Rights in Case of Defective Performance
1. The seller guarantees to the buyer that the goods have no defects at the time of receipt. Specifically, the seller assures the buyer that when the goods are received:

4. The provisions above do not apply to goods sold at a lower price due to a defect for which the lower price was agreed, wear and tear from normal use, used goods for defects corresponding to the degree of use or wear and tear that the product had when received by the buyer, or if the nature of the goods dictates so.

• The goods have a significant defect,
• The item cannot be properly used due to the recurrence of a defect or defects after repair,
• There are multiple defects in the goods.
7. A significant breach of the contract is one that the breaching party knew or should have known at the time of the contract conclusion that the other party would not have entered into the contract if it had foreseen this breach.
8. In case of a defect that constitutes a minor breach of the contract (regardless of whether the defect is removable or not), the buyer has the right to have the defect removed or to receive an appropriate discount on the purchase price.
9. If a removable defect occurs repeatedly (usually the third complaint for the same defect or the fourth for different defects) or the goods have multiple defects (typically at least three defects simultaneously), the buyer has the right to demand a discount on the purchase price, exchange the goods, or terminate the contract.
10. When making a complaint, the buyer is obliged to inform the seller which right they have chosen. Changing the choice without the seller’s consent is possible only if the buyer initially requested a defect repair, which turns out to be irremovable.

11. If repair or replacement is not possible, the buyer has the right to demand a full refund upon termination of the contract.

14. The seller is obliged to accept the complaint at any store where it is possible to accept a complaint, or even at the company’s headquarters or place of business.

15. The seller or an authorized employee will decide on the complaint immediately; in complex cases, within three working days. This period does not include the time required for professional assessment of the defect. The complaint, including defect removal, must be handled promptly, no later than 30 days from the date of the complaint, unless agreed otherwise. If this period passes without resolution, it is considered a significant breach of contract, and the buyer has the right to terminate the purchase contract.
16. The seller must inform the buyer in writing about the result of the complaint.
17. The buyer is not entitled to rights for defective performance if they knew about the defect before receiving the item or caused the defect themselves.
18. In case of a valid complaint, the buyer has the right to reimbursement of reasonably incurred costs related to the complaint. This right must be claimed from the seller within one month after the warranty period has expired; otherwise, the court may not grant it.
19. The buyer has the choice of the method of complaint.
20. The rights and obligations of the contracting parties regarding rights from defective performance are governed by Sections 1914 to 1925, Sections 2099 to 2117, and Sections 2161 to 2174 of the Civil Code, and Act No. 634/1992 Coll., on consumer protection.
