5.3.The Buyer may exercise the rights under liability for defects, including the right under clause 5.2., only if he has pointed out the defect within two months from the discovery of the defect, at the latest until the expiry of the period under clauses 4.1 to 4.3 of this Complaints Procedure.

VI. Statement of defect

6.1.The defect may be raised at any of the Seller's premises, with another person of whom the Seller has notified the Buyer before the conclusion of the contract or before the order is sent, or by means of remote communication at the address of the Seller's registered office or place of business or at another address of which the Seller has notified the Buyer at the conclusion of the contract or after the conclusion of the contract.

6.3.The Seller shall provide the Buyer with a written confirmation of the defect immediately after the Buyer has pointed out the defect. The Seller shall specify in the confirmation of the defect in which period of time the defect shall be removed in accordance with § 507 paragraph 1 of Act No. 40/1964 Coll., Civil Code, as amended. The period notified under the preceding sentence may not be longer than 30 days from the date of the defect, unless a longer period is justified by an objective reason beyond the control of the Seller.

VII. Removal of defects

7.1.The buyer has the right to choose to remove the defect by replacing the item or repairing the item. The Buyer may not choose a method of remedying the defect which is not possible or which would cause the Seller disproportionate costs in comparison with the other method of remedying the defect, taking into account all the circumstances, in particular the value which the item would have had without the defect, the seriousness of the defect and whether the other method of remedying the defect would cause the Buyer considerable inconvenience.

7.2.The Seller may refuse to remedy the defect if repair or replacement is not possible or would involve disproportionate costs having regard to all the circumstances, including those under clause 7.1 of the second sentence.

7.3.The Seller shall repair or replace the item within a reasonable time after the Buyer has pointed out the defect, free of charge, at the Seller's own expense and without causing serious inconvenience to the Buyer, taking into account the nature of the item and the purpose for which the Buyer has requested the item.

The costs of taking over the item shall be borne by the seller.

7.5.The Seller shall deliver the repaired item or a replacement item to the Buyer at its own expense in the same or similar manner in which the Buyer delivered the defective item to the Seller, unless the parties agree otherwise. If the Buyer fails to take possession of the item within six months of the date on which he should have taken possession of it, the Seller may sell the item. If the item is of greater value, the seller shall give the buyer prior notice of the intended sale and a reasonable additional period of time to take possession of the item. Immediately after the sale, the seller shall pay to the buyer the proceeds of the sale of the item after deducting the costs reasonably incurred by the seller in storing and selling the item, if the buyer claims a right to a share of the proceeds within a reasonable period of time specified by the seller in the notice of intended sale of the item. The seller may destroy the item at his own expense if he has failed to sell it or if the anticipated proceeds of the sale will not be sufficient to cover even the costs which the seller has reasonably incurred in keeping the item and the costs which the seller would necessarily have to incur in selling it.

7.6 In remedying a defect, the Seller shall arrange for the removal of the item and the installation of a repaired item or a replacement item if the replacement or repair requires the removal of a defective item that was installed in accordance with its nature and purpose before the defect became apparent. The Seller and the Buyer may agree that the removal of the item and the installation of the repaired or replacement item shall be arranged by the Buyer at the Seller's expense and risk.

7.7.When the defect is removed by replacing the item, the Seller shall not be entitled to compensation for damages caused by normal wear and tear of the item and to remuneration for the normal use of the item prior to its replacement.

7.9.The Buyer has the right to a reasonable discount on the purchase price or may withdraw from the purchase contract without providing an additional reasonable period of time pursuant to Section 517(1) of Act No. 40/1964 Coll. Civil Code, as amended, if

c)the seller has refused to remedy the defect pursuant to § 623(2) of Act No. 108/2024 Coll. on Consumer Protection and on Amendments and Additions to Certain Acts, as amended,

d)the item has the same defect despite the repair or replacement of the item,

e)the defect is of such a serious nature that it justifies an immediate discount on the purchase price or withdrawal from the purchase contract, or

(f)the seller has declared or it is apparent from the circumstances that he will not remedy the defect within a reasonable time or without causing serious inconvenience to the buyer.

7.10.The discount on the purchase price must be proportionate to the difference between the value of the thing sold and the value that the thing would have had if it were free from defects.

7.11.The buyer may not withdraw from the contract of sale pursuant to clause 7.9 if the buyer has contributed to the defect or if the defect is insignificant. The burden of proving that the Buyer has contributed to the defect and that the defect is insignificant shall be on the Seller.

7.12.If the contract relates to the purchase of several items, the buyer may withdraw from the contract only in relation to the defective item. He may only withdraw from the contract in relation to the other items if he cannot reasonably be expected to have an interest in keeping the other items free of the defective item.

7.13.The buyer shall, after withdrawal from the contract or part thereof, return the item to the seller at the seller's expense. The Seller shall arrange for the removal of the item which was installed in accordance with its nature and purpose before the defect became apparent. If the Seller fails to remove the item within a reasonable time, the Buyer may arrange for the removal and delivery of the item to the Seller at the Seller's expense and risk.

7.14.Upon withdrawal from the contract, the Seller shall return the purchase price to the Buyer within 14 days from the date of return of the item to the Seller or upon proof that the Buyer has sent the item to the Seller, whichever is earlier.

7.15.The Seller shall return the purchase price to the Buyer or pay the Buyer a discount on the purchase price in the same manner used by the Buyer to pay the purchase price, unless the Buyer expressly agrees to a different method of payment. All costs associated with the payment shall be borne by the Seller.

7.16.The Seller shall not be entitled to compensation for damages caused by normal wear and tear of the item and to remuneration for normal use of the item prior to withdrawal from the purchase contract.


VIII. Liability for defects in the digital performance

9.2 If the defect manifests itself within 24 months from the date on which the Customer should have taken delivery of the item, it shall be presumed to be a defect which the item already had at the time of acceptance.
