  5. Provisions of Section 5 Points 15 to 16 hereinabove apply to exercise of rights resulting from a warranty for legal defects of a sold item. The time limit runs from the date on which the Consumer learnt about the defect, and if the Consumer learnt about the defect as a result of proceedings brought by a third party from the date on which a decision entered in the proceedings became final and binding.
  6. If on account of a defect in an item the Consumer made a declaration on recession of a contract or demanded the price to be lowered, they can demand a repair of the damage sustained due to conclusion of a contract being unaware of the defect, even if the defect was a result of circumstances beyond Seller’s liability. The Consumer can demand in particular reimbursement of costs of contract conclusion, costs of collection, transport, storage and insurance of an item and reimbursement of incurred expenses to the extent in which they did not benefit from them or which were not reimbursed to them by a party, and reimbursement of proceedings costs. This does not prejudice an obligation to repair damage on general terms.
  7. The expiry of any time limit for a defect to be noted does not preclude exercise of rights resulting from the warranty if the Seller concealed a defect deceitfully.
  8. Should the Seller be obliged to render a performance or financial performance to the benefit of the Consumer, they will render it without unnecessary delay, not later than within a time limit provided for by the law.
