"Instruction on the Seller's Liability for Defects of Goods (§ 622 and 623 of the Civil Code)

If it is a defect of the goods that can be removed, the Buyer has the right to have the defect timely and properly removed for free. The Seller is obliged to promptly remove the defect.

Instead of removing the defect, the Buyer may require exchange of the goods, or, if the defect concerns only the part of the goods, replacement of the component, unless the Seller incurs unreasonable costs with respect to the price of the goods or seriousness of the defect.

The Seller may always, instead of removing defects, replace the defective item for a faultless one if it does not cause any serious problems to the Buyer.

If it is a defect of goods that cannot be removed and prevents the goods from being properly used as a non-defective item, the Buyer has the right to exchange the goods or has the right to withdraw from the Contract.

The same rights belong to the Buyer if it is a removable defect, but the Buyer cannot properly use the goods for recurrence of the defect after a repair or for several defects.

If there are other irreparable defects, the Buyer has the right to a reasonable discount on the price of the goods.

The Seller instructed the Buyer about their rights under the law § 622 of the Civil Code and the rights arising from § 623 of the Civil Code by placing these Terms and Complaint Conditions on the relevant sub-page of the Seller's e-shop, and the Buyer had been able to read them before the order was sent."
