Version: 2026-07-18
The Czech version of this document is decisive. Translations into other languages are for information only.
hereinafter the ("GTC")
1. Contracting parties
Identification of the seller:
- Business name: HOOKAH GARAGE s.r.o.
- Registered office: Dobrovského 874/29, 702 00 Ostrava, Czech Republic
- Reg. No. (IČO): 08997608
- VAT No. (DIČ / VAT ID): CZ08997608
- Entry in the Commercial Register: Regional Court in Ostrava, Section C, File 81580
Buyer (B2B):
- an entrepreneur acting within the scope of their business activity.
2. Subject and scope
- The terms apply to all B2B supplies of goods realised via the eShop/ERP, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
- Individual business terms (prices, rebates, maturity, limits) take precedence if approved in the ERP.
3. Conclusion of the contract
- The buyer's order is merely a proposal for a contract.
The purchase contract arises only at the moment the seller delivers to the buyer an express binding confirmation (acceptance) of the order (e.g. by e-mail marked "Order Confirmation"), or at the moment a notification of the dispatch of goods is delivered to the buyer. The seller reserves the right not to accept an order (proposal for a contract) in whole or in part, without giving a reason, in particular in the event of exceeding the credit limit, the buyer's default in payments, depletion of stock, or in the event of a discrepancy in the identification data. The seller will inform the buyer of this fact.
4. B2B activation and acceptance of terms (ERP SoT)
B2B purchasing is enabled only after:
- approval of the B2B account in the ERP,
- assignment of a valid version of the B2B terms/contractual documents,
-
electronic acceptance by the buyer's authorised user in the authenticated portal.
-
If acceptance does not take place, the account remains in the approved – awaiting acceptance of terms state and B2B checkout is blocked.
- B2B checkout is allowed only after acceptance of the current terms, when the account is in the active state.
5. Evidence of acceptance and audit
- The seller retains at minimum: the identity of the user, the document version, the document hash, the time of acceptance (UTC), the IP address, the user agent, and the acceptance method.
- The authoritative element is the acceptance event in the portal; opening an e-mail or downloading an attachment alone is not sufficient.
- Acceptance of the B2B terms is a contractual act required for the B2B regime and is not a marketing consent.
- Withdrawal of marketing consent does not affect the validity of the acceptance of the B2B terms or already concluded contracts.
5a. Electronic signature and legal basis of acceptance
- The electronic acceptance of the B2B terms / IBT in the authenticated portal constitutes a simple electronic signature (SES) within the meaning of Art. 3(10) of EU Regulation No. 910/2014 (eIDAS), which is directly applicable in the Czech Republic and all EU member states.
- For ordinary B2B business terms (payment terms, delivery terms, rebate agreements), the law does not require a qualified electronic signature (QES) or notarial form; SES is therefore fully sufficient.
- The evidentiary strength of the acceptance is ensured by a combination of: (a) authentication of the user prior to acceptance, (b) the document hash recorded at the time of acceptance, (c) the time (UTC), IP address and user agent stored in an immutable audit log, (d) confirmation by sending an e-mail to the buyer.
- Records of acceptance are stored in the ERP system and protected against modification or deletion (append-only table); they are available on request when resolving disputes.
- The buyer expressly confirms that the person performing the acceptance is authorised to act on behalf of the buyer (statutory body or authorised person).
- This method of electronic acceptance is fully based on the applicable legislation, specifically on the eIDAS Regulation (EU) No. 910/2014, Act No. 297/2016 Coll. on trust services, and § 562 of Act No. 89/2012 Coll., the Civil Code (hereinafter the "CC").
6. Prices, VAT and invoicing
- Prices are standardly stated excluding VAT, unless otherwise indicated.
- The reference price is the product price in EUR excluding VAT. Prices displayed in other currencies (CZK, PLN, HUF) are derived from the EUR price and converted at the daily exchange rate of the Czech National Bank (CNB) valid on the day of the order. The list price excluding VAT valid for a given order is always the price currently displayed in the e-shop at the moment the order is submitted. The seller updates prices in other currencies every working day after the CNB rate is published; intraday fluctuations in the rate may cause minor changes in the displayed prices.
- The VAT regime is governed by Czech and EU law; for intra-Community B2B supplies, the corresponding regime applies when the statutory conditions are met.
- The buyer is responsible for the accuracy of the invoicing data, including the VAT number. If the buyer changes the invoicing or delivery data via their account in the e-shop, they are responsible for these data being complete, correct and in accordance with the company's registration data. The seller is not liable for damage arising as a result of outdated, incorrect or incomplete data entered by the buyer. Changes to data are processed into the seller's system during normal operating hours.
7. Payment terms and invoice maturity
7.1 Maturity
- The maturity of invoices is governed by the Individual Business Terms (IBT) valid for the given B2B account.
- If maturity is not expressly agreed in the IBT for a given account, payment in advance before dispatch of the goods is required (deposit / advance payment).
- The agreed maturity (7, 14, 30, 60 days or other) is binding and stated in the Individual Business Terms or in the B2B approval confirmation.
- In the event that maturity is not expressly agreed and the seller does not require advance payment before dispatch of the goods, the maturity period of the purchase price is 30 days from the day the invoice is delivered to the buyer, in accordance with § 1963 CC.
7.2 Default and penalties
- In the event of default in payment, the seller has the right to charge the buyer statutory default interest, the amount of which is governed by Government Decree No. 351/2013 Coll., as amended.
- In the event of the buyer's default, the seller has the right to demand, in addition to default interest, a lump-sum reimbursement of the costs associated with the recovery of the claim under § 1972 CC, the amount of which is set by § 3 of Government Decree No. 351/2013 Coll., as amended (this amount is CZK 1,200 per claim). The seller is entitled to suspend all further supplies and access to the B2B portal until all due liabilities are paid.
7.3 Credit limit
- The seller may set a credit limit (the maximum amount of outstanding claims) for each B2B account. The current amount of the limit is part of the Individual Business Terms.
- When the limit is reached or exceeded, the seller is entitled to refuse new orders or require advance payment.
7a. Trade discounts (rebates)
7a.1 Discount system
The seller applies an individually agreed discount system for B2B partners, which may be set up as:
a) Category discounts (discount_mode = category)
- The seller provides a percentage discount from the catalogue price for defined categories of goods.
- The applicable discount amount for each category is part of the Individual Business Terms.
b) Volume discounts (discount_mode = volume)
- The discount is determined by the total value (excluding VAT) of the current order or the agreed reference period.
- The applicable table of volume discounts is part of the Individual Business Terms.
7a.2 Conditions for applying discounts
- Discounts are applied automatically by the system when the conditions are met during the B2B order.
- Discounts are not cumulative with other discounts or promotional offers, unless expressly agreed otherwise.
- The seller is entitled to adjust the amount of discounts upon renewal of the contract or a change in the business terms; the change is effective on the day the notice is delivered to the buyer.
7a.3 Individual Business Terms (IBT)
- The specific maturity, credit limit and discount table are part of the IBT, which are issued by the seller to each B2B partner separately.
- The IBT are available for download in the B2B portal and are sent to the buyer by e-mail upon approval or change of terms.
In the event of a conflict between these GTC and the IBT, the arrangements contained in the IBT always take precedence (§ 1751(1) CC). At the same time, the application of any of the buyer's own business or purchasing terms is expressly excluded, unless the seller has previously expressly and in writing agreed to them.
8. Delivery and passing of the risk of damage
- The delivery terms are governed by the confirmed order; they may also be agreed according to Incoterms.
- The risk of damage to the goods passes to the buyer upon receipt of the goods. In the event that the goods are dispatched to the buyer, the risk of damage passes to the buyer upon handover of the item to the first carrier (§ 2090(1) CC), or according to the agreed delivery regime.
- The buyer is obliged to inspect the delivery without undue delay.
9. Retention of title
- Title to the delivered goods passes to the buyer only upon full payment of the purchase price.
10. Defects, complaints, liability
- The buyer is obliged to inspect the goods with sufficient care as soon as possible after the passing of the risk of damage (§ 2104 CC). The buyer is obliged to report obvious defects without undue delay. Hidden defects must be reported by the buyer without undue delay after they could have been discovered with sufficient care, but no later than within two years of receipt of the goods.
- The seller's liability is limited to foreseeable damage; indirect damage and lost profit are compensated only to the extent stipulated by mandatory law or by express agreement.
11. Confidentiality and compliance
- The parties will maintain the confidentiality of business, pricing and operational information.
- The buyer undertakes to comply with the legal regulations concerning import/export, sanctions and product safety.
- Safety data sheets (SDS/REACH): Upon request, the seller will provide safety data sheets (Safety Data Sheets, hereinafter "SDS") for chemical preparations, aerosols and products subject to the REACH Regulation (EC No. 1907/2006) and CLP (EC No. 1272/2008). The SDS are available for download in the B2B portal or are sent no later than with the first delivery of the relevant product. The buyer is obliged to pass the SDS to their employees and third parties in accordance with the relevant legal regulations.
12. Governing law and court
- Legal relations are governed by the law of the Czech Republic.
- The contracting parties have agreed, within the meaning of § 89a of Act No. 99/1963 Coll., the Code of Civil Procedure, that the courts according to the seller's registered office have local jurisdiction to hear and decide disputes arising from purchase contracts concluded under these GTC or in connection with them.
13. Processing of personal data (GDPR)
- Within the B2B relationship, the seller processes the contact and identification data of the buyer's representatives (name, e-mail, telephone, IP address) on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR — legitimate interest in the performance of the contract, account management, invoicing and communication.
- Contact and invoicing data are retained for the duration of the contractual relationship and further for the period stipulated by the relevant legal regulations (in particular the Accounting Act and the VAT Act, i.e. usually 10 years from the end of the tax period). Details about the processing of personal data, the rights of data subjects (access, erasure, portability, objection) and the recipients of data are stated in the seller's Privacy Policy (GDPR) and Cookie Policy available on the eShop/ERP portal.
- The buyer is obliged to ensure that their representatives are informed about the processing.
14. Termination and dissolution of the B2B relationship

- Unused credit or deposits are settled within 30 days of termination.
15. Change of business terms
- The seller is entitled to unilaterally amend these terms, in particular due to a change in legal regulations, the business model, the technical solution of the e-shop or ERP system, logistics processes or the seller's business policy. The seller will inform the buyer of the change by e-mail to the address registered in the ERP at least 14 days before the new version takes effect.
- A buyer who does not agree with the change is entitled, before the new version takes effect, to terminate the B2B relationship within 14 days of the notice of the change.
