7.2 When to make a claim for defective goods. You must notify us of defects in the goods (make a claim) without undue delay after the defect becomes apparent. Otherwise, a court would not grant you the rights arising from defective performance. You are entitled to assert a defect that occurs in consumer goods within 24 months of accepting those goods. This does not apply to goods for which the packaging, label, instructions accompanying the goods, or advertising, in accordance with other legal regulations, states the period for which the goods may be used. The provisions on the quality guarantee (contractual warranty) shall apply in this case.
7.3 What happens after 24 months have elapsed? After the 24-month period has expired without a claim being made, it is no longer possible to assert defects in the goods. If applicable to the goods concerned, this period is extended by the time during which you could not use the goods because they were undergoing an authorized complaint procedure. Although we always try to process complaints to your satisfaction, some goods must be handled according to the instructions on the packaging/label/information leaflet—in the opposite case, they will be damaged.
7.4 Contractual warranty. If a voluntary contractual warranty longer than 24 months from acceptance of the goods was guaranteed for the goods concerned, you may assert defects in the goods during that period. The period is extended by the time during which you could not use the goods because they were undergoing an authorized complaint procedure.
7.5 Presumption that the goods are defective. If a defect becomes apparent within 12 months of acceptance of the goods, the goods are presumed to have been defective at the time of acceptance, unless we prove otherwise.
7.6 What defects are we not liable for? We are not liable to you for defects in the following cases: 7.6.1 if the goods were defective at the time of acceptance and a discount on the purchase price was agreed for such defect,
7.6.2 the defect arose due to wear and tear caused by ordinary use of the goods, or results from the nature of the goods,
7.6.3 it was caused by you and arose due to improper storage, improper maintenance, your intervention, or mechanical damage, all under conditions whose temperature, dustiness, humidity, or other environmental influences do not correspond to those specified directly by us or the manufacturer, usually in the product leaflet or on its label, or required by law,
7.6.4 the product was modified by the customer and the defect arose as a result of that modification,
7.6.5 the product was used in conditions whose temperature, dustiness, humidity, or chemical and mechanical environmental influences do not correspond to those specified directly by the seller or manufacturer, or required by law,
7.6.6 the defect was caused by an external event beyond our control, such as a natural disaster.

8.1.1 repair of the item; 8.1.2 delivery of a new item; or
8.1.3 delivery of the missing part.
This should not be an unreasonable request on your part. If repairing the item would entail considerable difficulties for us or would not be a reasonable request considering the item's value and the significance of the defect, we will inform you. We will proceed in the same way if we assess your request for delivery of a new item as unreasonable in view of the product's defect or value.
8.2 If this constitutes a material breach of the purchase contract. If the defect constitutes a material breach of the purchase contract, you will have the right to withdraw from the purchase contract or request a reasonable reduction in the purchase price of the goods.
8.3 When will it be possible to request a refund of the purchase price? In some situations, it will be possible to withdraw from the purchase contract and request a refund of the purchase price.

8.3.3 the defect in the goods occurs repeatedly; or
8.3.4 this constitutes a material breach of the purchase contract.

You cannot change your choice without our consent; this does not apply if you request a repair of a defect that proves to be irreparable.
8.6 Returning the original goods. When handling a complaint by delivering new goods, you are obliged to return the goods originally delivered to us (unless we agree otherwise). The customer cannot demand delivery of new goods (nor withdraw from the purchase contract) if they cannot return the goods in the condition in which they received them. This does not apply if you used the goods before discovering the defect or if their condition changed when the defect was discovered. This also applies if, through no fault of your own, it is not possible to return the goods in their original condition.
8.7 When will the complaint process be closed? The complaint process is closed within 3 weeks of exercising the right arising from defects, unless we agree otherwise.
8.8 Completion of the claim. The goods sent to us for a claim by the carrier will, after the claim has been processed, be automatically sent to your address together with confirmation of the date and method of processing the claim, including confirmation that the remedy has been provided and the duration of the claim, or, where applicable, the reasons for rejecting the claim.

10. Force Majeure
10.1 What constitutes force majeure. For the purposes of these GTC, force majeure means any obstacle that arose independently of our will and prevents us from fulfilling our obligation, provided that it could not reasonably be expected that we would avert, overcome, or foresee the obstacle or its consequences. The effects excluding
liability are limited only to the period during which the obstacle causing these effects persists.
11. Alternative Dispute Resolution
11.1 Out-of-court dispute resolution. The Czech Trade Inspection Authority, located at Štěpánská 567/15, 120 00 Prague 2, Company ID: 000 20 869, website: https://adr.coi.cz/cs, is responsible for out-of-court resolution of consumer disputes arising from purchase contracts.

12. Final provisions, including governing law and jurisdiction
12.1 Commitment to respect consumer rights. If any provision of these GTC conflicts with consumer protection laws, the law shall prevail, and we undertake to comply with it accordingly.
12.2 Invalid or ineffective provision of the GTC. If any provision of the GTC is invalid or ineffective, or becomes so, provisions whose meaning most closely approximates that of the invalid provision shall replace the invalid provisions. The invalidity or ineffectiveness of one provision does not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.
12.3 Governing law. In the event of an international element, we agree that our legal relationship shall be governed by the laws of the Slovak Republic, excluding all conflict-of-law provisions referring to another legal system. However, this choice of law must not deprive a consumer user of the protection afforded by the provisions of the law of the country of their habitual residence. The contracting parties expressly agree to exclude the application of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Pursuant to Article 6(2) of the Rome I Regulation, the mandatory provisions of the law that would apply in the absence of this clause shall always apply.
12.4 Disputes and jurisdiction. The contracting parties further agree that, in resolving any disputes arising from a purchase contract involving an international element, the courts having local jurisdiction shall always be the courts at our registered office. This does not affect consumers' rights under specific legislation.
12.5 If we agree on different terms for concluding the purchase contract. The provisions of the GTC form an integral part of the purchase contract. Provisions deviating from the GTC may be agreed in the purchase contract. Deviating provisions in the purchase contract take precedence over the provisions of the GTC.

12.7 Validity of the GTC. These GTC are effective from 01.01.2024 and cancel the validity of the previous terms and conditions
