Rights from defective performance
- The seller is responsible to the buyer that goods do not have defects upon receipt. In particular, the seller is responsible to the buyer that at the time when the buyer received goods
- goods have properties that the parties agreed upon, and if there is no agreement, have such properties that the seller or manufacturer described or that the buyer expected with regard to the nature of goods and based on advertising conducted by them,
- goods are suitable for the purpose that the seller states for their use or for which goods of this type are usually used,
- goods correspond in quality or design to the agreed sample or template, if quality or design was determined according to the agreed sample or template,
- goods are in appropriate quantity, measure or weight and
- goods comply with requirements of legal regulations.
- The seller has obligations from defective performance at least to the extent that obligations from defective performance of the manufacturer last. The buyer is otherwise entitled to assert rights from a defect that occurs in consumer goods within twenty-four months from receipt.
- If a period during which goods can be used is stated on sold goods, on their packaging, in instructions attached to goods or in advertising in accordance with other legal regulations, provisions on quality guarantee apply. By quality guarantee, the seller undertakes that goods will be suitable for use for the usual purpose for a certain period or that they will retain usual properties. If the buyer pointed out a defect of goods to the seller rightfully, the period for asserting rights from defective performance and the warranty period do not run during the time when the buyer cannot use the defective goods.
- The provisions stated in the previous paragraph of the terms and conditions do not apply to goods sold at a lower price for a defect for which the lower price was agreed, to wear of goods caused by their usual use, for used goods to a defect corresponding to the degree of use or wear that the goods had when received by the buyer, or if it follows from the nature of goods. The buyer does not have rights from defective performance if he knew about the defect of goods before receiving them, or if the buyer caused the defect himself.
- In case of occurrence of a defect, the buyer can present a complaint to the seller and demand
- exchange for new goods,
- repair of goods,
- reasonable discount from the purchase price,
- withdrawal from the contract.
- The buyer has the right to withdraw from the contract,
- if goods have a substantial defect,
- if he cannot properly use the item due to repeated occurrence of defect or defects after repair,
- in case of a larger number of defects in goods.
- Substantial is such breach of contract that the party breaching the contract already knew or must have known when concluding the contract that the other party would not conclude the contract if it had foreseen this breach.
- For a defect that means non-substantial breach of contract (regardless of whether it is a removable or non-removable defect), the buyer has the right to removal of the defect or reasonable discount from the purchase price.
- If a removable defect occurred repeatedly after repair (usually third complaint for the same defect or fourth for different defects) or goods have a larger number of defects (usually at least three defects simultaneously), the buyer has the right to assert a demand for discount from the purchase price, exchange of goods or withdraw from the contract.
- When asserting a complaint, the buyer is obliged to inform the seller which right he chose. Change of choice without the seller's consent is possible only if the buyer requested repair of a defect that turns out to be non-removable. If the buyer does not choose his right from substantial breach of contract in time, he has the same rights as in case of non-substantial breach of contract.
- If repair or exchange of goods is not possible, based on withdrawal from the contract, the buyer can demand return of the purchase price in full amount.
- If the seller proves that the buyer knew about the defect of goods before receipt or caused it himself, the seller is not obliged to satisfy the buyer's claim.
- The buyer cannot complain about discounted goods for the reason for which the given goods are discounted.
- The seller is obliged to accept a complaint at any establishment where acceptance of complaints is possible, or also at the registered office or place of business. The seller is obliged to issue written confirmation to the buyer about when the buyer asserted the right, what is the content of the complaint and what method of complaint handling the buyer requires, as well as confirmation about the date and method of complaint handling, including confirmation about repair performed and its duration, or written justification for rejection of the complaint.
- The seller or his authorized employee decides on the complaint immediately, in complex cases within three working days. This period does not include time reasonable according to the type of product or service needed for professional assessment of the defect. The complaint including defect removal must be handled without delay, no later than within 30 days from the day of asserting the complaint, unless the seller agrees with the buyer on a longer period. Futile expiration of this period is considered substantial breach of contract and the buyer has the right to withdraw from the purchase contract. The moment of asserting the complaint is considered the moment when the buyer's expression of will (assertion of rights from defective performance) reaches the seller.
- The seller informs the buyer in writing about the result of the complaint.
- The buyer does not have rights from defective performance if the buyer knew that the item had a defect before receiving it, or if the buyer caused the defect himself.
- In case of justified complaint, the buyer has the right to compensation for purposefully incurred costs arising in connection with asserting the complaint. The buyer can assert this right with the seller within one month after expiration of the warranty period, otherwise the court may not grant it.
- The choice of complaint method belongs to the buyer.
- Rights and obligations of contracting parties regarding rights from defective performance are governed by § 1914 to 1925, § 2099 to 2117 and § 2161 to 2174 of the Civil Code and Act No. 634/1992 Coll., on consumer protection.

If the buyer does not give written consent to the seller, the seller will not use data about the buyer in any other way than for the purpose of fulfilling the contract, except for the email address to which commercial communications may be sent, as this procedure is allowed by law if not expressly refused. These communications may concern only similar or related goods and can be unsubscribed at any time in a simple way (by sending a letter, email or clicking on a link in the commercial communication).
