A physical defect means non-conformity of the Goods with the contract. In particular, the Goods are non-conforming if:
- The Goods do not have the properties that such goods should have due to the purpose specified in the contract or resulting from the circumstances or intended use;
- The Goods do not have the properties that the Seller assured the Consumer of;
- The Goods are not suitable for the purpose the Consumer informed the Seller about when concluding the contract, and the Seller did not object to such use;
- The Goods were delivered to the Consumer incomplete.
- The Goods have a legal defect if they are owned by a third party, or if they are encumbered with a third party’s right, or if the limitation on their use or disposal arises from a decision or ruling of a competent authority; in the case of the sale of rights, the Seller is also liable for the existence of the right.
- The Seller is liable under statutory warranty for physical defects that existed at the time the risk passed to the Consumer or resulted from a cause inherent in the Goods at that time.
- The Seller is released from liability under statutory warranty if the Consumer knew about the defect at the time of concluding the contract.
- If a physical defect is discovered within one year of the delivery of the Goods, it is presumed that the defect or its cause existed at the time the risk passed to the Consumer.
- The Seller is liable under statutory warranty if a physical defect is discovered within two years from the date the Goods are delivered to the Consumer, and if the Goods purchased by the Consumer are second-hand, the Seller is liable under statutory warranty if a physical defect is discovered within one year of the date of delivery.
- The Consumer’s rights under statutory warranty include:
- Requesting a price reduction or withdrawal from the contract, unless the Seller immediately and without significant inconvenience to the Consumer replaces the defective item with one free of defects or removes the defect;
- The Consumer may instead request the replacement of the Goods with defect-free ones or the removal of the defect, unless bringing the Goods into conformity with the contract in the manner chosen by the Consumer is impossible or would involve excessive costs compared to the method proposed by the Seller. When assessing the excessiveness of costs, the value of defect-free goods, the type and significance of the defect, and the inconvenience for the Consumer are taken into account.
- A Consumer exercising statutory warranty rights must, at the Seller’s cost, deliver the defective item to the place specified in the contract, or if not specified, to the place where the item was delivered to them.
VIII. COMPLAINT HANDLING PROCEDURE
