The following do not constitute a defect:
- wear and tear caused by normal use;
- defects caused by mechanical damage by the buyer;
- defects caused by improper or incorrect use, storage or handling;
- damage caused by natural disasters or external events.
A defect that appears within 12 months of delivery is presumed to have existed at the time of delivery.
3. Rights Arising from Defective Performance
The consumer may claim (at their choice):
1. Free-of-charge repair
2. Replacement of the defective goods with new goods
3. A proportionate price reduction
4. Withdrawal from the contract – only if the Seller refuses to remedy the defect, the same defect recurs (3 times after repair), or the defect constitutes a material breach of contract.
