The statutory provisions shall apply even without a relevant reference, with the exception of an explicit exclusion of their application or replacement of their content by a provision in these Terms.
1.3. These Terms are an integral part of every framework agreement and/or agreement, the subject of which will be the supply of Goods or the provision of Services by the Supplier, unless the parties explicitly agree otherwise in such an agreement (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Agreement"). These Terms also apply to all orders made by the Customer (hereinafter referred to as the "Order"), or contracts arising on their basis, and to all relationships arising from them, as well as to all offers of the Supplier (hereinafter referred to as the "Offer"), i.e., contracts arising on their basis, and on all relationships arising from them.
1.4. By signing each Agreement concluded with the Customer or confirming their Order, the Supplier declares that they had the opportunity to familiarize themselves with these Terms, that they accept all the conditions of these Terms, irrevocably and without reservations, unless otherwise agreed in the Agreement. Deviating terms of the Supplier are not binding for the Customer, even by confirming the Offer or sending the Order, unless the contracting parties agree in writing on the bindingness of the Supplier's terms in the Agreement.
1.5. In the event that the Agreement explicitly provides something other than what is stated in these Terms, the provisions of the Agreement shall take precedence over the provisions of the Terms that conflict with them.

2.2. The Supplier undertakes to confirm the Customer's Order in writing no later than 3 working days from the delivery of the Order, unless there is a different period specified in the Order after which the Order is binding. The binding nature of the Order ends with the expiration of the deadline for its acceptance. The Supplier's response, which includes any additions, reservations, restrictions or other changes to the Order or Terms, does not have the effects of acceptance, but is a new proposal to conclude the Agreement. The Customer is not obliged to accept this new proposal. If the Customer accepts the new proposal, the Agreement is concluded on the date of acceptance of the new proposal by the Customer.
2.3. By accepting the Order, the Supplier accepts full responsibility for the fulfilment of its obligations, which are the subject of the Contract thus created.

4. Terms of Payment
4.1. The supplier issues and sends a tax document - an invoice (hereinafter referred to as the "Invoice") for each delivered Goods or provided Services separately from the delivery of the Goods or Services itself. At the same time, the Supplier sends a copy of the Invoice to the Customer to the e-mail address: fakturace@petrof.cz. The invoice must include the exact wording and terms used by the Customer in the Agreement, error-free data in accordance with Section 29 of Act No. 235/2004 Coll., on value added tax, as amended, and the Order number. In the event that the Invoice is not issued correctly or does not meet all the requirements of a tax document within the meaning of the legal regulations of the Czech Republic, the Customer has the right to return the relevant Invoice with objections to the accuracy of the Invoice until its due date. By returning the Invoice, the maturity period is interrupted, and a new period begins after the delivery of the corrected Invoice.
4.2. The maturity of the Invoice is 30 days from the date of delivery of the Invoice to the Customer, provided that the Goods have been delivered or the Services have been provided to the Customer. The Customer does not provide a deposit for Goods or Services, unless otherwise stated in the Order.
4.3. In the case of delivery of defective Goods or defective provision of Services, the Customer is entitled to withhold payment of the entire price until the contract is properly fulfilled.
4.4.

4.5. The customer is entitled to choose the method of payment of the price. In the case of a cashless payment, the price is deemed to have been paid on the day the relevant amount is credited to the Supplier's bank account.

This applies even if the Supplier is not responsible for the delay. In the event of a breach of this information obligation, the Supplier is liable to the Customer for any damage caused (including the loss of profit) and the Customer has the right to withdraw from the Agreement.
5.3. The Customer is not obliged to accept partial delivery of Goods or Services or partial billing unless the parties have explicitly agreed to do so in writing.

If the Customer intends to appeal to force majeure, they must notify the Supplier immediately and in writing. In the event that force majeure lasts for more than sixty (60) days and it becomes unreasonably difficult for one of the parties to remain in the Agreement, that party may withdraw from the Agreement.
