a) goods that have been modified according to the consumer’s wishes or made to the consumer’s specifications (i.e. any custom modification of goods based on the consumer’s request means that withdrawal from the purchase of such goods is not possible),
b) goods in sealed packaging which the consumer has removed from the packaging and which, for hygienic reasons, cannot be returned. -
6.2. Unless it is a case referred to in Article 6.1 or another case where withdrawal from the purchase contract is not possible, the Buyer has the right, in accordance with Section 1829(1) of the Civil Code, to withdraw from the purchase contract within fourteen (14) days of taking delivery of the goods.
-
6.3. Beyond the statutory time limit stated in the preceding paragraph, the Seller provides the Buyer with a benefit in the form of the option to request a return or exchange of the goods within an extended, non-standard period of ninety (90) days from receipt of the goods. In the period from the 15th to the 90th day, this is no longer a statutory withdrawal from the contract, but a voluntary performance by the Seller, governed exclusively by the rules set out in Articles 6.4 and 6.5.
-
6.4. Within the extended non-standard period (15th to 90th day), a return or exchange may be requested only for goods that are unworn, undamaged, and without any signs of use. Goods showing signs of wear or use are not normally accepted back by the Seller within this period. The Seller reserves the right to unilaterally assess the condition of the goods and to make the exclusive decision as to whether the goods are eligible for return under this benefit.
-
6.5. The method of settlement within the extended non-standard period (15th to 90th day) shall be determined exclusively by the Seller. Based on the condition of the goods, the Seller may offer the Buyer:
a) an exchange for another model (with possible additional payment or refund of the price difference),
b) the issuance of a gift voucher in the value of the goods, valid for 1 year,
c) or, at the Seller’s sole discretion, a refund of the purchase price (which may be reduced by the costs incurred in restoring the goods to their original condition). -
6.6. The Seller is not obliged to refund the received funds to the Buyer before the Buyer returns the goods or proves that the goods have been dispatched to the Seller. Any refund shall always be made only after the Seller has inspected the condition of the goods.
-
6.7. The Buyer is liable for any reduction in the value of the goods resulting from handling them in a manner other than that necessary to become acquainted with the nature, characteristics, and functionality of the goods. The Buyer acknowledges that the Seller is entitled to unilaterally offset any claim for compensation for damage to the goods (damaged, worn, or soiled goods) against the Buyer’s claim for a refund of the purchase price.
-
6.8. In the event of a statutory withdrawal (within 14 days), the Seller shall also refund the Buyer the costs of delivery of the goods to the Buyer (in the amount of the cheapest delivery method). In the case of withdrawal from part of the goods, a proportional part of the delivery costs shall be refunded. The costs of returning the goods to the Seller shall always be borne by the Buyer.

-
6.11. The right to withdraw from the contract pursuant to Section 1829(1) of the Civil Code (the statutory 14-day period) applies exclusively to contracts concluded at a distance. This right does not apply to purchase contracts concluded in person at a brick-and-mortar store.
-
6.12. For goods purchased in person at a store, the Seller voluntarily allows an exchange of the goods within a period of 90 days for other goods or for a voucher of the corresponding value, but not a refund of money.

- 7.1. The rights and obligations of the contracting parties regarding rights from defective performance are governed by the relevant generally binding legal regulations (in particular Sections 1914 to 1925, 2099 to 2117, and 2161 to 2174b of the Civil Code, and Act No. 634/1992 Coll., on Consumer Protection, as amended).
7.2. The seller is liable to the buyer that the item has no defects upon receipt. In particular, the seller guarantees that the item: - a) corresponds to the agreed description, type, quantity, as well as quality, functionality, compatibility, interoperability, and other agreed characteristics,
b) is suitable for the purpose for which the buyer requires it and which the seller has approved, and
c) is delivered with the agreed accessories and instructions for use, including assembly or installation instructions. - 7.3. The seller further guarantees that, besides the agreed characteristics:
- a) the item is suitable for the purpose for which goods of this kind are usually used, considering third-party rights, legal regulations, technical standards, or codes of conduct in the relevant sector, unless there are no technical standards,
b) the item, in terms of quantity, quality, and other properties, including durability, functionality, compatibility, and safety, corresponds to the usual properties of goods of the same kind that the buyer can reasonably expect, including public statements made by the seller or another person in the same contractual chain, especially advertising or labeling,
c) the item is delivered with accessories, including packaging, assembly instructions, and other usage instructions that the buyer can reasonably expect, and
d) the item corresponds in quality or workmanship to the sample or prototype provided by the seller before concluding the contract. - The preceding paragraph does not apply if the seller explicitly informed the buyer before concluding the contract that a particular characteristic of the item differs, and the buyer explicitly agreed to it.
- 7.4. The seller is not bound by a public statement referred to in 7.3(b) if he proves that he was not aware of it, that it was modified in a comparable manner at the time of concluding the contract, or that it could not have influenced the purchasing decision.
- 7.5. The seller is also liable for defects caused by improper assembly or installation carried out by the seller or under the seller's responsibility, including cases where assembly or installation was performed by the buyer but the defect resulted from a deficiency in the instructions provided by the seller.
- 7.6. A complaint is not justified in particular if:
- a) the defect existed at the time of receipt and a price reduction for such defect was agreed,
b) the defect was caused by the buyer due to incorrect use, storage, maintenance, excessive stress, interference, or mechanical damage,
c) the goods were used in conditions with unusual temperature, dust, humidity, chemical, or mechanical influences,
d) the defect arose due to external events beyond the seller’s control (natural disasters, force majeure, state electricity network),
e) the utility or aesthetic value of the goods was prematurely exhausted due to negligent use,
f) natural characteristics of natural materials (e.g., ordinary color or structural differences in leather, textile) are not considered defects,
g) the defect does not appear even after thorough expert inspection,
h) the defect arose from unqualified intervention, use of non-original parts, changes in parameters, or modifications of the goods by the buyer or a third party. - Wear and tear caused by normal use or, in the case of used goods, wear corresponding to previous use, is not considered a defect.
- 7.7. The warranty for quality arises from a statement by the warranty provider promising to satisfy the buyer beyond statutory rights from defective performance, e.g., by refunding the purchase price, replacing or repairing the item, or providing a related service. The warranty for quality also arises from statements in advertising available at the time of contract conclusion. If the content of a warranty in another statement is less favorable than that in advertising, the advertising content prevails, unless it was subsequently modified in a comparable manner.
- 7.8. Beyond statutory obligations, the seller provides the buyer with a quality warranty of up to five years for purchased watches, one year for used goods, unless the warranty certificate or product card specifies a longer period. The warranty is governed by the provisions of these Terms and Conditions unless the warranty certificate, contract, or product card states otherwise. The complaint handling period for the last three years of a five-year warranty is considered reasonable and may exceed 30 days.
- 7.9. If warranty statements specify different warranty periods, the longest period applies.
- 7.10. The warranty period starts upon delivery of the item to the buyer; if the item is shipped, it starts upon arrival at the destination. If someone other than the warranty provider is to commission the item, the warranty period starts from the commissioning date, provided the buyer ordered commissioning within three weeks of receipt and provided timely necessary cooperation.
- 7.11. A defect covered by the warranty must be reported to the warranty provider within the warranty period.
- 7.12. If a defect appears within one year of receipt, it is assumed that the item was defective upon receipt, unless the nature of the item or defect excludes this. This period does not run while the buyer cannot use the item if the defect is rightfully claimed.
- 7.13. The buyer may claim a defect that appears within two years of receipt. For used goods, this period is shortened to one year.
- 7.14. If the buyer rightfully claims a defect, the above period does not run while the buyer cannot use the item.
- 7.15. Rights from defective performance do not apply if the buyer caused the defect.
- 7.16. The buyer shall indicate which right he chooses when reporting the defect, or immediately thereafter. The choice cannot be changed without the seller’s consent, except when the requested remedy is impossible.

- 7.18. The buyer may request a reasonable discount or withdraw from the contract if:
- a) the seller refused or failed to remove the defect in accordance with Sections 2170(1) and (2) of the Civil Code,
b) the defect reoccurs,
c) the defect constitutes a material breach, or
d) it is apparent from the seller’s statement or circumstances that the defect will not be removed within a reasonable time or without significant inconvenience. - 7.19. The reasonable discount is calculated as the difference between the value of the defect-free item and the defective item received.

- 7.26. The seller shall remove the defect within a reasonable time, minimizing inconvenience to the buyer.
- 7.27. The seller shall take over the goods at its own expense for the purpose of defect rectification. If dismantling of the goods is required, and the assembly was carried out in accordance with the nature and purpose of the goods prior to the manifestation of the defect, the seller shall perform the dismantling of the defective goods and the installation of the repaired or new goods, or reimburse the costs associated therewith.
- 7.28. The complaint, including the defect rectification, must be resolved and the buyer informed thereof no later than thirty (30) days from the date the complaint is submitted, unless the seller and the buyer agree on a longer period.

The running of these periods is conditional upon the buyer providing the seller with the necessary cooperation to resolve the complaint, in particular, allowing the seller to examine the goods under complaint.
- 7.29. If the buyer does not collect the goods within a reasonable period after being notified by the seller that the goods are ready for collection following repair, the seller is entitled to a storage fee of 0.1 percent of the value of the goods per day.

The seller must inform the buyer of this procedure in advance and provide a reasonable additional period for the collection of the goods.
- 7.30. If the buyer lodges a complaint regarding damaged goods from a set (i.e., multiple items in one package), it is generally sufficient to send the seller photographs or video of the goods believed to be defective, or only of the damaged part, not the entire set. This also applies if the product consists of multiple components and the buyer complains about only one part. The seller recommends sending the goods in the original packaging or otherwise suitably packed. Shipments of goods under complaint cannot be sent to the seller cash on delivery.
- 7.31. The seller is obliged to confirm to the buyer in writing the manner of handling the complaint and the time required for its resolution.7.32.

In the case of delivery by a carrier, the Buyer is further obliged to inspect the shipment and, in case of obvious damage to the packaging, to record the condition with the carrier and refuse to accept the shipment. If, despite this, the Buyer accepts the goods with damaged packaging, it shall be deemed that the Buyer has accepted all defects, and any subsequent complaints will not be considered.
- 7.44. The Buyer must submit any other defects in the delivered goods within five (5) days from the date on which a reasonably prudent person would have discovered them, within the warranty period set forth above.

In such a case, the Seller has the right to withdraw from the Agreement.
14. PRINCIPLES OF PERSONAL DATA PROCESSING
- 14.1. The Seller, as the Controller of Personal Data (hereinafter the "Controller"), ensures the protection of personal data of data subjects in accordance with applicable legislation, in particular Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council (hereinafter "GDPR").
- 14.2. These principles inform data subjects about which personal data are collected, for what purpose, how they are processed, and the rights of data subjects.
- A) Purposes, Scope and Legal Basis of Processing
- 14.3. The Controller processes personal data of data subjects for the proper performance of its obligations.
- 14.4. For the purpose of order processing, conclusion, and performance of the purchase agreement, the Controller processes identification and contact data of the customer, such as first name, last name, delivery and billing address, email, phone number, and, if applicable, company ID and VAT ID. The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR – performance of a contract.
- 14.5. For the purpose of fulfilling legal obligations, particularly in the areas of accounting and taxation, the Controller processes identification and contact data and order information. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(c) GDPR – compliance with a legal obligation.
- 14.6. For the purpose of handling complaints and customer requests, the Controller processes identification and contact data and purchase history. This processing is based on contract performance (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and on the Controller’s legitimate interest in protecting its legal claims (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
- 14.7. Based on its legitimate interest in improving services (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), the Controller may share the customer’s email address and purchased product information with the operator of the heureka.cz portal for the purpose of sending a satisfaction survey within the “Verified by Customers” program. The data subject may refuse to receive such surveys at any time.
- 14.8. For the purpose of sending commercial communications (newsletters) regarding news and special offers, the Controller processes the data subject’s email address. This processing is possible only on the basis of the data subject’s voluntary and demonstrable consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), which can be withdrawn at any time.
- 14.9. Providing personal data for the purpose of contract performance and legal compliance is a contractual and statutory requirement. Without providing such data, the contract cannot be concluded and the order cannot be properly processed.
B) Retention Period of Personal Data
- 14.10. The Controller retains personal data only for as long as necessary for the given purposes. For the purposes of contract performance and protection of legal claims, the data are kept for the duration of the contractual relationship and for the duration of statutory limitation periods (typically 3 years). Data processed for legal obligations (e.g., tax documents) are kept for the period specified by relevant laws (typically 10 years). Data processed on the basis of consent are kept until such consent is withdrawn by the data subject.
C) Recipients of Personal Data
- 14.11. Verified partners of the Controller (so-called processors), who provide partial services on behalf of the Controller, may have access to personal data. This includes, in particular:
Delivery companies (for order delivery)
Payment gateway providers (for payment processing)
heureka.cz portal operators (for satisfaction surveys)
IT, server, and marketing service providers (for e-shop operation and related systems)
Accounting and tax advisors
- 14.12. The Controller has concluded data processing agreements with all these processors, which obligate them to protect personal data in accordance with GDPR. The Controller does not transfer personal data to third countries outside the EU unless an adequate level of protection is ensured.
D) Recording of Phone Calls
- 14.13. With prior knowledge and consent of the data subject, the Controller may record telephone calls on its customer line to improve services and for the purpose of contract performance. The data subject is always clearly informed at the beginning of the call that it will be recorded. If the data subject does not agree to the recording, they may terminate the call and contact the Controller by other means (e.g., email). By continuing the call after this notice, the data subject consents to its recording.
E) Rights of Data Subjects
- 14.14. In connection with the processing of personal data, the data subject has the following rights:

- Right to rectification: If the data are inaccurate, the data subject has the right to correct them.

- 14.15. The data subject may exercise their rights via the Controller’s contact email listed in the header of these Terms and Conditions.
- 14.16. The Controller has not appointed a Data Protection Officer, as its activities do not require one under GDPR. No automated decision-making occurs in the legal sense. The Controller may update these Principles from time to time. The current version will always be available on the Controller’s website.
15. SENDING COMMERCIAL COMMUNICATIONS AND COOKIE STORAGE
- 15.1. The Buyer consents to receiving information related to the Seller’s goods, services, or business at the Buyer’s email address, via SMS to the Buyer’s phone number, and further consents to receiving commercial communications from the Seller at the Buyer’s email address.

17. FINAL PROVISIONS
- 17.1. If a relationship governed by the purchase contract contains an international (foreign) element, the Parties agree that the relationship shall be governed by Czech law. The choice of law pursuant to the preceding sentence does not deprive the Buyer, if acting as a consumer, of the protection provided by provisions of the legal system from which it is not possible to contractually deviate, and which would otherwise apply in the absence of a choice of law under Article 6(1) of Regulation (EC) No 593/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 on the law applicable to contractual obligations (Rome I).
- 17.2. These Terms and Conditions shall enter into force on the date of their publication and shall apply in their respective wording to all orders placed on or after that date. The Seller reserves the right to amend these Terms and Conditions. The new wording of the Terms and Conditions will be published on the Seller’s website. On the date of their publication, the previous Terms and Conditions shall cease to apply; however, this does not affect purchase contracts concluded under the previous wording of the Terms and Conditions (see the first sentence of this paragraph).
- 17.3. Special arrangements with the Customer made in the purchase contract shall take precedence over the provisions of these Terms and Conditions that would conflict with them.
- 17.4. Pursuant to Act No. 185/2001 Coll., on Waste, as amended, the Seller allows free take-back of electrical appliances without the need to purchase a new electrical device within the framework of online sales at the place of delivery (in accordance with § 37k(4)(a) of the Waste Act).
- 17.5. If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is invalid or ineffective, or becomes so, the invalid provision shall be replaced by a provision whose meaning most closely approximates that of the invalid provision.
