provision by the Service Recipient of incomplete (in the case of required data) or false contact details (e.g. name and surname, company, address) as part of the Portal,
issuing a Product offer (including its subject and description) by the Seller violating the provisions of generally applicable law, decency, principles of social coexistence or the rights of third parties.

The suspension of the Account may also result in the withdrawal of all offers for the sale of Products issued through it, provided that this does not violate the already concluded Sales Agreements, which the Seller is obliged to implement - unless the Buyer exercises the right to withdraw from the contract.
During the limitation or suspension of Electronic Services, the Customer is obliged to take steps to remove the causes of the grounds for limitation or suspension, and after their removal, he is obliged to immediately inform the Service Provider about it.
The limitation or suspension of Electronic Services lasts until the cause of their use ceases to exist.

Restrictions or suspension may also be withdrawn if the Customer confirms that the reasons underlying their application have been removed, immediately after receiving such confirmation from the Customer. In such a case, the service provider withdraws the imposed restrictions or suspension in whole or in part without undue delay. In the event that some of the restrictions or suspensions have not been withdrawn, and then the reasons for their application have ceased to exist, the Service Provider shall in this case withdraw all other restrictions or suspension without undue delay.
The Service Provider decides to choose the method and scope of limiting, suspending or terminating the provision of Electronic Services to a given Customer. The Service Provider makes a decision in a reasonable, necessary and proportionate manner to the nature and scope of the grounds for making a specific decision and its consequences for the Customer concerned. Before making a decision, the Service Provider, if possible, calls on the Service Recipient to stop the infringement, and only if the summons proves to be ineffective or impossible, the Service Provider may make an appropriate decision. The Service Provider first undertakes to make a decision to limit, and then to suspend the provision of Electronic Services, if the restriction itself proves to be insufficient. The termination of the provision of Electronic Services is treated as a final solution and its basis may only be the grounds indicated in point 19) paragraph 2, point a. vii-ix of the Regulations.

exercises the right to terminate the provision of services for an overriding reason which arises from national law compatible with EU law;
may prove that a given Service Recipient has repeatedly violated the Regulations, which results in the termination of the provision of all Electronic Services.

In the event of limitation, suspension or termination of Electronic Services, the Service Provider provides the Service Recipient with the opportunity to explain the facts and circumstances as part of the internal complaint submission procedure referred to in the Regulations. In the event of withdrawal of the restriction, suspension or termination of services by the Service Provider, without undue delay, he restores the Service Recipient, including providing him with access to personal data or other data that resulted from his use of the Electronic Services before the restriction, suspension or termination became effective.
The Service Provider reserves the right to request the Seller to change or remove the content posted by the Seller on the Portal, including as part of the Product offer, when they violate these Regulations, along with the reason, and in the event of an unsuccessful request to remove this content, which does not infringe any more placed Orders and concluded Sales Agreements regarding this content.

5) PROFILING ON THE PORTAL
The GDPR Regulation imposes on the Controller an obligation to inform about automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in art. 22 par. 1 and 4 of the GDPR Regulation, and – at least in these cases – relevant information about the rules for making decisions, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject. With this in mind, the Controller provides information on possible profiling in this section of the privacy policy.
The Controller may use profiling on the Portal for direct marketing purposes, but the decisions made on its basis by the Controller do not relate to the conclusion or refusal to conclude the Sales Agreement or the possibility of using the Electronic Services on the Portal. The result of the use of profiling on the Portal may be e.g. a reminder about unfinished activities on the Portal, sending a service proposal that may correspond to the person's interests or preferences. Despite profiling, a given person makes a free decision whether they want to make use of better conditions on the Portal
Profiling on the Portal consists in automatic analyzing or forecasting the behavior of a given person on the Portal, e.g. through the analysis of previous actions taken on the Portal. The prerequisite for such profiling is the Controller’s possession of personal data of a given person in order to be able to send them, e.g. a discount code.
The data subject has the right not to be subject to a decision which is based solely on automated processing, including profiling, and produces legal effects in relation to this person or similarly affects this person.
6) THE RIGHTS OF DATA SUBJECTS
Right of access, rectification, restriction, deletion or transfer - the data subject has the right to request the Controller to provide them with the access to their personal data, rectify, delete them ("the right to be forgotten") or limit their processing and has the right to object to processing and the right to transfer their data. Detailed conditions for the exercise of the abovementioned rights are indicated in art. 15-21 of the GDPR Regulation.
The right to withdraw consent at any time – a person whose data is processed by the Controller on the basis of their consent (pursuant to Article 6 paragraph 1 a) or art. 9 par. 2a) of the GDPR Regulation) has the right to withdraw consent at any time without effect on the lawfulness of the processing, which was made on the basis of the consent before its withdrawal.
The right to lodge a complaint to the supervisory body – a person whose data is processed by the Controller has the right to lodge a complaint to the supervisory body in the manner and mode specified in the provisions of the GDPR Regulation and Polish law, in particular the Act on the Protection of Personal Data. The supervisory body in Poland is the President of the Office for Personal Data Protection.
Right to object - the data subject has the right to object at any time – for reasons related to their special situation – to the processing of their personal data based on art. 6 par. 1 e) (task in public interest) or f) (legitimate interest of the Controller), including profiling, on the basis of these provisions. In such a case, the Controller may no longer process such personal data unless the Controller proves that there are valid legal grounds for processing that override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or the grounds for establishment, redress or defense of claims.
Right to object related to direct marketing - if personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object to the processing of their personal data for such marketing purposes at any time, including profiling, to the extent that the processing is related to such direct marketing.
In order to exercise the rights referred to in this section of the privacy policy, you can contact the Controller by sending a relevant message in writing or by e-mail to the Controller’s address indicated in the beginning of the privacy policy or by using the contact form available on the Portal.
