REFUND OF SERVICE PRICE
If the provision of Services is terminated prematurely in accordance with the law or by mutual agreement of the parties, you are entitled to a refund of the paid price for unused Services, according to the following rules:
The price of unused Services is the positive difference between the agreed price and the sum of the initial list prices of the used Services (i.e., the price of used Services is determined based on the sum of the unit initial prices of the Services listed in the Provider’s price list valid at the time when the provision of Services was agreed; if the Services are not listed in the price list, their usual price according to legal regulations on pricing is used).
In the event of withdrawal from the contract, the price for the initial consultation is considered to be €125, the price for the prepared meal plan is €200, the price for each control consultation is €25, and the price for monthly online support is €70.
If Services are provided with a discount or at a more advantageous price than would correspond to the simple sum of the initial unit prices of the individual provided Services (hereinafter referred to as “Discount”) and if the contractual relationship is terminated for reasons set by law (i.e., for example, due to withdrawal due to defects in the provided Services, subsequent impossibility of performance, and others), the Discount will be proportionally considered in the value to which the Provider is entitled.
A request for a change of appointment must be delivered to the Provider no later than 24 hours before the appointment, after which there is no right to change the appointment.
If you do not attend the provision of services at the agreed time (and if a change of appointment was not agreed in time by the above procedure / if the termination of the provision of Services was not timely agreed upon request), this Service is considered used; this means no refund, rescheduling of the Service, or other compensation applies.
The maximum duration of the 3-month online program is 4 months.
VI.
Rights from Defective Performance
- The seller is responsible to the buyer that the goods have no defects upon receipt. In particular, the seller is responsible to the buyer that at the time the buyer took possession of the goods:

- the goods are suitable for the purpose for which they are intended by the seller or for which goods of this type are usually used
- the goods are in the appropriate quantity or weight
- the goods comply with the requirements of legal regulations
In case of a defect, the buyer can file a complaint with the seller and request:
- replacement of the goods with new goods

- withdrawal from the contract
The buyer has the right to withdraw from the contract,
- if the goods have a defect that cannot be removed and which prevents the item from being used properly as an item without defects

- The seller is obliged to accept a complaint at the registered office or place of business. The consumer can also make a complaint at a person designated by the seller.

- If the consumer files a complaint, the seller or a designated person is obliged to inform the consumer about their rights arising from defective performance. Based on the consumer’s decision on which rights arising from defective performance they are exercising, the seller or a designated person is obliged to determine the method of handling the complaint immediately, in complex cases no later than three working days from the day the complaint is filed, in justified cases, especially if a complex technical assessment of the goods’ condition is required, no later than 30 days from the day the complaint is filed. Once the method of handling the complaint is determined, the complaint, including the removal of the defect, must be handled immediately, and in justified cases, the complaint can also be handled later. However, handling the complaint, including removing the defect, must not take longer than 30 days from the day the complaint is filed. The futile expiration of this period is considered a substantial breach of contract, and the buyer has the right to withdraw from the purchase contract or has the right to exchange the goods for new goods. The moment of filing the complaint is considered the moment when the buyer’s expression of will (exercise of the right from defective performance) reaches the seller.
- The seller informs the buyer in writing about the result of the complaint no later than 30 days from the day the complaint is filed.
- The buyer is not entitled to rights from defective performance if the buyer knew about the defect before taking possession of the item, or if the buyer caused the defect themselves.
