If the claimed goods are handed over by the Buyer without the original packaging or replacement packaging or if the packaging is inadequate, the Seller does not assume liability for any damage to the goods caused by the improper packaging. In such a case, the Seller also cannot be liable for the defects for which the Buyer raised the claim. Prior to the delivery of the goods, the Buyer is obliged to notify the Seller of the time and method of delivery of the goods.

In justified cases, the Seller is entitled to extend the deadline for settling the claim on the basis of a unilateral notice addressed to the Buyer. The Seller is entitled to condition the settlement of the Buyer's claim by payment of the shipping costs incurred by the Seller in connection with the transport of the claimed goods.

b) The Buyer did not report the defects discovered during the takeover of the goods or immediately afterwards;
c) The warranty period expired;

If the rectification cannot be made by way of replacement of the goods, the Buyer can either ask the Seller for a reasonable discount on the purchase price for the goods or he/she may withdraw from the Purchase Contract.

11. In the event that the goods are defective, the Buyer is entitled to free removal of the defect, an appropriate reduction in the purchase price, replacement of the goods or he/she can withdraw from the Purchase Contract in the following order:

a) If the defect can be rectified, the Seller shall ensure free repair of the goods. Depending on the nature of the defect, the Seller may provide a replacement part to the Buyer. The replacement part shall be delivered by the Seller to the Buyer together with instructions for replacement of the defective part with the replacement;

b) If the defect cannot be removed by repair and at the same time the defect as such does not prevent normal use of the goods, the Seller shall provide the Buyer with a reasonable discount on the purchase price of the goods. If the Buyer accepts the offer for a reasonable discount on the purchase price of the goods, he/she shall not be able to claim the respective defect again;

c) If the defect cannot be removed and at the same time it is a defect that prevents the object from being properly used, the Seller shall provide the Buyer with the opportunity to exchange the goods. If the same goods are no longer available, the Seller may provide – as a replacement – goods with the same or similar characteristics. The right to exchange the goods arises to the Buyer only if it is not unreasonable in relation to the nature of the defect. The reasonableness shall be assessed by the Seller;

d) If the defects of the goods are of such a nature that the delivery of the defective goods caused a substantial breach of the Purchase Contract, the Buyer is entitled to withdraw from the Purchase Contract. A substantial breach of the Purchase Contract occurs when – at the time of the conclusion of the Purchase Contract – the Seller knew or could reasonably foresee with regard to its purpose resulting from its content or from circumstances under which the Purchase Contract was concluded, that the Buyer would not be interested – under such a breach – in the fulfilment of the respective obligations. In case of any doubt, it is assumed that a breach of the contract is not substantial.
