II. Rights and Obligations from a Defective Supply

Quality at the time of takeover - the Seller guarantees to the Buyer that the goods have no defects at the time of takeover. In particular, the Seller guarantees to the Buyer that at the time when the Buyer takes over the goods:

1. the goods have the characteristics agreed between the parties, and if any such agreement is absent, then the goods have such characteristics that were described by the Seller or manufacturer or that were expected by the Buyer with regard to the nature of the goods and the advertising by the Seller or manufacturer;
2. the goods are fit for the purpose stated by seller their use or which of this kind usually used l
3. the goods correspond to the quality or design of the agreed sample or model if the quality or design were ordered on the basis of an agreed sample or model;
4. the goods were delivered in the required quantity;
5. the goods comply with the requirements of legal regulations.

If a defect becomes apparent within six months from the takeover of the goods, it is deemed that the goods were defective as early as at the moment of takeover.

If the sold goods, their packaging, instructions enclosed to the goods or advertisements in accordance with other legal regulations indicate a period for which the goods may be used, then the quality warranty provisions will apply.

The Buyer’s right stated above does not apply:

1. where goods sold for a lower price are concerned, to the defect due to which the lower price was agreed to the wear of the goods caused by their normal use;
2. where used goods are concerned, to the defect corresponding to the extent of use or wear that the goods had at the time of takeover by the consumer; if it follows from the nature of the goods.

If the goods have a defect and the defect is removable, the Buyer may require a repair, or supplementation of what is missing, or a reasonable reduction of the purchase price. If the defect cannot be removed and the goods cannot be used properly because of such defect, the Buyer may either withdraw from the purchase contract or require a reasonable reduction of the purchase price.

The goods are defective if they are not handed over by the Seller to the Buyer in the agreed quantity, quality and design. If the quality and design are not agreed, the Seller will supply goods with the quality and design suitable for the purpose evident from the purchase contract.

If the goods do not have the characteristics stated above (especially if the goods do not have the characteristics agreed between the parties and if any such agreement is absent, then if the goods do not have such characteristics that were described by the Seller or manufacturer or that were expected by the Buyer with regard to the nature of the goods and the advertising by the Seller or manufacturer; if the goods are not fit for the purpose stated by the Seller for their use or for the purpose for which the goods of this kind are usually used; the goods do not correspond to the quality or design of the agreed sample or model if the quality or design were ordered on the basis of an agreed sample or model; if the goods were not delivered in the required quantity, size or weight; and if the goods do not comply with the requirements of legal regulations), the consumer may also require delivery of a new item without any defects if such requirement is not inadequate with regard to the nature of the defect, and if the defect only relates to a part of the goods, the consumer may only require replacement of the part; if this is not possible, the consumer may withdraw from the contract. However, if this is undue with regard to the nature of the matter, especially if the defect can be removed without undue delay, the consumer has the right to have the defect removed free of charge.

The Buyer also has the right to have new goods delivered or a part replaced in the event of a removable defect, provided that the Buyer cannot use the item properly because of the defect recurrence after the repair or because of a larger number of defects. In such case the Buyer has the right to withdraw from the contract.

If the Buyer does not withdraw from the contract or does not exercise the right to have new goods free of defect delivered, to have their part replaced or to have the goods repaired, the Buyer may require a reasonable discount. The Buyer also has the right to a reasonable discount if the Seller is unable to deliver the Buyer new goods free of defects, replace a part of the goods or repair the goods, as well as if the Seller fails to remedy the situation within a reasonable time-limit or if the remedy could cause considerable problems to the Buyer.

The Buyer does not have the rights arising from a defective supply, if the Buyer knew before taking over the goods that the goods had a defect or if the defect was caused by the Buyer themselves. If the goods have a defect for which the Seller holds liability and they are goods sold for a lower price or used goods, the Buyer has the right to a reasonable discount instead of the right to have the goods replaced.

Rights arising from a defect are exercised with the Seller from which the item was purchased. However, if a different party is stated as a party designated to carry out the repair and is present in the Seller’s location or a location closer to the Buyer, the Buyer will exercise the right to have the item repaired with the party designated to carry out the repair. The party thus designated to carry out the repair will repair the item within the time-limit agreed between the Seller and the Buyer during the purchase of the item.

1. have the defect removed by delivering new goods free of defect or missing goods;
2. have the defect removed by repairing the goods;
3. a reasonable reduction of the purchase price of the goods;
4. withdraw from the contract.

Non-material breach of the contract - If the defective supply is a non-material breach of the contract, the Buyer has the right to have the defect removed, or to a reasonable reduction of the purchase price. If in the event of a non-material breach of the contract the Buyer does not exercise the right to a reduction of the purchase price or does not withdraw from the purchase contract, the Seller may supply what is missing or may rectify the legal defect. Other defects may be removed by the Seller by its own choice either by repairing the goods or by delivering new goods; the choice must not result in unreasonable costs for the Buyer.

If the Seller fails to remove the defect of the goods in time or refuses to remove the defect of the goods, the Buyer may require a reduction of the purchase price or may withdraw from the contract. This choice cannot be changed by the Buyer without the Seller’s consent. When new goods are delivered by the Seller to the Buyer, the Buyer will return the Seller, at the Seller’s expense, the goods formerly delivered.

Quality warranty - By the quality warranty, the Seller guarantees that the goods will be fit for use for their usual purpose or will retain their usual properties for a certain period of time. Stating the warranty period or useful life of the goods on the packaging or in advertising also has these effects. A warranty may also be given on component parts of the goods.

If the Seller gives a quality warranty on the goods, the warranty period is included in the information about the particular product stated on the website www.kanekalon-store.com.

The warranty period begins upon handover of the goods to the consumer; if the goods are sent under the contract, the warranty period begins upon delivery of the goods to the destination. If the purchased goods are to be put into operation by a party other than the Seller, the warranty period begins on the day when the goods were put into operation, provided that the Seller ordered the putting of the goods into operation within three weeks from the item takeover at the latest and provided due and timely assistance in order to carry out the service.

The Buyer does not have rights under the warranty where the defect was caused by an external event after the risk of damage to the goods had passed to the consumer. This does not apply if the defect was caused by the Seller.

IV. Conditions for Exercising Rights Arising from a Defective Supply, and Rights under the Quality Warranty (hereinafter jointly referred to as “complaints”)

1. It is recommended that at the time of the consignment delivery the Buyer checks, together with the carrier, the condition of the consignment (number of parcels, integrity of the tape with the company logo, damage of the box) according to the enclosed carriage document. The Buyer may refuse to take over a consignment that does not comply with the purchase contract, e.g. is incomplete or damaged. If the Buyer takes over a damaged consignment from the carrier, it is necessary to describe the damage in the carrier’s handover record.
2. If a consignment is incomplete or damaged, the Buyer has to immediately report this fact by e-mail to the address info@kanekalon-store.com, draw up a damage record with the carrier and send the damage record by e-mail or mail to the Seller without undue delay. If a complaint concerning an incomplete consignment or external damage of the consignment is filed later, the consumer still has the right to file a complaint about the item, but the Seller can prove that it was not a breach of the purchase contract.

The place to file a complaint is Kanekalon Store, Malátova 9, 15000 Praha 5. We recommend that the Buyer always send defective goods under complaint to the Seller’s address through a carrier or deliver them personally. Goods under complaint should be thoroughly secured to prevent their damage in the course of transport, and the parcel should be visibly labeled "COMPLAINT" and contain the goods under complaint (including all the accessories). We recommend enclosing a copy of the purchase document, detailed description of the defect, and sufficient contact details of the Buyer (return address, telephone number). Without that it is impossible to identify the origin and defect of the goods. The procedure for the delivery of goods under complaint is described in point V.

1. The Buyer proves their entitlements arising from the liability for defect or from the quality warranty by submitting the purchase document and if any complaint about the goods was filed in the past, the complaint document as well. The document of acquisition (purchase or complaint document) must state the same serial number as the product under complaint (if the product has a serial number).
2. The liability for defects and quality warranty do not apply to any defects resulting from the use of inappropriate or defective accessories, inappropriate tools, inappropriate work procedures, etc. The Seller does not hold liability for any damage occurred in the consequence of such use. The liability for defects and quality warranty also do not apply to any defects resulting from incorrect operation, or unprofessional or inappropriate handling, use or installation contrary to the user manual, or to damage of electric appliances caused by overvoltage in the power grid.

The liability for defects and quality warranty also do not apply to any damage resulting from (together with the restriction stated in article II of the Complaint Rules):

1. mechanical damage of the goods;
2. electric overvoltage (visibly burnt parts or printed circuits);
3. the use of the goods in conditions (temperature, dust exposure, humidity, and chemical and mechanical factors) not complying with the ambient conditions designated by the Seller or manufacturer;
4. unskilled handling or operation, or neglected care of the goods;
5. by excessive load or use contrary to the conditions stated in the documentation or general rules;
6. an unqualified action or change of parameters;
7. alterations carried out by the customer (coating, bending, etc.), provided that the defect resulted from such alterations.
8. The goods submitted as part of a complaint will only be tested for the defect stated by the Buyer (in the complaint form, in the enclosed document describing the defect). We recommend stating the defect in the return form that is enclosed as a paper document to each order delivery, or in the online complaint form.

V. Complaint Handling Process

In the event of a material or non-material breach of the contract by the Seller, the Buyer may exercise their rights arising from the Seller’s liability for defects or from the quality warranty given, in accordance with article II of the Complaint Rules.

The Seller will handle the complaint, including defect rectification, without undue delay but at the latest within 30 days from the day when the complaint was filed. After expiry of this time-limit the consumer has the same rights as if a defect that cannot be rectified was concerned. This time-limit is not binding on the Buyer that stated their company ID when making the purchase, so their relationship with the Seller is regulated by the Commercial Code.

The Seller will issue to the Buyer a written confirmation stating the date when the complaint was filed, the content of the complaint, and the requested manner of complaint handling; as well as a confirmation of the date and manner of the complaint handling, including a confirmation of repair and its duration or, as the case may be, a written statement of reasons for rejection of the complaint.

If the complaint is justified, the Buyer is entitled to reimbursement of the expenses incurred in connection with the complaint (especially the postage paid by the Buyer when sending the goods under complaint). If withdrawing from the contract because of a defect of an item, the consumer is also entitled to reimbursement of the expenses incurred in connection with such withdrawal.

1. If a complaint about the goods filed within the statutory warranty period is resolved by exchanging the goods for new ones, the warranty period continues to run on the date when the complaint has been resolved. If a complaint is resolved by exchanging the goods, any subsequent complaint is deemed to be the first complaint about the goods. The complaint procedure begins on the day following the day when the complaint was filed, and ends on the day when the complaint is resolved. Information about the complaint resolution is sent to the customer’s e-mail address stated by the customer as early as during the purchase.
2. After the complaint is resolved, the Seller will inform the Buyer about completion of the complaint procedure by phone, SMS or e-mail. If the goods were sent through a carrier, they will be automatically sent to the Buyer’s address after the complaint resolution.

If goods under complaint are not picked up/taken over from the carrier within one month from the expiry of the period within which the rectification was to be completed and if it was completed later, then within one month from the notice that it has been completed (i.e. usually within 60 days from the day when the complaint was filed), the Seller may charge a storage fee when releasing the goods under complaint.

We carefully protect all sensitive personal data and transfer them only to the entities with which we have made a data processing agreement, and we always transfer only such information that is essential (the carrier needs to know your address and telephone number but not the history of your orders or the number of complaints). Such entities are e.g. the carriers that need your data in order to deliver the order, the price comparison website if you make the purchase through it, or the newsletter service. All these entities have undertaken in their data processing agreement to protect your personal data in the same manner as we do.

At www.kanekalon-store.com personal data are processed by Kanekalon Store The processor is duly registered with the Office for Personal Data Protection (in Czech: Úřad pro ochranu osobních údajů).

For their proper functioning, websites need a number of “cookies”. Consent to their processing is required by most websites, otherwise they would not be able to work.

Purpose and method of personal data processing

As partially described above, we process your personal data for several reasons. These reasons will be outlined below.

Purchase and sale at kanekalon-store.com

To be able to successfully handle your order, we need some of your data for the communication with you, for the delivery of your consignment, and for the issue of the purchase contract. So these data are processed for the purpose of fulfillment of the purchase contract. We obtain these data from the order form (or from our system if you have already been our registered user) and archive them for ten years in accordance with the tax laws.

Some of these data have to be provided to our partners, such as carriers (address, telephone number, e-mail address).

Support by e-mail and telephone

If you contact us by e-mail or telephone or through a contact form, you may be requested for additional personal data in order to verify the accuracy of your request (question about the order, help with the payment, etc.). We need such information to be able to match your request to the orders in our system. We archive your telephone number or e-mail address and additional data for the purposes of future complaints or disputes, if any, on the grounds of our legitimate interest.

Marketing communication

We may also use your e-mail address to send you information about products, news, discounts and events in our e-shop. We do so to give you as many opportunities as possible to buy goods that will make you happy. If you do not wish to receive this communication, you may unsubscribe at any time in the footer of any e-mail. It may happen that if you place a new order at kanekalon-store.com, your e-mail address is entered into the database once more and you will start to receive marketing communications again. If this happens, we ask for your understanding. It is a software problem and we will try to correct it. Please let us know about the fault at info@kanekalon-store.com.
