Return policy

• The buyer must visually inspect the goods immediately upon and after delivery of the goods. The buyer has the right not to accept the goods if there is visible mechanical damage on them, clearly caused by shipping or if the goods are incomplete. In such a case, the buyer is obliged to write a damage report with the delivery person or refuse to accept the shipment.
• The warranty period of the goods is 24 months.
• If the goods have defects, the buyer must notify the seller within two months of discovering the defects, at the latest by the end of the warranty period. 
• The buyer has the right to choose to remove the defect by replacing the item or repairing the item. The buyer cannot choose a method of removing the defect that is not possible or that, compared to an alternative method of removing the defect, would cause the seller disproportionate costs, taking into account all the circumstances, especially the value the item had without the defect, the severity of the defect and the possibility that another method of removing the defect would cause significant difficulties for the buyer.
• The seller can refuse the removal of the defect if the repair or replacement is not possible or if it would require unreasonable costs taking into account all the circumstances, including the circumstances mentioned above.
• The seller will repair or replace the itemwithin a reasonable period of time after the buyer complained about the defect, free of charge, at his own expense and without causing serious difficulties to the buyer, taking into account the state of the item and the purpose for which the buyer requested the item.
• For the purpose of repair or replacement, the buyer hands over or makes the item available to the seller or a person authorized by the seller. The shipping costs for returning the item are at seller's expense.
• The seller will deliver the repaired item or a replacement item to the buyer at his own expense in the same or a similar way in which the buyer delivered the defective item, unless the parties agree otherwise.
• If the buyer will not pick up the item within six months from the day it was supposed to be taken back, the seller can sell the item. If the item is of a greater value, the seller will notify the buyer in advance of the intended sale and provide a reasonable additional period of time to pick up the item. Immediately after the sale, the seller will pay the buyer the proceeds from the sale of the item, after deducting the costs spent on its storage and sale, if the buyer exercises the right to a share of the proceeds within a reasonable period specified by the seller in the notification of the intended sale of the item. The seller can destroy the item at his own expense if it was not possible to sell it or if the expected proceeds from the sale wound not be sufficient to cover the costs the seller spent on storing the item and the costs the seller would have to spend on its sale.
• The buyer has the right to a reasonable discount from the purchase price or can withdraw from the purchase contract even without an additional reasonable period of time during the return proceedings if:
  • - the seller did not repair or replace the item,
  • - the seller refused to remove the defect
  • - the item has the same defect despite the repair or replacement of the item
  • - the defect is of such a serious nature that it justifies an immediate discount from the purchase price or withdrawal from the purchase contract, or
  • - the seller has declared or it is clear from the circumstances that he will not remove the defect within a reasonable period of time or without causing serious difficulties for the buyer.
• When assessing the buyer's right to a discount from the purchase price or withdrawal from the purchase contract, all circumstances are taken into account, especially the type and value of the item, the nature and severity of the defect and the possibility of objectively asking the buyer to trust the seller's ability to remove the defect. The discount from the purchase price must be proportionate to the difference between the value of the item when it was sold and the value that the item would have if it had no defects.
• The buyer cannot withdraw from the purchase contract if the buyer caused the defect or if the defect is negligible (does not seriously affect the functionality of the item). The seller bears the burden of proof that the buyer participated in the cause of the defect or that the defect is negligible.
• If the contract covers the purchase of more than one item, the buyer may withdraw from the contract only in relation to the defective item. In relation to other items, the withdrawal from the contract can be made only if it cannot be reasonably expected that the buyer will be interested in keeping the other items without the defective item.
• After withdrawing from the contract or part of it, the buyer returns the item to the seller at the seller's expense. The seller will provide removal of the item that was installed in accordance to its intended use and purpose before the defect became apparent. If the seller does not remove the item within a reasonable period of time, the buyer can ensure the removal and delivery of the item to the seller at the seller's expense and risk.
• After withdrawal from the contract, the seller will return the purchase price to the buyer no later than 14 days from the day of returning the item to the seller or after proving that the buyer has sent the item to the seller, whichever occurs first.

• The seller shall provide the buyer with a written confirmation of the defect immediately after the defect has been pointed out by the buyer. In the confirmation of the defect, the seller shall state the deadline in which the defect will be removed. The period of time for the deadline may be no longer than 30 days from the day the defect was reported, if a longer period is not justified by an objective reason that is beyond the seller's control.
