11. LIABILITY FOR MATERIAL DEFICIENCIES

In case of material defects of the Product, VALAMAR is responsible for them pursuant to the Civil Obligations Law.

Every Buyer has the right to complain about the delivery of the wrong product, the delivery of a product that has expired, or if the goods were delivered with a defect or damage and other similar cases.

VALAMAR is not liable for defects if they were known to the buyer at the time of concluding the contract or could not remain unknown to him.

If a material defect should arise on the goods within one year from the day of passing of risk to the Buyer/consumer, with the trader arguing that the defect did not exist at that time, the expert opinion survey fees shall be advanced by the trader and ultimately settled by either the trader or the consumer, depending on the expert report. If a material defect should arise on the goods after one year has passed, but no later than two years from the day of passing of risk to the Buyer/consumer, the expert opinion survey fees shall be advanced by the consumer and ultimately settled by either the trader or the consumer, depending on the expert report.

The Buyer/the Consumer is obliged to inform the Seller about the existence of defects within two months from the day when he discovered the defect, and no later than within two years from the transfer of risk to the consumer.

The Buyer may send a complaint (related to the product or dissatisfaction with the Seller's service) to the address prigovori.raskidi@valfresco.com or send it by post to the address Valamar Riviera d.d., Stancija Kaligari 1, Poreč, marked "Valfresco Direkt" or by phone at +385 52 465 100. In the complaint, we ask the Buyers to state the order or invoice number and the description of the complaint, so that the Seller can react to the complaint as quickly as possible. If these are products that have expired or are unusable for any other reason, we ask Buyers to send pictures of the expiration date or the entire Product.

The Buyer who has timely and duly notified the Seller of the defect and it is determined that the complaint is justified, has rights under the Civil Obligations Act, including the right to unilateral termination of the contract with refund or replacement for the correct product.

In this case, the return of Products that are incorrectly delivered, damaged or unusable is made at the expense of the Seller, as well as the cost of replacing the product.

If a notice of defect was communicated by the buyer to the seller in a timely manner and in a reliable way, and if the claim is found to be justified, the buyer shall have all the rights under the Civil Obligations Act: request that the defect be eliminated by the seller, request from the seller delivery of another thing without defects, request a proportionate price reduction, or declare the contract cancelled (unless the Seller proves that the defect is insignificant) all under the terms of the Civil Obligations Act. In any case, the Buyer shall also be entitled to a unilateral termination in accordance with the Consumer Protection Act.

This applies to all products from the Valfresco Direkt web store that are stored and delivered in accordance with the declared storage conditions, i.e. the manufacturer's recommendation.

The Buyer/Customer is not entitled to a return of an expired product that has been delivered with a valid shelf life, as well as a product with a valid shelf life if it is open and meets health safety standards.

12. BUYER - CONSUMER RIGHT TO UNILATERAL CONTRACT TERMINATION

The Seller shall refund the amount paid for the purchase after receiving the goods, in the same way as the goods were paid for. The product must be returned in its original packaging, unused and undamaged, along with the original invoice.
