a) SOL-EXPERT - Christian Repky guarantees that the purchase item is free from defects at the time of transfer.

b) If the purchase item is defective at the time of transfer, the purchase has the choice of whether subsequent fulfilment should take place through improvement or replacement delivery.

c) If the subsequent fulfilment is unsuccessful, the purchaser can basically demand a reduction of the purchase price (reduction) or cancellation of the contract (withdrawal) as well as compensation for damages. In the case of only minor defects the purchaser is not entitled to a right of withdrawal.

In this case the full burden of evidence for all claim requirements applies for the purchaser, especially for the defect itself, for the time of discovery of the defect and for the timeliness of the notification of defects.

9 Limitation of liability

(1) For the occurrence damages other than due to the injury of the life, limb and health, SOL-EXPERT - Christian Repky is only liable to the extent that said damages are based of intentional or grossly negligent action or on culpable breach of a significant contractual duty by SOL-EXPERT - Christian Repky or its vicarious agents. Essential to the contract is a duty which must be fulfilled in order to enable the proper implementation of the contract and the adherence of which the purchaser can normally trust.
