The seller hereby declares, that the goods hands over to the purchaser in accordance with the provision of S. 2161 of the Civil Code, i.e.:

  • the thing has the properties stipulated by the parties, and in the absence of such a stipulation such properties which the seller or producer described, or which the buyer expected given the nature of the goods concerned and the advertising presented by the seller or producer,
  • the thing is suitable to be used for the purpose stated by the seller or to which the thing of such kind is usually used,
  • the thing’s quality or design corresponds to the agreed sample or model if such quality or design was determined on the basis of an agreed sample or model,
  • the thing has the quantity, measurement or weight, and
  • the thing meets the requirements laid down by legal regulations.

If a thing lacks the properties specified above, the purchaser may also require the supply of a new thing without defects, unless it is disproportionate to the nature of the defect, but where the defect only concerns a component part of the thing, the purchaser may only request a replacement of that component part; if it is impossible, he may withdraw from the contract. If, however, it is disproportionate to the nature of the defect, in particular where the defect can be removed without undue delay, the purchaser has the right to have the defect removed gratuitously.

Even where a defect is removable, the purchaser is entitled to have a new thing supplied or a component part replaced if he cannot use the thing properly due to the repeated occurrence of the defect after a repair or due to a larger number of defects. In this case, the purchaser shall also have the right to withdraw from the contract.

If a purchaser does not withdraw from the contract or he does not exercise his right to have a new defect-free thing supplied, its component part replaced or the thing repaired, he may require a reasonable price reduction. A purchaser also has the right to a reasonable price reduction where the seller cannot supply to him a new defect-free thing, replace a component part of the thing or repair it, as well as where the seller fails to provide for a remedy within a reasonable time or where such a remedy would cause substantial difficulties to the consumer.

It is deemed that if the defect is discovered within six months after its handover, the thing was defective already during the handover.

VII. COSTS OF COMPLAINTS

If the complaint is accepted as an authorized one, the purchaser is entitled to get back the costs related to the exercise of the complaints..

VIII. CONTRACTUAL GUARANTEE OF QUALITY

If the seller provided the guarantee of quality above its legal obligations, its exercise shall be governed by this Complaints procedure, especially if the confirmation of the duties of the seller from the defective performance (warrant card) or the contract does not state otherwise.

IX. DEFECTIVE PRODUCT LIABILITY OF THE SELLER, WHICH IS FUNDAMENTAL AND NON-FUNDAMENTAL BREACH OF THE CONTRACT

The liability of the seller for the defects, which are fundamental or non-fundamental breach of the contract, shall be used for such defects, where the guarantee of quality under art. 5 in the moment of handover is not performed, i.e. only in the case of the contractual quality guarantee. The defect is considered as a fundamental breach of the contract in case, that the purchaser would have not entered in the contract knowing about such defect in the moment of the conclusion of the contract. In all other cases, the defect shall be considered as non-fundamental breach of the contract.

Should the defect be a fundamental breach of the contract, the purchaser is authorized to choose whether he wants to deliver a new thing, a repair of the defect, appropriate discount or withdrawal from the contract.

If the defect is a non-fundamental breach of the contract, the purchase is authorized to have the thing repaired or to get an appropriate discount.

Regardless of the authorization of the claim from the quality guarantee the purchaser has never any claim for the repayment of the reasonable costs related to the application of such claims.
