If the claim is settled by replacing the defective goods with faultless goods, the new warranty period for the new goods shall run again from the date of acceptance of the new goods.

 

5.2 The Seller may, by declaration in the warranty certificate issued to the Buyer, if applicable, provide a warranty exceeding the scope of the warranty provided for by law, the terms and scope of which shall be specified in the warranty certificate.

 

5.3 If the Buyer has made a claim for goods within the first 12 months of purchase, the Seller may reject the claim only on the basis of a professional assessment at the Seller's expense. If the Buyer has made a claim for the product after 12 months from the purchase and the Seller has rejected it, the person who has settled the claim is obliged to indicate in the claim settlement document to whom the Buyer may send the product for professional assessment. If the buyer proves that the seller is responsible for the defect, the buyer may reassert the claim; the warranty period does not expire while the professional assessment is being carried out. A claim made again cannot be rejected.

 

5.4 Liability rights for defects for which the warranty period applies shall be extinguished if they have not been exercised within the warranty period.

 

5.5 If the seller offers the buyer additional goods as a free gift in addition to the sold goods, it is up to the buyer whether he accepts the offered gift. However, the gift is not the goods sold, therefore the seller is not liable for any defects. However, if the seller is aware of any defects in the goods, the seller is obliged to draw the buyer's attention to them when offering the gift. If the gift has defects that the seller has not warned the buyer about, the buyer is entitled to return it. If the buyer has the right to withdraw from the contract, the buyer is obliged to return to the seller everything he has received under the contract, i.e. including the goods received as a gift.

  

  1. RIGHTS OF THE BUYER

6.1 In the event of avoidable defects, the removal of which will not impair the appearance, function and quality of the product, the Buyer shall have the right to demand

- free of charge, proper and timely removal of defects,

- replacement of the defective goods with faultless goods or, if the defect relates only to a part of the goods, replacement of the part, unless the Seller incurs disproportionate costs in relation to the price of the goods or the severity of the defect.

The seller may always replace the defective goods with faultless goods instead of removing the defect if this does not cause the buyer serious inconvenience.

 

6.2 In the case of irremediable defects that prevent the goods from being properly used as goods without defects, or if they are irremediable defects but the buyer cannot properly use the goods due to the reappearance of the defect after repair or due to a greater number of defects, the buyer has the right to:

- to demand the replacement of the defective goods with faultless ones,

- withdraw from the contract of sale (demand a full refund against the return of the purchased goods).

A defect whose complaint has not been dealt with within 30 days of receipt of the complaint shall also be considered as an irremediable defect.

 

6.3 In the event of an irremediable defect which does not prevent the goods from being used properly as goods without defect, the purchaser is entitled to a reasonable discount on the price according to the nature and severity of the defect.

 

6.4 If the buyer has the right to exchange the goods or the right to withdraw from the contract (refund), it is up to the buyer which of these rights he exercises. However, as soon as he has chosen one of these rights, he may no longer unilaterally change this choice.
