Complaint Procedure

 

  1. The Buyer makes the complaint in writing to the Seller’s address or via e-mail at info@brilliantcoco.com in the statutory warranty period of 24 months unless the law provides for another warranty period or unless otherwise agreed and begins to flow by taking over the goods by the Buyer. The Buyer is obliged at the same time to fill out a claim form placed at the end of these Terms and Conditions.
  2. When making a complaint, the Buyer is obliged to send the original of the tax document (invoice) to the Seller together with the goods claimed. The Seller does not take over the claimed goods sent by the Buyer for a cash on delivery. The goods must be properly packed so that the goods are not damaged during transport and we recommend the goods to be sent as a registered and insured item.
  3. The Buyer is obliged to provide all the required information when making a complaint truthfully, particularly to precisely identify the type and extent of the defects of the goods. These defects must be clearly photographed by the Buyer and sent to the above e-mail address.
  4. The Seller is responsible for any defects detected on the goods sold at the Buyer’s take over and for the defects that occur after the goods are taken over and used during the warranty period.
  5. The seller is not responsible for defects caused in particular by the following use: mechanical damage, inevitable event (natural disaster, misconduct), use in contravention of the instructions for use and the usual way of use, in special cases, if it results from the nature of the case, by the intervention of an unauthorized person, including the user, or by any other inappropriate intervention, the use of the goods under conditions which do not correspond to their humidity, chemical and mechanical nature, the neglect of care and the maintenance of the goods (download: Manuals and Maintenance Instructions), damaging the goods with excessive load, using the goods in contravention of the conditions stated in the documentation, general principles, technical standards or safety regulations or other breach of warranty conditions.
  6. The seller will determine how the claim will be processed immediately, in complex cases no later than 3 business days from the date of submitting the complaint, in justified cases, in particular if a complex technical recovery of the goods is required, within 30 days from the day making a complaint, and subsequently clear the complaint within a time limit that may not be longer than 30 days after the complaint is made. The Buyer will be informed about the complaint resolution by telephone, in writing or by e-mail. Resolving the claim takes no more than 30 days from the date of delivery of the goods to the Seller, unless otherwise agreed.
  7. In the case of a complaint made within 12 months of the purchase of the product, the Seller may only reject the claim by denying it based on expert judgment. If the Seller rejects a complaint made after 12 months of purchase of the product, the Seller is required to inform the Buyer of who can he send the product for expert judgment. Expert judgment means, inter alia, the opinion of an authorized person or person authorized by a manufacturer to perform warranty repairs. If the product is sent for expert judgment to the designated person, the costs of the expert judgment as well as all other related expense incurred shall be borne by the Seller irrespective of the outcome of the expert judgment.
  8. If this is a defect that can be removed, the Buyer has the right to get it removed free of charge, timely and properly. The Buyer decides how to remedy the defect and must remove the defect without undue delay. If there is a defect that cannot be removed and prevents the thing from being properly used as a defectless thing, the Buyer has the right to exchange the item or has the right to withdraw from the Purchase Contract. The same rights apply to the Buyer if there are removable defects, but the buyer can not properly use the item for recurring defects or for a greater number of defects. Re-occurrence of defects means that the same defect, which has been removed at least twice in the warranty period, is still repeated. We speak of greater number of defects when the goods at the same time have at least three removable defects, each of which defeats the proper use of the goods. The Buyer may request replacement of the goods instead of removing the defect, or if the defect relates only to the part of the goods, the replacement of this part, if the Seller do not incur disproportionate costs with respect to the price of the goods or the severity of the defect. In the case of an unrecoverable defect that does not prevent the proper use of the goods, the Buyer has the right to a reasonable discount on the price of the goods.
  9.  If the Buyer has the right to exchange the goods or the right to withdraw from the contract, it is up to the Buyer which one of these rights he wants to claim. But once he chooses one of these rights, he cannot change this choice unilaterally.
  10. The seller is obliged to resolve the complaint and to terminate the complaint procedure in one of the following ways: a) handing over the repaired goods b) replacement of the goods c) returning the purchase price of the goods d) payment of an appropriate discount on the price of the goods e) a written call for takeover of the performance requested by the Seller (f) a reasoned rejection of the complaint.
