2. The risk of loss or damage to the Goods passes from the Seller to the Buyer at the moment the Goods are handed over to the Buyer, or, if the Goods are entrusted to the carrier designated by the Buyer, at the moment the Goods are handed over to the carrier, regardless of who bears the transportation costs.

5. To meet the deadlines mentioned in sections 2 and 3 above, it is sufficient to send a registered letter to the Seller’s address before the deadline.
6. The Seller is liable only for legal defects and significant physical defects. Significant physical defects are considered to be internal or external defects of the Goods that cause actual difficulties in further processing and proper use.
7. The Seller’s liability under the warranty is excluded if the Buyer repairs the Goods without the Seller’s written consent, or if, before inspection and consideration of the complaint, the Buyer sells, processes part or all of the purchased Goods while being aware of their defects.
8. If a warranty claim is deemed justified, the Seller, at their discretion, is obligated to either deliver defect-free Goods at their own expense to the Buyer or reduce the price.
9. If the price, already paid by the Buyer, is reduced due to the acknowledgment of the complaint, the Seller will refund the respective part of the price to the Buyer’s bank account without interest, unless the refund was unjustifiably delayed.
10. Before the delivery of defect-free Goods by the Seller as a result of the acknowledgment of the complaint, the Buyer is obligated to return the defective Goods to the Seller (at the Seller’s expense).
The Seller’s liability under the warranty for physical defects is excluded with respect to Buyers who are not Consumers.

1. The Seller’s liability towards the Buyer, regardless of the legal basis of such liability, is limited to direct and actual damage.
2. The Seller shall not be liable towards the Buyer or any other person for any indirect or consequential damages, nor for any other damages not directly related to the event causing the damage.
