Before the Buyer submits a binding purchase order, the Buyer has the right to change the type of goods in the shopping cart and the method of payment and shipping; the Buyer can also check the data entered in the purchase order or cancel the purchase order. After placing the purchase order, the Buyer is not entitled to unilaterally change it.

(a) Collection in person at the registered office of PS

The goods may be taken over only by the Buyer or the Buyer’s representative. Such a person shall provide sufficient identification (e.g. the employer’s authorisation, identity card or power of attorney).

(b) Shipping by carrier – Czech Republic

The goods may be shipped to the Buyer by a carrier. The shipping price shall be governed by the currently applicable price list of the carrier on the day the purchase order is placed. The period of delivery of the ordered goods shall be 5 days from the date of the purchase order confirmation by PS.

The goods may be shipped to the Buyer to an address in Slovakia specified by the Buyer. The shipping price shall be governed by the currently applicable price list of the carrier on the day the purchase order is placed.

If the shipment is damaged or incomplete, the Buyer shall be entitled to refuse to accept it. If the Buyer takes over the shipment, it shall be understood that the shipment is free from defects, and the Buyer may not later claim any damage or incompleteness thereof.

5.4 If PS is obliged to deliver the goods to an address specified by the Buyer, the Buyer shall take over the goods from the carrier at this address.

5.5 In the event that PS and the Buyer agree on a specific shipping method different from the terms set out above, the Buyer shall bear the risk and any additional costs associated with this method of shipping. A specific method of shipping may only be agreed upon with a Buyer who is an entrepreneur.

5.7 If the Buyer is an entrepreneur, the goods shall be deemed delivered by PS as of the moment PS hands over the goods to the first carrier and enables the Buyer to exercise the rights arising from the shipping contract with the carrier. If the Buyer is a consumer, the goods shall be deemed delivered by PS as of the moment the carrier hands over the goods to the consumer. The risk of damage to the goods shall pass to the Buyer as of the moment of the takeover of the goods. This applies even if the Buyer fails to take over the goods, despite the fact that PS has allowed the Buyer to dispose of the goods. The title to the goods shall pass to the Buyer upon the payment of the Purchase Price in full.

6. Rights of the Buyer – Consumer Arising from Defective Performance

6.1 PS shall ensure that the goods are free from defects upon their takeover by the Buyer. In particular, PS shall ensure that at the time of takeover of the goods by the Buyer:

(a) the goods have the specifications agreed between PS and the Buyer, the specifications listed in the description of the goods when there is no such agreement, or specifications expected by the Buyer with respect to the nature of the goods and on the basis of the relevant advertisements;
(b) the goods are suitable for the purpose specified by PS or for the purpose for which goods of a similar type are generally used;
(c) the goods are in adequate quantity, volume or weight; and
(d) the goods comply with applicable legislation.

6.2 If a defect becomes evident in the goods within six months of the date of takeover of the goods, it shall be understood that the defect already existed upon takeover.

6.3 The Buyer is entitled to exercise the rights arising from defective performance in the period of 24 months from the date of takeover of the goods. However, this shall not apply to the following cases:

(a) goods sold for a lower price due to a defect;

(b) ordinary wear caused by the usual usage of the goods;

(d) cases in which the impossibility to exercise the above rights arises from the nature of the goods.

6.4 The Buyer shall not be entitled to exercise any rights arising from defective performance if the Buyer knew that the goods were defective prior to their takeover or if such defects were caused by the Buyer. If the Buyer fails to duly notify any defect in the goods, the Buyer shall not be entitled to withdraw from the agreement. The period for exercising rights arising from defective goods shall be reduced to 12 months in the case of the purchase of second-hand consumer goods.

6.5 The Buyer may not withdraw from the agreement or request the delivery of new goods without defects unless the Buyer can return the goods in the condition in which the goods were originally received. This shall not apply to the following cases:

(a) the condition of the goods has changed as a result of an inspection to detect defects in the goods;
(b) the Buyer used the goods before the discovery of defects;
(c) the Buyer did not cause the impossibility of returning the goods in an unchanged condition by the Buyer’s action or omission; or
(d) the Buyer sold the goods before the discovery of defects, used the goods up or changed the goods in normal usage; in the case of the sale, use or change of a part of the goods, the Buyer shall return to PS what can be returned and shall compensate PS in the amount in which the Buyer benefited from the use of the goods.

6.6 Unless the goods have specifications laid down in Article 6.1 of these GBTC, the Buyer may request the delivery of new goods without defects if this is not disproportionate to the nature of the defect; if the defect only applies to a part of the goods, the Buyer may request the replacement of this part; if replacement is impossible, the Buyer may withdraw from the agreement. However, if the above is inadequate to the nature of the defect, especially if the defect can be removed without undue delay, the Buyer shall have the right to the free removal of the defect.

6.7 The Buyer shall also be entitled to the delivery of new goods or the replacement of a part in the case of a removable defect if the Buyer cannot use the goods properly due to a recurring defect after repair or due to a larger number of defects. In such a case, the Buyer shall also have the right to withdraw from the agreement.

6.8 If the Buyer does not choose to withdraw from the agreement or exercise their right to new goods without defects, part replacement or repair, the Buyer may request a reasonable discount. The Buyer shall also be entitled to a reasonable discount if PS cannot deliver new goods without defects, replace the defective part or repair the goods, as well as in cases in which PS fails to remedy the situation within a reasonable period of time or in which remedy would cause substantial difficulties to the Buyer.

6.9 If the goods have a defect which gives rise to obligations on the part of PS and if such goods are second-hand goods or goods sold for a lower price, the Buyer shall be entitled to a reasonable discount instead of replacement.

6.10 If the Buyer exercises their right arising from defective performance, PS shall send a confirmation in writing to the Buyer indicating the date on which the Buyer exercised this right, the execution of the repair and its duration.

6.11 In the event of exercising rights arising from defective performance (hereinafter referred to as “claims”), the Buyer may ship the claimed defective goods by a carrier to the address of the registered office of PS. The claimed goods shall be properly secured to avoid damage during shipping, and the package must be clearly labelled “CLAIM” and include: the claimed goods (including all accessories), a copy of the purchase receipt, a detailed description of the defect and sufficient contact details of the Buyer (in particular the first name and surname, return address and phone number). Without the above, the identification of the origin of the goods and the defect is impossible. If the goods have already been claimed, the Buyer shall also attach a certificate of the previous claim.

6.12 PS shall process the claim without undue delay, no later than 30 days from the date of the claim. The 30-day deadline may be extended upon agreement with the Buyer after the claim has been made, though an extension shall not be agreed upon for an indefinite or excessively long period of time. If the claim is not processed within the above agreed period, it shall be understood that the agreement has been substantially violated.

6.13 PS shall send a written confirmation to the Buyer indicating the date and content of the claim and the required method of processing the claim; the confirmation shall be sent by e-mail immediately after the receipt of the claim (if the claim is made in person, the confirmation shall be handed over immediately).

6.14 The Buyer shall be entitled to the reimbursement of necessary expenses (in particular the costs associated with the shipping of the claimed goods) that were incurred in connection with exercising legitimate rights arising from liability for defects and that were incurred truly and effectively. If the Buyer withdraws from the agreement due to defective goods, the Buyer shall also be entitled to the reimbursement of the costs associated with withdrawal.

6.15 Once the claim has been processed, PS shall send confirmation to the Buyer indicating the date and method of processing the claim, as well as the execution of the repair, duration of the claim or justification for rejecting the claim; the confirmation shall be sent by e-mail immediately after the processing of the claim (if the claimed goods are collected in person, the confirmation shall be handed over immediately).

6.16 If the claimed goods were shipped by carrier, they will be automatically returned to the address of the Buyer upon processing the claim. If the claim was made in person, PS shall contact the Buyer after processing the claim and ask the Buyer to collect the goods. When collecting the goods after the claim has been processed, the Buyer shall submit the purchase receipt under which the claimed goods were accepted. If the Buyer fails to collect the claimed goods within one month of the date as of which the claim should have been processed or within one month of the date of notification of the processed claim if the claim was processed later, PS shall be entitled to charge the amount of CZK 50 for each commenced day of storing the goods.

6.17 After processing a justified claim, the period for exercising rights arising from defective goods shall be extended by the duration of the claim. In the case of an unjustified claim, the period for exercising rights arising from defective goods shall not be extended. If the claim is settled by the replacement of goods within the statutory period, the new period for exercising rights arising from defective goods shall commence on the day the claim is processed. The duration of the claim shall be calculated from the day following the day on which the claim is made to the day on which the claim is processed, i.e. the period in which the Buyer is obliged to take over the goods.

7. Rights of the Buyer – Entrepreneur Arising from Defective Performance

7.1 If the Buyer is an entrepreneur, PS shall be responsible for any defects in the goods that exist at the moment the risk of damage passes to the Buyer. The Buyer shall notify PS of the defect within 5 business days of the day on which the Buyer was able to discover the defect through a timely inspection and adequate care. PS is obliged to remedy the defect within 30 days of the date of receipt of the defect notification, unless the Parties agree otherwise.

7.2 Other rights and obligations of the Parties in connection with defective goods not stipulated in these GBTC shall be governed by the provisions of Sections 1914-1925 and Sections 2099-2117 of the Civil Code.

PS shall refund to the Buyer all the amounts received from the Buyer under the agreement, in the same method in which PS originally received payment. PS shall refund such amounts to the Buyer within 14 days of the date of withdrawal, but not before PS receives documentation of the shipping of the goods to the address of PS from the Buyer. If the goods cannot be returned by usual carriers due to the nature of the goods, the costs associated with the return of the goods shall be borne by the Buyer.

8.4 The Buyer may not withdraw from agreements listed in Section 1837 of the Civil Code (e.g. from agreements under which the goods have been adjusted to the Buyer’s wishes).

8.5 Until the Buyer takes over the goods, PS is entitled to withdraw from the agreement at any time without giving any reason. In such a case, PS shall refund the Purchase Price to the Buyer without undue delay, in the same method in which PS received the Purchase Price.
