7.1.1 Mandatory warranty

The Company is subject to the warranty obligation under the provisions of the Hungarian Civil Code and the Government Decree No 151/2003. for its products. This means that during the warranty period, the Company will only be released from liability if it proves that the defect is due to improper use of the product.

The warranty period begins with the actual performance, i.e. the delivery of the product to the Buyer/ Consumer or the installation of the product.

A durable consumer good listed in annex of the Government Decree No 151/2003 on the mandatory warranty for certain durable consumer goods is considered to be a durable consumer good, for which the law provides a one-year mandatory warranty.

In the case of a warranty, the Buyer/ Consumer has the same rights as listed in Section 8.2.1 on

liability for defects.

The Company will be released from its warranty obligation only if it proves that the cause of the defect arose after the performance.

However, the Buyer/ Consumer does not have the right to assert a claim for liability for defects and warranty at the same time, in parallel, due to the same defect. Notwithstanding these limitations, the rights of the Buyer/ Consumer arising from the warranty apply regardless of the rights set out in Section 8.2.1. and 8.2.2.

7.1.2 Voluntary warranty

The Company undertakes a warranty (guarantee) for the products sold by it for the period indicated on the website, in the description of the Product, which may be longer than the period specified in the Government Decree.

The Company communicates the warranty period for each product at the latest by means of the data on the given garantee card (warranty card) upon collection of the product by the Buyer/ Consumer.

  • Liability

 

  • Liability for defects

In the event of defective performance of the Company, the Buyer/ Consumer may assert a claim for liability for defects against the Company.

In the case of a consumer contract, the Buyer/ Consumer may assert his/ her liability claims within two years from the date of receipt, for product defects that already existed at the time of delivery of the product. After the two-year limitation period expires, the Buyer / Consumer can no longer enforce his/ her liability rights.

In the case of a contract not concluded with a consumer, the right-holder may assert his/ her liability claims within a limitation period of one year from the date of receipt.

The Buyer/ Consumer may, at his/ her option, request a repair or replacement, unless it is impossible to meet the demand chosen by the Buyer/ Consumer or would entail a disproportionate additional cost for the Company compared to the fulfillment of another request. If the repair or replacement has not been requested or could not be requested by the Buyer/ Consumer, he/she may request a proportionate reduction of the consideration or the defect may be repaired by the Buyer/ Consumer or by someone else at the Company’s expense or, as a last resort, the Buyer/ Consumer may withdraw from the contract. There is no room for withdrawal due to a minor defect.

The Buyer / Consumer may transfer from the chosen right for liability for defects to another, however, he/ she shall bear the cost of the transfer, unless it was justified or the Company gave a reson for it.

The Buyer/ Consumer is obliged to notify the Company of the defect immediately after its discovery, but not later than within two months from the discovery of the defect.

The Buyer/ Consumer can enforce his/ her claim for liability for defects directly against the Company

Within six months of the performance of the contract, there are no conditions other than the notification of the defect to enforce the liability claim if the Buyer/ Consumer proves that he/ she has purchased the product from the Company (by presenting an invoice or a copy of the invoice). In such a case, the Company will only be released from the liability if it rebuts this presumption, i.e. proves that the defect of the product occurred after the delivery to the Buyer/ Consumer. If the Company can prove that the cause of the defect arose for a reason attributable to the Buyer/ Consumer, it is not obliged to accept the liability claim of the Buyer / Consumer. However, six months after the performance, the Buyer / Consumer is obliged to prove that the defect he/ sheor she recognized was already present at the time of performance.

If the Buyer/ Consumer asserts his/ her liability claim in respect of the part that can be separated from the product in terms of the indicated defect, the liability claim shall not be constituted valid for the other parts of the product.

  • Product warranty

In the event of a defect in the product (movable property), the customer, who qualifies as a consumer, may, at his/ her choice, assert the right specified in point 8.2.1 or product warranty claim.

However, the Buyer/ Consumer does not have the right to assert a claim for a liability for defects and a product warranty at the same time, in parallel, due to the same defect. However, in case of successful enforcement of the product warranty claim, the Buyer/ Consumer can enforce his/ her liability for defects claim for the replaced product or the repaired part against the manufacturer.

As a product warranty claim, the Buyer/ Consumer may only request the repair or replacement of the defective product. In the event of a product warranty claim, the Buyer/ Consumer must prove the defect of the product.

A product is considered defective if it does not meet the quality requirements in force when it was placed on the market or if it does not have the characteristics specified by the manufacturer.

The Buyer/ Consumer can assert his/ her product warranty claim within two years from the placing of the product on the market by the manufacturer. Upon expiry of this period, he/ sheshall lose this right. The Buyer/ Consumer is obliged to notify the manufacturer of the defect without delay after the discovery of the defect. A defect reported within two months from the discovery of the defect shall be deemed to have been reported without delay. The Buyer/ Consumer is responsible for the damage resulting from the delay in the communication.

The Buyer/ Consumer may assert the product warranty claim against the manufacturer or distributor (Company) of the movable property.

Under the Hungarian Civil Code (Ptk.) a manufacturer is a producer and distributor of a product.

The manufacturer, distributor (Company) is only released from its product warranty obligation if it can prove that:

  • it manufactured or placed the product on the market outside its business or
  • according to the state of science and technology, the defect was not detectable at the time of placing it on the market or
  • the defect of the product results from the application of legislation or a mandatory official regulation.

It is sufficient for the manufacturer or distributor (Company) to prove one reason for the exemption.
