If repairing the item would constitute a significant burden for us or would be an unreasonable request considering the item's value and the significance of the defect, we will inform you. We will act likewise if we assess your request for delivery of a new item as unreasonable in relation to the defect or value of the goods.

The customer cannot demand delivery of new goods (or withdraw from the purchase contract) if they cannot return the goods in the condition in which they received them.

The same applies if, through no fault of your own, it is not possible to return the goods in their original condition.

If any provision of the GTC is or becomes invalid or ineffective, it shall 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 shall not affect the validity of the other provisions.
12.3 Applicable law. Where an international element exists, we agree that our legal relationship shall be governed by the laws of the Czech Republic, excluding all conflict-of-law provisions that refer to another legal system. This choice of law may not deprive consumers of the protection afforded to them by the laws of their habitual residence. The contracting parties 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 shall always apply.

Provisions differing from the GTC may be agreed in the purchase agreement. Any different agreements in the purchase agreement take precedence over the provisions of the GTC.
