CLAIMS PROCEDURE

Goods claims are governed by the relevant provisions of the Civil Code and the Consumer Protection Act and apply to consumer goods for which the Buyer-Consumer’s rights are exercised from liability for defects during the warranty period. If a defect is found to be a significant breach of contract (based on a written assessment of the Freshlabels Claims Department or a supplier or manufacturer, if the nature of the product requires as such), these goods shall be exchanged for a new item, or the already-paid price for the goods shall be returned. In such a case postage will also be refunded against the tax document (it is sufficient to send the document together with the order number to [email protected]). The postage shall be returned in the amount corresponding to the cheapest offered method of goods delivery.
Rights and responsibilities for defects to goods do not apply in particular to cases where a defect or damage occurs:
 
- via mechanical damage to goods,
- demonstrably unlawful interference with a device, natural disaster or mechanical damage,
- electrical surges (visible burnt components or printed circuits) with the exception of  normal deviations,
- demonstrably incorrect use,
- use inconsistent with the instructions for use or the instructions specified in the package or on the goods warranty sheet,
- use contrary to generally-known usage rules,
- demonstrable use under conditions that do not correspond in their temperature, dustiness, humidity, chemical and mechanical effects of the environment directly determined by the manufacturer, or which clearly arise from the nature of the item,
- demonstrably unprofessional installation and operation,
- if the submitted warranty sheet shows clear signs of the changes made to the data or if the goods have a different production number than the number specified in the warranty sheet.
 
The seller’s liability for defects does not apply to depreciation caused by routine use, for goods sold at a lower price for a defect for which the lower price was agreed, and for used goods for a defect corresponding to the degree of depreciation that the goods had at the time of takeover by the buyer.
 
For gifts that the seller provides to the buyer free of charge as part of a purchase agreement for other paid goods, no warranty or liability for defects over and above the law can be applied. In the case of withdrawal from the purchase agreement, the buyer is obliged to return the goods that are provided as a gift in their original condition to the seller.
 
In the event of defective fulfilment, which constitutes a material breach of agreement, the buyer shall be entitled to:
 
1. removal of defects via the repair of the item
2. removal of defects via the delivery of a new item without defects, or the delivery of a missing part
3. a reasonable discount on the purchase price, or
4. withdraw from the agreement.
