Terms and Conditions

These Terms and Conditions set out the rules for concluding and performing contracts for the sale of engines, gearboxes, automotive parts and accessories (hereinafter the "Goods") entered into between the Seller and the Buyer.

Seller: Marcin Piktas, with its registered office in Wałbrzych, Polish Tax Identification No. (NIP): 8862753919, National Business Registry No. (REGON): 381564463, email: :email, tel.: :phone

Consumer (B2C) – a natural person carrying out a legal transaction that is not directly related to their business or professional activity.

Entrepreneur (B2B) – a natural person, legal person or organizational unit making a purchase as part of its business or professional activity.

Entrepreneur with consumer rights – a natural person operating as a sole trader who enters into a contract directly related to their business, where the wording of the contract indicates that it is not of a professional nature for that person.

Any differing or supplementary commercial terms of the Buyer do not form part of the contract unless the Seller expressly agrees to them in writing.

All inquiries, reservations and submissions made by telephone, email, WhatsApp or through the Kleinanzeigen portal constitute non-binding preliminary negotiations only and do not constitute a binding offer to purchase.

The sales contract is concluded according to the method of service and order fulfilment selected by the Customer:

Prices are determined individually (in the offer, advertisement or order confirmation) and are quoted as gross or net prices (including the intra-Community supply / reverse-charge procedure for B2B transactions within the European Union involving entities with an active EU VAT number).

Available payment methods: conventional bank transfer (prepayment), cash on delivery (in Mode A), instant electronic payment, and other methods agreed individually.

Until full payment has been made – that is, until the Seller accepts the cash or the funds are credited to the Seller's bank account – the Goods remain the Seller's property. This also applies to any arrangement involving the transfer of an old or damaged engine as part of a settlement or exchange.

In the case of payment by bank transfer, presenting transfer confirmation or signing the sales documents entitles the Customer to receive the Goods but does not automatically transfer ownership before the funds are actually credited to the Seller's account.

Deliveries in Mode A are made using the Seller's own transport. Deliveries in Mode B are made by specialized pallet shipment/external freight forwarding throughout the European Union.

Transfer of risk for courier shipment (Mode B): In relations with Consumers (B2C), the risk of accidental damage passes to the Buyer when the courier hands over the shipment. In relations with Entrepreneurs (B2B), the risk passes to the Buyer when the shipment is entrusted to the carrier.

The Customer is required to ensure that the pallet shipment can be unloaded efficiently at the stated delivery address.

Failure to accept the shipment and delay in acceptance (Annahmeverzug):

If a pallet shipment handled by an external freight forwarder is not accepted by the Buyer for reasons attributable to the Buyer (in particular: an incorrect or incomplete address, the carrier being unable to contact the Buyer by telephone, or an unjustified refusal to accept the shipment), the Buyer is in default of acceptance (Annahmeverzug).

The Buyer bears the full actual cost of returning the shipment to the Seller's warehouse in Poland and all additional charges imposed by the freight company (including attempted redelivery, demurrage and shipment-storage charges).

If, after failing to accept the shipment, the Buyer submits a notice of withdrawal from the contract, the Seller will refund the amount paid for the Goods after deducting the direct return-transport costs and the freight-storage costs incurred.

The Goods may be sent to the Buyer again only after the Buyer has paid all outstanding return-transport and storage charges and the cost of redelivery.

Information on the year of manufacture, first registration and mileage comes from the donor vehicle at the time of dismantling or from the supplier's declaration; the Seller is not liable for its absolute accuracy.

The engine code (MKB) or gearbox code is established by reading the block or the donor vehicle's documentation. The Seller is not responsible for prior structural modifications made by third parties or previous owners.

Test report (e.g. compression test):

It confirms only that the supplier carried out the test under specified conditions (e.g. a "cold" test before dismantling).

A "TEST OK" result means that, on the test date, the parameters met the internal acceptance criteria based on workshop standards.

The report does not constitute an unlimited guarantee of quality or durability and does not replace a full diagnosis after installation.

Engines without a "TEST OK" result are not approved for sale.

The engines and gearboxes offered are used items. Normal signs of use and wear resulting from age and previous operation do not constitute a defect in the Goods.

Accessories: Accessories/additional components (injectors, turbocharger, high-pressure pump, alternator, sensors, etc.) form part of the sale only if they are expressly identified in the offer/invoice as included in the scope of delivery. Otherwise, these items are attached for transport purposes or supplied as a free addition.

Design variations: Differences in minor accessories, mountings, sensors, plugs, covers or oil pans resulting from the model year, market version or manufacturer changes do not constitute a defect in the Goods, provided that the basic block and cylinder head correspond to the ordered type.

Proper operation and retention of complaint rights require the Goods to be installed by a professional automotive workshop in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's procedures.

Before the unit is started for the first time, the Buyer/Workshop is strictly required to:

Inspect and replace the complete timing drive (belt/chain together with tensioners and rollers).

Replace all operating fluids (engine/gearbox oil) and complete filters (oil, fuel and air).

Correctly bleed the cooling system and crankshaft system and safely build up oil pressure before starting.

Inspect and correctly set the valve timing.

Documentation requirements when submitting a complaint: The Buyer must provide an itemized invoice/receipt from the workshop confirming installation and listing the new parts and fluids used, a video recording of the engine's first start confirming that the cooling and crankshaft systems were bled, and a diagnostic report. The Seller reserves the right to require the engine control unit (ECU) to be supplied in order to verify the software (check for chip tuning).

The Buyer must not remove, damage or modify any security seals, markings or stamps placed on the Goods.

Without the Seller's prior written/email consent, the Buyer may not carry out unauthorized repairs or dismantle or modify the purchased Goods.

How to submit a complaint: Complaints are accepted exclusively electronically via the complaint form available in the "COMPLAINTS" section of the Seller's website. Submissions sent by email, online messenger (e.g. WhatsApp), SMS or made by telephone are for information purposes only and do not formally initiate the complaints procedure.

Response deadline: The Seller will respond to a Consumer's complaint within 14 days after it has been submitted correctly and completely via the website form.

Duty to deliver the Goods, preparation for transport and collection address:

Verification requirement: Making the Goods available and delivering them to the Seller for detailed technical verification is a necessary condition for examining the complaint and determining the cause of the fault.

Packing method: The Buyer is required to prepare and hand over the complete Goods safely packed on a pallet.

Place and address of collection: Technical verification takes place in Poland. The exact address of the relevant receiving warehouse/service centre in Poland will be provided to the Buyer (at the email address stated in the form) after formal acceptance of the submission made via the website form. Sending the Goods to the Seller's registered-office address without authorization, or without first submitting the form and arranging collection, will result in refusal of the shipment.

Absolute duty to drain operating fluids: Before handing over or sending an engine/gearbox for complaint verification, the Buyer (or workshop) is strictly required to drain the unit completely of all operating fluids added during installation (engine/gearbox oil and coolant) and secure the Goods against leaks. Any fluid leak during transport that results in freight penalties or damage to other shipments is charged entirely to the Buyer.

Outcome of verification and costs of an unjustified complaint:

If the Seller's technical assessment shows that the fault arose for reasons not attributable to the Seller (including an installation error by the workshop, failure to replace the timing system, operation without oil/fluids, overheating, unapproved modifications, chip tuning or broken seals), the complaint will be rejected as unjustified.

If the complaint is rejected, the Buyer is required to cover the cost of returning the pallet and the cost of the diagnostic verification/technical assessment at the Seller's workshop hourly rate. The Goods will be released to the Buyer after these amounts have been paid.

Unauthorized repairs and broken seals: Unauthorized repairs, dismantling of the block/cylinder head, or breaking seals before verification by the Seller constitute grounds for rejecting the complaint because the cause of the fault can no longer be determined objectively.

No on-site service: The Seller does not provide an "on-site technician visit" service.

A Buyer accepting a shipment handled by an external freight forwarder is required to inspect the condition of the packaging and pallet shipment carefully at the time of delivery in the courier's presence.

If transport damage is identified, a Damage Report must be drawn up in the courier's/driver's presence and photographic evidence must be taken.

Failure to draw up a damage report at the time of delivery may prevent claims from being pursued against the carrier.

Applicable law: Sales contracts and these Terms and Conditions are governed by Polish law, excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG).

Clause for sales within the European Union (B2C): The choice of Polish law does not deprive a Consumer (or an Entrepreneur with consumer rights) domiciled or habitually resident outside Poland, in another EU Member State, of the protection granted under provisions of that state that cannot be excluded by contract (pursuant to Article 6(2) of Regulation (EC) No 593/2008 – Rome I). In matters not regulated by these Terms and Conditions, or to the extent that the law of the Consumer's habitual residence grants more favourable mandatory rights, the relevant national provisions of that EU Member State apply directly.

Exclusion for transactions with Entrepreneurs (B2B): In relations with Entrepreneurs (B2B), all disputes arising from or related to the contract will be resolved exclusively by the court with territorial jurisdiction over the Seller's registered office in Poland.
