   2. The Provider is the provider of the Internet application, which is accessible at the Internet address https://27ascent.com (E-shop). The E-shop is mainly used for ordering goods that the Provider offers at a given moment in the E-shop interface (Goods). The presentation of the Goods in the E-shop does not constitute a legally binding offer. The E-shop is a non-binding online catalog, which is merely an offer for the Customer to place a binding order for the Goods. The Provider is not obliged to conclude a purchase agreement over the Goods.
   3. These Terms and Conditions apply similarly when placing an order via other means of remote communication (e.g. email) and, with certain variations, also when placing an order in person at the Provider’s store or outside the Provider’s store premises (filling in an order-form or purchasing on the spot), in particular by describing the order, filling in a paper order form, etc., unless otherwise specified.
2. Conclusion of the Agreement
   1. Ordering the Goods by the Customer is carried out by the Customer marking the selected Goods in the E-shop (by clicking on the “add to cart” button), filling in the correct data in the order form, selecting the preferred delivery and payment method from the offered options and sending the order (by clicking on the “order with obligation to pay” button) (Order). Before sending the Order, the Customer is allowed to check and, if necessary, modify the data in the Order. Upon receipt of the Order, the Provider shall immediately confirm the Order by email to the address provided by the Customer, thereby the Agreement between the Provider and the Customer is concluded. Together with the order acceptance, the Provider sends the current version of these Terms and Conditions to the Customer’s electronic address.
   2. The Customer acknowledges that the Provider is not obliged to conclude the agreement if the data in the order is incomplete or the Customer is a person who has previously substantially breached their obligations to the Provider.

   5. If the Goods are not delivered to the Customer (or to a person designated by the Customer) for reasons on the Customer’s side (in particular failure to accept the Goods at the agreed time), the Customer is obliged to reimburse the costs associated with the repeated delivery of the Goods.
   6. A tax document – an invoice will be issued by the Provider to the Customer after payment of the price of the Goods and sent in an electronic form to the Customer’s e-mail address. In the case of receiving the Goods in the Provider’s store, depending on the agreement with the Customer, the invoice may be sent either by e-mail or handed over to the Customer in the store.
   7. The risk of damage to the Goods passes to the Customer upon handing over the Goods to the carrier or upon personal delivery by taking over the goods by the Customer. Ownership passes to the Customer only upon full payment of the purchase price.
