Powers conferred on consumers by law

The seller shall be liable under the Civil Code to the buyer if the item sold has a physical or legal defect (statutory warranty). The seller shall be liable for warranty in case of a physical defect which is discovered prior to the lapse of two years from the date on which the buyer was provided with the item. The buyer may exercise the rights under the statutory warranty for defects regardless of the rights resulting from the warranty. The exercise of the rights under the warranty shall not affect the seller's liability under the statutory warranty. However, if the buyer exercises the rights under the warranty, the time limit for exercising the rights under the statutory warranty shall be suspended from the date on which the seller is notified of the defect. That time limit shall be resumed from the date on which the guarantor refuses to fulfill the obligations arising from the warranty or the ineffective expiry of the time for its performance.
