IV. Service ordering procedure
a) Defining user bricks
- Placing an order is possible if the Customer declares that he/she has the required number of Bricks and Detailed Bricks as part of his/her Bricks Collection. This declaration takes place in My Brikido / My Bricks section.
- The customer can define his/her own Brick Collection in several ways:
(i) indicating the specific sets he/she has (in My Sets of Bricks section)
(ii) indicating the individual bricks he/she has, grouping them into the so-called virtual bags (in My Bags section)
(iii) estimating the number of bricks using the so-called Boxes (in My boxes of bricks section) if the customer is not sure exactly how many bricks he/she has and what sets he/she has. The estimation involves the Customer providing the estimated volume of his/her Bricks, which fit into a tank measuring 30.0cm x 20.0cm x 12.0cm, with a capacity of approximately 7 liters (“Box”). Estimating the number of bricks owned is the fastest method of defining the Customer’s Brick Collection, however, it does not guarantee that such an estimate will reflect the precise number of the Customer’s bricks.
Combinations of the three above methods are possible. Brikido adds up the number of bricks declared in the above three ways. - Brikido allows you to use only part of your Collection of bricks for a specific order – each Set, Bag or Box can be activated or deactivated by the Customer before placing the Order.
b) Object Configuration
- The Customer selects a 3D model of the (3D) Object available on the Platform for which he or she wants to order Instructions.
- First, the selected (3D) Object model is presented to the Customer.
- After accepting the Object model, the Customer will be presented with a design of the Object made of individual 1×1 Bricks,
- After accepting the above-mentioned Object design, the Customer is able to change the view and check the appearance of an exemplary Object – that is, a model selected by the Customer composed of sample Bricks (which do not have to correspond to the bricks from his Bricks Collection).
- In the next stage, the Customer is obliged to select the size of the Object from those defined in the Platform. At this stage, the Customer can obtain a preview of the Object in the form of a 3D model, the Object made of individual 1×1 Bricks and the appearance of the Object composed of sample Bricks.
- During all steps of Object configuration, the Customer is presented with a table/a comparison that presents the volume of Bricks and the volume of Detailed Bricks necessary to order the Object with the same parameters from his/her Bricks Collection. If the Customer has too few of any category of Bricks, the order cannot be completed and the Customer should either reduce the size of the Object to be ordered or define additional Sets/Bags/Boxes in My Brikido section.
- The Instruction prepared for the Customer will only include bricks with the following dimensions: Flat bricks, the so-called tiles or Plates 1×1, 1×2, 1×3, 1×4, 1×5, 1×6, 1×8, 1×10, 1×12, 2×2, 2×3, 2×4 , 2×6, 2×8, 2×10, 2×12, 2×14, 2×16, 3×3, 4×4, 4×6, 4×8, 4×10, 4×12 and ‘thick’ Bricks, so-called bricks or Bricks 1×1, 1×2, 1×3, 1×4, 1×6, 1×8, 1×10, 1×12, 1×16, 2×2, 2×3, 2×4 , 2×6, 2×8, 2×10, 4×6, 4×10, 4×12, 4×18, 8×8, 8×16, 12×24 and assuming that a single flat Brick (1×1) Plate type has dimensions 0.8 x 0.8 x 0.32 cm. The instructions will not reflect the colors of the bricks owned by the customer.
c) Adding an Item to the Cart
- After completing the activities described in points a-b) above, the Customer adds the Item to the Cart.
- The Customer may have more than one Object in the Cart, but the Order must be placed for all Objects currently in the Cart, and the Objects must differ from each other (shape or size), as it is impossible to order two identical objects because their Instructions would be identical.
- To place an Order, the Customer must go to the Cart, where he or she can verify its contents again. Then, in order to finalize the Order, the Customer is obliged to use the button: “I order with the obligation to pay”. After passing this stage, it is not possible to change the Order (subject to further provisions regarding withdrawal from the Agreement).
d) Payment:
- Before making the payment, the Customer is obliged to provide his/her name, surname, country of residence (for the United States – also state) and his/her address (street with house number, city and zip code).
- any prices on the Platform are given in Polish zlotys, euros or US dollars and include all public law charges (gross prices),
- Before making the payment, the Customer is obliged to accept the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy,
- Brikido requires the customer’s declaration as follows: “I consent that Brikido will render the service under the current contract before withdrawal period expiration which is equivalent to my loss of the right to cancel the contract.”
- making a payment is possible through the payment service providers indicated on the Platform, after accepting the documents or consents required by them, after providing additional data required by these providers (e.g. payment/credit card numbers or e-mail address) or performing appropriate login activities (e.g. to banking portals),
- the main provider of payment services on the Platform is PayU,
- once the Customer obtains payment confirmation, the Agreement is concluded,
- After concluding the Agreement, Brikido will provide the Customer with confirmation of the conclusion of the Agreement. The Customer will also receive via email a personal invoice for the Order.
e) Providing the Customer with the Instructions
- After concluding the Agreement, an algorithm generating the Instructions is launched.
- The time needed to generate Instructions varies, depending on the complexity of the Object. The maximum time for generating Instructions is 24 hours. When placing the Order, the Customer will receive information about the approximate time of generating the Instructions.
- In some cases, it may occur that despite the conclusion of the Agreement, the Instruction will not be possible to generate (e.g. due to the inappropriate composition of the bricks owned by the Customer or technical limitations of the algorithm). In such a case, Brikido will inform the Customer about the above and will refund the payment within 14 days from informing about the inability to generate the Instructions, which will be equivalent to termination of the Agreement. If the Customer has placed an Order for more than one (3D) Object, and the inability to generate the Instruction applies only to part of the Order, the Agreement is terminated only with respect to these Objects for which it was not possible to generate the Instruction.
- After generating the Instructions, the Customer will receive notification to the e-mail address provided on the Platform. Once the Instructions are made available to the Customer, the Agreement is executed by Brikido.
- The Customer will have the opportunity to use the purchased Instructions throughout the entire period of having the Account, but no longer than up to 2 years after the last login to the Account. The Customer will not be able to download the Instructions or export it from the Platform in any other way.
- The instructions will include consecutive construction steps of the (3D) Object, and at each step the bricks necessary to be used will be marked. Each subsequent stage includes no more than 5 bricks necessary to use.
- The Customer is not entitled to grant third parties access to the Account, reproduce the Instructions or otherwise distribute them.

For the proper performance of the Agreement, it is not necessary for the Object to be identical to the Object presented to the Customer at the time of placing the Order.
b) In rare cases, the necessary brick to add may not be visible within the Instructions. In such a case, in the event of difficulties with the construction of the (3D) Object, the Customer has the opportunity to ask Brikido for support. The lack of visibility of a given Brick does not constitute an incorrect Instruction.
c) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Brikido’s liability for the performance of the Agreement is limited to the price paid by the Customer for a given (3D) Object.
