- Scope of the General Terms and Conditions
The GTC is effective from the date specified below, identical to the date of publication, and remains valid indefinitely. The provisions apply to all Buyers and online educational materials from the effective date. The Service Provider reserves the right to modify these General Terms and Conditions, and this right specifically extends to the annexes. Any modifications take effect simultaneously with their publication on the Website.
In case of modification, the General Terms and Conditions valid and effective at the time of the order submission will be applied. The General Terms and Conditions apply to the following services provided by the Service Provider: purchasing online educational materials (webinars, courses) available from the Service Provider. The services can only be used by the person who ordered the online product, received confirmation from the Service Provider, paid the price, and accepted the current General Terms and Conditions. These General Terms and Conditions regulate the rights and obligations arising between the contracting parties in the course of using the services mentioned above.
- Establishment of the contract, termination of the contract
The legal relationship between the Buyer and the Service Provider is established by accepting the present General Terms and Conditions, which define the rights and obligations of both parties. The contract is concluded electronically when the Buyer orders the online educational material, submits the order, and the Service Provider confirms it (expressly accepts the Buyer’s offer) to the email address provided by the Buyer, in compliance with data protection regulations. The Service Provider is entitled to withdraw from the contract, even after returning the confirmation, if fulfillment is no longer reasonably expected from them (e.g., the sale of the online educational material is discontinued, technical error, force majeure, etc.).
In the case of withdrawal, the Service Provider is obliged to settle accounts with the Buyer if a financial transaction has occurred. The Service Provider provides information about the content of the online educational material and the course structure on its website for the Buyers. The Service Provider does not assume liability for any potential errors or inaccuracies.
Purchasing Online Educational Materials: On the website (www.gazdisuli.hu), individual products, courses, and detailed information can be accessed by clicking on the “Courses” menu item. The Buyer selects the desired online educational material and clicks the button to initiate the purchase, which is uniquely worded for each product (e.g., “Join,” “Apply,” “Buy the Course,” “This Is Exactly What I Need,” “I Will Find Out,” “I Want to Learn,” etc.). Once the Buyer selects the appropriate educational material, an “Order Summary” page appears, where the Buyer provides personal details (email address, billing address, and selects the country from a dropdown menu).
Subsequently, the bank card details are entered (cardholder’s name, card number, expiration date, CVC code). The General Terms and Conditions are then accepted by checking the appropriate box. Once everything is in order, the Buyer submits the order by clicking the “Enroll in the Course” button.
By submitting the order, the Buyer explicitly acknowledges that their offer is considered made, and their statement – if confirmed by the Service Provider according to these General Terms and Conditions – entails a payment obligation. Upon receipt of the order, the Service Provider confirms it with an automatic electronic message.
The contract is established between the Buyer and the Service Provider upon the electronic submission of the order and sending the confirmation, indicating that the Service Provider accepts the Buyer’s order. Upon successful payment, the Service Provider registers the Buyer’s name and email address on the online education platform, and the Buyer receives notification via email. The Buyer then registers on the gazdisuli.hu platform, creates their account, and accesses the educational material. By downloading, the Buyer acquires a limited right to use the material exclusively for personal purposes and on their device (e.g., personal computer, tablet, mobile phone, hereinafter: device).
If the Buyer sends an order on the website and the Service Provider confirms it via email (expressly accepts the Buyer’s offer), a sales contract is concluded between the Buyer and the Service Provider. (If the confirmation email does not reach the Buyer within 48 hours, the Buyer is released from the obligation and is not required to purchase the ordered product.)
The Buyer acknowledges that the contract concluded in this manner is not considered a written contract, and Hungarian law shall govern it. The present General Terms and Conditions apply to the contract. The contract is concluded in the Hungarian language, and the Service Provider stores the orders electronically; the contract is not recorded in any other way. The Buyer must provide their real, accurate data during the order process. In cases where false or data belonging to another person is provided during registration, the resulting electronic contract is void. The Service Provider excludes any liability if the Buyer uses services under another person’s name or with another person’s data. The Service Provider assumes no responsibility for any problems resulting from incorrect, incomplete, or inaccurate data provided by the Buyer, as the Service Provider ensures that the Buyer can verify the data during the order process.
- Purchase price
The Buyer is obligated to pay a fee for the online educational material. The purchase price is indicated in the product descriptions, on the website, or on social media platforms. The displayed prices are valid consumer prices in Hungarian Forint and include VAT. The Service Provider reserves the right to change prices. However, the final payable amount does not change after the confirmation sent by the Service Provider. If any technical error or misprint results in an incorrect price significantly different from the market price, the Service Provider will contact the Buyer via email before providing the ordered online product for clarification. Such orders will not be considered valid by the Service Provider, and the Service Provider assumes no liability for any damages arising from this. The Service Provider strives to display the purchase price accurately. If an incorrect price is displayed despite all due care, the Service Provider is not obligated to sell the online product at the incorrect price.
- Possibility to correct data entry errors
During the ordering process, the Buyer can continuously correct or delete the entered data. If the Buyer wishes to modify the provided data after submitting the order, they can notify the Service Provider using the contact details provided in the present General Terms and Conditions. By finalizing the order, the Buyer acknowledges that the Service Provider cannot be held liable for damages resulting from the Buyer’s incorrect data entry or inaccuracies in the provided information. An incorrectly provided email address or the unavailability of the Buyer’s email inbox (e.g., full mailbox) may prevent the confirmation from being received, which may hinder the conclusion of the contract. In such cases, the Service Provider will attempt to contact the Buyer by other means.
- Payment and cancellation conditions
The fee for the online educational material can be settled via credit card payment through the Stripe system. The product becomes accessible to the Buyer after payment.
Credit Card Payment Using Stripe: Online payment is possible through the Stripe service. The Service Provider assumes no liability for any errors arising from payments made through Stripe. The Buyer is responsible for ensuring that they are authorized to use the specified payment method and device and that the payment data provided is accurate and correct. The Service Provider declares that it does not handle, collect, or store any payment transaction data when using Stripe. Furthermore, the Data Processing Notice governs the handling of personal data.
In compliance with legal obligations, the Service Provider draws the Buyer’s attention to the fact that making a contractual declaration (submitting the order) entails a payment obligation in favor of the Service Provider. The Buyer agrees to receive the invoice for the purchase price electronically at the email address provided by them. The Buyer must ensure that the electronic invoice can be delivered and that technical settings (e.g., firewalls) do not prevent this. In case of a change in the email address, the Buyer is obliged to inform the Service Provider via email.
- Time of performance, use of the service, liability
The time of performance is defined as the provision of access to the online educational material and the sending of information necessary for such access. The information will be sent to the Buyer within a minimum of 2 working days after the purchase price has been credited to the Service Provider’s bank account. The Buyer acknowledges that the Service Provider undertakes to provide the contracted service in compliance with professional and ethical standards, to the best of their knowledge and experience, while considering the Buyer’s interests. However, the Service Provider does not guarantee any results based on the information provided during the online course.

The right of withdrawal regarding the placed orders can only be exercised before the information necessary for access is sent.
- Warranty and guarantee
The Service Provider offers a statutory warranty and guarantee for the products it markets in the event of product defects. A product is considered defective if it does not meet the quality requirements specified in the contract or by law at the time of performance. The Service Provider does not perform defectively if the Buyer knew of the defect at the time of concluding the contract or should have been aware of it. In the case of a potential defect in the purchased product, the Buyer can enforce a warranty or guarantee claim or, in specific cases, a guarantee claim. The procedure is governed by Regulation 19/2014. (IV. 29.) NGM.
- Accessories warranty
In what cases can the Buyer exercise their right to the warranty of merchantability?
In the event of defective performance by the Service Provider, the Buyer may enforce a warranty of merchantability claim against the Service Provider in accordance with the provisions of the Civil Code.
What rights does the Buyer have based on their warranty of merchantability claim?
The Buyer can choose from the following warranty of merchantability claims: They may request a repair or replacement unless the fulfillment of the chosen option is impossible or would result in disproportionate additional costs for the Service Provider compared to another solution. If the Buyer does not request or cannot request repair or replacement, they may demand a proportional reduction in the purchase price, or they can repair the defect themselves or have it repaired at the Service Provider’s expense, or – as a last resort – may withdraw from the contract. The Buyer can switch from their chosen warranty of merchantability right to another; however, the cost of such a change must be borne by the Buyer unless it was justified or the Service Provider provided a reason for it.
What is the deadline for the Buyer to enforce their warranty of merchantability claim?
The Buyer must report the defect immediately upon discovery but no later than within two months of the discovery. However, the Buyer may no longer enforce their warranty of merchantability rights beyond the two-year limitation period from the performance date of the contract. In the case of second-hand goods, this limitation period is one year.
Against whom can the Buyer enforce their warranty of merchantability claim?
The Buyer may enforce their warranty of merchantability claim against the Service Provider.
What other conditions must be met for the Buyer to enforce their warranty of merchantability rights?
Within six months from the date of performance, there are no additional conditions beyond reporting the defect if the Buyer proves that the product or service was provided by the Service Provider. However, after the six-month period, the Buyer is obliged to prove that the defect recognized by the Buyer already existed at the time of performance.
- Product Warranty
In what cases can the Buyer exercise their right to the product warranty?
In the case of a defect in a movable item (product), the Buyer – at their choice – may enforce either their warranty of merchantability rights or product warranty rights.
What rights does the Buyer have based on their product warranty claim?
As a product warranty claim, the Buyer may request only the repair or replacement of the defective product.
When is a product considered defective?
A product is considered defective if it does not meet the quality requirements valid at the time of being placed on the market or if it does not have the properties described by the manufacturer.
What is the deadline for the Buyer to enforce their product warranty claim?
The Buyer can enforce their product warranty claim within two years from the date the product was placed on the market by the manufacturer. After this period, the Buyer loses this right.
Against whom and under what conditions can the Buyer enforce their product warranty claim?
The Buyer can exercise their product warranty claim solely against the manufacturer or distributor of the movable item. In the case of enforcing a product warranty claim, the Buyer is responsible for proving the product’s defect.
Under what circumstances is the manufacturer (distributor) exempt from product warranty obligations?
The manufacturer (distributor) is exempt from the product warranty obligations only if they can prove that:
- the product was not manufactured or marketed in the course of their business activities, or
- the defect was not detectable based on the state of scientific and technical knowledge at the time it was placed on the market, or
- the defect in the product results from the application of a law or a mandatory regulatory requirement.
The manufacturer (distributor) needs to prove only one of these reasons to be exempted. The Buyer cannot simultaneously enforce warranty of merchantability and product warranty claims for the same defect. However, upon successful enforcement of the product claim, the Buyer may enforce their warranty of merchantability rights concerning the replaced product or repaired part against the manufacturer.
- Warranty There is no mandatory statutory guarantee obligation for the products sold by the Service Provider.
- How to report a warranty claim

The Service Provider strives to complete repairs or replacements within 15 days. Products returned for repair will be accepted against a receipt issued by the Service Provider, which will indicate the name and address of the Buyer, the necessary identification details of the product, the date of receipt, and the estimated date of return of the repaired product.
- Complaints handling regarding the Service Provider’s activities
If the Buyer is dissatisfied with the service provided by the Service Provider and wishes to file a complaint, they may do so in writing via postal mail (PetWiseCare Ltd., 1054 Budapest, Honvéd u. 8. I. em 2. ajtó), electronic mail ([email protected]), or through the chat window on the website (“Send a Question,” “Start Chat,” “Hi, how can we help you?”).

For other cases – unless a directly applicable legal act of the European Union stipulates otherwise – the Service Provider is required to respond in writing within 30 days of receiving the complaint and take action to inform the Buyer of the decision. Shorter deadlines may be set by law, and longer deadlines may be stipulated by an act of law.
The Service Provider must provide justification if the complaint is rejected in whole or in part. If the complaint is rejected, the Service Provider must inform the Buyer in writing of the authority or conciliation body that can be contacted based on the nature of the complaint. This information must include the contact details (address, telephone, and online presence) of the competent authority or the conciliation body with jurisdiction based on the Buyer’s place of residence or stay. Additionally, the notification must specify whether the Service Provider will participate in the conciliation procedure.
If the complaint cannot be resolved through other means, or if the Buyer (acting as a Consumer) can only submit a complaint verbally, they may do so. The Service Provider is obliged to immediately investigate and address any verbal complaints. If the Buyer disagrees with the handling of their complaint or if the immediate investigation is not possible, the Service Provider is required to record the complaint and their position on the matter in writing and provide a copy of the record to the Buyer in case of an in-person complaint. In the case of verbal complaints submitted via telephone or other electronic communication, the Service Provider must respond with a substantive answer and provide the written complaint response within 30 days.

- a detailed description of the complaint, including the documents and other evidence provided by the Buyer,
- the Service Provider’s statement concerning the complaint, if an immediate investigation is possible,
- the name of the person recording the complaint and – except for complaints submitted via telephone or electronic communication – the Buyer’s signature,
- the date and location of the complaint record,
- the unique identification number for verbal complaints submitted via telephone or electronic communication.

- Content management
The Service Provider’s aim is to protect the interests and fundamental rights of Consumers.
The Service Provider reserves the right to unilaterally decide on the scope of data and information displayed on the website to ensure the security and reliability of the content. This includes, but is not limited to, the manner, location, and duration of the display, and the Service Provider is also entitled to make changes to the rules related to the content. The Service Provider has the right to suspend or remove any content that is unlawful, violates these Terms and Conditions, any applicable legal regulations, or accepted social moral norms.
The Consumer may report or submit a complaint regarding illegal content in writing via postal mail (PetWiseCare Ltd., 1054 Budapest, Honvéd u. 8. I. em 2. ajtó), by email ([email protected]), or through the chat window available on the website (“Send a Question,” “Start Chat,” “Hi, how can we help you?”). The Service Provider reserves the right to monitor and moderate all content uploaded by the Consumer, either at its own discretion or based on the submitted complaint, if such content violates these General Terms and Conditions or is otherwise deemed unlawful. Once the Service Provider becomes aware of such content, it will take immediate action to remove it or restrict access.
The Service Provider reserves the right to suspend services for a reasonable period and after prior warning to those who place illegal content on the website. This includes but is not limited to offensive, hateful, or inciting content, or any content that violates these General Terms and Conditions, other applicable laws, or accepted social moral norms. In such cases, the Service Provider reserves the right to prohibit any Consumer from posting public reviews or uploading other content. The Consumer will be notified in advance about the restriction, the reasons for it, and the available legal remedies, and such restrictions may last for up to 10 days for the first occurrence. If the Consumer places illegal content on the website more than three times and continues to act contrary to these Terms and Conditions despite multiple warnings from the Service Provider, the Service Provider is entitled to suspend or terminate the User’s account.
If a Consumer has previously submitted a report about the same content and the Service Provider has already investigated it, or if the Consumer’s report is clearly abusive, made in bad faith, or lacks precise information, justification, and facts about why the content is illegal, the Service Provider is entitled to temporarily suspend the possibility of submitting reports. The Consumer will be informed of the suspension in advance. The suspension may not exceed 10 days for the first occurrence.
Consumers who upload content to the website (e.g., by submitting textual reviews) and other private individuals who have reported illegal content to the Service Provider may file a complaint against any decision made by the Service Provider regarding content, especially concerning its visibility or removal (internal complaint handling system). Consumers may also file a complaint against any decision regarding content restrictions, account suspension, or termination.
The Service Provider will inform the Consumer about how to submit such complaints in the decision related to the suspension or termination of their User account or the visibility or removal of the content.
Complaints may be submitted within 6 months from the date the decision was received by the Consumer.
Consumers and private individuals who are the recipients of the aforementioned decisions are entitled to select an out-of-court dispute resolution body certified in accordance with the European Parliament and Council Regulation (EU) 2022/2065 of 19 October 2022 to resolve disputes related to the Service Provider’s decisions or complaints that could not be resolved through the internal complaint handling system. The certified out-of-court dispute resolution bodies are published by the National Media and Infocommunications Authority.
- Conciliation and other remedies
The Service Provider and the User strive to resolve disputes amicably. The Consumer is entitled to file a complaint with the consumer protection authority. If the Consumer’s complaint is fully or partially rejected, or if the deadline for investigating the complaint has elapsed without result, the Consumer may turn to the competent authorities based on their place of residence.

Consumers also have the option to turn to a Conciliation Board.
Conciliation Boards According to Territorial Jurisdiction: Conciliation Boards
The Conciliation Board has the authority to resolve consumer disputes out of court. Its task is to attempt to facilitate an agreement between the parties to settle the consumer dispute. The Service Provider is obliged to cooperate in the conciliation process, including submitting a response to the Conciliation Board and ensuring the participation of a person authorized to reach an agreement.
If the business’s registered office or place of operation is not located in the county where the Conciliation Board operates, the business’s obligation to cooperate extends to offering the possibility of a written agreement in line with the Consumer’s request. In cross-border consumer disputes related to online service contracts, the Conciliation Board operating alongside the Budapest Chamber of Commerce and Industry is exclusively competent.
The Consumer is entitled to seek legal recourse in court if a dispute arises regarding a complaint.
- Miscellaneous and final provisions

The Service Provider assumes no liability for damages resulting from the lack of this knowledge or from errors attributable to electronic products or IT and telecommunications service providers (e.g., internet service providers). The Buyer is responsible for protecting their computer and the data stored on it.
If any mandatory legal provision or court decision restricts or invalidates any part of these Terms and Conditions, it does not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
