7.1. The parties’ rights and obligations regarding any defective performance are governed by the applicable generally binding legal regulations.

7.2. The Provider warrants to the Customer that the products or goods in question are free of any defects upon their takeover. In particular, the Provider warrants to the Customer that at the time when the Customer takes over the goods:

7.2.1. the product or service has the properties agreed by the parties, and in the absence of such an agreement, that the product or service has such properties which the Provider described or which the Customer expected given the nature of the product or goods concerned, and the advertising presented by the Provider;

7.2.2. the product or service is fit for the purpose indicated by the Provider with regard to its use, or for the purpose for which the product or service of this kind are usually used;

7.2.3. the quality or design of the product or service corresponds to the agreed sample or model if such quality or design was determined on the basis of an agreed sample or model;

7.2.4. the product or service has the corresponding quantity, measurements or weight;

7.2.5. and the product and service meet the requirements specified by the legal regulations.

7.3. To avoid any doubt, the Provider is not responsible for the use of the Provider’s opinions or advice, and more specifically, is not responsible for the result. The Provider’s products and services serve for educational purposes, and they are not intended to directly or indirectly increase the sale of the Customer’s goods or services, or influence the Customer’s business or personal growth in any way.

7.4. If a defect becomes apparent within six months of takeover, the goods are presumed to have already been defective upon takeover.

7.5. Otherwise, the Customer may exercise the right arising from a defect which occurs in consumer product or goods within twenty-four months from the takeover.  If the period for which goods may be used is specified on the goods being sold, their packaging, the user manual attached to the goods or in advertising in accordance with other legal regulations, the provisions on quality warranty shall apply.  By virtue of the quality warranty, the Provider undertakes that the goods will be fit for use for the usual purpose for a certain period of time or that they will retain the usual properties.  If the Customer justifiably reports a defect to the Provider, the period for exercising the rights based on defective performance and the warranty period do not run during the time when the Customer is unable to use the defective goods.

7.6. The provisions of Article 7 of the T&C shall not apply to any defects of goods sold at a reduced price agreed due to the defect, to any wear and tear of the goods caused by their normal use, to any defects of used goods where the defect corresponds to the degree of use and wear and tear, and the goods had the defect upon their takeover by the Customer, or where this follows from the nature of the goods.  The Customer does not have rights based on defective performance if, before the acceptance of the goods, the Customer was aware of the defect or the Customer caused the defect her/himself.

7.7. The rights following from liability for defects of the goods shall be exercised with the Provider. The Provider is obliged to issue the Customer with a written confirmation of the fact that the Customer has exercised this right, of the contents of the complaint and of the manner of resolving the complaint required by the Customer, and also a confirmation of the date and manner of resolving the complaint, including confirmation of a repair and its duration, as well as written justification for refusing the complaint, if appropriate. This duty also applies to other persons entrusted by the Provider with a repair.

7.8. The Customer shall notify the Provider of the right she/he has chosen within the report of the defect or without undue delay thereafter. The Customer may not change the choice made without the Provider’s consent; this does not apply if the Customer requested repair of a defect which proves to be irreparable.

7.9. If goods lacks the properties specified in the contract, the Customer may also request the supply of new goods without defects, unless this would be disproportionate to the nature of the defect, but where the defect only concerns a component part of the goods, the Customer may only request a replacement of that component part; if this is not possible, the Customer may withdraw from the contract. If, however, this would be disproportionate to the nature of the defect, in particular where the defect can be removed without undue delay, the Customer has the right to have the defect removed free of charge. Even where a defect is removable, the Customer is entitled to have new goods supplied or a component part replaced if the Customer cannot use the goods properly due to repeated occurrence of the defect after a repair or due to a multitude of defects. In that case, the Customer also has the right to withdraw from the contract. If the Customer does not withdraw from the contract or fails to assert her/his right to have new defect-free goods supplied, their component part replaced or the goods repaired, the Customer may request a reasonable price reduction. The Customer also has the right to a reasonable price reduction if the Provider cannot supply to the Customer new defect-free goods, replace a component part of the goods or repair them, as well as if the Provider fails to provide for a remedy within a reasonable time or where such a remedy would cause substantial difficulties to the consumer.

7.10. In cases where a removable defect is reported, the Customer is also entitled to compensation of the costs purposefully expended in exercising this right. However, if the Customer fails to assert the right to compensation within one month after the deadline for reporting the defect expired, the court will not grant that right if the Provider invokes late exercise of the right to compensation.

7.11. The Provider’s complaints policy may set out further rights and obligations of the parties related to the Provider’s liability for defects.
