Exclusions
For items sold at a lower price, the seller is not responsible for a defect for which a lower price were negotiated.
The seller is not responsible for change in quality of the goods that did not occur during a normal use of the goods. The seller is especially not responsible for changing the quality of the goods resulting from: wear-out that does not prevent to use the goods for the purpose it is intended for, misuse, inadequate or inappropriate care, natural change in materials from which the goods are made, mechanical damage, damage by natural elements or force majeure.
Warranty
The seller is liable for defects of the goods that occur after it is taken during the warranty period. The warranty period is 24 months from the date of receipt of the goods by the customer. The proof of purchase (invoice) serves as a certificate of guarantee (certificate of warranty).
Complaints Procedure
The goods must be claimed in the warranty period, otherwise the right from liability for defects expires.
The customer is obliged to claim the goods immediately after the goods are found to be defective, to cease to use the goods and to preserve it in such a way that there is no deterioration of the defect or other damage to the goods until the goods are sent to the seller within the frame of the complaint. Any damage to the goods due to breach of duty can not be considered a fault for which the seller is responsible for.
Complaints may be lodged by the customer in written form by post or by e-mail addressed to the seller’s contact details above, together with the dispatch of the goods to the seller’s postal address so that the seller can investigate the defect under complaint.
Such a notice (“the claim”) must include at least the following details: customer details, date and order number, date of receipt, description of the goods and defect claimed, the required method of the claim – see “the claim settlement” below). A copy of the proof of purchase must be attached to the claim and if it is a recurrence of the same defect, a copy of the proof of original claim must be likewise attached (in the case of the consumer, unless the purchase of the goods and the circumstances of the previous complaint prove otherwise).
Returned goods must be delivered to the seller complete and clean. Otherwise, especially if the complaint procedure will be hindered by the general hygiene principles, the seller will return the goods back to the customer at the expense of the customer without investigating the claimed defect, and such claim will be considered the non-applied claim. The customer bears responsibility for any damage to the goods during transportation.
Any claim that does not contain all the required data, documents and complete claimed goods under the conditions set forth above is considered the non-applied claim.
The seller is required to issue a confirmation of the lodged claim to the customer who is a consumer.
Postage necessary to deliver the goods to the seller or other necessary costs associated with the claim are paid by the customer. If the claim is legitimate, that is, if the claimed goods have a defect for which the seller is responsible for, we will pay you the costs of claiming the claim. For this purpose, we kindly request you to send us the confirmation of spent expenses (postal payment confirmation) together with the complaint.
Claim Settlement
If the customer is a consumer, the complaint will be processed within 30 days of claiming the complaint.
The claim is considered handled once the complaint procedure is terminated by handing over the goods, returning the purchase price of the goods, paying a reasonable discount on the price of the goods or by a written request for acceptance or a reasoned refusal.
The seller will send a written proof of the complaint to the customer who is a consumer within 30 days of its claiming.
If the customer is a consumer and claimed the complaint for the goods during the first 12 months of purchase, the seller accepts the goods or handles the goods for expert judgment. Expert judgment is conducted at the expense of the seller. The consumer is obliged to accept the result of a professional judgment.
If a customer is a consumer and claimed for goods after 12 months of purchase, the seller accepts or rejects the claim based on his own judgment. If a complaint is denied, the seller will notify the consumer to whom he can send the product for expert judgment. The consumer may reapply the claim only if the consumer, by expert judgment, demonstrates the seller’s liability for a defect.
The seller may submit the goods claimed by the customer which is an entrepreneur for an expert judgment as defined in Act no. 250/2007 coll. of Consumer Protection Act as amended. The customer incurs liability to accept the result of the expert judgment. If it shows that the seller is not responsible for the claimed defect, the customer is obliged to compensate the seller for such expert judgment.
If the seller admits the claim, the customer has the following rights
- Customer’s Rights for Removable Defect:
- If the goods have a defect that can be removed, the customer has the right to remove the defect for free, timely and properly. If it does not incur excessive costs to the seller in relation to the price of the goods or the seriousness of the defect, the customer may instead require an exchange of goods. Instead of removing the defect, the seller may always replace the defective item as free from defects if it does not cause serious difficulties to the buyer. If the customer can not properly use the goods due to higher number of defects or recurrence of defects, he/she has the right to withdraw from the contract. If the customer so requests, the seller may instead provide the customer with a reasonable discount on the price of the goods.
- Customer’s Rights for Non-Removable Defects:
- If the goods have a defect that can not be removed, the customer has the right to have an appropriate discount on the price of the goods. Nevertheless, if some non-removable defect prevents the goods from being properly used as a non-defective thing, the buyer has the right to exchange the goods or to withdraw from the contract.
Goods Exchange
New warranty period begins to run from the time of the new goods are taken.
Repair of Goods
The time from claiming liability for defects (from the receipt of the complaint) until the customer is required to take the goods after the repair has been completed, is not counted into the warranty period.
Discount from Purchase Price
If the seller handles a claim by providing a discount on the purchase price, the seller will determine the amount depending on the value of the goods and the extent of the defect. The customer has the right to interest or the right to withhold the purchase price (or a part of it) due to the right to a discount from the purchase price in terms of § 439 par. 1 and 2 of Commercial Code.
Return of Goods
Once the claim is handled, the seller delivers the goods (original, repaired or exchanged, depending on how the claim is handled) to the customer at the address given at his own expense. If the seller handles the claim by returning the purchase price, the goods are not returned to the customer.
In the case of claiming the goods that can not be settled because the customer did not meet the conditions of the claim (especially if he/she sent the goods in a dirty state) or repeatedly unwarranted claim of the same defect (after the complaint is properly settled and no new circumstances are present) the customer is obliged to refund the seller for the delivery of the goods back to the customer.
If the customer fails to take the goods, the seller has the right to charge the customer a storage fee of 15 EUR.
In the case of an unsatisfactory complaint procedure, the purchaser-consumer has the right to contact the seller with a request for redress (by email to info@genesestudio.com) if he/she is not satisfied with the seller’s handling of his claim or if he believes the seller violated his rights.

The Alternative Dispute Resolution only concerns a dispute between the consumer and the seller either resulting from a consumer contract or a dispute related to a consumer contract. The Alternative Dispute Resolution applies only to long distance contracts. The Alternative Dispute Resolution does not deal with disputes where the value of the dispute does not exceed 20 EUR. The ADR may require the consumer to charge a fee for starting the Alternative Dispute Resolution up to a maximum of 5 EUR with VAT.

due to the so-called force majeure, that is an obstacle which occurs independently of the seller´s will and prevents him/her from fulfilling his obligation, if one can not reasonably assume that the seller would avoid or overcome this obstacle or its consequences and that he/she would foresee such an obstacle at the time of a hindrance occurrence.
