Complaints Procedure Code – for contractual relationships with consumers

1. General Provisions

This Complaints Procedure Code regulates the rights and obligations between the Seller, Rimia s.r.o., with a registered office at Potěhníkova 105, Malenovice, 763 02 Zlín, ID: 11899948 registered in the Commercial Register maintained by the Regional Court in Brno, section C, file 125266, hereafter the “Seller”, as the party of the first part, and the Buyer as the party of the second part.

All legal relations between the Seller and the Buyer will be governed by the law of the Czech Republic. This Complaints Procedure Code specifies the rights and obligations for Buyers who act within relationships with the Seller as Consumer Buyers (hereafter “Consumer” or “Buyer”), where the Consumer Buyer is defined by Section 419 of the Act no. 89/2012 Coll., the Civil Code. Handling of Consumer complaints will be governed by this Complaint Procedure Code, the Act no. 89/2012 Coll., the Civil Code, and the Act no. 634/1992 Coll., on Consumer Protection, and the related legislation.

Each item of goods purchased from the Seller is accompanied by proof of purchase of the goods (product), usually a tax document in the form of an invoice, which will contain information on the date of sale of the goods, what the goods are and the price at which the goods were sold, together with the Seller’s identification data containing the Seller’s business name, their identification number, unless a special legal regulation provides otherwise, as well as the destination and date of delivery. This proof of purchase also serves as a delivery note. Goods of technical nature are usually accompanied by a warranty certificate. The warranty applies to goods that have been purchased from the Seller and for which a claim has been made within the warranty period.

2. Acquaintance with and Agreement to the Complaints Procedure Code

The Seller will make the Buyer acquainted with this Complaints Procedure Code in an appropriate manner and provide it to the Buyer in text form at the Buyer’s request. By accepting the goods, the Buyer confirms their acceptance of this Complaints Procedure Code.

3. Consumer Claims

The Seller is liable to the Buyer for

a) delivering the goods of the ordered type, quality and quantity

b) delivering the goods undamaged; any damage to the packaging during transportation will be at the carrier’s liability and the Buyer will assert their claims directly with the carrier upon acceptance of the goods

c) the goods being free of defects upon receipt (liability for quality upon acceptance)

d) the goods being eligible for the usual purpose for a certain period of time (quality warranty)

4. Quality upon Receipt (Conflict with Purchase Agreement)

The Seller is liable to the Buyer that they deliver the goods in compliance with the Agreement and without defects, i.e. in accordance with Section 2161 of the Civil Code (also defined in more detail in Article 9.2 of the General Terms and Conditions of the Seller).

If the Consumer discovers any discrepancy between the ordered and actually delivered goods (in type, quantity, quality, color) upon receipt, they will be obliged to immediately notify the Seller of such discrepancy (we recommend within 48 hours).

The Buyer has the right to have the goods delivered without defects, i.e. to have the goods delivered in conformity with the concluded Purchase Agreement. If the goods are not delivered even within an extended reasonable time, the Buyer will be entitled to withdraw from the Agreement.

5. Delivery of Damaged Goods

The Seller will deliver the goods undamaged, i.e. at the time of packaging the goods are without damage, i.e. not cracked or deformed or otherwise damaged. If the goods are deformed or cracked or otherwise damaged, it will have occurred due to careless handling by the carrier, although the damage may not be visible on the shipment packaging. The carrier is insured against such damage.

The Buyer will be obliged to inspect the shipment for any visible damage. The Buyer will be entitled to refuse to accept the goods from the carrier which are obviously damaged or in case the packaging is obviously damaged in a significant way, which gives rise to a reasonable belief that the goods inside are damaged too (this also applies to cases where the packaging shows that it has been exposed to adverse weather conditions or water). The reasons for refusal to accept the goods must be reported in a protocol written with the postal or courier service employee.

If the Buyer finds out that the goods are damaged (cracked, deformed or otherwise destroyed) or that the package is visibly damaged, they are obliged to claim this defect within 48 hours with the carrier according to the conditions specified by the carrier and to notify the Seller.

If the Buyer accepts the goods even though the packaging is damaged, the Seller will not liable for any defects in the goods resulting from the damage to the transport packaging.

The Buyer has the right to delivery of new goods without defects, unless this is unreasonable due to the nature of the item in question. If the defect relates only to a part of the goods, the Buyer may only request replacement of that part; if this is not possible, the Buyer may withdraw from the Agreement and request a full refund of the purchase price. However, if this is disproportionate due to the nature of the defect, especially if the defect can be rectified without undue delay, the Buyer has the right to have the defect rectified free of charge.

If the Buyer does not withdraw from the Agreement or does not exercise the right to have new goods delivered without defects, to have parts thereof replaced or repaired, they may claim a reasonable discount on the purchase price. The Buyer is also entitled to a reasonable discount if the Seller cannot deliver new goods without defects, replace a part of the goods or repair the goods, as well as if the Seller fails to rectify the defect within a reasonable time or if it would cause significant difficulties for the Consumer to rectify the defect.

If the defect manifests itself within six months of receipt, the goods will be deemed to have been defective upon receipt.

6. Liability for Quality upon Receipt

The Seller will be liable for the Goods being free from defects upon receipt. If the defect manifests itself within six months of receipt, the goods will be deemed to have been defective upon receipt.

7. Quality Warranty

The Seller will be liable that the goods are fit for their usual purpose or retain their usual characteristics for a period of 24 months from the date of purchase.

The warranty period for consumable and perishable goods is indicated on the sold goods, on their packaging or in the instructions attached thereto. After this period, the quality warranty expires.

8. Procedure for Claiming Defects and Handling Complaints

The liability for quality upon receipt and quality warranty will be claimed by the Buyer at the Seller’s premises in person or the goods will be delivered to the address of such premises or the premises from which the goods were dispatched. In the complaint, the Buyer will state what defect occurred in the goods or how it manifests itself and what right arising from defective performance they have chosen. The Buyer is not entitled to change the method of handling the complaint once chosen without the Seller’s consent, except in situations where the chosen method of handling cannot be implemented at all or in time. In the event of a material breach of the Agreement, the Buyer may choose between the right to have a new item delivered, to have it repaired, to receive a reasonable discount or to withdraw from the Agreement. Regardless of the nature of the defect, the Buyer has the right to delivery of a new defect-free item, replacement of a part, a price reduction or withdrawal from the Agreement if the item cannot be used properly due to the recurrence of the defect after repair or due to a greater number of defects. The Buyer is not entitled to claim a defect that was already previously claimed, in case a reasonable discount on the purchase price was provided on the account of this defect.

In the matter of complaints, the Seller may be contacted on the phone number 602 343 006 or at the e-mail address: hello@rimia.eu

When claiming a defect in the product, the Seller is entitled to require the Consumer to prove that the Buyer purchased the goods from the Seller, for example by presenting a proof of purchase of the goods or a warranty certificate, if issued with the goods, or in another way.

The Seller will not be liable for defects in case:

– there is a defect in the goods at the time of acceptance and a discount on the purchase price has been negotiated for such defect,

– of wear and tear on the goods caused by normal use, or in cases where the defect was caused by the Buyer through improper use, storage, maintenance, tampering with on the part of the Buyer or mechanical damage,

– they arise from the nature of the goods (normal life of the goods, etc.),

– of used goods concerning defects corresponding to the amount of wear and tear the goods had upon acceptance.

In accordance with Section 19 of the Consumer Protection Act, the Seller will decide on the complaint immediately (when the goods are returned to the Seller’s address, without undue delay after receipt of the goods together with the claim), in more complex cases within three business days. This time limit does not include the time necessary to assess the defect. The Seller will issue a written confirmation to the Buyer stating the date and place of the complaint, the characteristics of the claimed defect, the Buyer’s requested method of handling of the complaint and the manner in which the Buyer will be notified thereof. If the claim is not made in person and the goods are sent to the Seller, the Seller will send such confirmation to the Buyer electronically upon request.

The complaint, including the rectification of the defect, must be settled without undue delay, no later than 30 days from the date of the complaint, unless the Seller and the Buyer agree on a longer period. The futile expiry of this time limit will be considered a material breach of the Agreement.

The Seller is obliged to confirm to the Buyer in writing the method of handling and duration of the complaint (the Seller will provide to the Buyer a complaint report), or notify the Buyer in writing of the reasons for rejecting the complaint.

9. Time Limit for Exercising the Rights Arising from Defective Performance

The Buyer is entitled to claim the right arising from the defect that occurs during the usable life of the goods, but no later than 24 months from the receipt of the goods. In the case of second-hand goods, this period may be shortened to up to 12 months; such shortening is indicated on the sales receipt. After this period expires, the right to claim defects with the Seller cannot be exercised, unless the Parties have agreed otherwise or the goods have been warranted beyond this period.

The Buyer will exercise their rights under the defective performance without undue delay after discovering that the goods are defective. The Seller will not be liable for any increase in the scope of the damage, should the Buyer use the goods even though they are aware of the defect. If the Buyer claims a defect with the Seller rightfully, the time limit for asserting rights arising from defective performance does not run for the period during which the goods are under repair and the Buyer cannot use them.

The Buyer acknowledges that in the event of a replacement of the goods in the context of settlement of a claim, no new time limit for exercising the rights arising from defective performance will run. The time limit will end 24 months after the purchase of the complained goods.

The time limit for exercising the rights arising from defects cannot be considered as a determination of service life of the goods, which varies with regard to the characteristics of the product, its maintenance and the correctness and intensity of use

10. Complaints Costs, Final Provisions

If a complaint is found to be justified, the Buyer will be entitled to reimbursement of costs reasonably incurred in exercising their rights.

If the Seller rejects the claim as unjustified, the Buyer, or both Parties after agreement with the Seller, may contact a forensic expert in the field and request an independent professional assessment of the defect.

This Complaints Procedure Code will enter into force on 1. 10. 2022.
