Powers conferred on consumers by law

For consumers who have concluded contracts until 31.12.2022.

The entrepreneur is liable under the Civil Code to the buyer if the item sold has a physical or legal defect (warranty). The entrepreneur is liable under the warranty if a physical defect is found within two years from the date of delivery of the item to the buyer. The Buyer may exercise the rights under the warranty for physical defects of items regardless of the rights resulting from the guarantee. The exercise of rights under the guarantee does not affect the entrepreneur liability under the warranty. However, if the buyer exercises the rights under the guarantee, the period for exercising the rights under the warranty is suspended on the date of notification to the seller of the defect. This period shall run further from the date of refusal by the guarantor to perform the obligations arising from the guarantee or the ineffective expiry of the time for their performance.

For consumers who have concluded contracts from 1.01.2023

The entrepreneur is liable under the Act on consumer rights to the buyer if the goods sold do not conform to a sales contract. If the goods are not in conformity with the contract, the buyer may submit a complaint to the entrepreneur and may request its repair or replacement and - under the conditions set out in the Consumer Rights Act, may submit a statement on price reduction or withdrawal from the contract. The seller is liable for any lack of conformity of the goods existing at the time of delivery and revealed within two years of that time unless the expiry date of the goods is longer as determined by the entrepreneur, his legal predecessors, or persons acting on their behalf. The Buyer may exercise the rights for non-conformity of the goods with the contract regardless of the rights arising from the warranty. The exercise of rights under the guarantee does not affect the liability of the entrepreneur in the event of non-conformity of the goods with a contract. However, if the buyer exercises the rights under the guarantee, the period for exercising the rights due to non-conformity of the goods with the contract shall be suspended on the date of notification to the seller of the non-conformity of the goods with the contract. This period shall run further from the date of refusal by the guarantor to perform the obligations arising from the guarantee or the ineffective expiry of the time for their performance.
