7.2. 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;

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

7.3. 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.

- 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.

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.

The Buyer may not change the chosen option without the Seller’s consent.

7.12. 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.

7.13. 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:

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