7.1 Defective performance. This part of the VOP applies to the regulation of rights and obligations when rights to defective performance are asserted in the sale of goods between us as the seller and the customer as the buyer.
7.2 When to report defective goods. You must notify us of defects in the goods (submit a claim) without undue delay after the defect has appeared. Otherwise, a court will not grant you the right to defective performance. You are entitled to assert a defect that occurs in consumer goods within 24 months of receiving those goods. This rule does not apply to goods for which, in accordance with other legislation, the period during which the goods may be used is stated on the packaging, label, enclosed instructions, or in an advertisement. The rules on a quality guarantee (contractual warranty) apply here.
7.3 What happens after 24 months? After the 24-month period ends, defects in the goods can no longer be asserted. Where applicable to the relevant goods, this period is extended by the time during which you were unable to use the goods because they were undergoing a justified claims process. Even though we always try to handle complaints to your satisfaction, some goods must be handled in accordance with the instructions stated on the packaging/label/information sheet - otherwise they may be damaged.
7.4 Contractual warranty. If the relevant goods are covered by a voluntary contractual warranty lasting longer than 24 months from receipt of the goods, you may assert defects in the goods during that period. The period is extended by the time during which you were unable to use the goods because they were undergoing a justified claims process.
7.5 Presumption that the goods are defective. If a defect becomes apparent within 12 months of receiving the goods, the goods are presumed to have been defective at the time of receipt unless we can prove otherwise.
7.6 Which defects are we not liable for? We are not liable to you for defects in the following cases: 7.6.1 if the defect was present in the products at the time of acceptance and a discount from the purchase price was specified for such defect,
7.6.2 if the defect arose due to wear and tear caused by normal use or results from the nature of the products,
7.6.3 if it was caused by you and arose due to improper storage, improper maintenance, your intervention, or mechanical damage, all under conditions that do not comply with the temperature, dust, humidity, or other environmental factors specified directly by us or the manufacturer (usually on the accompanying information sheet/product label), or arising from legislation,
7.6.4 the products were customized for the customer and the defect arose as a result of this customization,
7.6.5 the products were used in conditions that do not comply with the temperature, dust, humidity, chemical, and mechanical environmental factors specified directly by the seller or manufacturer or arising from legislation,

The products must be returned in full and undamaged (except for the reported defect), ideally in their original, undamaged packaging, so that we can comply with proper hygiene procedures.

8. Methods for reviewing and resolving complaints
8.1 What will affect my options. You will have the right to request remedy of the defect. Depending on your choice, you may choose:
8.1.1 repair of the product; 8.1.2 delivery of a new product; or
8.1.3 delivery of the missing part.
Your request should not be unreasonable. If repairing the goods would cause us significant difficulties or the request would not be reasonable in relation to the value of the goods and the significance of the defect, we will inform you. We will act likewise if we assess your request for delivery of new goods as unreasonable in relation to the defect or value of the goods.
8.2 If it constitutes a material breach of the purchase agreement. If the defect constitutes a material breach of the purchase agreement, you will have the right to withdraw from the purchase agreement or request a reasonable reduction in the purchase price of the goods.
8.3 When will it be possible to request a refund of the purchase price? In some situations, it will be possible to withdraw from the purchase agreement and request a refund of the purchase price. This will not be possible where the defect in the goods is not material. In which situations can you withdraw from the purchase agreement and request a refund of the purchase price:
8.3.1 we refuse to remedy the defect in the goods or have not remedied it within a reasonable period;
8.3.2 it is clear from our statement or other circumstances that the defect will not be remedied within a reasonable time or without significant inconvenience to the buyer;
8.3.3 the defect in the goods recurs; or
8.3.4 it constitutes a material breach of the purchase agreement.
8.4 When else will it be possible to request a reasonable reduction in the purchase price? In some situations, you may request a reasonable reduction in the purchase price. This will not be possible where the defect in the goods is not material. What situations will allow you to request a reasonable reduction in the purchase price?

8.4.2 it is clear from our statement or other circumstances that the defect will not be remedied within a reasonable time or without significant inconvenience to the buyer;
8.4.3 the defect in the goods recurs; or
8.4.4 it constitutes a material breach of the purchase agreement.
8.5 You inform us how you want the complaint to be handled. You must inform us which remedy for defective performance you have chosen, either when reporting the defect or without undue delay after reporting it. Your choice cannot be changed without our consent; this does not apply where you request rectification of a defect that proves impossible to remedy.
8.6 Returning the original goods. When dealing with a complaint by supplying new goods, you must return the goods originally supplied (unless we have agreed otherwise). The customer cannot request delivery of new goods (nor withdraw from the purchase agreement) if they cannot return the goods in the condition in which they received them. This does not apply where you used the goods before discovering the defect or where the condition changed when the defect was identified. Nor does it apply where, through no fault of your own, the goods cannot be returned to their original condition.
8.7 When will the complaint procedure be concluded? The complaint procedure will be concluded within 3 weeks of asserting the rights, unless we have agreed otherwise.
8.8 Closing a complaint. If the advertised goods are sent to us by a carrier, they will automatically be sent to your address after the complaint has been reviewed, together with confirmation of the date and manner in which the complaint was handled, including confirmation that repairs were carried out and the duration of the complaint procedure, or the reasons for rejecting the complaint.
8.9 Obligation to inspect advertised goods upon receipt. You are also obliged to check the completeness of the advertised goods upon receipt, in particular whether the shipment contains everything it should. Later objections will not be taken into consideration.
9. Personal data protection
9.1 Principles of personal data processing. More information about which personal data we process, how and for what purpose, and for how long it is processed, can be found in our personal data processing policy.
10. Force majeure
10.1 What constitutes force majeure. For the purposes of these GTC, force majeure means any obstacle arising independently of our will that prevents us from fulfilling our obligations, where it is not reasonably possible to assume that we could eliminate, overcome, or foresee this obstacle or its consequences. The effects that exclude
the obligations for which we are liable are limited only to the period during which the obstacle causing these consequences exists.
11. Alternative dispute resolution
11.1 Mediation solution. The Czech Trade Inspection Authority, located at Štěpánská 567/15, 120 00 Praha 2, registration number: 000 20 869, website: https://adr.coi.cz/cs, is responsible for alternative dispute resolution in consumer disputes arising from purchase contracts. The online dispute resolution platform available at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr may be used to resolve disputes between the seller and the customer arising from a purchase contract.
11.2 European Consumer Centre in the Czech Republic. The European Consumer Centre Czech Republic, located at Štěpánská 567/15, 120 00 Praha 2, website: https://evropskyspotrebitel.cz , is a contact point pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 524/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 May 2013 on online dispute resolution for consumer disputes and amending Regulation (EC) No 2006/2004 and Directive 2009/22/EC (Regulation on online consumer dispute resolution).
11.3 Complaints. Before initiating alternative dispute resolution, we recommend contacting us at our email address info@pelek.eu. We always first try to resolve any dispute that arises amicably. Your complaints
will be reviewed no later than within 2 business days (48 hours; this period may be extended by weekends and public holidays normally observed in the Czech Republic).
12. Final provisions, including applicable law and court jurisdiction
12.1 Commitment to comply with consumer rights. If any provision of these T&Cs conflicts with consumer protection legislation, the law takes precedence, and we undertake to comply with it.
12.2 Invalid or ineffective provisions of the T&Cs. If any provision of the T&Cs is or becomes invalid or ineffective, it will be replaced by a provision whose meaning is as close as possible to that of the invalid provision. The invalidity or ineffectiveness of one provision does not affect the validity of the other provisions.
12.3 Applicable law. If there is an international element, we agree that our legal relationship will be governed by the laws of the Czech Republic, excluding all conflict-of-law rules that refer to another law. However, this choice of law must not deprive the consumer of the protection afforded to them by the laws of the country in which they usually reside. The parties to the agreement agree to exclude the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Pursuant to Article 6(2) of the Rome I Regulation, mandatory provisions that would apply in the absence of this clause will always apply.
12.4 Disputes and court jurisdiction. The parties to the agreement agree that any disputes arising from a purchase agreement containing an international element will always be resolved by the competent courts according to our place of business. This does not affect consumers' rights under specific legislation.
12.5 If we agree on different conditions for concluding the purchase agreement. The T&Cs form an integral part of the purchase agreement. Different terms from those in the T&Cs may be agreed in the purchase agreement. Different terms in the purchase agreement take precedence over the T&Cs.
12.6 Requirement to read the T&Cs to conclude the purchase agreement. Reading the T&Cs is voluntary; unfortunately, it is not possible to conclude the purchase agreement without reading them.
12.7 Validity of the T&Cs. These T&Cs are effective from 01.01.2024 and supersede the previous terms and conditions of sale.
