- the goods are fit for the purpose for which the Buyer requires them and to which the Seller has agreed; and
- the goods are delivered with the agreed accessories and instructions for use.
- Unless the Seller specifically informs the Buyer, prior to the conclusion of the Purchase Agreement, that a particular characteristic of the goods differs, and the Buyer does not give their express consent to this, the Seller shall be liable to the Buyer, in addition to the agreed characteristics within the meaning of Article 2.1, to ensure that the goods:
- are fit for the purpose for which goods of this kind are normally used, taking into account the rights of third parties, legislation, technical standards or codes of conduct applicable to the sector in question, where no technical standards exist;

The Seller shall not be bound by a public statement as referred to in the preceding sentence if the Seller proves that they were not aware of such a statement, or that at the time the contract of sale was concluded it had been amended in a manner at least comparable to that in which it had been made, or that it could not have influenced the decision to purchase;

- If the goods are defective, the Buyer may demand that the defect be remedied. At their discretion, they may request the supply of a new item free from defects or the repair of the item, unless the chosen method of remedying the defect is impossible or disproportionately costly compared to the other; this shall be assessed in particular with regard to the significance of the defect, the value the item would have had in the absence of the defect, and whether the defect can be remedied by the other method without significant inconvenience to the Buyer.
- The Seller may refuse to remedy the defect if this is impossible or disproportionately costly, in particular having regard to the significance of the defect and the value that the thing would have had in the absence of the defect.

If this requires the dismantling of an item which had been installed in accordance with its nature and purpose before the defect became apparent, the Seller shall dismantle the defective item and install the repaired or new item, or shall reimburse the costs associated with this.

The Seller is entitled to ask the Buyer to provide additional details necessary to identify the returned parcel, in particular the order number, date of dispatch or posting/tracking number, if this is necessary to verify that the returned goods have been dispatched.

- The Buyer shall have the right to lodge a complaint with the Seller at any of the Seller’s premises where complaints can be accepted in view of the range of goods sold, or at the Seller’s registered office; however, if another person has been designated to carry out the repair, and that person is located at the Seller’s premises or at a location closer to the Buyer, the Buyer shall report the defect to the person designated to carry out the repair.

The Buyer is obliged to prove that they are entitled to lodge a complaint, in particular by providing evidence of the date of purchase, either by presenting a sales receipt, a warranty certificate or by other credible means.
- Complaints are handled on behalf of the Seller by ReturnGo Ltd., which has been authorised by the Seller to manage the complaints process via a dedicated complaints portal. All communication with the customer as part of the complaints procedure takes place via the email address shop@oktagonmma.cz. This does not affect the consumer’s rights to lodge a complaint with the Seller in accordance with Article 3.2 above.

- Complaints, including the remedying of the defect, must be resolved and the consumer must be informed of the outcome no later than thirty (30) days from the date the complaint was lodged, unless the Seller and the Buyer agree on a longer period.

- The Seller is obliged to provide the consumer with confirmation of the date and manner in which the complaint has been handled, including confirmation that the repair has been carried out and the time taken to do so, or, where applicable, a written explanation of the reasons for rejecting the complaint.
- Where the Buyer is not a consumer, the time limit set out in Article 3.5 of this Complaints Procedure shall not apply; however, the Seller undertakes to resolve complaints as quickly as possible, taking into account the expert assessment of the goods by the Seller or the manufacturer.
