- the goods correspond in quality or design to the agreed sample or template, if the quality or design was determined according to the agreed sample or template,
- the goods are in an appropriate quantity, measure or weight and the goods comply with the requirements of legal regulations.

If the defect becomes apparent within 12 months of acceptance, it is considered that the item was defective upon acceptance.

1. The period for exercising rights from defective performance for goods is two years, in the case of batteries, the service life is six months.
During this time, the Buyer is entitled to claim defects in the goods from the Seller, in accordance with the General Terms and Conditions, relevant legal regulations and under the following conditions set out in these procedures.

2. The seller is not liable for damage to the goods caused by incorrect installation or use or combination of the goods with other goods, if the installation instructions or instructions given by the manufacturer of the goods or the seller are violated, or if the goods are used in a manner that contradicts the nature and purposes of the goods.
3. Rights from defective performance also cannot be applied in cases where the goods were mechanically damaged after they were taken over by the buyer or there is wear and tear caused by normal use of the item or if this results from the nature of the item or if the goods were damaged by voltage fluctuations in the electrical network in which they were operated or if the goods were used in violation of the conditions of use in the documentation, in particular if they were excessively overloaded or modified by the buyer for a higher performance than the goods are standardly designed for. Rights from defective performance also do not apply to defects in the goods that arise from unprofessional interference with the goods. Removal or violation of original security and seal marks may be considered evidence of unprofessional interference with the goods.
- If the goods do not meet the quality requirements of Section 2161 of Act No. 89/2012 Coll. at the time of acceptance and for a period of 24 months from the date of acceptance, the buyer has the rights provided for in Section 2169 of Act No. 89/2012 Coll., i.e.:

If the item does not have the properties specified in Section 2161, the buyer may also demand the delivery of a new item without defects, unless this is unreasonable due to the nature of the defect, but if the defect concerns only a part of the item, the buyer may only demand the replacement of the part; if this is not possible, he may withdraw from the contract. However, if this is unreasonable due to the nature of the defect, in particular if the defect can be removed without undue delay, the buyer has the right to have the defect removed free of charge.

The buyer has the right to have a new item delivered or a replacement part replaced even in the case of a removable defect, if the item cannot be used properly due to the repeated occurrence of the defect after repair or due to a large number of defects. In such a case, the buyer also has the right to withdraw from the contract.

If the buyer does not withdraw from the contract or does not exercise the right to a new item without defects, to replace a part of it or to repair the item, he may demand a reasonable discount. The buyer has the right to a reasonable discount even if the seller cannot deliver a new item without defects, to replace a part of it or to repair the item, as well as if the seller does not remedy the defect within a reasonable time or if remedying the defect would cause the consumer considerable difficulties.

According to Section 2161, paragraph 5 of the Civil Code, the following applies: If a defect becomes apparent within one year of receipt, the item is deemed to have been defective upon receipt, unless the nature of the item or defect precludes this. This period does not run for the period during which the buyer cannot use the item, if he has rightfully pointed out the defect.

According to Section 2165, paragraph 4 NOZ If the buyer has rightfully objected to the seller, the period under paragraphs 1, 2, § 2165 NOZ does not run for the period during which the buyer cannot use the thing.

In the event that the buyer has a right under §1924 o.z. from defective performance, he is entitled to compensation for the costs reasonably incurred in exercising this right. However, if the buyer does not exercise this right to compensation within one month after the expiry of the period in which it is necessary to object to the defect, the court will not grant the right if the alienator objects that the right to compensation was not exercised in time.

X. Transfer of risk of damage to goods

In the case of a consumer, the risk of damage to the goods passes to the consumer at the moment of receipt of the goods from the carrier who delivers the goods to the consumer, or at the moment when the buyer is in default with the receipt of the goods.

2. In the event that the Seller sends the Buyer a document, expression of will or other shipment by email or by post to the address provided by the Buyer, in the event of unprovable delivery of such document, expression of will and shipment, they shall be deemed to have been delivered no later than the tenth day from the date of dispatch.
