3. For the purposes of this Information, the subject of a complaint means the goods under the concluded purchase contract.
B Takeover of the goods
1. The Buyer shall inspect the goods with due care upon takeover of the goods. If the Buyer discovers defects in the goods, he shall claim the defects without undue delay after the defect is discovered or after the defect manifests itself. A delay with claiming a defect, as the case may be, may cause deterioration in value of the goods and may be a ground for rejecting the complaint. If the Buyer fails to carry out the inspection immediately after the risk of loss to the thing having passed on him, he may claim his right from defects only if he proves beyond a reasonable doubt that the defects were present in the goods already at the time of passage of the risk of loss.
C Quality of the goods upon takeover and the Company’s liability for defects in the goods
1. Pursuant to Section 2095 of CC, the Company shall deliver the goods to the Buyer in the agreed quantity, quality and according to agreed specifications. If quality and specifications are not agreed on, the Company shall perform in a quality and according to specifications fit for the purpose arising from the contract, otherwise for purposes such goods are ordinarily used.
2. Pursuant to Section 2161(1) of CC, the Company warrants to the Buyer that the goods are free of defects and namely that on receipt of the goods by the Buyer:
- the goods possess characteristics agreed by the parties in the purchase contract and, in the absence of such agreement, characteristics described by the Company or manufacturer, or characteristics expected by the Buyer with regard to the nature of the goods;
- the goods are fit for the purpose stated by the Company or for purposes such goods are ordinarily used;
- the goods are of satisfactory quality or match the agreed sample or model, if quality or specifications were agreed based on an agreed sample or model;
- the goods are in quantity, size or weight as specified in the purchase contract;
- the goods comply with legal regulations.
3. If a defect occurs within six months of delivery, the goods shall be considered defective already at the time of its delivery.
4. The Buyer may exercise the right from defects in consumer goods within twenty-four months of the goods delivery. If the goods, its packaging, instructions for use attached to the goods or an advertisement according to other legal regulations display the goods useful life, the provisions on quality warranty shall apply. The provisions of this Section shall not apply to:
- a defect in the goods sold at a lower price due to the defect for which the lower price was agreed;
- wear and tear of the goods caused by its normal use;
- to a defect in used goods corresponding to the extent of the use of the goods or its wear and tear upon taking delivery by the Buyer; or
- if it follows from the nature of the goods.
D Rights from defective performance
1. The goods are considered defective if they do not possess characteristics specified in Section C(1) of this Article, or if the Company delivers the wrong goods. Defects in documents necessary for the use of the goods are also considered as a defect.
2. Pursuant to Section 2106 of CC, if a defective performance constitutes a fundamental breach of contract, the Buyer has the right to:
a) removal of the defect by delivery of a new defect-free thing or by delivery of a missing thing;
b) removal of the defect by means of repair of the thing;
c) a reasonable reduction of the purchase price; or
d) withdraw from the contract.
The Buyer shall notify the Company of the right he has chosen upon the defect notification or without undue delay after the defect notification. The Buyer may only change the choice made with the Company’s consent; this shall not apply if the Buyer demanded a repair of a defect that proves to be irreparable. If the Company fails to remove the defects within a reasonable time-limit or notifies the Buyer that it will not remove the defects, the Buyer may, instead of having the defects removed, demand a reasonable reduction of the purchase price or withdraw from the contract. If the Buyer fails to make his choice of right in time, he shall have the rights specified in the following Section of this Article.
3. If the defective performance constitutes a non-fundamental breach of contract, the Buyer has a right to the defect removal or to a reasonable reduction of the purchase price. Until the Buyer asserts his right to a reduction of the purchase price or withdraws from the contract, the Company may deliver any missing part of the goods or remove a legal defect. The Company may remove other defects by repairing the thing or by delivering a new thing; the choice must not cause the Buyer to incur unreasonable expenses. If the Company fails to remove a defect in a thing timely or refuses to remove the defect, the Buyer may request a reduction of the purchase price or withdraw from the contract. The Buyer may only change the choice made with the Company’s consent.
4. The Buyer may not withdraw from the contract or demand delivery of a new thing if he cannot return the thing in the same condition in which he received it. This shall not apply if:
a) a change in the condition occurred as a result of an inspection carried out to find a defect in the thing;
b) the Buyer used the thing before the defect was discovered;
c) the Buyer did not cause the impossibility to return the thing in the same condition by his actions or omission; or
b) the Buyer sold the thing before the defect discovery, consumed it or altered the thing in the course of its normal use; if it occurred only partially, the Buyer shall return to the Company what he can still return and shall compensate the Company in the amount of the benefit he enjoyed as a result of the use of the thing.
5. If the Buyer fails to notify a defect in a thing timely, he shall lose the right of withdrawal from the contract.
6. If the goods do not possess characteristics specified in Section C(2) upon their receipt by the Buyer, the Buyer has also the right to delivery of new defect-free goods, unless it being unreasonable in view of the nature of the defect. If the defect occurs only in a part of the goods, the Buyer may request replacement of only such part; if it is impossible, the Buyer may withdraw from the purchase contract and claim full refund of the purchase price. However, if it is inadequate in view of the nature of the defect, namely if the defect can be removed without undue delay, the Buyer has a right to have the defect removed gratuitously. The Buyer has a right to delivery of new goods or replacement of a defective part of the goods also in case of an irremovable defect to the extent that the Buyer cannot properly use the goods due to recurring defects after a repair or due to multiple defects. In such case, the Buyer has also the right to withdraw from the contract.
7. If the Buyer has not withdrawn from the purchase contract or has not asserted the right to delivery of new defect-free goods, replacement of the defective parts of the goods or a repair, he may claim reasonable reduction of the purchase price. The Buyer has a right to a reasonable reduction of the purchase price also where the Company is unable to deliver to the Buyer new defect-free goods, replace the defective part of the goods or repair the goods, as well as where the Company fails to provide for a remedy within a reasonable period of time or where such remedy would cause the Buyer substantial difficulties.
8. If the goods have a defect which creates an obligation for the Company and if it involves goods sold for a lower price or used goods, the Buyer has the right to a reasonable price reduction instead of the right to have the goods replaced.
9. The Buyer may not assert the right from defective performance if the Buyer was aware of the goods having a defect prior to taking delivery of the goods, or if the Buyer himself caused the defect.
E Place and manner of complaint handling
1. Rights arising from a defect may be asserted in writing with the Company, namely using the form available at the Company’s website (see the link here), or in person at the Company’s address where complaints and requests for replacement of the goods can be lodged: Malotova 123, Zlín 760 01, Czech Republic, or via email at: info@woolville.com (any of the above methods shall be hereinafter referred to as “making the complaint”). If the Buyer made a complaint, the Company shall without delay issue a written confirmation to the Buyer stating the date when the right to a complaint was asserted, description of the claimed defect and the manner of and deadline for the complaint settlement.
2. The Buyer may evidence the purchase of the goods by a purchase contract, hand-over report or delivery note, which prove that the claimed goods were delivered by the Company, and/or in any other credible manner.

2. The Company shall resolve a complaint without undue delay, however, latest within 30 calendar days of the date of making the complaint. In view of the Company’s complaint evaluation technology procedure, the Company and the Buyer have agreed that this time-limit may be extended by another 30 calendar days. Expiry of the time-limit shall be regarded as a fundamental breach of contract.
3. The Company and the Buyer have further agreed on extension of the above time-limits by a necessary period of time in cases when:
a) in view of the nature of the defect, or the place where it occurred, it is impossible to safely perform all measures aimed at settling the legitimate claim (other work is carried out at the place where the defect occurred, which prevent meeting the deadline etc.);
b) the Buyer fails to provide cooperation and it is impossible to perform all measures aimed at settling the legitimate defect claim, or the Buyer fails to provide access to premises where the works aimed at removing the defect are to be carried out;
c) it is impossible to start performing the measures within the complaint procedure due to unforeseeable Force Majeure circumstances.
In such cases when all necessary measures within the complaint handling procedure cannot be performed, the Company shall not be regarded in delay with the complaint settling and such period of time shall not be counted in the above deadlines.
4. A complaint resolution involves also notification of the Buyer about the outcome of the complaint procedure. The Company shall, therefore, notify the Buyer within a statutory period (unless a longer period has been agreed) about the manner of the complaint resolution. The Company may use any technical means and form for such notification (email, telephone, SMS etc.).
5. The Buyer may only change the chosen manner of complaint resolution with the Company’s consent, except for situations when the manner of complaint resolution chosen by the Buyer is impossible to implement at all or cannot be implemented in time.
