    5. In assessing the unreasonableness of the costs to Mint, account shall be taken of all the circumstances of the case, in particular the significance of the non-conformity of the Goods with the contract, the value of the conforming Goods and the undue inconvenience to the Buyer caused by the change in the manner of bringing the Goods into conformity with the contract.

    1) The Mint has refused to bring the Goods into conformity with the contract in accordance with paragraph 4 above;

    2) The Mint has failed to bring the Goods into conformity with the contract in accordance with paragraphs 4 to 6 above;

    3) the non-conformity of the Goods with the contract continues even though the Mint has attempted to bring the Goods into conformity with the contract;

    13. If the lack of conformity concerns only some of the Goods delivered under the contract, the Buyer may withdraw from the contract only in respect of those Goods and also in respect of other Goods purchased by the Buyer together with the non-conforming Goods, if the Buyer cannot reasonably be expected to agree to keep only the conforming Goods.

    1) A change in universally applicable laws in the Republic of Poland to the extent that such a change in the laws modifies the content of the Rules or imposes an obligation on the Mint to modify such content in a specific manner;

    2) Issuance by public administration authorities, including in particular the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection, of decisions, recommendations, commitments or acts of analogous nature to the extent to which the aforementioned administrative acts modify the content of the Regulations or impose an obligation on the Mint to modify such content in a specific manner;

    3) Introduction by the Mint of new functionalities of the Portal/Internet shop or modification of their existing scope – in this case, an amendment to the content of the Terms and Conditions is permissible to the extent concerning such new functionalities;

    4) Introduction by the Mint of new or modification of existing IT systems – in this case, an amendment to the content of the Rules is permitted to the extent that is objectively necessary and directly related to the introduction or modification of the aforementioned IT systems;

    5) The emergence of judicial or administrative case law which indicates that contractual provisions analogous to those applied by the Mint may be contrary to the law, including in particular the law on consumer protection – in this case, a change in the content of the concluded Agreement will be admissible provided that, upon comprehensive consideration of the circumstances of a given case, it can be objectively considered that from the point of view of the average consumer customer of the Mint, the proposed change is in favour of such customer;

    6) The Terms and Conditions need to be supplemented, clarified or modified due to universally applicable laws in the Republic of Poland or for the sake of greater transparency of its provisions for consumers – in this case, an amendment to the Terms and Conditions is permissible to the extent that it enables the adjustment of the Terms and Conditions to legal regulations or greater transparency of its provisions.

    1) the content of the proposed amendment to the Rules of Procedure;

    2) the date on which the amendment comes into force;
