  3. a. 2.   The buyer agrees to the placing of so-called cookies on their computer. If it is possible for a purchase on the web page to be made and for the undertakings of the seller from the sales contract to be performed without so-called cookies being placed on the buyer’s computer, the buyer may at any time revoke its consent pursuant to the preceding sentence.
  4. Pricelists

In the online store there are always the current and valid prices for the online store.

  1. a. Ordering, distribution and product

The buyer will receive the virtual product for the price valid at the moment of ordering.

Any form of redistribution/sharing of any digital content coming under wanttospeakspanish.com to/with other third parties is strictly prohibited. The copying or transcription of content and distribution to other third parties is strictly prohibited. The forwarding of content to other third parties is strictly prohibited. It is strictly prohibited to display digital content online in such a way that third parties can download/view/use it or enjoy benefits from it. A breach of these rules will result in the seller rescinding the purchase contract. The buyer will also have to compensate the seller for any damages that the seller incurs as a result of this behaviour.

The digital content and its distribution is monitored by the seller. He monitors the number of downloads, the routes via which the downloads take place, the number of viewings in relation to the number of buyers during a given decisive period. The number of times that gift vouchers and codes are used. The number and implementation of registered emails for downloading digital content, time and time intervals are monitored. All of this is performed within the constraints imposed by the law and rules for personal data protection.

All of the aforementioned rules apply for the E-shop wanttospeakspanish.com.

Product, digital content, digital content on physical medium means:

  • Word, Excel and PDF text document.
  • Text document in format PDF in particular.
  • Link to video on platform vmeo.cz (a video will range from 5 to 60 minutes; high definition; size from 0.5 GB to 7 GB)
  • Telephone number for communication with tutor.
  • Printed voucher for online lesson from wanttospeakspanish.com, aluminium printed voucher for online lesson from wanttospeakspanish.com

The seller bears no liability for incorrect responsive display on electronic devices other than computers. But if there is a problem with responsive display, for example the buyer wants to play the lesson on a mobile telephone but it does not work, it will announce this fact to the seller, who will provide the given lesson to the Buyer in a different form. However, all content is created in such a way that it behaves responsively in the online environment.

More information is available in the chapter guarantee and delivery conditions below.

  1. Rescinding of contract

Before the purchase of the Product, i.e., digital content, the buyer is informed that in compliance with the laws cited hereunder, it is buying digital content, where rules apply that differ from the regular ones concerning rescinding of a contract in the case of remote purchasing within 14 days. If the buyer confirms an order and pays for it, the digital content will be offered to it for download. If it downloads digital content offered to it on the basis of a purchase contract, it foregoes the possibility to rescind a remotely concluded contract for the purchase of digital content.

The aforementioned complies with the following provisions: section 605, section 607, section 1818, section 1820 paragraph 1f), section 1829, section 1836 b) and section 1837l) of Act No 89/2012 Coll., the Civil Code, as amended.

There is a possibility to rescind the contract if the Seller does not agree to digital content being made accessible in the first 14 days to the buyer so that it retains the right to rescind the contract. In such a case the Buyer will wait 14 days for digital content, and during this period it may reconsider the order. If this is the case, and it wants to reconsider the order, it will inform the Seller on the email address: ireally@wanttospeakspanish.com, and the Seller will provide the Buyer with a trial version of the Online video Spanish lesson for viewing over a 14-day period.

If the buyer is not able to play, launch or display the digital content, the rules in the chapter Guarantee shall apply, and the rules in this chapter Rescinding of Contract apply. So if the buyer is not able to play, launch or view the content on his device, i.e., PC, notebook, tablet, mobile telephone etc., it may rescind the contract pursuant to the aforementioned provisions within 14 days from the below signature and if the Buyer is not a Legal Person. The Buyer must not provide the digital content to any third party. The number of downloads and viewings is measured, so if there is a breach of these rules, i.e., the number of viewings and downloads exceeds the number usual for one Buyer, moreover in a case where it was not capable of playing the digital content, the Seller may refuse to accept the buyer rescinding a remotely concluded purchase contract within 14 days.

If the Buyer complies with the rules for possible rescinding of a contract, the Seller is obliged to accommodate this. It is necessary to meet the following conditions:

  • Send a letter (preferably by email to the address ireally@wanttospeakspanish.com) with the text: “I wish to rescind unilaterally the contract from (date, month, year, invoice number) and require the refund of the paid amount for goods to the account No:………………/……”. Date and signature.
  • Add the invoice as an attachment, delete the PDF with the lesson from the hard disk or SSD disk and prevent third parties from accessing it. It is also necessary to take into account the rule that there is a strict prohibition on any distribution of digital content purchased on wanttospeakspanish.com, see chapter Ordering and distribution.
  • The possibility to rescind a contract does not apply to a delivery of goods tailored to the wishes of the Buyer or goods ordered especially and expressly at the wishes of the Buyer and which were not in store at the time of the order, and other goods where part of their value is consumed by use and it is not possible to restore them to the original state before purchase.
  1. Information about products

The information about Products offered in the eshop of the Seller is of a merely informative nature, and there may be differences in detail from the delivered goods. But the difference is only slight and has no effect on the meeting of the designated goals of online tuition and content of the teaching material. Teaching materials are the property of the Seller. All lessons are owned by the Seller. All the uploaded audio and video files are owned by the Seller. The individual designated categories for the individual online video lessons and podcasts according to the European Reference Framework are approximate. The actual categorisation is adapted to the lessons and corresponds only in outline.

Web pages may be updated without preceding notification. And the contents of products may also be updated in order to improve the quality of content and appearance without preceding notification.

  1. Payment conditions
  • payment by payment card – securely using the service Stripe (including 3D Secure and SSL certificate). Payment is made via the gateway Stripe (more information here: https://stripe.com)
  • payment by credit transfer (the goods will be dispatched immediately after the payment is credited to the account of the seller
  • PayPal
  • Apple Pay

The goods remain the property of the Seller until full payment is made.

  1. Warranty
  • The seller undertakes to supply the buyer with digital content , i.e., lessons/lesson/bundle of lessons or voucher with content corresponding to the offered content of the lesson published in the commercial part on wanttospeakspanish.com
  • The seller also undertakes to comply with the conditions given for products on wanttospeakspanish.com
  • The seller also undertakes to provide all the necessary data to the Buyer before the purchase of the product, and this shall be in the form of an email from the address ireally@wanttospeakspanish.com in such a way that the Buyer has all the necessary information to make an informed decision on the purchase of the given product.
  • The real content (i.e., what the buyer receives) of each lesson exceeds the detailed description of each lesson given upon purchase, so the buyer always gets more than published in the description of the lesson.
  • A two-year guarantee applies to the products, i.e., digital content. This applies to faults which may be associated with the digital content and form of playing, downloading, viewing, listening. The guarantee does not apply to the content as such. If the digital content is faulty, for example it is not possible to play it, it is sufficient to inform the seller of this fact, and he must ensure redress and provide the Buyer with new content without undue delay.
  • If in this case the Seller cannot provide the Buyer with new content, the buyer is authorised to ask for a refund and thereby rescind the purchase contract. Once again there is a strict prohibition on any distribution of faulty content or fault-free digital content of the Seller to third parties, see chapter Ordering and distribution.
  • There may be errors in the content, i.e., in the presentation and tuition. Unfortunately the Seller is only human, and so this might happen. If the Buyer finds an error, it may inform the Seller of the given error at the email address: ireally@wanttospeakspanish.com, and the Seller is obliged to rectify the error.
  • The guarantee conditions for digital content are governed by the Complaint Rules of the Seller, see above.

7.a.     Guarantee conditions

The guarantee conditions for goods are governed by the Complaint Rules of the Seller.

  1. a. 1. Out-of-court dispute resolution

Should a dispute arise between the Seller and the Buyer, such a dispute can be resolved through the use of either of the two forms of out-of-court dispute resolution applied in standard procedures of the EU, i.e., mediation and arbitration. In both cases disputes between a consumer and entrepreneur are resolved, and a subject of out-of-court resolution of consumer disputes in the Czech Republic (the Czech Trade Inspectorate – ČOI) proposes or imposes a solution, or it leads the parties to joint negotiations with the aim of facilitating an amicable resolution of the dispute.

Arbitration is governed by Act No 216/1994 Coll., on arbitration and the enforcement of arbitration awards, and mediation by Act No 202/2012 Coll., on mediation.

In the case of a dispute the Seller and Buyer may also agree on out-of-court dispute resolution, but the purchase contract does not contain an arbitration clause or mediation contract unless agreed otherwise between the Seller and Buyer.

The relevant general courts of the Czech Republic will be competent to resolve disputes between the Seller and Buyer unless agreed otherwise by the Seller and Buyer.

  1. Delivery conditions
  • The digital content will be provided by email. Other important forms of content will be made available on the platform vimeo.com. Everything will be made available via email without undue delay after the conclusion of the purchase contract. 
  • The email will contain a text document, link to video on the platform vimeo.com, other text document and telephone number for potential conversation with tutor. Text documents are in the format of a Word text document, Excel and PDF text document. If it is not possible to play these formats, to display them, run or open them etc., it is necessary to inform the Seller of this, and he will provide the relevant digital content in a different format so that the Buyer can use the digital content for its purposes.
  • If the buyer is not able to play, run or display digital content, the rules according to the guarantee will apply, as do the rules with regard to rescinding of the contract. So if the Buyer is not able to play, run or display digital content, it may rescind the contract in compliance with section 1829 et seq. of the Commercial Code if it is a consumer, and this shall be within 14 days according to the above description. The rule applies that the Buyer must not provide the digital content to any third party. The number of downloads and viewings is measured, so if there is a breach of these rules, i.e. the number of viewings and downloads exceeds the number usual for one Buyer, moreover in a case where it was not capable of playing the digital content, the Seller may refuse to accept the Buyer rescinding a remotely concluded purchase contract within 14 days.
