II. Seller’s liability for defects

1.The guest has the right to products and services of ordinary quality.
2. The Seller is liable for defects in the service when it is provided to the Guest for a fee. In the case of a service provided for a lower price, the Seller shall not be liable for the defect for which the lower price of the service was agreed.
3. The Seller shall be liable for any defects in the goods sold upon receipt by the Guest. In the case of used goods, the Seller is not liable for defects caused by their use or wear and tear. For goods sold at a lower price, the Seller shall not be liable for the defect for which the lower price of the goods was agreed.
4. Unless the goods are perishable or used goods, the Seller shall be liable for defects that occur after the Seller has taken delivery of the goods within the warranty period (warranty).
5. The warranty period is twenty-four (24) months. If a period of use is indicated on the goods sold, their packaging or the instructions accompanying them, the warranty period shall not expire before the expiry of this period.
6. In the case of used goods, the Guest and the Seller may also agree on a shorter warranty period, but not less than twelve (12) months.
7. At the Buyer’s request, the Seller is obliged to provide a guarantee for the goods in writing (guarantee letter). If the nature of the item allows it, it is sufficient to issue a proof of purchase instead of a warranty certificate.
8. Warranty periods start from the receipt of the goods by the Guest.
9. The period from the exercise of the right of liability for defects until the time when the Guest was obliged to take over the goods after the repair was completed is not included in the warranty period.

  • If the goods are replaced, the warranty period will start again from the receipt of the new goods. The same applies if a part that has been warranted is replaced.
  • The Seller is liable for defects in the goods only if the goods were transferred to the Guest for a consideration (sold), for defects in the services only if the services were provided to the Guest for a consideration.

III. Guest’s rights under liability for defects

1 . If there is a defect in the service or a defect in the goods for which the Seller is liable and which can be remedied, the Guest has the right to have it remedied free of charge, in a timely and proper manner. The Seller is obliged to remove the defect without undue delay.

2. The Guest may demand replacement of the goods instead of removal of the defect, or if the defect concerns only a part of the goods, replacement of the part, if this does not incur disproportionate costs for the Seller in relation to the price of the goods or the severity of the defect.

3. The Seller may always replace the defective item with a faultless one instead of removing the defect, if this does not cause serious inconvenience to the Guest.

4. If there is a defect which cannot be removed and which prevents the item from being properly used as an item without defect, the Guest has the right to exchange the item or has the right to withdraw from the Contract. The same rights shall apply to the Guest if the defects are remediable, but if the Guest is unable to use the goods properly due to the recurrence of the defect after the repair or due to a greater number of defects.
