2.1. These Terms of Service regulate the conditions of purchases in the kittycoly.hu webshop (hereinafter: Webshop) operated by KittyBrands Kft. (hereinafter: Seller). By making a purchase in the Webshop, the Buyer accepts the provisions of these Terms.
These Terms are governed by Hungarian law, in particular the Civil Code (Act V of 2013), the Government Decree 45/2014. (II.26.) on detailed rules of consumer-business contracts, and the Act CVIII of 2001 on certain issues of electronic commerce services. Sector-specific regulations apply to special products. Mandatory legal provisions apply to the parties without express stipulation.
2.2. These Terms are effective from 27 June 2026 and remain in force until revoked. Amendments will be published on the website. Amendments do not affect previously concluded contracts; they have no retroactive effect.
2.3. The Seller accepts no responsibility for the sale of products published on other websites not operated by the Seller.
3. Products available for purchase
3.1. Products may be ordered online (or occasionally by phone). Prices are in Hungarian forint, including VAT, but do not include shipping and payment fees. There is no separate packaging fee, except for special packaging.
3.2. The webshop displays the name, description and (where possible) photo of each product. Product images are illustrative; the actual product may differ slightly in appearance. The Seller is not liable for any minor differences between images and reality.
3.3. In case of promotions, the Seller informs about the details and duration of the promotion in accordance with the law.
3.4. In case of incorrect price display, the Seller is not obliged to fulfill the order at that price. The Seller may offer the correct price, which the User may accept or reject. Without agreement, no contract is concluded.
An incorrect price is in particular a price of 0 HUF, 1 HUF, or a promotional price that does not correspond to the indicated discount.
4. Registration / Purchase
4.1. Steps to place an order:
- Select the desired product and add it to the cart
- Review the cart and adjust quantities
- Enter shipping and billing information
- Select payment method
- Finalize the order ("Place order" button)
- Receive confirmation e-mail
The automatic confirmation e-mail only confirms receipt of the order and does not constitute contractual acceptance. The contract is concluded with explicit confirmation by the Seller or upon dispatch of the product. The Seller reserves the right to refuse an order (e.g. out of stock, incorrect price due to technical error) — in which case the Buyer is notified without delay and any paid amount is refunded.
By placing the order, the User acknowledges that, in accordance with § 15 (and other provisions, e.g. § 20) of Government Decree 45/2014. (II.26.), a payment obligation arises with the order.
4.2. If false or third-party data is provided, the electronic contract may be challenged in court. If successfully challenged, the contract becomes invalid retroactively, or — if it conceals another contract — must be judged accordingly.
4.3. The Seller is not liable for delivery delays or other problems arising from incorrect data. However, after consultation and identification, the Seller may correct erroneous data in the order.
4.4. The Seller is not liable for damages arising from forgotten passwords or passwords obtained by unauthorized persons, provided this is not the Seller's fault.
5. Order processing and fulfillment
5.1. Orders are processed in order of receipt on business days. Orders placed outside business hours are processed on the next business day. Confirmation is always sent electronically.
5.2. The general fulfillment deadline is 3–5 business days from the conclusion of the contract.
5.3. The Seller is obliged to deliver the product; the User is obliged to pay the purchase price and accept delivery.
5.4. Risk of damage passes to the buyer upon receipt of the product, or upon handover to the carrier if chosen by the buyer.
5.5. In case of delay, the User may request fulfillment, set an additional deadline, or — if no longer interested in fulfillment — withdraw from the contract. In certain cases, withdrawal is possible without an additional deadline.
5.6. If the product is not available, the Seller must notify the User and refund any amount paid.
5.7. If the User does not accept the ordered product, this constitutes a breach of contract. In this case, the Seller is entitled to claim shipping and storage costs (both ways), and any legal proceedings costs may also be charged to the User.

10. Warranty and guarantee
10.1. Defective performance
The Seller is in defective performance if the service does not meet the quality requirements specified in the contract or by law at the time of performance. It does not qualify as defective performance if the entitled party knew or should have known about the defect at the conclusion of the contract.
In contracts between a consumer and a business under the Civil Code, any clause that modifies the rules on warranty for defects and guarantee to the consumer's disadvantage is void.
Warranty rights are due only to consumers under the Civil Code. A business is a person acting in the course of their profession, independent occupation or business activity.
10.2. Warranty for defects
In case of defective performance, the Buyer may make a warranty claim for defects under §§ 6:159–6:167 of the Civil Code.
Within the warranty for defects, the Consumer may request repair or replacement, except where this is impossible or would entail disproportionate additional cost. Failing this, the Consumer may request price reduction or withdrawal. The Consumer may switch from one chosen right to another; the cost of doing so is borne by the Consumer, unless the Seller gave cause for it.
Under the Civil Code and Government Decree 373/2021. (VI.30.), the Consumer is also entitled to price reduction or withdrawal if repair/replacement fails, the defect recurs, the defect is serious, or performance cannot be expected within a reasonable time.
In case of withdrawal, the burden of proving that the defect is insignificant lies with the Seller. The Consumer is entitled to withhold the purchase price until the defective performance is remedied.
The deadline for repair/replacement is counted from notice of the defect, and is at the Seller's expense, including removal and reinstallation.
The Consumer is required to notify the defect within 2 months of discovery, and may exercise their rights for 2 years (1 year for used products) from performance.
Within 1 year, the burden of proof lies with the Seller; thereafter with the Consumer.
10.3. Product warranty
As a product warranty claim, the Consumer may only request repair or replacement of the defect, from the manufacturer or distributor.
The product is defective if it does not meet the quality requirements applicable at the time of placing on the market, or the manufacturer's description.
The claim may be enforced within 2 years of placing on the market.
The Consumer must prove that the defect already existed at the time of placing on the market.
The manufacturer is exempt if they prove that:
- they did not place the product on the market in the course of business, or
- the defect was not recognizable according to the state of science, or
- the defect results from a legal requirement.
Warranty for defects and product warranty may be enforced in parallel, but after successful product warranty, further claims lie with the manufacturer.
10.4. Mandatory guarantee
Under Government Decree 93/2024. (IV.23.), for consumer purchases above 10,000 HUF:
| Purchase price | Guarantee period |
|---|---|
| 10,000 – 250,000 HUF | 2 years |
| Above 250,000 HUF | 3 years |
| Refurbished / repackaged | 1 year |
The guarantee period starts on the day the product is handed over. The invoice serves as the guarantee card.
Guarantee rights: repair or replacement, or if this is not possible or disproportionate, price reduction or withdrawal (Civil Code and Government Decree 373/2021.). Withdrawal is not possible for insignificant defects.
The Seller must perform repair/replacement within 15 days where possible (NGM Decree 19/2014. (IV.29.)).
If the product cannot be repaired: replacement within 8 days, failing which a refund.
If defective again after 3 repairs: replacement or refund.
If not repairable within 30 days: replacement or refund.
The Seller is only exempt from guarantee if proving the defect arose after performance.
The guarantee does not cover: improper use, mechanical damage, unauthorized repair, normal wear, liquid damage.
The guarantee is mandatory for products under IM Decree 10/2024. (VI.28.).
11. Procedure for warranty claims
Warranty and guarantee claims are handled in accordance with NGM Decree 19/2014. (IV.29.) and § 6:166 of the Civil Code; cannot deviate to the consumer's detriment.
The Consumer must prove the purchase (invoice or receipt). Warranty/guarantee costs are borne by the Seller.
The Seller takes a record of the reported claim and provides a copy to the Consumer; this must be kept for 3 years.
In case of rejection, the Seller must inform the Consumer within 5 business days of the reasons and remedies available.
Repair or replacement must be carried out by the Seller within 15 days where possible; in case of longer time, with an obligation to inform.
12. Miscellaneous
The Seller may use contractors; their conduct is treated as if it were the Seller's own.
If any part of these Terms is invalid, the remaining parts remain valid.
Failure to exercise a right does not constitute a waiver; waiver is only valid in writing.
The parties will resolve disputes amicably.
The contract is governed by Hungarian law, and in case of consumer disputes, the court of the consumer's place of residence has exclusive jurisdiction (Civil Procedure Code § 26 (1)).
The Seller does not apply territorial or nationality-based discrimination in terms of access, payment or service conditions.
Operations comply with Regulation (EU) 2018/302 (prohibition of geo-blocking).

Written complaints must be answered substantively by the Seller within 30 days, with reasons in case of rejection.
The Seller keeps records of complaints and responses for 3 years.
In case of rejection, the Consumer is entitled to:
- turn to the consumer protection authority (government office), or
- turn to the conciliation board.
The conciliation board resolves consumer disputes out of court (Consumer Protection Act). The aim is settlement, failing which a decision is made.
The Seller is required to cooperate in the conciliation board procedure.
In case of dispute, the Consumer may also turn to court.
14. Dispute resolution
In case of rejection of a complaint, the Consumer is entitled to turn to the consumer protection authority (government office) based on the Consumer Protection Act and applicable legislation, or to file a request with the conciliation board with jurisdiction over the Consumer's place of residence or stay for out-of-court resolution of the consumer dispute.
The conciliation board's task is to attempt to bring about an agreement between the parties; failing this, to provide a quick, simple and cost-effective resolution. The board may issue a recommendation or, under certain conditions, a binding decision.
The Seller is required to cooperate in the proceedings, submit a response and attend the hearing or provide representation.
The Consumer may ultimately turn to court for resolution.
