If the noted defect is not removable, or if the custom-
er becomes entitled to replacement of the product or
a part thereof, yet the replacement is not possible,
for example due to the product having been sold
out, the customer has the right to return the product
(withdrawal from the contract).
The customer shall have the right to a new product (re-
placement) or to replacement of a part of the product
even if the defect can be removed, provided they can-
not properly use the product due to repeated occur-
rence of the defect or due to a high number of such de-
fects. In such a case, the customer also has the right to
return the product (by withdrawing from the contract).
If the product is not returned (the customer does
not withdraw from the contract), or if the customer
does not apply the right to a new defect-free product
(replacement), to replacement of a part thereof or to
repair of the product, they may request a reasonable
discount. The customer also has a right to a reason-
able discount if a new defect-free product cannot
be supplied to them, or if a product part cannot be
replaced or the product repaired unless the situation
is remedied within a reasonable time limit, or if rem-
edying the situation would create major discomfort
on the part of the customer.
The seller, authorised service centre or a staff member
authorised by them must decide about each complaint
immediately or within three business days in complicat-
ed cases. This term does not include areasonable period
