• primarily – according to his/her choice – should be entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced (customer choice), unless the chosen remedy is impossible or would impose unreasonable additional costs on the Service Provider in comparison to the other remedy, taking into account the value of the item provided in an immaculate condition, the severity of non-compliance with the contract, and the inconvenience caused to the Customer by the implementation of the remedy concerned.
• if the Service Provider did not undertake to repair or replace the item within a reasonable period of time according to the obligation, or is unable to fulfil these obligations in the Consumer’s interest, or the Customer’s interest in repair or replacement is lost, the Customer – according to his/her choice – should be entitled to have the price proportionally reduced, the Customer or another person can repair the defect on the cost of the Service Provider or the Customer can cancel the contract.

9.1.4. The Service Provider may only be exempted from the guarantee obligation in case he proves that the cause of the defect arose after the performance.

10.1. Implied warranty 10.1.1. The Customer may enforce implied warranty claim towards the Service Provider in case of defective performance of Service Provider. In case of a consumer contract, the Customer may enforce his/her warranty claims during the two-year limitation period after the date of receipt of product(s) in the case of consumer contract, for the product defects existing at the time of the receiving the product. The Customer cannot enforce his/her implied warranty rights beyond the two-year limitation period.

10.1.2. In case of non-consumer contract, the Customer may enforce his/her warranty claims during the 1 year limitation period after the date of receiving the product.

10.1.3. Based on the right of implied warranty, the Customer should have the option of requiring the Service Provider to repair the product or to replace it unless, those remedies chosen by the Customer are impossible or would entail unreasonable additional cost compared to other remedies for the Service Provider. If the Service Provider did not offer repair or replacement, or cannot fulfil it within such deadline which is proportional to the characteristics of the product or to the purpose expected by the Customer, or if the interest ceased the Customer may also request the proportional discounting of the price, or may have the product repaired by someone else at the Service Provider’s cost, or as the last option, the Customer may cancel the contract. There are no grounds for withdrawal because of a minor defect.

 

10.1.4. The Customer may change from one implied warranty right to another, and the costs related to the change shall be paid by him/her to the Service Provider, unless the change happened due to the Service Provider or was otherwise justified.

In such case the Service Provider shall be exempt from the warranty obligation, if he proves the opposite, i.e. proves that the reason for the defect occurred after the date of the performance, i.e. after the date the product was received by the Customer.

 

In case the Service Provider can prove that the defect of the product occurred only after the date of performance, the Service Provider is not obliged to provide warranty for the Customer. However, in case of a Customer classified as consumer, the Customer is required to prove that the defect discovered by him/her existed already at the time of the performance, once the six months period from the date of performance is over. Upon completion, the risk of damage is transferred to the Customer, therefore any defects in the product occurring later due to any reason (e.g. misuse, lack of maintenance or objective, unavoidable damaging circumstances, natural wear) are not to be borne by the Service Provider. If the Customer actually acknowledges the product defect or fault at the conclusion of the contract, the Customer had to be aware of it and had to recognise it because of the nature or characteristics of the product or based on the circumstances of the contract, Provider’s defective performance can not be established.

10.1.8. The costs of the fulfilment of warranty obligation shall be borne by the Service Provider. If the defect of the product is also due to the failure of the Customer in terms of his obligations to maintain the product, the Customer is obliged to bear the costs incurred in the fulfilment of warranty obligation in proportion to his/her contribution, if he/she had a knowledge of maintenance of the product or the Service Provider complied with the obligation to provide information in this regard.

 

10.1.9. If the Customer enforces his/her warranty claim for a distinct part of the Product (which is separate from the defect indicated), the warranty claim shall not be deemed enforced for other parts of the Product.

10.2.5. The Customer, classified as consumer, can enforce his/her product warranty claim within a period of two years from the date on which the product was placed on the market by the product manufacturer. Once this time period is over, Customer looses his/her right for remedy. The Customer is obliged to inform the manufacturer about the defect without delay upon the discovery of the defect.
