I.What product defects are we responsible for?

As the seller, we are responsible for the goods being free from defects upon receipt. This means that the goods are not defective on receipt, in particular:

• it has the characteristics that have been agreed to, that we describe or that you could have expected in the nature of the goods and on the basis of the advertisement;
• it is in the appropriate quantity, measure or weight;
• complies with the requirements of the law;
• the goods are fit for the purpose we state or for which the goods purchased are usually used;
• the goods are also considered to be defective if we supply you with goods other than those agreed between us;

it corresponds to the quality agreed between us or, where applicable, to the quality specified for the type of goods by applicable and effective law; and

it is free from legal defects, i.e. the goods are not subject to the property rights of a 3rd party and the goods are provided with the documents and papers necessary for the proper use of the goods.

Furthermore, we are responsible to consumers for ensuring that these defects do not occur within the warranty period. If you are not a consumer, you are not entitled to the legal warranty period according to Article 2. Article 2 applies only to consumers.

We do not provide any guarantee of quality beyond the statutory warranty period for consumers.

If you are an entrepreneur, only the defect that the goods had when the risk of damage to the goods passed, even if it only becomes apparent later, gives you the right of defective performance. If the defect occurs as a result of a breach of one of our obligations, you are also entitled to rights under defective performance in this case.

Differences in colour shades in reality and on electronic display devices cannot be considered as a defect in the goods. If the goods do not correspond to your expectations, you have the right to withdraw from the contract within 14 days after receiving the goods in accordance with Article 5 if you are a consumer.

If you are a consumer and the defect in the goods becomes apparent within six months of receipt, the goods shall be considered to have been defective on receipt.

1. What is the warranty period?

For unused consumer goods, the warranty period is twenty-four months from receipt of the goods, unless a longer warranty period is specified on the web interface, in the documents accompanying the goods or in the advertisement. For used goods, the warranty period is twelve months from the date of receipt of the goods.

If the goods show a date of minimum durability or, in the case of perishable goods, a period of time for which the goods may be used, the warranty period lasts until such date.

Please note that if the goods are replaced or repaired, the new goods or the replaced parts and spare parts will not be subject to a new warranty period. However, the warranty period will be extended in such a case by the period of time during which you were unable to use the goods due to the defect, i.e. in particular the period of time during which the goods were under repair.

2. What rights do you have regarding defective performance?

Your rights regarding defective performance are governed by the Civil Code, in particular Sections 2099 to 2117 and, if you are a consumer, also Sections 2165 to 2174.

3. If you are a consumer or an entrepreneur:

If the defect existed or is considered to have existed when you took delivery of the goods, you are entitled to the following rights from defective performance.

If the defect in the goods is a material breach of contract, you are entitled to the following rights from defective performance:

• remedy a defect by delivering a new item without a defect or by delivering a missing item;
• remedy a defect by repairing the item;
• a reasonable discount on the purchase price; or
• withdrawal from the contract.

In the event of a material breach of contract, please inform us at the time of notification of the defect, or without any further delay after reporting the defect, which right you have chosen from the defective performance. Please note that if you do not do so, you will only be entitled to the rights that would have been available to you in the event of a non-material breach of contract. The choice you have made can only be changed by mutual agreement with us.

If we do not remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time, you may claim a reasonable discount on the purchase price in lieu of remedying the defect, or you may withdraw from the contract.

If the defect of the goods is an insignificant breach of contract, you can claim:

• remedy the defect; or
• a reasonable discount on the purchase price.

If we do not remove the defect on time or we refuse to remove the defect, you may claim a discount on the purchase price or you may withdraw from the contract. The choice you have made can only be changed by mutual agreement with us.

Please note that as long as you do not claim your right to a discount on the purchase price or withdraw from the contract, we are entitled to supply you with the missing goods or remedy the legal defect (in particular to supply the missing documents).

You cannot request a replacement of the goods or withdrawal from the contract if you cannot return the item in the same condition as you received it. This does not apply if:

there has been a change in condition as a result of an inspection to determine the defect of the item;

• you used the item before the defect was discovered;
• you did not cause the impossibility of returning the item in its unaltered condition by an act or omission; or
• you have sold the item before the defect was discovered, consumed it or altered it in the course of normal use; if this has happened only in part, you shall return to us what you can still return and compensate us to the extent that you have benefited from the use of the item.

• there are multiple defects in the goods.

You cannot request a replacement of the goods if the replacement would be inadequate due to the nature of the defect. In such a case, you are entitled to have the defect repaired free of charge.

You are not entitled to a replacement of the goods even if only a part (component) of the goods is defective.

You may not request a replacement of the goods in the case of used goods or goods sold at a lower price. Instead, you can claim a reasonable discount.

You are not entitled to defective performance rights if:

• you knew about the defect before the receipt of the goods;
• you caused the defect; or
• the warranty period has expired.

Furthermore, the warranty and defect liability claims do not apply to:

• normal usage-related wear and tear (usage-related wear and tear includes a reduction in the capacity of batteries and accumulators);
• defects in the used item corresponding to the level of use or wear and tear the goods had at the time you took delivery of them;
• items sold at a lower price - only in relation to the defect for which the lower price was agreed; or

if the nature of the item suggests this.

6. How do I file a warranty claim?

• you will deliver the claimed goods to us (other than by cash on delivery, which we do not accept), and when sending the goods we recommend that you wrap them in suitable packaging to prevent damage or destruction;
