The buyer shall enclose a written document (e.g. order confirmation or complaint report) with the order number, a detailed description of the defect complained of and the buyer&#8217;s contact details. In order to prove the claim, it is necessary to attach a photo or video documentation of the defect and send it to the responsible person of the seller (contractor) without delay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the event that the buyer (customer) hands over the goods to the seller for repair\/warranty repair and the goods are not sufficiently packaged, the buyer (customer) acknowledges that the seller (contractor) shall not be liable for any defects or other damage resulting from the transport and subsequent handling of the goods (damage, deformation, scratches, breakage, loss of parts or accessories, etc.). Removal of such defects will be carried out upon approval by the buyer (customer) and then billed to the buyer (customer). This provision also applies by analogy to cases of repair of goods as separate contractual relationships, i.e. also to situations where the goods to be repaired are not the product of the seller&#8217;s (contractor&#8217;s) company and the customer (client) has ordered the repair of the goods (work) from the seller (contractor) separately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Obvious damage to the goods, their packaging or incomplete delivery upon delivery must be immediately addressed with the carrier and the irregularities must be recorded in the waybill. The buyer (customer) is not obliged to accept such goods from the carrier and shall inform the Seller without undue delay of the damage found. The buyer (customer) shall duly check the completeness of the goods and their accessories on the day of acceptance or at the earliest possible date, but no later than within 5 working days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In case of personal collection by the buyer (customer), the moment of acceptance of the goods is the moment of transfer of the risk of damage to the goods from the seller (contractor) to the buyer (customer). If the buyer (customer) does not inspect the goods upon acceptance, they can only complain about defects detectable during this inspection if they prove that these defects (e.g. missing accessories) already existed at the time of the transfer of the risk of damage to the goods. In order for the reimbursement of the actual costs reasonably incurred in connection with the claimed product (goods) to be accepted, it is necessary to specify these costs accurately, to inform the seller (contractor) of them without delay and, if necessary, to support them with proper invoices from subcontractors of necessary services, if the seller (contractor) so requests. The buyer (customer) is not automatically entitled to payment of these costs. The seller (contractor) reserves the right to first assess the complaint and determine whether the buyer is entitled to claim the goods and to determine the amount of allowable costs associated with the complaint. The right to reimbursement of the costs of the complaint is recognised for the duration of the basic warranty. In the case of an extended warranty, the buyer (customer) has the right to have the goods (product) repaired at the manufacturer&#8217;s (contractor&#8217;s) registered office, where the goods (product) will be delivered at their own expense, or to have the claimed parts delivered free of charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the case of a complaint of a larger scale (multiple defects), the seller (contractor) has the right to assess the complaint at the place of assembly before the goods are dismantled.<br><br>The amount of eligible costs related to the complaint is determined by the General Terms and Conditions or the Transport Conditions of \u017dALUZIE NEVA s.r.o.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seller&#8217;s Rights and Obligations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The seller (contractor) is responsible for the fact that the goods are free from defects when taken over by the buyer (customer), in particular that at the time of handover the goods are in accordance with the provisions of Section 2161 of the Civil Code, i.e.:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>they conform to the agreed description, type and quantity as well as quality, functionality, compatibility, interoperability and other agreed properties,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>they are fit for the purpose for which the buyer requires them and to which the seller has agreed,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>they are delivered with the agreed accessories and instructions for use, including the assembly or installation manual.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The seller is liable to the buyer &#8211; consumer that, in addition to the agreed properties:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the item is fit for the purpose for which an item of this type is normally used, also taking into account third-party rights, legal regulations, technical standards or code of conduct of the industry if there are no technical standards,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>in terms of its quantity, quality and other properties, including service life, functionality, compatibility and safety, the item corresponds to the usual properties of items of the same kind that the buyer may reasonably expected, also taking into consideration public statements made by the seller or another person in the same contractual chain, especially advertising or marking,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the item is delivered with the accessories including packaging, including the assembly manual or other instructions for use that the buyer may reasonably expect,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>in terms of its quality or design, the item corresponds to the sample or template that the seller provided to the buyer before entering into the agreement.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the buyer is a consumer, then the item shall be deemed as defective already upon acceptance if a defect occurs within one year of acceptance unless the nature of the item or defect rules it out.

A complaint about obvious defects (e.g. damage to the packaging of the goods) caused by the carrier must be made directly with the carrier upon delivery. In order to make a claim caused by the transport company, it is necessary to leave the goods at the place of delivery, including the original packaging, at the moment of discovery of the defect. Take appropriate documentation of the damage (photos, video, etc.) and ensure that a damage report is drawn up with the transport company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. <\/strong>If the buyer&#8217;s (customer&#8217;s) complaint is settled by replacing the defective goods with faultless ones, the new goods shall not be subject to a new warranty period, nor shall the time elapsing from the acknowledgement of the complaint to the moment when the buyer (customer) is obliged to take delivery of the goods be included in the warranty period.

The deadline for the removal of the defect will be set by the seller (contractor) in relation to its current operational possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> If the defect is a removable defect, the buyer (customer) may demand that the defect should be removed free of charge and properly, and the seller (contractor) shall decide whether this shall be done by repair or replacement of the item (unless this is disproportionate to the nature of the defect). If the removal of the defect is not possible, the buyer (customer) may demand a reasonable discount on the price of the item or withdraw from the contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> If the defect is a removable defect within the warranty period of already used goods, the buyer (customer) has the right to demand only free, timely and proper removal of the defect, while the seller (contractor) is obliged to remove the defect within the time limit set by it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. <\/strong>The seller (contractor) can always replace the defective item with a faultless one instead of removing the defect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5.<\/strong> In the event that the complaint is settled by replacing the goods with faultless goods, the buyer (customer) is obliged to return the faulty goods to the seller (contractor).

As a rule, such a product is considered to be one which has the same defect in the same place after at least two previous repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. <\/strong>If there are other irremovable defects that do not prevent the proper use of the product for its intended purpose, the buyer (customer) is entitled to a reasonable discount on the price.
