    Section 7. AGREEMENT CONCLUDED AS PART OF THE OFFER

    7.1.

    The Company is not a party to any Goods sale agreements made between Users and does not ensure that the Sellers and the Buyers are authorized to enter into and perform such agreements. Where an agreement is concluded by Users whose registered office or habitual residence allocated in different countries, this might result in the Transaction being governed by the provisions of foreign law.

    7.2.

    An agreement shall be concluded with the winner of the Auction. The winner of the Auction shall be the User who, upon its closure, offered the highest price for the Goods and their bid was at least equal to the minimum price if such a price was specified by the Seller (accepting the winning bid). If several Bidders placed bids indicating the same highest price, the Bidder who bid as the first offering the highest price shall become the winner.

    7.3.

    The Buyer shall enter into an agreement with the Seller, confirming the purchase using the "Buy and Pay", "Buy with Pay Business", or "Buy with AllegroPay" button, subject to paragraph 3.3. Each purchase and some payment methods may be additionally confirmed mobile device’s biometric data, where this functionality has been enabled (the biometric data is stored on the device and is not made available to Allegro).

    7.4.

    The confirmation of entering into an agreement between the Buyer and the Seller shall be sent automatically by email (or alternatively by other means of electronic communication) and shall be for information purposes only. In the email referred to in the previous sentence, the parties to the agreement shall receive the data currently appearing in their Account settings, i.e., Ask the Seller, email address (encrypted by the Company), contact number, address. In the event when the Seller’s registered office as set in the Account settings is outside the European Economic Area or the Offer has been marked in the “Delivery details” field as “Non-EAN Offer”, the data referred to in the previous sentence will be sent outside the European Economic Area. If the Buyer selects a delivery option as part of which the shipped Goods are assigned a tracking number, information regarding shipment tracking may be made available to the Company directly by the carrier or the Seller if the number of the parcel is made available in the “Purchase History” tab displayed after signing in to the Account, the Buyer shall be sent an additional email message with the carrier’s name, shipment tracking number and a link to track the shipment.

    7.5.

    Unless the parties to the Transaction have agreed otherwise, the Buyer shall pay for the Goods:

    a. within 7 days in the case of Offers with the Buy Now option,

    b. within 14 days in the case of Offers with the Buy Now option for which the Buyer has chosen payment with a traditional bank transfer,

    c. within 30 days in the case of Auctions.

    The Buyer’s failure to pay for the Goods on time and, in the case of an Auction, the additional transaction rebate granted to the Seller, will result in the Company automatically canceling the Transaction (except for the “OTC drugs” category). If the conditions for the automatic cancellation of Auctions described above are not met within 30 days, the Company reserves the right to reassess. The abovementioned actions of the Company have no impact on the civil-law effects of the sales agreement concluded between the Users and does not release them from the obligation to render performances towards each other under the legal relation arising.
