The Customer-consumer has the right to withdraw from the contract concluded by means of distance communication within 14 days of receipt of the goods without stating any reason. The withdrawal period shall begin on the day following the day on which the Customer-consumer receives the goods.

In order to exercise the right of withdrawal, the consumer must inform the Seller by a clear statement (e.g. a letter sent by e-mail) of their decision to withdraw, using the standard withdrawal form (download below).

The consumer is obliged to deliver the withdrawal notice and the returned goods to the following address:

If gifts are provided with the goods, the donation contract between the Seller and the Customer is made subject to the condition that if the consumer’s right of withdrawal is exercised pursuant to s. 1829 of the Civil Code, the donation contract expires and provided gifts shall be returned together with the goods subject to the warranty claim.

RIGHTS OF THE CUSTOMER FROM DEFECTIVE PERFORMANCE

The Seller guaranteed to the Customer that the item has no defects at takeover.  

The right of the Customer from defective performance stems from a defect that the item has at the handover of the goods, even if the defect occurs later. If the defect becomes apparent within six months of receipt of the goods, the item shall be deemed to have been defective at the time of receipt.

If defects of the goods occur after the receipt of the goods by the Customer during the warranty period, the Customer may assert its warranty claim.

The warranty period begins on the date of receipt of the product by the Customer. Goods are provided with a warranty period corresponding to the nature of the goods. The warranty period is stated on the product packaging; if the warranty is not stated on the product packaging, it is 24 months. The seller is liable for any defects in the product that the goods show upon receipt thereof by the Customer and which demonstrate themselves during the warranty period. The warranty does not apply to defects caused by careless or incorrect handling or normal wear and tear.

If the defective performance constitutes a material breach of the purchase contract, the Customer shall have the right:

1)      to removal of the defect by delivering a new item without defect or by supplying a missing item,

2)      to removal of the defect by repairing the item,

3)      to a reasonable discount off the purchase price; or

4)      to withdrawal from the contract.

The Customer is obliged to inform the Seller what right he/she has chosen when reporting the defect or without undue delay after the defect notification. The choice made cannot be changed by the Customer without the consent of the Seller; this does not apply if the Customer requests repair of a defect that proves to be irreparable. If the Seller fails to remedy the defects within a reasonable period of time, or if it notifies the Customer that the Seller is not to remedy the defect, the Customer may request a reasonable discount off the purchase price or to withdraw from the contract instead of having the defect removed.

If the Customer does not choose his/her right from defective performance in time, he/she has the rights that he/she would otherwise have had in the event of a minor breach of contract.

If the defective performance is a minor breach of the purchase contract, the Customer has the following rights:

If the defects are removable but reoccurring, or if there is a number of defects, the Customer may require the delivery of a new item or replacement of a component or removal of the defect or withdrawal from the contract. If the defects are removable and it is not disproportionate, the Customer may require the delivery of a new item or replacement of a component or removal of the defect. Should the requirement to deliver a new item be disproportionate, in particular if the defect is removable without undue delay, the Customer shall be entitled to have the defect remedied. He/she can always choose a reasonable discount off the purchase price instead of exercising the above rights.

The Customer cannot withdraw from the contract nor to demand the delivery of a new item if they cannot return the item in the state in which it was received. This does not apply

1)      if the condition has changed as a result of an inspection in order to detect a defect, 

2)      if the Customer used the item before the defect was discovered,

3)      if the Customer did not cause the impossibility of returning the item in an unaltered state by their own action or omission, or  

4)      if the Customer sold the item before the defect was discovered, consumed it, or changed the item in the normal use thereof; if that only happened partially, the Customer returns to the Seller what he/she can return and pays compensation to the Seller to the extent that she/he benefited from the use of the item.

Upon delivery of a new item, the Customer shall return to the Seller the item originally delivered at its expense.

The right to claim the warranty expires in the following cases, inter alia:

1)      If the warranty period for the goods subject to the claim has expired before the date of application of the warranty claim – the warranty period expired.

2)      The defect was caused by improper use of the goods.

3)      The defect was caused by failure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

4)      The defect was caused by improper installation, handling, operation, manipulation or neglect of proper care of the goods.

5)      The defect was caused by unauthorized interference with the goods or other modifications without the manufacturer’s permission.

6)      The goods were damaged by the elements.

In the case of a justified warranty claim, the Customer has the right to reimbursement of the costs of delivery of the goods subject to the claim to the Seller, in the form of postage in the necessary amount. The parties agree that the Seller will pay the  Customer reasonable costs of delivery of the goods subject to the claim to the Seller only on the basis of a tax document proving the amount of actually incurred delivery costs.

In the event of an unjustified warranty claim, the Customer shall not be entitled to reimbursement of its costs associated with the execution of the  warranty claim, nor shall the Seller be entitled to reimbursement of costs incurred by it.

This Warranty Claims Policy becomes valid and effective on November 15, 2019
