Accessories warranty
In which case can you exercise your accessory warranty right?
In the event of defective performance by the Seller, you may assert a warranty claim for accessories against the Seller in accordance with the rules of the Civil Code and, in the case of a consumer contract, Government Decree 373/2021 (VI.30).
What rights are you entitled to based on your warranty claim?
You can ā according to your choice ā make use of the following accessory warranty claims:
You can request a repair or replacement, unless the fulfillment of the request you choose is impossible or would involve disproportionate additional costs for the Seller compared to the fulfillment of another request.Ā If you did not, or could not, request the repair or replacement, you may request a proportional reduction of the compensation or, as a last resort, you may withdraw from the contract.
You can transfer from your selected accessory warranty right to another, but you will bear the cost of the transfer, unless it was justified or the Seller gave a reason for it. In the case of a consumer contract, it must be assumed until proven otherwise that a defect recognized within one year from the date of delivery of the goods and goods containing digital elements already existed at the time of delivery of the goods, unless this presumption is incompatible with the nature of the goods or the nature of the defect. In the case of used goods, warranty and guarantee rights differ from the general rules. In the case of used Goods, we can also speak of defective performance, however, the circumstances under which the Buyer could have expected the occurrence of certain defects must be taken into account. As a result of obsolescence, the occurrence of certain defects becomes more and more frequent, as a result of which it cannot be assumed that a used Goods can have the same quality as a newly purchased one. Based on this, the Buyer can only enforce its warranty rights with respect to defects that are beyond defects resulting from use and that arose independently of them. If the used Goods are defective and the Buyer, who is considered a Consumer, received information about this at the time of purchase, The Seller may refuse to make the goods conform to the contract if repair or replacement is impossible, or if it would result in disproportionate additional costs for the Seller, taking into account all circumstances, including the value represented by the Goods in perfect condition, as well as the gravity of the breach of contract. The consumer is also entitled ā in accordance with the severity of the breach of contract ā to request a proportionate delivery of compensation or to terminate the sales contract if the Seller did not perform the repair or replacement, or performed it but did not fulfill the following conditions in whole or in part the Seller must ensure the return of the exchanged goods at his own expense if the repair or replacement requires the removal of goods that were put into operation in accordance with the nature and purpose of the goods ā before the defect became recognisable, then the obligation to repair or replace includes the removal of the non-conforming goods and the commissioning of the replaced or repaired goods placing or bearing the costs of removal or commissioning. refused to make the goods conform to the contract a repeated performance error occurred, despite the fact that the Seller attempted to make the goods conform to the contract the performance error is so serious that it justifies an immediate price reduction or the immediate termination of the sales contract, or the Seller has not undertaken to bring the goods into conformity with the contract, or it is clear from the circumstances that the company will not bring the goods into conformity with the contract within a reasonable time frame or without significant damage to the consumerās interests.
If the consumer wishes to terminate the sales contract citing faulty performance, the Seller bears the burden of proving that the fault is insignificant.
The Consumer is entitled to withhold the remaining part of the purchase price ā depending on the severity of the breach of contract ā in whole or in part, until the Seller fulfills its obligations related to the conformity of the performance with the contract and defective performance. It is a general rule that: the Seller must ensure the return of the exchanged goods at his own expense if the repair or replacement requires the removal of goods that were put into operation in accordance with the nature and purpose of the goods ā before the defect became recognisable, then the obligation to repair or replace includes the removal of the non-conforming goods and the commissioning of the replaced or repaired goods placing or bearing the costs of removal or commissioning. The reasonable deadline for repairing or replacing the goods shall be calculated from the time when the Consumer informed the company of the defect.
The consumer must make the goods available to the company in order to complete the repair or replacement.
Delivery of compensation is proportional if its amount is equal to the difference between the value of the goods that the Consumer is entitled to in the case of contractual performance and the value of the goods actually received by the Consumer.
The Consumerās right to terminate the sales contract can be exercised with a legal statement addressed to the Seller expressing the decision to terminate.
If the defective performance affects only a specific part of the goods supplied under the sales contract, and the conditions for exercising the right to terminate the contract exist in respect of them, the Consumer may terminate the sales contract only with regard to the defective goods, but also with respect to any other goods acquired together with them. may terminate it if the Consumer cannot reasonably be expected to keep only goods that conform to the contract.
If the Consumer terminates the sales contract in its entirety or with respect to a part of the goods supplied under the sales contract, then the Consumer must return the affected goods to the Seller at the Sellerās expense and the Seller must immediately refund to the Consumer the purchase price paid for the goods concerned, as soon as he has received the goods or the certificate supporting the return of the goods.

However, please note that the contract after the two-year limitation period from its performance, you may no longer assert your accessory warranty rights.The part of the repair time during which the Buyer cannot use the Goods as intended is not included in the limitation period.

General rules of warranty rights
A Customer who is not considered a consumer may ā at his or her choice ā use the following accessory warranty claims:
You can request a repair or replacement, unless the fulfillment of the request you choose is impossible or would involve disproportionate additional costs for the Seller compared to the fulfillment of another request. If you did not or could not ask for the repair or replacement, you can request a proportional delivery of the compensation, or the Buyer can repair the defect at the Sellerās expense, or have it repaired by someone else or ā as a last resort ā withdraw from the contract. You can transfer from your selected accessory warranty right to another, but you will bear the cost of the transfer, unless it was justified or the Seller gave a reason for it. In the case of used goods, warranty and guarantee rights differ from the general rules. In the case of used Goods, we can also speak of defective performance, however, the circumstances under which the Buyer could have expected the occurrence of certain defects must be taken into account. As a result of obsolescence, the occurrence of certain defects becomes more and more frequent, as a result of which it cannot be assumed that a used Goods can have the same quality as a newly purchased one. Based on this, the Buyer can only enforce its warranty rights with respect to defects that are beyond defects resulting from use and that arose independently of them. If the used Goods are defective and the Buyer, who is considered a Consumer, received information about this at the time of purchase, In the case of buyers who are not considered consumers, the deadline for asserting the warranty right is 1 year, which starts on the day of performance (handover).
Product warranty and guarantee
The product warranty and the mandatory warranty apply only to customers who qualify as consumers. If the Seller voluntarily provides a warranty for a given Product, this will be indicated separately during the purchase of the Product. If the manufacturer provides a manufacturerās warranty for the Goods that also covers buyers who are not considered consumers, it can be enforced directly with the manufacturer.
