6. RIGHTS FROM DEFECTIVE PERFORMANCE

6.2 The Seller shall be liable to the Buyer that the Goods are free from defects upon receipt. In particular, the seller is liable to the buyer that at the time the buyer took over the goods,
(a) the goods have the characteristics agreed between the parties and, in the absence of an agreement, those characteristics which the seller or the manufacturer described or which the buyer expected in view of the nature of the goods and on the basis of the advertising carried out by them,
(b) the goods are fit for the purpose for which the seller states or for which goods of that kind are usually used,
(c) the goods correspond in quality or workmanship to the agreed sample or specimen if the quality or workmanship was determined by reference to the agreed sample or specimen,
(d) the goods are in the appropriate quantity, measure or weight; and
(e) the goods comply with the requirements of the legislation.
6.3 If a defect manifests itself within 12 months of acceptance, the goods shall be deemed to have been defective upon acceptance.
6.4 The Buyer shall be entitled to exercise the right to claim for any defect that occurs in consumer goods within 24 months of receipt.
6.5 The provisions of paragraph 6.4 of the Terms and Conditions shall not apply to goods sold at a lower price to the defect for which the lower price was agreed, to the wear and tear of the goods caused by their normal use, in the case of second-hand goods to the defect corresponding to the level of use or wear and tear that the goods had when taken over by the buyer, or if this results from the nature of the goods.
6.6 If the goods do not have the characteristics specified in paragraph 6.2. of the Terms and Conditions, the Buyer is entitled to demand free removal of the defect or a reasonable discount from the purchase price. Unless this is unreasonable or disproportionate due to the nature of the defect (in particular if the defect cannot be removed without undue delay), the Buyer is entitled to demand delivery of a new item without defects or replacement of a part if the defect concerns only a part of the item. If repair or replacement is not possible, the buyer is entitled to withdraw from the contract. The buyer is also entitled to demand the replacement of the goods or to withdraw from the purchase contract if the goods are repeatedly subject to a removable defect or if the goods have a large number of defects.
6.7 The buyer is not entitled to the right of defective performance if the buyer knew that the goods were defective before taking delivery of the goods or if the buyer caused the defect himself.
6.8 If the goods have a defect for which the seller is liable, and if the goods are sold at a lower price or are second-hand goods, the buyer has the right to a reasonable discount instead of the right to exchange the goods.
6.9 In cases where the Seller does not conclude the Purchase Contract in the course of his business or where the Buyer concludes the Purchase Contract in the course of his business, the provisions of paragraphs 6.2. to 6.8. of the Terms and Conditions shall not apply. In such cases, the Seller shall be liable to the Buyer for the delivery of the goods in the agreed quantity, quality and design. If quality and workmanship are not agreed, the seller shall perform in a quality and workmanship suitable for the purpose stated in the contract; otherwise for the usual purpose. The buyer's rights arising from defective performance in such cases are based on the provisions of Sections 2099 to 2112 of the Civil Code. This means, in particular, that the buyer has the right to demand delivery of a new item without defects and the right to withdraw from the contract only if the defective performance is a material breach of contract. If the defective performance is an insubstantial breach of contract, the buyer has the right to have the defect remedied or to a reasonable discount on the purchase price.
6.10 The Buyer may also send the Seller the exercise of the rights arising from the defective performance to the address of the portal operator Arte Bohemien, Foundation, Říční 456/10, Prague 1, 118 00 or to the e-mail address of the portal operator arte@artebohemien.com.
