1. The seller warrants to the buyer that the goods are free from defects at the time of delivery. In particular, the seller warrants to the buyer that, at the time the buyer took delivery of the goods:
- the goods possess the characteristics agreed upon by the parties; and, in the absence of such an agreement, they possess the characteristics described by the seller or manufacturer, or those that the buyer reasonably expected given the nature of the goods and based on the seller’s or manufacturer’s advertising,
- the goods are fit for the purpose stated by the seller or for which goods of this type are normally used,
- the goods correspond in quality or design to the agreed sample or model, if the quality or design was determined on the basis of the agreed sample or model,
- the goods are in the correct quantity, measure, or weight, and they comply with legal requirements.
2. The seller’s liability for defective performance extends at least to the same extent as the manufacturer’s liability for defective performance. Otherwise, the buyer is entitled to assert a claim for a defect that arises in consumer goods within twenty-four months of receipt.
3. If the period during which the goods may be used is specified on the goods themselves, on their packaging, in the instructions accompanying the goods, or in advertising in accordance with other legal regulations, the provisions regarding the quality guarantee shall apply. By providing a quality guarantee, the seller undertakes that the goods will be fit for their usual purpose for a certain period of time or that they will retain their usual properties. If the buyer has justifiably notified the seller of a defect in the goods, the period for exercising rights arising from defective performance and the warranty period shall not run for the duration during which the buyer cannot use the defective goods.
4. The provisions set forth in the preceding paragraph of these Terms and Conditions do not apply to goods sold at a reduced price due to a defect for which the reduced price was agreed upon, to wear and tear of the goods caused by their normal use, to used goods with a defect corresponding to the degree of use or wear and tear the goods had at the time of acceptance by the buyer, or if it results from the nature of the goods. The buyer is not entitled to rights arising from defective performance if, prior to accepting the goods, the buyer knew that the goods had a defect, or if the buyer caused the defect themselves.
5. If a defect is found, the buyer may file a complaint with the seller and request:
- exchange for new merchandise,opravu zboží,
- a reasonable discount on the purchase price,
- withdraw from the contract.
6. The buyer has the right to cancel the contract:
- if the goods have a material defect,
- if the item cannot be used properly due to the recurrence of a defect or defects after repair,
- if there are a significant number of defects in the goods.
7. A material breach of contract is one of which the breaching party knew or should have known at the time the contract was concluded that the other party would not have entered into the contract had it foreseen such a breach.
8. In the case of a defect that constitutes a minor breach of contract (regardless of whether the defect is removable or irreparable), the buyer is entitled to have the defect remedied or to a reasonable reduction in the purchase price.
9. If a repairable defect recurs after repair (typically the third complaint regarding the same defect or the fourth regarding different defects) or if the goods have multiple defects (generally at least three defects at the same time), the buyer has the right to request a discount on the purchase price, a replacement of the goods, or to cancel the contract.
10. When filing a complaint, the buyer is required to inform the seller of the remedy they have chosen. Changing this choice without the seller’s consent is permitted only if the buyer requested repair of a defect that proves to be irreparable. If the buyer fails to choose their remedy for a material breach of contract in a timely manner, they have the same rights as in the case of a non-material breach of contract.
11. If the goods cannot be repaired or replaced, the buyer may request a full refund of the purchase price upon withdrawal from the contract.
12. If the seller proves that the buyer was aware of the defect in the goods prior to taking delivery or caused the defect themselves, the seller is not obligated to honor the buyer’s claim.
13. A buyer may not file a complaint regarding discounted merchandise for the reason that the merchandise is discounted.
14. The seller is required to accept a complaint at any of its business locations where complaints can be accepted, or at its headquarters or place of business. The seller is required to provide the buyer with written confirmation of when the buyer exercised their right, the content of the complaint, and the method of resolution requested by the buyer, as well as confirmation of the date and method of resolution, including confirmation of the repair and its duration, or a written explanation for the rejection of the complaint.
15. The seller or an employee authorized by the seller shall decide on the complaint immediately; in complex cases, within three business days. This period does not include the time reasonably required, depending on the type of product or service, for a professional assessment of the defect. The complaint, including the rectification of the defect, must be resolved without delay, no later than 30 days from the date the complaint was filed, unless the seller and the buyer agree on a longer period. The fruitless expiration of this period is considered a material breach of contract, and the buyer has the right to withdraw from the purchase contract. The moment the complaint is filed is considered to be the moment when the buyer’s expression of intent (exercise of the right arising from defective performance) is communicated to the seller.
16. The seller shall notify the buyer in writing of the outcome of the complaint.
17. The buyer is not entitled to remedies for defective performance if the buyer knew that the item was defective before taking delivery of it, or if the buyer caused the defect themselves.
18. In the event of a valid complaint, the buyer is entitled to reimbursement of reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the complaint. The buyer must assert this right with the seller within one month after the warranty period expires; otherwise, the court may not grant it.
19. The buyer may choose the method of filing a complaint.
20. The rights and obligations of the contracting parties regarding claims arising from defective performance are governed by Sections 1914 through 1925, Sections 2099 through 2117, and Sections 2161 through 2174 of the Civil Code and by Act No. 634/1992 Coll., on Consumer Protection.
