This cost represents damage incurred by the seller due to the customer’s breach of legal obligations.

7. Rights from Defective Performance

7.1 Defective Performance. This section of the GTC amends the rights and obligations in asserting rights from defective performance for the sale of goods between us as the seller and the customer as the buyer.

7.2 When to Complain About Defective Goods. You are obliged to inform us of defects in goods (complain) without undue delay after discovering the defect. Otherwise, the court will not grant you the right to defective performance. You are entitled to assert a defect that occurs in consumer goods within 24 months of receipt of these goods. This does not apply to goods where the packaging, label, instructions attached to the goods, or advertising under other legal regulations specifies a period for which the goods can be used. Here, provisions on the warranty for quality (contractual warranty) apply.

7.3 What Happens After the 24 Months? After 24 months have lapsed, you can no longer assert defects in the goods. If possible with certain goods, this period is extended for the time you could not use the goods due to legitimate complaint process. Although we strive to settle complaints to your satisfaction, certain goods require handling according to instructions on the packaging/label/instructions– otherwise, they may get damaged.

7.4 Contractual Warranty. If a voluntary contractual warranty longer than 24 months from receipt of the goods was guaranteed for certain products, you will be able to assert defects within this period. The period is extended by the time you were unable to use the goods due to legitimate complaint process.

7.5 Presumption of Defective Goods. Should a defect appear within 12 months from the receipt of goods, it is presumed that the goods were already defective at the time of receipt, unless proven otherwise.

7.6 What Defects are We Not Liable For? We are not liable for defects in the following cases:

• The defect is on the goods at the time of receipt, and a discount on the purchase price has been agreed for such defect,
• The defect arises from the goods’ wear and tear from normal use or arises from the goods’ nature,
• It is caused by you due to improper storage, improper maintenance, your intervention, or mechanical damage, all in conditions inconsistent with temperatures, dust, humidity, other environmental influences, as determined directly by us or the manufacturer (usually on the product leaflet/label), or as arises from legal regulations,
• Goods modified by the customer, and a defect arises in consequence of this modification,
• Using the goods in conditions inconsistent with temperatures, dust, humidity, chemical and mechanical environmental influences determined directly by the seller or manufacturer or arises from legal regulations,
• The defect arose as a result of an external event beyond our control (e.g., natural disaster).

We will take the goods at our cost to eliminate the defect. We will contact you to agree on the next steps.

8. Methods of Handling and Concluding Complaints

8.1 What Influences My Options. You will have the right to request the rectification of the defect. You can choose:

• Repair of the item,
• Delivery of a new item, or
• Delivery of the missing part.

Your request should not be unreasonable. If repairing the item presents significant difficulties for us or is an unreasonable request given the item’s value and defect, we will inform you. The same applies if your request to deliver a new item is unreasonable given the defect or value of the goods.

8.2 If It Constitutes a Fundamental Breach of Contract. If the defect is a fundamental breach of contract, you have the right to withdraw from the purchase agreement or request a reasonable discount on the purchase price of the goods.

8.3 When Can I Request a Purchase Price Refund? In some cases, you can withdraw from the purchase agreement and request a purchase price refund. It will not be possible if the defect in the goods is not significant. Situations where you can withdraw from the purchase agreement and request a purchase price refund include:

• We refuse to rectify the defect or have not repaired the defect within a reasonable time,
• From our declaration or otherwise, it is apparent that the defect will not be rectified within a reasonable time or without significant difficulties for the buyer,
• The defect in the goods recurs, or
• It is a fundamental breach of contract.

8.4 When Can I Request a Reasonable Discount on the Purchase Price? In some situations, you will be able to request a reasonable discount on the purchase price further. It will not be possible when the defect in the goods is not significant. Situations where you can request a reasonable discount on the purchase price include:

• We refuse to rectify the defect or have not repaired the defect within a reasonable time,
• From our declaration or otherwise, it is apparent that the defect will not be rectified within a reasonable time or without significant difficulties for the buyer,
• The defect in the goods recurs, or
• It is a fundamental breach of contract.

8.5 You Will Inform Us of the Resolution of the Complaint. You have the obligation to inform us of which right from defective performance you have chosen when notifying us of the defect or without undue delay after notifying the defect. You cannot change the chosen option without our consent; this does not apply if you request a repair of the defect that proves to be irreparable.

8.6 Returning Original Goods. When resolving a complaint by delivering new goods, you are obliged to return the originally delivered goods to us (unless agreed otherwise). The customer cannot request the delivery of new goods (and cannot withdraw from the purchase agreement) if they cannot return the goods in the state in which they received it. This does not apply if you used the goods before discovering the defect or there was a change in state when detecting the defect. Further, also if the reason for the inability to return the goods in the original state is without your fault.

8.7 When Will the Complaint Process Be Concluded? The complaint process will be concluded within 3 weeks from asserting rights from defects unless we agree otherwise.

8.8 Closing the Complaint. If the claimed goods were sent to us for a complaint via a carrier, it will be sent to your address upon resolution, along with confirmation of the date and manner of complaint resolution, including confirmation of rectification and complaint duration, or justification of complaint rejection.

8.9 Obligation When Accepting the Complained Goods. You further have an obligation to check the completeness of the complained goods upon receipt, especially that the package with the goods contains everything it should. Late objections will no longer be considered.

10. Force Majeure

10.1 What is Force Majeure. Force majeure for the purposes of these GTC is considered any obstacle arising independently of our will that prevents fulfillment of our obligation, if it cannot be reasonably expected that we would avoid, overcome, or foresee such an obstacle or its effects. The effects of exclusion of liability are limited only to the period during which the obstacle, with which these effects are associated, lasts.

11. Alternative Dispute Resolution

11.1 Out-of-Court Dispute Resolution.

12. Final Part, Including Governing Law and Jurisdiction

12.1 Commitment to Respect Consumer Rights. If any provision of these GTC conflicts with legal regulations on consumer protection, the law takes precedence and we commit to comply with it as such.

12.2 Invalid or Ineffective Provision of GTC. If any provision of the GTC is void or ineffective, or becomes void, a provision whose sense is closest to the void provision shall take its place. Invalidity or ineffectiveness of one provision does not affect the validity of other provisions.

12.3 Legal Order. In the event of an international element, we agree that our legal relationship will be governed by the legal order of the Czech Republic, excluding all conflict-of-law rules that refer to another legal order. However, this choice of law must not deprive the consumer user of protection given to them by provisions of legal order of their habitual residence. The contracting parties agree to expressly exclude the application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. According to Article 6(2) of Rome I Regulation, the mandatory provisions of law applicable would always be used without this clause.

12.4 Disputes and Jurisdiction. The contracting parties further agree that for resolving any disputes from the purchase agreement, where an international element exists, the courts locally competent according to our registered office location will always have jurisdiction. This does not affect consumers’ rights under special legal regulations.

12.5 If Different Terms for Concluding a Purchase Agreement Are Agreed. The provisions of the GTC are an integral part of the purchase agreement. Deviations from the GTC can be agreed in the purchase agreement. Deviations in the purchase agreement take precedence over the provisions of the GTC.

12.6 Necessity of Accepting GTC to Conclude a Purchase Agreement. Acceptance of these GTC is voluntary. However, without their acceptance, it is unfortunately not possible to conclude a purchase agreement.

12.7 GTC Validity. These GTC are valid from 01.01.2024 and invalidate the previous business terms.
