- the goods have the characteristics agreed between the parties and, if agreed, have such characteristics as the seller or the manufacturer has described or the buyer has come to expect in view of the nature of the goods and on the basis of the advertising carried out by them,
- the goods are fit for the purpose stated by the seller for their use or for which goods of the same kind are commonly used,
- the goods correspond in quality or workmanship to the agreed sample or pattern, if the quality of workmanship has been determined according to the agreed sample or pattern,
- the goods are in the appropriate quantity, measure, or weight; and

- If the goods sold, their packaging, the instructions accompanying the goods or the advertisement state the period of time for which the goods may be used, in accordance with other legislation, the provisions on the guarantee of quality shall apply. By guaranteeing quality, the seller undertakes that the goods will be fit for their usual purpose or retain their usual characteristics for a specified period of time. If the buyer has rightfully accused the seller of a defect in the goods, neither the period for exercising rights under the defective performance nor the warranty period shall run for the period during which the buyer cannot use the defective goods.
- The provisions referred to in the preceding paragraph of the terms and conditions shall not apply to goods sold at a lower price to the defect for which the lower price was agreed, to the wear and tear of the goods caused by their normal use, in the case of second-hand goods to the defect corresponding to the degree of use or wear and tear that the goods had when taken over by the buyer, or if this results from the nature of the goods. The buyer is not entitled to the right of defective performance if he knew that the goods were defective before taking delivery of them or if the buyer himself caused the defect.
- In the event of a defect, the Buyer may submit a claim to the Seller and demand:
- exchange for new goods,
- repair of goods,
- a reasonable discount on the purchase price,
- withdrawal from the contract.
- The buyer has the right to withdraw from the contract:
- if the goods have a fundamental defect,
- if the goods cannot be effectively use because of the recurrence of the defect or defects after repair,
- in the case of a large number of defects in the goods.
- A fundamental breach of purchase contract is one of which the breaching party knew or should have known at the time of the conclusion of the contract that the other party would not have concluded the contract if it had foreseen the breach.
- In the case of a defect that constitutes an insubstantial breach of contract (regardless of whether the defect is remediable or irremediable), the buyer is entitled to the removal of the defect or a reasonable discount on the purchase price.
- If a repairable defect has occurred repeatedly after the repair (usually the third claim for the same defect or the fourth for different defects) or the goods have a greater number of defects (usually at least three defects at the same time), the buyer has the right to claim a discount on the purchase price, to replace the goods or to withdraw from the contract.
- When making a claim, the Buyer is obliged to notify the Seller of the right he has chosen. A change of choice without the Seller's consent is only possible if the Buyer has requested the repair of a defect that proves to be irremediable. If the buyer does not choose their right from a fundamental breach of contract in time, they have the same rights as in the case of a non-fundamental breach of contract.
- If repair or replacement of the goods is not possible, the buyer may demand a full refund of the purchase price upon withdrawal from the contract.
- If the Seller proves that the Buyer was aware of the defect in the goods prior to acceptance or caused it himself, the Seller is not obliged to satisfy the Buyer's claim.
- The buyer cannot claim discounted goods for the reason for which the goods are discounted.
- The Seller is obliged to accept the claim in any establishment where the acceptance of the claim is possible, possibly also in the registered office or place of business.

- The Seller or his authorized employee shall decide on the complaint immediately, in complex cases within three working days. This time limit does not include the time appropriate to the type of product or service required for a professional assessment of the defect. The complaint, including the rectification of the defect, must be dealt with immediately, at the latest within 30 days from the date of the complaint, unless the Seller agrees with the Buyer on a longer period of time. Missing this deadline shall be considered a fundamental breach of contract and the buyer shall have the right to withdraw from the purchase contract. The moment of the Buyer's expression of intent (exercise of the right from the defective performance) to the Seller shall be deemed to be the moment when the claim is made.
- The Seller shall inform the Buyer in written form of the outcome of the complaint.
- The buyer cannot exercise their right of defective performance if they knew before taking over the goods that the goods have a defect or if the buyer themselves caused the defect.
- In the event of a legitimate claim, the Buyer is entitled to compensation for the costs reasonably incurred in connection with the claim. This right may be asserted by the buyer with the seller within one month after the expiry of the warranty period, otherwise it may not be recognized by the court.
- The buyer has the choice of the method of complaint.
