third book of Title XI of Section II of the Civil Code.
- The Product complies with the Agreement if, in particular, the following are in
accordance with the Agreement:

safety, and in relation to goods with digital elements - also functionality and
compatibility, as are typical for such goods and which the Consumer can reasonably
expect, taking into account the nature of the goods and the public assurance given

not have been aware of it,

acting on their behalf, is longer. It is presumed that the lack of compliance of the Product
with the Agreement, which was revealed within two years from the delivery of the Product,
existed at the time of its delivery, unless it is proven otherwise or this presumption cannot
be reconciled with the specificity of the Product or the nature of the lack of compliance of

non-compliance with the Agreement if it has fraudulently concealed this non-compliance.

require excessive costs for WITTCHEN. If repair and replacement are impossible or would
require excessive costs for WITTCHEN, WITTCHEN may refuse to bring the Product into
compliance with the Agreement.
- The assessment of excessive costs for WITTCHEN takes into account all the
circumstances of the case, in particular the importance of non-compliance of the Product with
the Agreement, the value of the Product compliant with the Agreement and excessive
inconveniences for the Consumer resulting from the change in the manner of bringing the
Product into compliance with the Agreement.

informed by the Consumer of the lack of conformity with the Agreement and without undue

Agreement in accordance with art. 43d section 2 of the Consumer Law;

bring the Product into compliance with the Agreement within a reasonable time or
without undue inconvenience to the Consumer.

right to reduce the Price immediately, no later than within 14 days from the date of receipt
of the Consumer's statement on the reduction of the Price.

with the Agreement is insignificant. It is presumed that the lack of compliance of the
Product with the Agreement is significant.
- If the lack of conformity with the Agreement concerns only certain Products delivered
under the Agreement, the Consumer may withdraw from the Agreement only in relation to these
Products, as well as in relation to other Products purchased by the Consumer together with
Products that do not comply with the Agreement, if it cannot be reasonably expected that the
Consumer will agree to retain only Products that comply with the Agreement.
