Following his/her requirement, the Buyer may assert at the Seller’s a claim to have defects removed free of charge or to a reasonable discount off the price not later than within two years of the date of acceptance of the goods; unless it is proportional to the nature of the defect (especially if the defect cannot be removed without undue delay), it is possible to assert the requirement to deliver a new thing without defects or a new part without any defect if the defect relates to that part only.

If a removable defect has occurred repeatedly (a third complaint about the same defect or fourth about different defects) or if the goods have multiple defects (at least three defects at a time), the Buyer may assert the right to a discount off the purchase price, to replace the goods or to withdraw from the contract.
The Seller shall not be liable for defects occurred as a result of the common wear and tear or not following the user’s manual.
