If the nature of goods allows it, it is sufficient to issue a proof of purchase instead of the warranty certificate. The warranty certificate shall contain the seller’s identification (name and surname, the business name or name of the seller, its registered office or place of business), warranty’s content, its extent and conditions, the warranty period and information necessary for the application of the warranty.

We also reserve the right to cancel your order if we are unable to deliver the goods due to unavailability (sold out or offer withdrawal) or if we are completely unable to deliver the goods within the agreed time or at an agreed price, and/or if supplying the goods would cause us disproportionate difficulties and disproportionate expenses considering the value of the ordered goods, unless we agree with you on a replacement.

Warranty Claim The seller is responsible for the defects of the sold goods at its takeover by the buyer. If the defects can be removed, the buyer has a right to get it removed properly, free of charge and in a due time. The seller is obliged to remove the defects without undue delay. The buyer may demand to exchange for another product instead of demanding to remove the defects, or to exchange only a part of the product, if the defects involve only a part of it, and if it this does not incur unproportioned costs to the seller with respect to the price of goods and severity of the defect. The seller may always exchange the defective goods for goods without defects instead of a defect removal if it will not cause significant difficulties for the buyer. In case that the defect cannot be removed and prevents the proper usage of the product, the buyer shall have a right to exchange for another product or a right to withdraw from the contract. Same rights shall belong to the buyer in case that the defects can be removed, but the buyer can not properly use the item due to repeated occurrence of the defects after the repair or because of a larger number of defects. If the defects cannot be removed, the buyer shall have a right for an appropriate discount from the price of the goods. The seller is obliged to indicate the method of handling the warranty claim immediately, in complex cases within 3 working days from the day of submitting the warranty claim at latest, or in justified cases, especially when a complicated technical evaluation of the goods or service condition is needed, within 30 days from the day of submitting the warranty claim at latest. After the method of handling the warranty claim is stated, the warranty claim shall be handled immediately; in justified cases the warranty claim can be handled later, however, the handling of a warranty claim may not take longer than 30 days from the day of submitting the warranty claim. After the period for warranty claim handling expires, the consumer shall have the right to withdraw from the contract or the right for exchange for new goods. The seller is obliged to confirm the acceptance of warranty claim immediately and provides the consumer with a receipt. The receipt shall be issued at the same time as the document confirming the handling of the warranty claim at latest. The time period from the exercise of the right to liability for defects until the completion of the warranty claim procedure (handover of the repaired goods, written invitation to assume the responsibility or its justified rejection) shall not be included in the warranty period. In case of exchange for new goods, the warranty period for the new goods begins on the day of their takeover. In case the warranty claim is submitted by the consumer within 12 months from the purchase, the seller may handle the warranty claim by rejection only on the basis of an expert opinion. Regardless of the result of this expert opinion, the compensation costs for the expert’s opinion or other costs related to expert’s opinion cannot be claimed from the consumer. In case the warranty claim is submitted by the consumer after 12 months from the purchase and is rejected by the seller, the seller is obliged to indicate to whom the consumer may send the goods for an expert opinion in the document on warranty claim handling. If the goods are sent to the designated person for an expert opinion, costs of expert opinion as well as all the related costs shall be covered by the seller regardless of the result of the expert opinion. If the consumer proves with the help of the expert opinion that the seller is responsible for the defect, the warranty claim may be submitted again. The warranty period is paused while obtaining the expert opinion. The seller is obliged to pay the consumer all the costs related to obtaining the expert opinion and all the reasonably incurred costs within 14 days from the day of the warranty claim re-submission. Re-submitted warranty claim shall not be rejected. The buyer will be informed about the result of the warranty claim immediately after the completion of the warranty claim process by e-mail and at the same time, the warranty claim protocol (proof of the warranty claim handling) will be delivered to the buyer by e-mail or by registered post. The warranty claim handling document does not have to be delivered if the consumer can prove the submission of the warranty claim in a different way.

The consumer is obliged to provide their account number when filling in the online form for return and complaint of the goods to make refund possible. The buyer is entitled to a compensation of inevitable costs which originated in relation to exercising of the defect liability rights. If the consumer is not satisfied with the way in which the warranty claim has been handled by the seller, or if they believe that the seller has violated their rights, the buyer may address the seller with a request for remedy. If the seller rejects such a request or does not respond to it at all within 30 days of its submission, the consumer has the right to file a proposal for an alternative dispute resolution according to 12 of the Act No. 391/2015 Coll. on alternative resolution of consumer’s disputes and on amendment and supplementation of certain acts.
