The collected discounts can be used for later purchases at the request of the Program member prior to the transaction.

Participation in the Program is not subject to registration and the Bonus will be credited to the Program Member’s profile after the first purchase of the Program Member – irrespective of age – if requested either after notification on social platforms (Instagram, Facebook, Company’s newsletter) or if the Company informs verbally the Program Member about it.
Please note that we will inform you separately about the amount of the bonus and discounts collected during the participation in the Program before each purchase. Accordingly, all Program Members will be able to declare the amount of the discount they wish to claim and the amount of the discount they wish to claim prior to the purchase.

3. Claiming of the Bonus
The Bonus shall only be redeemed in accordance with the present GTC. The Bonus is not convertible, has no cash value and cannot be redeemed for cash or vouchers.

4
credited for each valid transaction as set out in the table below and will be available for use on the purchase following the crediting. The discount is calculated on the basis of the total amount invoiced for each purchase, based on the service and product purchased. The amount of previous purchases will not be taken into account when crediting bonus points.

5.000 30.001 50.001
Amount of maximum (HUF)
30.000 50.000 –
Amount of Bonus %
1 3 5
Only one discount can be credited per purchase. If the amount of the earned bonus is not used during the purchase, the amount of the new Bonus will be increased by the amount of the newly earned Bonus credited during each visit.
The Bonus will accordingly be an amount equal to a specified percentage of the value of the purchase.
Example of a calculation:
“The Consumer purchases products at the Company’s Budapest site in the amount of HUF 10,000.00 after the bonus program is launched. Accordingly, the Company will credit the Consumer with 1% of the gross value of the purchase, which is HUF 100. Then the consumer makes a second purchase in the amount of HUF 20.000. Before the payment of the total amount of the second purchase, the Company’s representative will ask the Consumer whether or not he/she wishes to use the previously acquired bonus of HUF 100.
– If yes, the value of the purchase will be reduced by the amount of the bonus. The Consumer will then be credited with a bonus (199 Ft., which is equal to 1% of HUF 19.900) for the amount reduced by the bonus.
– If no, the bonus amount will be increased by a further HUF 200 (which is equal to 1% of HUF 20,000).”
5
The bonus amount can only be credited to full-priced products or services, the crediting of the discount cannot be combined with any other discount, nor can it be combined with any other promotions.
Please note that the Company is not able to retroactively apply the discount after the purchase.
4. Bonus Balance
Program Members can check the current balance of the collected bonus before each purchase by means of a separate communication from the Company. Accordingly, all Program Members will be able to state the discount they wish to claim prior to the purchase.
5. Period of Validity
Our Program Members may use the credited Bonus within 1 (one) calendar year, after which the Bonus cannot be validly used, and the unused amount will be automatically deleted from the records.

In which cases is the product considered to be defective?
A product is defective if it does not meet the quality requirements in force when it was placed on the market or if it does not have the characteristics described by the manufacturer.
What is the deadline for making a product guarantee claim?
You have two years from the date on which the product was placed on the market by the manufacturer to assert a product guarantee claim. After this period, you will lose this right.

You can only enforce your product guarantee claim under against the manufacturer or distributor of the movable item. You must prove that the product is defective in order to make a product guarantee claim.
In what cases is the manufacturer (distributor) exempt from product warranty obligation?

It is sufficient for the manufacturer (distributor) to prove one reason to be exempted.
