If a defect in product has been discovered prior to the lapse of one year from the date of product delivery, it is deemed to exist from the moment the risk is transferred to the Consumer.
If a sold item has a defect, the Consumer can:

make a statement in which they demand the Seller to lower the price;
make a declaration on recession of a contract;

unless the Seller replaces the defective item with an item free of defects or removes the defect without unnecessary delay and excessive inconveniences to the Consumer. If the item has already been replaced or repaired by the Seller or the Seller has not fulfilled their obligation to replace the item with an item free of charge or remove a defect, the Consumer is not entitled to have an item replaced or a defect removed.

Instead of having a defect removed, the Consumer can demand replacement for an item free of defects or instead of having a defect removed they can demand removal of a defect, unless making the item consistent with the provisions of the contract in the manner chosen by the Consumer is impossible or if it would require incurring excessive expenses compared to the manner suggested by the Seller. Estimating the possible excessiveness of expenses, the Seller takes into account the value of an item free of defects, type and importance of the noted defect as well as inconveniences that another manner of satisfying Consumer’s demands would cause to them.

a statement in which the Consumer demands them to lower the price;
Consumer’s declaration on recession of a contract;
Consumer’s demand to have an item replaced with an item free of defects;
Consumer’s demand to have a defect removed

within 14 days. Otherwise, the Seller is deemed to have accepted Consumer’s statement, declaration or demand as reasonable.

The Seller does not bear liability under warranty if a defect in product is noted prior to the lapse of two years from the moment of delivery of an item to the Consumer, and if the subject of sales was a used item prior to the lapse of one year from the moment of delivery of an item to the Consumer.
Consumer’s claim for removal of a defect or replacement of a sold item for an item free of defects is barred after one year counting from the date on which a defect was noted, however not earlier than prior to the lapse of two years from the moment of delivery of an item to the Consumer, and if the subject of sales was a used item prior to the lapse of one year from the moment of delivery of an item to the Consumer.

If the Consumer demanded removal of a defect or replacement of an item for an item free of defects, the time limit for making a declaration on recession of a contract or demanding the price to be lowered runs from an ineffective expiry of the time limit for replacement of an item or removal of a defect.
If the Consumer seeks to exercise one of their rights resulting from a warranty by means of court proceedings or proceedings before an arbitration court, the time limit for exercise of their other rights resulting from a warranty is suspended until a final and binding decision is entered by the court. This also applies to mediation procedure, however the time limit for exercise of Consumer’s other rights resulting from a warranty runs from the date of court refusal to accept a settlement concluded before a mediator or of ineffective conclusion of mediation procedure.
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.
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.
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.
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.
