§ 11

Complaints and returns

For Agreements concluded with Consumers, the Seller shall be liable to the Consumer under the terms of Article 556 et seq. of the Civil Code for physical or legal defects (implied warranty for defects).

The Seller shall be liable under implied warranty if a physical defect is discovered before the expiry of two years from the time the item is handed over to the Consumer and, if the object of the sale is a used item, before the expiry of one year from the time the item is handed over to the Consumer.

The Consumer's claim for rectification of a defect or replacement of a sold item with a defect-free item shall expire one year from the date on which the defect was discovered, but not before two years have passed from the time the item was handed over to the Consumer, and if the object of sale is a used item not before one year has passed from the time the item was handed over to the Consumer.

For Agreements concluded with a Consumer, if a physical defect is discovered before the expiry of one year from the delivery of the item, the defect shall be deemed to have existed at the time when the danger passed to the Consumer.

Physical defect entails non-compliance of the sold item with the Agreement. In particular the sold item is not in accordance with the Agreement if:

a) does not have the properties which such an item ought to have considering the purpose specified in the Agreement or resulting from circumstances or designation;

b) does not have properties the existence of which was communicated to the Buyer by the Seller, including by presenting a sample or a template;

c) it is not fit for the purpose which the Buyer communicated to the Seller at the time of concluding the Agreement, and the Seller did not object to such a purpose;

d) was provided to the Buyer incomplete.

If the Product is found to have a defect, the Consumer may:

a) submit a price reduction request;

b) submit a declaration on withdrawing from the Agreement;

c) demand the product to be replaced with one free of defects;

d) demand the defect to be the rectified.

The Customer may not withdraw from the Agreement if the defect is minor.

A Consumer exercising their implied warranty rights is obliged to deliver the faulty item at the Seller's expense to: watches4u 31-752 Kraków, ul. Makuszyńskiego 22/U1.

The Seller recommends that a description of the Product's non-conformity with the Agreement be included to facilitate the complaint process.

The Seller shall respond to the Consumer's request within 14 (fourteen) calendar days. Otherwise, the Seller shall be deemed to have acknowledged the Consumer's declaration or demand as justified.

If the Consumer is demanding according to para. 5 letter a or b, the Seller may replace the defective item with a defect-free one or remove the defect, provided that this will be done immediately and without undue inconvenience for the Consumer.

If, however, the item has already been replaced or repaired by the Seller, or the Seller has failed to comply with their obligation to replace the item with a defect-free item or to remove the defect, they shall not be entitled to replace the item or remove the defect.

The Consumer may, instead of rectification of the defect proposed by the Seller, demand a replacement of the item with a defect-free item or, instead of the replacement, demand a rectification of the defect, unless bringing the item to conformity with the Agreement in a manner chosen by the Consumer is impossible or would require excessive costs in comparison with the manner proposed by the Seller, while assessing the excessive costs, the value of a defect-free item, as well as type and significance of the defect are taken into account. Attention is also paid to the inconvenience to which the Consumer would be exposed if the claim was satisfied in a different manner.

The Seller may refuse to satisfy the Consumer's demand if bringing the defective item into conformity with the Agreement in the manner chosen by the Consumer is impossible or, in comparison with the other possible manner of bringing the item into conformity with the Agreement, requires unreasonable costs.

In the event of a price discount, the discounted price shall be in such proportion to the Agreement price as the value of the item with the defect remains to the value of the item without the defect.

The Seller is obliged to replace the defective item with a defect-free one or to remove the defect within a reasonable time without undue inconvenience for the Consumer.

For Agreements concluded with Customers who are not also Consumers, the Seller's liability under implied warranty for defects is excluded pursuant to Article 558 § 1 of the Civil Code.

The Seller informs the Customer, who is a Consumer within the meaning of Article 221 of the Civil Code, about the possibility of using out-of-court ways of dealing with complaints about the Products, inter alia, by submitting an application for mediation or an application for consideration of the case before an arbitration court by the Customer at the end of the complaint procedure (the application can be downloaded at http://www.uokik.gov.pl/download.php?plik=6223).
