(2) In accordance with the provisions of the Civil Code and the Consumer Rights Act, Hossa shall be liable to the Consumer in the event that the Product is not in conformity with the Contract and for non-performance or improper performance of the service obligation. Hossa shall be liable as referred to in sentence 1, on the principles set out in paragraphs 3-21 of this Section VIII, also towards a natural person who concludes an Agreement directly related to his/her business activity, when it follows from the content of the Agreement that it is not of a professional nature for that person, resulting in particular from the subject matter of his/her business activity made available on the basis of the provisions on the Central Register and Information on Business Activity. With regard to other Clients, Hossa shall be liable in accordance with the provisions of the Civil Code and Section XIII of these Regulations and the provisions of paragraphs 3-23 of this Section VIII shall not apply.

(3) Hossa shall be liable for the lack of conformity of the Product with the contract existing at the time of delivery and disclosed within two years from that time, unless the shelf life of the goods, as determined by Hossa, its legal predecessors or persons acting on their behalf, is longer. Any lack of conformity of the goods with the contract that becomes apparent before the expiry of two years from the time of delivery of the goods shall be presumed to have existed at the time of delivery, unless the contrary is proven or the presumption cannot be reconciled with the specific nature of the goods or the nature of the lack of conformity of the goods with the contract.

(4) If the goods are not in conformity with the Contract, the Consumer may request repair or replacement. Hossa may replace the goods when the Consumer has requested repair or repair the goods when the Consumer has requested replacement only if bringing the goods into conformity with the Contract in the manner chosen by the Consumer is impossible or would require excessive costs for Hossa. If repair and replacement are impossible or would require excessive costs for the trader, the trader may refuse to bring the goods into conformity with the contract.

(5) In assessing whether the costs are excessive, account shall be taken of all the circumstances of the case, in particular the significance of the non-conformity of the goods with the contract, the value of the goods in conformity and the undue inconvenience to the consumer caused by the change in the manner in which the goods were brought into conformity.

(6) Hossa shall carry out the repair or replacement within a reasonable time from the moment it was informed by the Consumer of the lack of conformity with the contract and without undue inconvenience for the Consumer, taking into account the specific nature of the goods and the purpose for which the Consumer purchased them. The costs of repair or replacement, including in particular the costs of postage, carriage, labour and materials, shall be borne by Hossa.

(7) The Consumer shall make the goods subject to repair or replacement available to Hossa. Hossa shall collect the goods from the Consumer at its expense.

(8) If the goods have been assembled before the non-conformity of the goods with the contract becomes apparent, Hossa shall dismantle the goods and reassemble them after repair or replacement or have them done at its expense.

(9) The consumer shall not be obliged to pay for the mere use of the goods which have subsequently been replaced.

(10) If the non-conformity of the goods with the Contract has not been remedied in accordance with paragraphs 4, 6 or 8 above (Hossa has refused to bring the goods into conformity with the Contract, Hossa has not brought the goods into conformity with the Contract, the non-conformity continues to exist even though Hossa has attempted to bring the goods into conformity with the Contract) the Consumer may make a declaration to reduce the price or withdraw from the Contract. The Consumer may also make the declaration referred to in sentence 1 if the lack of conformity of the goods with the Contract is so significant that it justifies an immediate price reduction or withdrawal from the Contract or it is clear from Hossa's declaration or the circumstances that Hossa will not bring the goods into conformity with the Contract within a reasonable time or without undue inconvenience for the Consumer.

(11) The price of the goods reduced in accordance with paragraph 10 above must remain in such proportion to the Contract Price as the value of the non-conforming goods remains to the value of the conforming goods.

(12) Hossa shall reimburse the amounts due as a result of the exercise of the right to reduce the price immediately, but no later than within 14 days of receipt of the Consumer's statement on the reduction of the Price. 

(13) The consumer may not withdraw from the contract if the lack of conformity of the goods with the contract is insignificant. The lack of conformity of the goods with the contract shall be presumed to be material.

14, In the event of withdrawal, the consumer shall immediately return the goods to the trader at his expense. The trader shall reimburse the consumer immediately, but not later than 14 days after receiving the goods or proof of their return.
