Rights arising from defective performance

• Seller warrants that 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,
• Seller warrants that the goods correspond in quality or condition to the agreed sample or specimen, if the quality or condition was determined by reference to an agreed sample or specimen,
• Seller warrants that the goods are in the appropriate quantity, measure or weight; and that
• the goods comply with the requirements of any appropriate legislation.

2. The seller has obligations arising from defective performance, at least to the extent to which the manufacturer's obligations arising from defective performance still apply. The Purchaser shall otherwise be entitled to exercise the right to claim for defects that occur 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 the advertising in accordance with other legal provisions, the provisions on the quality guarantee shall apply. By guaranteeing the quality, the Seller guarantees that the goods shall be fit for their usual purpose or retain their usual characteristics for a certain period of time. If the Purchaser has rightfully notified the Seller of a defect in the goods, neither the period for exercising rights under the defective performance terms, nor the warranty period shall run for the period during which the Purchaser cannot use the defective goods.
4. The provisions referred to in the previous paragraph of the Terms and Conditions shall not apply to goods sold at a lower price owing to the defect for which the lower price was agreed, in relation to the wear and tear of the goods caused by their normal use, or in the case of second-hand goods, to the defect corresponding to the level of use or wear and tear that the goods had when taken over by the Purchaser, or if the defect results from the nature of the goods. The Purchaser is not entitled to any rights arising from defective performance if they knew before taking over the goods that they were defective, or if the Purchaser himself caused the defect.
5. In the event of a defect, the Purchaser may submit a claim to the Seller and demand:

• an exchange for new goods,
• repair of the goods,
• a reasonable discount from the purchase price,
• withdrawal from the contract.

1. The Purchaser has the right to withdraw from the Contract,

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

1. A material breach of contract is a breach of contract in which the party breaching the contract already knew, or must have known at the time of the conclusion of the contract, that the other party would not have concluded the contract if they had foreseen the breach.
2. In the case of a defect which is a marginal breach of the contract (regardless of whether the defect is repairable or irreparable), the Purchaser is entitled to have the defect repaired or to a reasonable reduction in the purchase price.
3. If a repairable defect has occurred repeatedly after repair (usually the third claim 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 Purchaser has the right to claim a discount on the purchase price, to have the goods replaced or to withdraw from the contract.
4. When making a claim, the Purchaser is obliged to tell the Seller under what right s/he has made the claim. A change of choice without the Seller's consent is only possible if the Purchaser has requested the repair of a defect that proves to be irremediable. If the Purchaser fails to elect his right under a material breach of contract in time, he shall have the same rights as in the case of a marginal breach of contract.
5. If repair or replacement of the goods is not possible, the Purchaser may claim a full refund of the purchase price upon withdrawal from the contract.
6. If the Seller proves that the Purchaser knew of the defect in the goods before acceptance or caused it himself, the Seller is not obliged to satisfy the Purchaser's claim.
7. The Purchaser cannot claim for a defect in discounted goods for the very reason for which the goods are discounted.
8. The Seller is obliged to accept the claim at any establishment where the claim can be accepted, possibly also at his registered office or place of business. The Seller is obliged to issue the Purchaser with a written confirmation of when the Purchaser exercised the right to claim, what is the content of the claim and what method of settlement the Purchaser requires, as well as confirmation of the date and method of settlement of the claim, including confirmation of the repair and the duration of the repair, or written justification for the rejection of the claim.
9. The Seller or an employee authorised by him will decide on the complaint immediately, or in complex cases within three working days. This time limit does 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 Seller and Purchaser agree on a longer period. The expiry of this period within a reasonable time, without remedy, shall be considered a material breach of contract and Purchaser shall have the right to withdraw from the purchase contract. The moment when Purchaser's expression of will (exercise of the right arising from defective performance) reaches Seller shall be considered as the moment when the claim is made.
10. Seller shall inform Purchaser in writing of the outcome of the claim.
11. Purchaser shall not be entitled to any right arising from defective performance if Purchaser knew that the item had a defect before taking over the item or if Purchaser caused the defect himself.
12.  In the event of a justified claim, Purchaser shall be entitled to compensation for reasonable costs incurred in connection with the claim. Purchaser may claim this right from Seller within one month after the expiry of the warranty period, otherwise the court may not grant it.
13.  Purchaser has the choice of the claim method.
14.  The rights and obligations of the contracting parties with regard to rights arising from defective performance are 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.
