The Seller is obliged to remove other defects at his discretion, either by repairing the Goods or by delivering replacement Goods.
- If the Customer, who is a Business as the buyer, requests the removal of defects in the Goods, he must specify to the Seller an additional reasonable deadline for their removal, which for the purposes of these Terms and Conditions is a minimum period of 30 working days from the date of assertion of the claim by the Customer, who is a Business as the buyer, for the repair of the Goods.

- If the Seller does not remove the defects in the Goods within the deadline resulting from point 6 of this article of the Terms and Conditions, the Customer, who is a Business as the buyer, may claim a discount from the purchase price or withdraw from the purchase agreement if he notifies the Seller of the intention to withdraw from the purchase agreement within a reasonable time before withdrawing from the purchase agreement, which for the purposes of these Terms and Conditions is 30 working days from the date of notification by the Customer, who is a Business.

Article XII. Out-of-Court Dispute Resolution
- All provisions of the contract and the Terms and Conditions shall be governed by the legal order of the Slovak Republic.
- Legal relationships of the contract and the Terms and Conditions not expressly regulated shall be governed by the provisions of the Civil Code and other applicable legal regulations of the Slovak Republic. For legal relationships arising from the contract and these Terms and Conditions, Slovak law applies even if the customer is a foreigner, foreign person, or stateless person, unless otherwise stated in the contract.
- All disputes arising from legal relationships arising from the purchase contract or related to the purchase contract, including disputes concerning validity, interpretation, and termination of the purchase contract, shall be attempted to be resolved by mutual agreement between the Customer and the Seller. If no agreement is reached, the dispute shall be finally settled by the court with jurisdiction under the Civil Procedure Code.
- If the purchase contract or these Terms and Conditions do not stipulate otherwise, all claims arising from these Terms and Conditions or the purchase contract must be asserted against the other party in writing.
Article XIII. Delivery of Documents
- Documents shall be delivered in person, by courier service, by mail, or by electronic means (email) to the agreed address, the address of the domicile of the other contracting party, or an address designated by the contracting parties for this purpose.
- Personal delivery shall be considered the personal acceptance of the document by the contracting party or the person authorized by the contracting party to accept documents.
- Documents delivered to the Customer shall be deemed delivered at the moment when (i) the Customer receives them, or (ii) when the Customer refuses to accept them, or (iii) seven days after the day when, according to the Seller's data, they enter the Customer's sphere of influence.
- Documents delivered by email shall be deemed delivered the following day after their dispatch, unless an earlier delivery date is proven.
Article XIV. Alternative Dispute Resolution
- If the customer is not satisfied with the handling of their complaint, they have the option to turn to the general court or the Slovak Trade Inspection at: Central Inspectorate of the Slovak Trade Inspection P. O. BOX 29, Bajkalská 21/A, 827 99 Bratislava.
- Consumer legislation seeks to prevent the emergence of judicial disputes. Act No. 391/2015 Coll. on alternative dispute resolution for consumer disputes and amending and supplementing certain acts introduced new options for consumers to resolve their disputes with the Seller quickly, efficiently, less formally, and above all free of charge, or with minimal costs.
- The Slovak Trade Inspection, with its registered office at the Central Inspectorate of the Slovak Trade Inspection P. O. BOX 29, Bajkalská 21/A, 827 99 Bratislava, is also a body for alternative dispute resolution.
- Under the institute of alternative dispute resolution (hereinafter also referred to as "ADR"), the customer has the right to request the Seller to remedy the handling of their complaint if they are not satisfied, or believe that their rights have been violated by the Seller. If the Seller does not respond to this request within 30 days from the date of dispatch or responds negatively, the customer may submit a proposal for initiating alternative dispute resolution (hereinafter referred to as the "proposal") to the relevant ADR entity; the option to turn to court is not affected thereby. Therefore, before resorting to alternative dispute resolution, the customer should first attempt to resolve their dispute with the Seller through direct communication, and only then can alternative resolution be sought. The list of entities authorized to resolve disputes alternatively is available on the website of the Ministry of Economy of the Slovak Republic. If multiple ADR entities are competent for alternative dispute resolution, the customer has the right to choose which one to submit the proposal to. Provisions of the contract obliging the customer to submit a proposal to a predetermined ADR entity are disregarded.
- After reviewing the proposal, the entity shall determine whether it can commence alternative proceedings or reject the proposal. Rejection shall occur if: a) the customer submits an incomplete request, b) the ADR entity is not competent to resolve the dispute, or it concerns a type of dispute that the authorized legal entity is not listed for, c) ADR proceedings have previously commenced for the matter before another ADR entity, d) a court or arbitration tribunal has already ruled on the matter, e) a mediation agreement has been concluded, f) it is an unfounded or anonymous request.
- Additionally, the entity may reject the proposal if it concerns a dispute of lower value than 20 euros, and an independent reason for rejection may also be the impossibility of resolving the dispute due to the ADR entity having to make disproportionate efforts, for example, legally complex cases requiring extensive evidence, falling within the jurisdiction of the courts by their nature. The entity is obliged to inform the customer of the rejection of the proposal.
- From the above, it follows that the main goal of alternative proceedings is to find a compromise solution for the parties involved and assist them in concluding a private agreement and thus prevent possible court disputes and increasing costs. The agreement resulting from this procedure is binding on the parties to the dispute, with the option for the parties to the dispute to turn to court in the same matter not affected.
- If it is not possible to reach a result of alternative proceedings in the form of concluding an agreement, and the entity acquires reasonable suspicion that the Seller's actions or omissions have violated the customer's rights, the proceedings shall be terminated by issuing a reasoned opinion, against which no remedy can be lodged.
- During alternative proceedings, the proposal may be postponed if: a) another authority has previously taken action on the matter, b) the matter has already been lawfully decided by a general or arbitration court, c) the parties to the dispute do not provide the necessary cooperation, d) the customer decides to terminate their participation in the proceedings, e) the matter cannot be transferred to another entity due to a breach of the impartiality principle of all persons entrusted with the management of the entity within the relevant entity, and the parties to the dispute have not simultaneously expressed written consent to continue with the entity by these individuals.
- The customer may submit a proposal for initiating proceedings through the online platform https://webgate.ec.europa.eu/odr/main/index.cfm?event=main.home.chooseLanguage.
- The provisions of this article of the Terms and Conditions do not apply to customers who are Entrepreneurs and purchase Goods for the purpose of conducting business or other gainful activities.
Article XIV. Final Provisions

Civil Code as amended by later legal regulations, Act No. 102/2014 Coll. on consumer protection in the sale of goods or provision of services under a contract concluded at a distance or a contract concluded outside the seller's premises and amending and supplementing certain laws, and Act No. 250/2007 Coll. on consumer protection and on amendments to the law of the Slovak National Council No. 372/1990 Coll. on misdemeanors as amended by later regulations shall apply to relationships not governed by these terms and conditions in the event that the Customer is a Consumer. If the Customer is an Entrepreneur, the legal relationships between the Customer, who is an Entrepreneur, and the Seller shall be governed by the provisions of Act No. 513/1991 Coll. Commercial Code as amended by later regulations.
