  13. If the Consumer or the Entrepreneur with Consumer Rights does not install updates supplied by the Service Provider within a reasonable time, the Service Provider is not liable for non-compliance of Digital Content or a Digital Service with the contract resulting solely from the lack of updates, provided that:

The Service Provider is liable for lack of compliance with the contract of Digital Content or a Digital Service supplied continuously that occurred or became apparent during the period in which, under the contract, it was to be supplied. It is presumed that lack of compliance with the contract of Digital Content or a Digital Service occurred during that period if it became apparent during that period.

  22. If Digital Content or a Digital Service is not compliant with the contract, the Consumer or the Entrepreneur with Consumer Rights may submit a statement on price reduction or withdrawal from the contract when:
  23. The Service Provider may refuse to bring Digital Content or a Digital Service into conformity with the contract if bringing Digital Content or a Digital Service into conformity with the contract is impossible or would require excessive costs for the Service Provider.
  24. When assessing whether costs are excessive for the Service Provider, all circumstances of the case shall be taken into account, in particular the significance of lack of conformity of the Goods with the contract, the value of Goods compliant with the contract and excessive inconvenience for the Consumer or the Entrepreneur with Consumer Rights resulting from changing the method of bringing the Goods into conformity with the contract.
  25. The Service Provider brings Digital Content or a Digital Service into conformity with the contract within a reasonable time from the moment the Service Provider was informed by the Consumer or the Entrepreneur with Consumer Rights about lack of compliance with the contract, and without excessive inconvenience for the Consumer or the Entrepreneur with Consumer Rights, taking into account their nature and the purpose for which they are used.

§ 8 Statutory warranty for Entrepreneurs

  1. The Service Provider ensures Delivery of Goods free from defects. The Service Provider is liable to the Entrepreneur if the Goods have a defect.
  2. If the Goods have a defect, the Entrepreneur may:
    1. submit a statement on price reduction or withdrawal from the Sales Agreement, unless the Service Provider immediately and without excessive inconvenience to the Entrepreneur replaces defective Goods with defect-free Goods or removes the defect. This limitation does not apply if the Goods have already been replaced or repaired by the Service Provider or the Service Provider has failed to fulfil the obligation to replace the Goods with defect-free Goods or remove defects. The Entrepreneur may, instead of the defect removal proposed by the Service Provider, demand replacement of the Goods with defect-free Goods, or instead of replacement of the Goods, demand defect removal, unless bringing the item into conformity with the contract in the manner chosen by the Entrepreneur is impossible or would require excessive costs compared with the manner proposed by the Service Provider. When assessing excessive costs, the value of defect-free Goods, the type and significance of the defect found, and the inconvenience to which the Entrepreneur would be exposed by another method of satisfaction are taken into account. The Entrepreneur may not withdraw from the Sales Agreement if the defect is insignificant.
    2. demand replacement of defective Goods with defect-free Goods or removal of the defect. The Service Provider is obliged to replace defective Goods with defect-free Goods or remove the defect within a reasonable time without excessive inconvenience to the Entrepreneur. The Service Provider may refuse to satisfy the Entrepreneur’s demand if bringing the defective Goods into conformity with the Sales Agreement in the manner chosen by the Entrepreneur is impossible or, compared with the second possible manner, would require excessive costs. The Service Provider bears the costs of repair or replacement.
  3. The Service Provider is liable under statutory warranty if a physical defect is found before the end of two years from delivery of the Goods to the Entrepreneur. The claim for defect removal or replacement of the Goods with defect-free Goods becomes time-barred after one year, but this period may not end before the end of the period specified in the first sentence. Within that period, the Entrepreneur may withdraw from the Sales Agreement or submit a statement on price reduction due to a defect of the Goods. If the Entrepreneur demanded replacement of the Goods with defect-free Goods or defect removal, the period for withdrawal from the Sales Agreement or submitting a statement on price reduction begins upon the ineffective lapse of the period for replacement of the Goods or defect removal.
  4. An Entrepreneur exercising statutory warranty rights is obliged to deliver the defective item to the Service Provider’s address. The Service Provider bears the cost of delivery.
  5. All complaints related to the Goods or the performance of the Sales Agreement may be submitted by the Entrepreneur in writing to the Service Provider’s address.
