7.1.2. the goods are suitable for the purpose for which the seller states they are intended, or for the usual purpose for goods of that type;
7.1.3. the goods match the quality or workmanship of an agreed sample or model if the quality or workmanship was determined based on such a sample or model;
7.1.4. the goods are in the correct quantity, dimensions, or weight;
7.1.5. the goods comply with legal regulations.

7.3. If a period for using the goods is stated on the goods, packaging, instructions provided with the goods, or in advertising in accordance with other legal regulations, the provisions on warranty for quality apply. By the warranty for quality, the seller undertakes that the goods will be usable for their usual purpose or will retain their usual properties for a certain period. If the buyer rightfully claims a defect, the period for exercising rights from defective performance or the warranty period does not run during the time the buyer cannot use the defective goods.
7.4. The provisions in the previous paragraph of the terms and conditions do not apply to goods sold at a lower price due to a defect for which the lower price was agreed, for wear and tear of the goods caused by normal use, or for defects corresponding to the degree of use or wear that the goods had upon receipt by the buyer for second-hand goods, or if this arises from the nature of the goods. The buyer does not have the right to defective performance if they knew about the defect before taking over the goods or if the defect was caused by the buyer.
7.5. In the event of a defect, the buyer may submit a complaint to the seller and request:
7.5.1. exchange for new goods,
7.5.2. repair of the goods,

7.5.4. withdrawal from the contract.

7.6.2. if the buyer cannot properly use the goods due to recurring defects after repair,
7.6.3. in the case of a greater number of defects on the goods.
7.7. A substantial breach of contract is such that the breaching party knew or should have known at the time of contract conclusion that the other party would not have entered into the contract if they had foreseen the breach.
7.8. In the case of a defect that constitutes an insignificant breach of contract (regardless of whether the defect is repairable or irreparable), the buyer is entitled to the removal of the defect or a reasonable discount on the purchase price.
7.9. If a repairable defect occurs repeatedly (usually after the third complaint for the same defect or the fourth for different defects) or the goods have a greater number of defects (usually at least three defects at once), the buyer has the right to request a discount on the purchase price, exchange of goods, or withdrawal from the contract.
7.10. When submitting a complaint, the buyer is obliged to inform the seller of the right they have chosen. Changing the choice without the seller’s consent is only possible if the buyer requests a repair of a defect that later proves to be irreparable. If the buyer does not choose their right in time for a substantial breach of contract, they have the same rights as for an insignificant breach of contract.
7.11. If a repair or exchange of goods is not possible, the buyer may demand a full refund based on withdrawal from the contract.
7.12. If the seller proves that the buyer knew about the defect before taking over the goods or caused the defect themselves, the seller is not obligated to fulfil the buyer’s claim.
7.13. The buyer cannot complain about discounted goods for the reason for which the goods were discounted.
7.14. The seller is obliged to accept the complaint in the manner specified in these terms and conditions. The seller must issue the buyer written confirmation of when the buyer exercised the right, what the complaint contains, and the resolution method the buyer is requesting, as well as confirmation of the date and method of complaint resolution, including confirmation of repair and its duration, or a written justification for rejecting the complaint.
7.15. The seller or their authorized employee must decide on the complaint immediately, in complex cases within three business days. This period does not include a reasonable time needed to assess the defect based on the type of product or service. Complaints, including the removal of defects, must be resolved promptly, no later than 30 days from the date of the complaint, unless the seller agrees with the buyer on a longer period. Failure to meet this deadline is considered a substantial breach of contract, and the buyer has the right to withdraw from the contract. The moment the buyer's intention (exercise of the right from defective performance) reaches the seller is considered the moment the complaint is filed.
7.16. The seller will inform the buyer in writing of the result of the complaint.
7.17. The buyer is not entitled to defective performance if they knew about the defect before taking over the goods or caused the defect themselves.
7.18. In the case of a justified complaint, the buyer has the right to reimbursement of reasonably incurred costs related to the complaint. The buyer can assert this right with the seller within one month after the warranty period expires; otherwise, the court may not grant it.
7.19. The buyer has the right to choose the complaint method.
7.20. The rights and obligations of the parties regarding defective performance are governed by Sections 1914 to 1925, 2099 to 2117, and 2161 to 2174 of the Civil Code and Act No. 634/1992 Coll., on consumer protection.

Unless the buyer gives the seller written consent, the seller will not use the buyer’s data for purposes other than fulfilling the contract, except for the email address, which may be used for sending commercial communications, as permitted by law, unless explicitly declined. These communications will only concern similar or related goods and can be unsubscribed from at any time in a simple manner (by sending a letter, an email, or clicking on a link in the commercial communication).
