- In the event of improper performance of the Contract, the Privileged Service Recipient may exercise the rights regulated in Chapter 5b of the Act on consumer rights.
- If the Service Provider has not delivered the digital content covered by the Contract, the Privileged Service Recipient may call on it to deliver it. If, despite this, the Service Provider does not deliver it without delay or within an additional, expressly agreed period, the Privileged Service Recipient may withdraw from the Contract.
- The Privileged Service Recipient may withdraw from the Contract without calling for delivery of the digital content if: it is clear from the Service Provider's declaration or the circumstances that it will not deliver it, or if the agreed delivery date was of significant importance to the Privileged Service Recipient and the Service Provider did not deliver it by that date.
- The Service Provider is liable for non-conformity of the Newsletter with the Contract which occurred or became apparent during the time it was to be delivered under the Contract.

- In the event of non-conformity with the Contract, the Privileged Service Recipient is obliged to cooperate with the Service Provider, to a reasonable extent and using the technical means least burdensome for them, to determine whether the non-conformity results from the characteristics of the Privileged Service Recipient's digital environment.
- Additionally, if the digital content is not in conformity with the Contract, the Privileged Service Recipient may submit a declaration of withdrawal from the Contract where: bringing it into conformity is impossible or requires excessive costs pursuant to Article 43m(2) and (3) of the Act on consumer rights; the Service Provider has not brought the content into conformity with the Contract within a reasonable time and without excessive inconvenience; the non-conformity persists despite attempts to remedy it; the non-conformity is significant enough to justify withdrawal without first demanding conformity; or it is clear from the Service Provider's declaration or the circumstances that it will not bring the content into conformity with the Contract within a reasonable time or without excessive inconvenience.
III. Out-of-court complaint and redress procedures
- The Service Provider informs the Consumer of the possibility of using out-of-court complaint and redress procedures.
