Contractual performance requirements for the sale of goods sold under a consumer contract
The Seller shall be deemed to have performed defectively if the defect in the goods is due to improper installation, provided that
a) the installation is part of the sales contract and was carried out by the Seller or under the Seller's responsibility; or
(b) the installation was to be carried out by the consumer and the incorrect installation is the result of shortcomings in the installation instructions provided by the Seller or, in the case of goods containing digital elements, by the digital content or digital service provider.
If the contract of sale provides that the goods are to be put into service by the Seller or under the Seller's responsibility, performance shall be deemed to have been completed by the Seller when the putting into service is completed.
If, in the case of goods containing digital elements, the contract of sale provides for the continuous supply of digital content or digital services for a specified period, the Seller is liable for a defect in the digital content of the goods if the defect occurs or becomes apparent within two years of the delivery of the goods in the case of continuous supply for a period not exceeding two years.
Contractual performance requirements for goods containing digital elements sold under a consumer contract
For goods containing digital elements, the Seller must ensure that the consumer is notified of and receives any updates to the digital content of the goods or to the digital service associated with the goods, including security updates, that are necessary to keep the goods in conformity with the contract.
The Seller's obligation to make the update available if the contract of sale
If the consumer fails to install the provided updates within a reasonable time, the Seller shall not be liable for the defect of the goods if it is solely due to the failure to apply the relevant update, provided that
a) the Seller has informed the consumer of the availability of the update and the consequences of the consumer's failure to install it; and
(b) the failure of the consumer to install the upgrade or the incorrect installation of the upgrade by the consumer is not due to a lack of installation instructions provided by the Seller.
Defective performance cannot be established if, at the time of the conclusion of the contract, the consumer was specifically informed that a particular characteristic of the goods differed from that described here and the consumer expressly accepted this difference at the time of the conclusion of the contract of sale.
Accessories warranty
In which cases can you exercise your right to a warranty?
In the event of defective performance by the Seller, you may assert a claim for warranty against the Seller in accordance with the provisions of the Civil Code and, in the case of consumer contracts, in accordance with the provisions of Government Decree 373/2021 (30.VI.).
What rights do you have under a warranty claim?
You may - at your option - make the following warranty claims:
You may request a repair or replacement, unless one of these is impossible or would impose a disproportionate extra cost on the Seller compared to any other request you have made. If you have not requested or could not request the repair or replacement, you may request a proportionate reduction in the price or, as a last resort, withdraw from the contract.
You can switch from one warranty right to another, but you will bear the cost of the switch unless it was justified or the Seller gave a reason for it.
In the case of a consumer contract, it must be presumed, unless the contrary is proved, that the defect in the goods and the goods incorporating digital elements was discovered within one year of the date of performance of the contract and was already present at the time of performance of the goods, unless this presumption is incompatible with the nature of the goods or the nature of the defect.
In the case of used Goods, the warranty and guarantee rights are usually different from the general rules. In the case of second-hand Goods, defective performance may also be considered, but the circumstances under which the Buyer could have expected certain defects to occur must be taken into account. As a result of ageing, the occurrence of certain defects becomes more frequent and it cannot be assumed that a second-hand Goods can be of the same quality as newly purchased Goods. On this basis, the Buyer may only assert his warranty rights in respect of defects which are in addition to and independent of those resulting from use. If the used Goods are defective and the Customer, being the Consumer, was informed of this at the time of purchase, the Supplier shall not be liable for the known defect.
The Seller may refuse to bring the Goods into conformity with the contract if repair or replacement is impossible or would result in disproportionate additional costs to the Seller, taking into account all the circumstances, including the value of the Goods in their original condition and the seriousness of the breach of contract.
The consumer is also entitled to claim a proportionate reduction of the consideration or to terminate the sales contract, according to the seriousness of the breach of contract, if.
If the consumer wishes to terminate the sales contract on the grounds of defective performance, the burden of proving that the defect is insignificant lies with the Seller.
The Consumer shall be entitled to retain the remaining part of the purchase price, in whole or in part, according to the seriousness of the breach of contract, until the Seller has fulfilled its obligations regarding the conformity of performance and defective performance.
The general rule is that:
The reasonable time limit for the repair or replacement of the goods shall be calculated from the date on which the Consumer notified the business of the defect.
The consumer must make the goods available to the trader in order to have them repaired or replaced.
The reduction of the consideration is proportionate if it is equal to the difference between the value of the goods to which the Consumer is entitled in the case of contractual performance and the value of the goods actually received by the Consumer.
The Consumer's right to terminate the contract of sale may be exercised by means of a declaration addressed to the Seller expressing the decision to terminate.
If the non-conformity concerns only a specified part of the goods supplied under the sales contract and the conditions for exercising the right to terminate the contract apply in respect of those goods, the Consumer may terminate the sales contract only in respect of the non-conforming goods, but may also terminate it in respect of any other goods acquired with them if the Consumer cannot reasonably be expected to keep only the goods which conform to the contract.
If the Consumer terminates the contract of sale in its entirety or in respect of part of the goods supplied under the contract of sale, the Consumer shall.
What is the time limit for you to claim your warranty?
You are obliged to report the fault as soon as you discover it. A defect notified within two months of its discovery shall be considered to have been notified without delay. However, you should note that you cannot claim any rights under a guarantee beyond the two-year limitation period from the date of performance of the contract.
The limitation period does not include the part of the repair period during which the Buyer cannot use the Goods for their intended purpose.
For the part of the Goods affected by the replacement or repair, the limitation period for the claim for replacement or repair shall start to run again. This rule shall also apply in the event that a new defect arises as a result of the repair.
If the subject of the contract between the consumer and the business is second-hand goods, the parties may agree on a shorter limitation period; in this case, a limitation period of less than one year cannot be validly agreed.
Who can you claim against?
You may assert a warranty claim against the Seller.
What other conditions are there for the enforcement of your rights under the warranty?
Within one year from the date of performance, you can claim for a replacement goods warranty on no condition other than that you have notified the defect, if you prove that the goods were provided by the Seller. However, after one year from the date of performance, you will have the burden of proving that the defect which you have discovered existed at the time of performance.

However, for these Goods, the Seller shall also endeavour to comply with the request for repair within 15 days.
If the duration of the repair or replacement exceeds fifteen days, the Seller must inform the Buyer of the expected duration of the repair or replacement.
What is the relationship between warranties and other warranty rights?
Warranty is in addition to warranty rights (product and accessory warranty), the fundamental difference between general warranty rights and warranty is that the burden of proof is lower for the consumer in the case of warranty.
The Seller's voluntary guarantee undertaking must not, during the period of the obligatory guarantee, contain conditions for the consumer which are less favourable than the rights granted by the rules on obligatory guarantees. However, after that period, the conditions of the voluntary guarantee may be freely determined, but the guarantee may not affect the consumer's statutory rights, including those based on the implied warranty.
Request for replacement within three working days
In the case of sales via a webshop, the three working days exchange requirement also applies. A three working day replacement claim is possible for new consumer durables covered by Government Decree 151/2003 (22.IX.), according to which if a replacement claim is made within 3 working days, the seller must interpret this as meaning that the goods were already defective at the time of sale and must replace them without further ado.
When is the Seller released from his warranty obligation?
The Seller shall be released from its warranty obligation only if it proves that the cause of the defect arose after performance.
Please note that you may not make a warranty claim and a guarantee claim or a product warranty claim and a guarantee claim for the same defect at the same time, but you will have the rights under the guarantee irrespective of the warranty rights.

General rules on the rights of accessory warranties
A Buyer who is not a Consumer may, at his/her option, make the following warranty claims:
You may request a repair or replacement, unless one of these is impossible or would impose a disproportionate additional cost on the Seller compared to any other request you have made. If you did not or could not request the repair or replacement, you may request a proportionate reduction in the price or the Buyer may have the defect repaired or replaced at the Seller's expense or, as a last resort, may withdraw from the contract.
You can switch from one warranty right to another, but you will bear the cost of the switch unless it was justified or the Seller gave a reason for it.
In the case of used Goods, the warranty and guarantee rights are usually different from the general rules. In the case of second-hand Goods, defective performance may also be considered, but the circumstances under which the Buyer could have expected certain defects to occur must be taken into account. As a result of ageing, the occurrence of certain defects becomes more frequent and it cannot be assumed that a second-hand Goods can be of the same quality as newly purchased Goods. On this basis, the Buyer may only assert his warranty rights in respect of defects which are in addition to and independent of those resulting from use. If the used Goods are defective and the Customer, being the Consumer, was informed of this at the time of purchase, the Supplier shall not be liable for the known defect.
In the case of buyers who are not consumers, the period of validity of the right to claim under the warranty is 1 year, starting on the date of delivery.
Warranty and Guarantee
Product guarantees and mandatory warranties are only available to customers who are consumers.
