8.1. The rights and obligations of the Buyer and the Seller with regard to the rights from defective performance are governed by the relevant generally binding regulations (in particular the provisions of Sections 1914 to 1925, 2099 to 2117 and 2161 to 2174 of the Civil Code and Act No. 634/1992 Sb., on Consumer Protection, as amended).

8.2. The Seller is liable to the Buyer for the fact that the Product is free from defects upon its delivery. In particular, the Seller is liable to the Buyer for the fact that at the time the Buyer took delivery of the Product:

(a) it has the characteristics agreed between the parties and, in the absence of such agreement, it has the characteristics described by the Seller or the manufacturer or expected by the Buyer with regard to the nature of the Product;

(b) it is fit for the purpose for which the Seller states its use or for which a Product of this kind is normally used;

(c) it conforms in quality or workmanship, as the case may be, to the agreed sample or specimen;

(d) it is in the appropriate quantity, measure or weight;

(e) it complies with the requirements of the legislation.

8.3. The provisions set out in Article 7.2 of the Terms and Conditions shall not apply to a Product sold at a lower price due to a defect, due to wear and tear caused by its normal use, to second-hand goods due to a defect corresponding to the level of use or wear and tear that the goods had when accepted by the Buyer, or if this results from the nature of the goods. The Buyer has no right from defective performance if they knew that the thing has a defect prior to accepting it or if they caused the defect themselves.

8.4. The Buyer shall claim the rights from defective performance from the Seller in the Business Department of the National Museum, Vinohradská 1, 110 00 Prague 1, telephone: --- , mobile: --- , email: publikace@nm.cz.

8.5. In the case of a written claim, the consumer is informed of the acceptance of the claim, the manner of its handling and duration within 3 working days at the latest.

- having the defect remedied by supplying a new thing without the defect or by supplying the missing thing;

- having the defect remedied by repairing the thing;

- a reasonable discount on the purchase price;

- a withdrawal from the contract.

The Buyer shall inform the Seller of the right he has chosen when notifying them about the defect or without undue delay after notifying them about the defect. The Buyer may not change the chosen option without the Seller’s consent. This does not apply if the Buyer has requested the remedy of a defect that proves to be irreparable. If the Seller fails to remedy the defects within a reasonable period of time or if the Seller notifies the Buyer that they will not remedy the defects, the Buyer may demand a reasonable discount on the purchase price instead of remedying the defects or may withdraw from the contract. The Buyer (consumer) is entitled to a reasonable discount even if the Seller cannot deliver a new thing without defects, replace a part of the thing or repair the thing, as well as if the Seller fails to remedy the defect within a reasonable time or if it would cause significant difficulties for the consumer to remedy the defect.

8.10. If the defective performance is an insignificant breach of contract, the Buyer has the right to have the defect remedied or to a reasonable discount on the purchase price. The Seller may, at their own choosing, remedy the defect by repairing the thing or by supplying a new thing. If the Seller does not remedy the defect in time or refuses to do so, the Buyer may demand a discount on the purchase price or may withdraw from the contract. The Buyer may not change the chosen option without the Seller’s consent.

8.11. The Buyer has the right to a new thing or replacement of a part even in the case of a removable defect, if the thing cannot be used properly due to the recurrence of the defect after the repair or due to a greater number of defects. In such a case, the Buyer has also the right to withdraw from the contract.

8.12. If the Buyer did not notify the Seller about the defect in time and without undue delay after they could have discovered it with timely inspection and sufficient care, the court shall not grant them the right from defective performance. In the case of a latent defect, the same shall apply if the Seller was not notified about the defect without undue delay after the Buyer could have discovered it with sufficient care, but within two years after the handover of the thing at the latest.

8.13. The Buyer may not withdraw from the contract or demand delivery of a new thing if they cannot return the thing in the same condition as they received it (including accessories). That does not apply if:

- there has been a change in the condition as a result of an inspection to determine the defect of the thing;

- the Buyer used the thing before the defect was discovered;

- the Buyer has not caused the impossibility of returning the thing in its unaltered condition by an act or omission;

- the Buyer sold the thing before the defect was discovered, consumed it or altered the thing during its normal use; if this happened only partially, the Buyer shall return to the Seller what they can still return and shall give the Seller compensation up to the amount in which they benefited from the use of the thing.
