VII.  RIGHTS ARISING FROM DEFECTIVE PERFORMANCE

1. The Seller shall be liable to the Buyer for the goods being free from defects on receipt. In particular, the Seller is liable to the Buyer that, at the time the Buyer took delivery of the goods:

• the goods have the characteristics agreed between the parties and, in the absence of agreement, have the characteristics described by the Seller or the manufacturer, or expected by the Buyer in view of the nature of the goods and on the basis of the advertising carried out by them,
• the goods are fit for the purpose for which the Seller states they are to be used or for which goods of that kind are usually used,
• the goods correspond in quality or workmanship to the agreed sample or specimen if the quality or workmanship was determined by reference to an agreed sample or specimen,
• the goods are in the appropriate quantity, measure or weight, and  that the goods comply with the requirements of the legislation.

2. The Seller has obligations for defective performance at least to the extent that the manufacturer’s obligations for defective performance persist. The Buyer is otherwise entitled to exercise the right of defect which occurs in consumer goods within twenty-four months of receipt.

3. If the period of time for which the goods may be used is indicated on the goods sold, on their packaging, in the instructions accompanying the goods, or in advertising in accordance with other legal provisions, the provisions on the guarantee of quality shall apply. By guaranteeing the quality, the Seller undertakes that the goods will be fit for their usual purpose or retain their usual characteristics for a certain period of time. If the Buyer has rightly accused the Seller of a defect in the goods, the period for exercising rights under defective performance and the warranty period shall not run for the period during which the Buyer cannot use the defective goods.

4. The provisions referred to in the preceding paragraph of the Terms and Conditions shall not apply to goods sold at a lower price in respect of a defect for which the lower price was agreed, to wear and tear of the goods caused by their normal use, and, in the case of used goods, to a defect corresponding to the level of use or wear and tear that the goods had when received by the Buyer, or if this results from the nature of the goods. The Buyer is not entitled to the right of defective performance if they knew before receiving the goods that they were defective or if the Buyer themselves caused the defect.

5. In the event of a defect, the Buyer may submit a complaint to the Seller and demand:

• replacement with new goods,
• repair of the goods,
• a reasonable discount on the purchase price,
• withdrawal from the agreement.

6. The Buyer has the right to withdraw from the agreement:

• if the goods have a material defect,
• if the goods cannot be used properly because of the recurrence of a defect or defects after repair,
• in the event of multiple defects in the goods.

7. A material breach of the agreement is one which the breaching party already knew or had to know at the time of concluding the agreement that the other party would not have concluded the agreement if they had foreseen this breach.

8. In the case of a defect that constitutes an non-material breach of the agreement (regardless of whether the defect is remediable or irremovable), the Buyer is entitled to have the defect remedied or to a reasonable discount on the purchase price.

9. If the removable defect occurs repeatedly after repair (usually the third complaint for the same defect or the fourth for different defects), or the goods have a greater number of defects (usually at least three defects at the same time), the Buyer has the right to claim a discount on the purchase price, the replacement of goods, or withdrawal from the agreement.

10. When making a complaint, the Buyer is obliged to tell the Seller which right they have chosen. Changing their choice without the Seller’s consent is only possible if the Buyer has requested the repair of a defect that turns out to be irremediable. If the Buyer does not choose their right arising from a material breach of agreement in time, they shall have the same rights as in the case of a non-material breach of agreement.

11. If the repair or replacement of goods is not possible, the Buyer may demand a full refund of the purchase price upon withdrawal from the agreement.

12. If the Seller proves that the Buyer knew about the defect of the goods before acceptance or the Buyer caused it themselves, the Seller is not obliged to satisfy the Buyer's claim.

13. The Buyer cannot complain about discounted goods with respect to the reason for which the goods were discounted.

14. The Seller is obliged to accept the complaint at any establishment where the complaint can be accepted, possibly also at the registered office or place of business. The Seller is obliged to issue the Buyer with a written confirmation of when the Buyer exercised the right, what is the content of the complaint, and what method of handling the complaint the Buyer requires, as well as a confirmation of the date and method of handling the complaint, including confirmation of the repair and the duration of the repair, or a written justification of the rejection of the claim.

15. The Seller or an employee authorised by the Seller shall decide on the complaint immediately, in more complex cases within three working days. This time limit shall not include the time appropriate to the type of product or service required for a professional assessment of the defect. The complaint, including the removal of the defect, must be settled without delay, at the latest within 30 days from the date of the complaint, unless the Seller and the Buyer agree on a longer period. The expiry of this period in vain shall be considered a material breach of agreement and the Buyer shall have the right to withdraw from the Purchase Agreement. The moment of making a complaint is considered to be the moment when the expression of the Buyer’s will (exercising the right of defective performance) reaches the Seller.

16. The Seller shall inform the Buyer in writing of the outcome of the complaint.

17. The right of defective performance does not pertain to the Buyer if the Buyer knew before receiving the thing that the thing had a defect or if the Buyer themselves caused the defect.

18. In the case of a justified complaint, the Buyer is entitled to compensation for reasonable costs incurred in connection with the complaint. The Buyer may claim this right from the Seller within one month after the expiry of the warranty period, otherwise the court may not grant it.

19. The Buyer has the choice of how to make a complaint.

20. The rights and obligations of the contracting parties with regard to rights arising from defective performance shall be governed by Sections 1914 to 1925, 2099 to 2117, and 2161 to 2174 of the Civil Code and Act No. 634/1992 Coll., on Consumer Protection.
