•If a Defect is detected in an Item, the Consumer may:

◦file a declaration demanding the price be lowered;

◦file a declaration of withdrawal from the Contract.

•The Consumer may demand to replace the Item with another one, free from any Defects, or the Consumer may demand that the Seller removes the defect from the Item, unless this process happens to be impossible or would require disproportionate costs.

•If a sold Item is found to have a Defect, the Consumer may also:

◦demand that the item be replaced with another one, free from any Defects;

•The Seller is obliged to replace the damaged Item with another one, free from any Defect, or remove the Defect, in a reasonable period of time, avoiding any unnecessary inconvenience for the Consumer.

•The Seller may refuse the Consumer’s demand, if removing the Defect in a way demanded by the Buyer is impossible or would incur unreasonably high costs in comparison to the way proposed by the Seller.

•In a case where the Item with the Defect has been installed, the Consumer may demand that the Seller uninstall and then install the Item again, following the removal of the Defect or the replacement of the Item with another one, free of any Defect. The Consumer is however liable to cover some of the costs of this operation, equal to the excess of the value of the original Item sold, or may demand that the Seller pays for the costs of uninstallation and installation up to the value of the original Item sold. Should the Seller not comply with these provisions, the Consumer is entitled to conduct these operations at the Sellers’s expense and risk.

•The Consumer exercising their warranty rights is obliged to deliver the Item with the Defect to the Warranty Address, at the Seller’s expense, and if the delivery of the Item due to its type or the means of its installation would be excessively difficult, the Consumer is obliged to make the Item available to the Seller in its current locations. Should the Seller not comply with these provisions, the Consumer is entitled to send the Item at the Sellers’s expense and risk.

•The costs of replacement or repairs are covered by the Seller, with the exception of the situation described in art. 5 point 10.

•Within the timeframes specified in art. 5 points 15-17, the Consumer may file a declaration of withdrawal from the Contract or a demand for lowering the price due to a Physical Defect of the sold Item, and if the Consumer demanded that the Item with the Defect be replaced with a defect-free version, or that the Defect be removed, the timeframe for filing the declaration of withdrawal or the demand for lowering the price begins at the moment that the deadline for removing the Defect or the replacement of the Item is breached.

•Should any of the warranty liabilities be contested at court or in an arbitral tribunal, the timeframe for other rights granted to the Consumer with regards to warranty is suspended until the final disposal of the court proceedings. These provisions also apply to mediation proceedings, and the timeframe for fulfilling other warranty rights granted to the Consumer starts with the moment the court accepts the settlement concluded before the mediator, or the mediation proceedings are not successfully concluded.

•To exercise warranty rights for Legal Defects of the sold Item, art. 5 point 15-16 are applied, however the timeframe begins on the day the Consumer learned of the Defect’s existence, and if the Consumer learned of it as a result of third party proceedings, on the day that the decision on the third party proceedings became legally binding.

•If due to the Item’s Defect the Consumer filed a declaration of withdrawal from the Contract or demanded that the price be lowered, they can request that the Seller reimburses them for the losses they suffered as a result of concluding the Contract without knowing of the Item’s Defect, even if the Seller is not responsible for the Defect. More specifically, the Consumer may demand the return of costs associated with the conclusion of the Contract, the costs of reception, shipping, storage, and insurance of the Item, and any other costs associated with investments that bore no profit for the Consumer and were not returned by a third party, as well as costs associate with court proceedings. This does not contradict the general provisions concerning the removal of Defects.

•If the Seller was aware of the Defect, but kept that information from the Consumer, no timeframes are applicable for the Customer’s right to warranty.

•The Seller, as long as they are liable to financial remuneration for the Consumer, shall pay the required amounts in a timely manner, not later than within the timeframes specified by the law.

The Buyer is bound by the terms and conditions that they accept when placing an Order, during the entire process of order processing and post-sale assistance. Should the Consumer consider the up-to-date version as more preferable than the version they are bound with, they may inform the Seller of their preference to be bound by the updated version.

•In any cases not regulated by these Terms and Conditions, relevant provisions of the general law are applicable. Any conflicting matters, should the Consumer wish to do so, are resolved by means of arbitration proceedings before the Provincial Inspectorate of Trade Inspection. The Consumer may also utilise equivalent methods of pre-litigation or out-of-court conflict resolution, e.g. by means of the EU ODR Internet platform, or by choosing any of the applicable authorised entities in the OCCP Registry.
