not to take delivery of the goods due to a breach of the Purchase Contract.

Pre‍-‍orders

For selected goods, the Seller may commence sales before the goods are ready for dispatch, in particular in the case of coffee from an upcoming harvest, batch or edition. Such goods are marked in the web interface of the shop as a Pre‍-‍order together with the date from which the Seller will begin dispatching them (hereinafter the dispatch commencement date). The goods cannot be dispatched or collected in person before that date.
By ordering goods under the pre‍-‍order regime, a Purchase Contract is concluded under the same conditions as for other goods. The dispatch commencement date is the date on which the Seller hands the order over to the carrier or prepares it for personal collection; it is not the date of delivery of the goods to the Buyer.
The purchase price of goods in a pre‍-‍order is payable in the same manner and within the same period as for other goods, i.e. in the case of cashless online payment, immediately upon submitting the order. The Seller does not require a deposit or any other special payment and therefore receives the purchase price before the goods are dispatched.
An order containing pre‍-‍ordered goods is always dispatched as a whole, on the dispatch commencement date. Goods with a different dispatch date therefore cannot be placed in a single order together with a pre‍-‍order; the Buyer is notified of this when adding the goods to the shopping cart and may split the orders. If an order contains several pre‍-‍orders with different dispatch commencement dates, the dispatch of the entire order shall be governed by the latest of those dates.
Should circumstances arise for which the Seller is unable to meet the dispatch commencement date, in particular a delay on the supplier’s side, a failure or reduced quality of the harvest, or a delay in transport, the Seller shall inform the Buyer without undue delay and notify them of a new date. In such a case the Buyer is entitled to withdraw from the Purchase Contract; the Seller shall return the purchase price already paid within fourteen (14) days of the withdrawal, by cashless transfer to the Buyer’s account.
Until the goods are dispatched, the Buyer may cancel the pre‍-‍order free of charge in the manner set out in Article 3.9 of these Terms and Conditions. The period for withdrawal from the Purchase Contract under Article V of these Terms and Conditions runs for the Buyer – consumer only from the receipt of the goods, not from the placing of the pre‍-‍order.

Rights from Defective Performance

The rights and obligations of the contracting parties with regard to the rights from defective performance are governed by the relevant generally binding legal regulations (in particular Sections 1914 to 1925, Sections 2099 to 2117 and Sections 2161 to 2174 of the Civil Code and Act No. 634/1992 Coll., on Consumer Protection, as amended).
The Seller shall be liable to the Buyer that the goods are free from defects upon receipt. In particular, the Seller is liable to the Buyer that at the time the Buyer took over the goods:
1. the goods have the characteristics agreed between the parties and, in the absence of an agreement, have the characteristics described by the Seller or manufacturer or expected by the Buyer in view of the nature of the goods and on the basis of the advertising carried out by them,
2. the goods are fit for the purpose for which the Seller states they are to be used or for which goods of that kind are usually used,
3. the goods correspond in quality or workmanship to the agreed sample or specimen if the quality or workmanship was determined by reference to the agreed sample or specimen,
4. the goods are in the appropriate quantity, measure or weight; and
5. the goods comply with the requirements of the legislation.
The provisions set out in Article 8.2 of the Terms and Conditions shall not apply to goods sold at a lower price for the defect for which the lower price was agreed, to wear and tear caused by normal use of the goods, to a defect in used goods corresponding to the level of use or wear and tear which the goods had when taken over by the Buyer, or if this is apparent from the nature of the goods.
If a defect becomes apparent within six months of receipt, the goods shall be deemed to have been defective on receipt. The Buyer is entitled to exercise the right to claim a defect which occurs in consumer goods within twenty‍-‍four months of receipt.
The Buyer shall assert the rights from defective performance at the Seller’s business address where the acceptance of the claim is possible with regard to the range of goods sold, or by email at info@fathers.cz.
The Buyer shall not be entitled to the right from defective performance if the Buyer knew before taking over the goods that the goods were defective or if the Buyer caused the defect.
The Buyer is also entitled to the delivery of a new item or the replacement of a part in the case of a removable defect if the item cannot be properly used due to the recurrence of the defect after repair or due to a greater number of defects. In this case, the Buyer also has the right to withdraw from the contract.
If the Buyer has not reported the defect without undue delay after discovery through timely inspection and due care, the court shall not grant the right from defective performance. In the case of a latent defect, the same applies if the defect was not reported without undue delay after the Buyer could have discovered it with reasonable diligence, but at the latest within two years after delivery of the goods.
Other rights and obligations of the parties relating to the Seller’s liability for defects are regulated by the Seller’s Complaints Procedure.
In the case of roasted coffee, the Seller recommends consuming the goods before the best‍-‍before date indicated on the packaging. After opening the package, the Seller recommends storing the goods in a dry place at room temperature, protected from direct sunlight. Complaints about the taste of coffee after the best‍-‍before date or in case of demonstrably improper storage will not be accepted.

Coffee Subscription

A coffee subscription is a service through which the Seller regularly sends selected coffee to the Buyer at agreed intervals and quantities. The subscription terms (type of coffee, delivery interval, quantity and price) are specified in the shop web interface.
A coffee subscription can only be arranged with delivery within the territory of the Czech Republic and only for the Buyer – consumer for personal use. The subscription is not available to business entities or for delivery outside the Czech Republic.
When setting up a subscription, the Buyer chooses the type of roast and coffee, the size (weight) and number of packages, and the delivery frequency (typically between 2 and 6 weeks). The Buyer may choose a specific coffee from the range or the Father’s Choice option, where the selection of the specific coffee is made by the Seller and the composition of individual shipments may vary. The available parameters and the current offer are specified in the shop web interface.
When setting up a subscription, the Buyer selects the date of the first dispatch within the range offered in the shop web interface. Subsequent shipments are then dispatched at regular intervals corresponding to the chosen frequency. Delivery of subscription shipments is provided free of charge.
The monthly subscription includes membership in Father’s Family Club. The membership price is set as a fixed amount regardless of the current exchange rate, namely CZK 1 per month, or alternatively EUR 0.05 (5 cents) per month or PLN 0.20 (20 groszy) per month, depending on the subscription currency. Membership arises automatically upon setting up the subscription and is inseparably linked to it; standalone membership without a coffee subscription is not possible. Membership provides the Buyer with the benefits published in the shop web interface (in particular free delivery of subscription shipments, discounted prices and club content). The Seller is entitled to change and update the scope and specific form of the benefits over time; this does not affect the Buyer’s rights already acquired. Membership terminates together with the termination of the subscription.
Personal subscriptions are provided through recurring payments via the GoPay payment gateway. By activating the subscription, the Buyer grants consent to regular monthly charges from their payment method. Payment is made at regular monthly intervals, independently of the interval of individual deliveries; the price specified in the shop web interface corresponds to the payment for one monthly period.
Payment card details are processed exclusively by the GoPay payment gateway in accordance with the international PCI DSS Level 1 security standard. The Seller does not have access to the Customer’s payment card details.
The monthly subscription payment is determined as the annual price of all shipments corresponding to the chosen settings (type of coffee, size and number of packages, and frequency), spread evenly across twelve (12) equal monthly payments. The amount of the monthly payment is therefore the same throughout the duration of the subscription and does not depend on how many shipments are actually dispatched in a given month; in some months no shipment may be dispatched and in others one or more. The current amount of the monthly payment is shown to the Buyer in the shop web interface before the subscription is set up.
The Buyer may change the payment method (payment card) assigned to the subscription at any time through the User Account. If the validity of the payment card is approaching its end, the Seller will notify the Buyer of this fact and invite them to update the payment method in order to avoid interruption of the subscription.
If a recurring subscription payment cannot be successfully charged (in particular due to insufficient funds or an invalid or expired payment card), the Seller will attempt to repeat the payment and invite the Buyer by email to remedy the situation or change the payment method. If the payment cannot be successfully charged even after repeated attempts, the Seller is entitled to terminate the subscription. Termination of the subscription on this ground also terminates the membership in Father’s Family Club.
The Seller does not unilaterally change the price of a subscription already agreed. If the price of the coffee that is the subject of the subscription changes, the Seller will notify the Buyer in advance; the existing subscription at the original price will be terminated at the end of the paid period and the Buyer will be offered continuation (renewal) of the subscription at the new price. Continuation of the subscription at the new price is voluntary and requires confirmation by the Buyer; without it, the subscription ends upon expiry of the paid period.
If the chosen coffee is not in stock in the required quantity at the time of dispatch, the dispatch of the relevant shipment may be postponed to the nearest following date according to the chosen frequency. This does not affect the overall value of the performance corresponding to the monthly payments made.
Changes to the subscription parameters (type of coffee, size, number of packages or frequency) can be made in the manner enabled in the shop web interface or the User Account, or by terminating the existing subscription and setting up a new one. The changes made take effect no earlier than with the next shipment.
The Buyer can cancel a recurring subscription at any time and without giving a reason through the User Account or by email at info@fathers.cz; the subscription is not subject to any minimum duration. Cancellation stops further recurring payments. The cancellation takes effect at the end of the already paid (monthly) period; until then the subscription remains active and shipments falling within the paid period will be duly dispatched. Termination of the subscription also terminates the membership in Father’s Family Club.
A coffee subscription may also be purchased as a gift for another person (hereinafter a gift subscription). A gift subscription is arranged for a fixed number of shipments, namely three (3), six (6) or twelve (12) shipments, and is paid for by a single payment of the full amount upon ordering. A gift subscription does not renew automatically and, after the last shipment has been delivered, it ends without further payments and without the need to terminate it. A gift subscription may be ordered only with delivery within the Czech Republic and cannot be paid for by cash on delivery.
1. After the order has been paid, the Seller shall issue a gift voucher with an activation code. According to the Buyer’s choice, the Seller shall send it electronically to the recipient, either immediately or on the date selected by the Buyer, or shall send it in a print‍-‍ready form to the Buyer so that the Buyer may hand it over to the recipient in person. If the Buyer chooses personal handover of the voucher, the Seller shall send no advance notification to the recipient.
2. When ordering, the Buyer chooses whether to activate the gift subscription themselves and set the date of the first shipment, or to leave the activation to the recipient. Shipments are dispatched only after the gift subscription has been activated; until then the Seller does not dispatch any goods and the order is held in a pending‍-‍activation state. The recipient activates the gift subscription by entering the activation code in the web interface of the shop; a user account is required for activation, which the recipient may create during activation. Registration of the Buyer is not required in order to purchase a gift subscription.
3. Shipments of a gift subscription are delivered to the recipient free of charge. A gift subscription, however, does not include membership in the Father’s Family Club; such membership arises only upon arranging a subscription with recurring payment under Article 9.5 of these Terms and Conditions. The recipient is therefore not entitled to member benefits on their other purchases for the duration of the gift subscription.
Delivery of subscription shipments is governed by the transport and delivery conditions set out in Article VI of these Terms and Conditions.
The Buyer – consumer has the right to withdraw from the subscription contract within fourteen (14) days of receipt of the first delivery. If the Buyer has requested that the provision of the service (membership and related benefits) begin during the withdrawal period, upon withdrawal the Buyer shall pay the Seller a proportionate part of the agreed price for the performance provided up to the moment of withdrawal in accordance with Section 1834 of the Civil Code, in particular the proportionate part corresponding to shipments already dispatched and membership already provided. The right of withdrawal does not apply to goods that by their nature cannot be returned, in particular perishable food goods and coffee removed from opened hygienic packaging, in accordance with Section 1837 of the Civil Code.

Coffee Courses

The Seller offers coffee courses and training (hereinafter Courses). Courses are provided as services and are governed by these Terms and Conditions unless otherwise specified. Information about the range of courses, their content, dates, prices, and capacity is available in the shop web interface.
A course is ordered through the shopping cart in the web interface of the shop in the same way as other performance. Enrolment in a course is possible until the capacity of the selected date is filled; if the date is fully booked, has been cancelled or has already taken place, the web interface of the shop will not accept the order. Courses take place within the Czech Republic and are provided at the Czech rate of value‍-‍added tax irrespective of the Buyer’s country; the price of the course may also be displayed in the web interface of the shop in another currency at the exchange rate set by the Seller. As a course is not delivered by a carrier, the Seller charges no delivery fee for a course order.
The price of a course may be paid exclusively by cashless payment via the GoPay payment gateway. Cash on delivery and payment by invoice are not available for courses. The price is payable immediately upon submitting the order.
If payment for a course is not completed, in particular if it is cancelled by the Buyer or if its validity period in the payment gateway expires, the Seller shall automatically cancel the course order and release the reserved place to other applicants. In such a case, no contract for participation in the course is concluded and the Buyer is under no obligation to pay the price of the course.
The course order is confirmed to the Buyer after payment has been credited to the Seller’s account, by sending a tax document and enrolment confirmation to the Buyer’s email address.
The Seller sends the Buyer a reminder of the course to the Buyer’s email address, as a rule seven (7) days and one (1) day before the course takes place.
The Buyer may cancel participation in a course no later than 7 working days before the course date. In such a case, the full price will be refunded. If participation is cancelled less than 7 working days before the course, the Seller is entitled to charge a cancellation fee of 50% of the course price. If the Buyer fails to attend the course without prior cancellation, the participation is forfeited without compensation.
The Seller reserves the right to cancel or reschedule a course. In such a case, the Buyer will be promptly informed and offered an alternative date or a full refund of the course price. If the Buyer opts for a refund, the Seller shall return the amount paid within fourteen (14) days, by cashless transfer to the account from which the payment was made, or to an account notified by the Buyer.
Given the nature of the service (courses with a fixed date), the Buyer acknowledges that in accordance with Section 1837(j) of the Civil Code, the Buyer cannot withdraw from a course participation contract if the course has been provided with the Buyer’s prior express consent. If the course has not yet taken place, the Buyer – consumer may withdraw from the contract under the conditions set out in Article V of these Terms and Conditions.
