7.1 The contracting parties’ rights and obligations with regard to the rights arising from defective performance shall be governed by the relevant generally binding regulations (in particular the provisions of § 1914 to 1925, § 2099 to 2117 of the Civil Code, or § 2165 to 2174 in the case of consumers), unless otherwise agreed. The Seller shall be liable to the Buyer that the goods are defect-free upon receipt. In particular, the Seller shall be liable to the Buyer that at the time the Buyer takes over the goods, the goods have the characteristics agreed between the parties and, in the absence of agreement, have the characteristics described by the Seller or the manufacturer, the goods are in the appropriate quantity, measure or weight and the goods comply with the requirements of the legal regulations.
7.2 The provisions referred to in Article 7.1 of the Terms and Conditions shall not apply to goods sold at a lower price due to a defect and whereby the lower price has been agreed, to wear and tear caused by the normal use of the goods, or in the case of second-hand goods, to a defect corresponding to the level of use or wear and tear that the goods had when taken over by the Buyer, or if this results from the nature of the goods.
7.3 Upon receipt of the goods, the Buyer is immediately obliged to inspect the goods, and particularly check the number of pieces of goods and their completeness. If defects are detected, the Buyer is obliged to notify the Seller without undue delay, but no later than 10 working days after receiving the goods. The Buyer is obliged to document any defects found in a suitable manner and to send this documentation to the Seller together with the goods and the defect notification. The Buyer is simultaneously obliged to choose a claim for defective performance.
7.4 If the "Repair upon identified costs" form of repair is chosen for turbocharger goods, the goods must first be dismantled, and a diagnosis must be carried out. The Buyer is then sent a repair offer by the Seller to his electronic address, which the Buyer is entitled to refuse.
7.5 In the event that the Buyer refuses the repair according to the Article 7.5 of the Terms and Conditions, the Seller shall send the goods back to the Buyer in dismantled condition for safety reasons. Reassembly of the turbocharger goods shall be carried out by the Seller only at the Buyer’s express request, at a price according to the Seller's current price list.
7.6 The Seller is not liable for the subsequent handling and disposal of unrepaired turbocharger goods in accordance with the Articles 7.6 and 7.6.
7.7 The rights arising from defective performance shall be exercised by the Buyer at the Seller's registered office or electronically at the Seller's e-mail address. The moment of asserting a claim arising from the defective performance is deemed to be the moment when the Seller received the claimed goods from the Buyer together with the submitted invoice or other proof of delivery of the goods or purchase price payment and a protocol or notification describing the defect and, if applicable, its cause.
7.8 Similarly, the Buyer is obliged to proceed in the case of a hidden defect that appears on the goods within the statutory period.
7.9 The Seller shall inform the Buyer of the claimed defect assessment and the claim as soon as possible, taking the complexity of the claimed defect and the Seller's capabilities into account.
7.10 The Seller is obliged to settle the complaint within 30 days from the receipt of the goods from the Buyer. The Seller reserves the right to exceed this time limit in justified cases. The Seller is obliged to notify the Buyer of this procedure at the Buyer's electronic address.
7.11 The Buyer shall bear the costs of any defect claim that is not admitted by the Seller, unless the Seller and the Buyer agree otherwise.
7.12 The Seller provides a quality guarantee for new turbochargers and turbochargers sold by exchange for a period of 24 months from the Buyer receiving the goods. For repaired turbochargers, the Seller provides a quality guarantee for a period of 6 months from the Buyer receiving the goods unless otherwise individually agreed with the Buyer.
7.13 This warranty shall not apply, and the Seller shall not assume responsibility for defects and damages resulting from operation of the goods, functional characteristics and damages caused by the goods improper, as well as damages caused by force majeure and the goods improper handling.
7.14 The Seller's liability to the Buyer is limited to the Buyer's direct damages up to a maximum of the price of the goods in question. The liability limitation shall not apply in the event of death or injury caused by the Seller's negligence. The Seller shall not be liable for any indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages (e.g., loss of profit or loss of revenue, loss of use, rework, repair, production costs, recall costs, damage to reputation or loss of customers, etc.). This liability limitation is without prejudice to the rights of the Buyer conferred by the law to the extent that the Seller may not lawfully disclaim any implied or statutory warranties.
