The Buyer, or its authorised representative, is obliged to confirm the receipt of the Goods to the Seller by indicating his or her name, surname, date of birth and signature on the delivery note so that the Seller is able to uniquely identify the person who took over the Goods. In the event of doubt as to the authority of a person to accept the delivery of the Goods on behalf of the Buyer, the Buyer shall promptly confirm, at the request of the Seller or the carrier, that the relevant person is authorised to accept the delivery of the Goods on behalf of the Buyer and the Seller or the carrier shall not be obliged to deliver the Goods to the Buyer until such confirmation has been made. In the event of the Buyer's delay in accepting the Goods, the Seller shall be entitled to a contractual penalty of 1% of the Purchase Price for each day of delay.

Any defects shall be recorded by the Buyer in the complaint report or in the shipping document. This record must be confirmed and signed by the Buyer and the carrier (or the driver).

The Buyer is obliged to reimburse to the Seller the Purchase Price in full, regardless of the Seller's exercise of its rights under the preceding sentence. The provisions of paragraph 4.4 of these GTC shall apply in such case similarly in relation to additional costs incurred by the Seller for the purpose of exercising the Seller's entitlement under the first sentence of this paragraph.
4.8.       Delivery of Larger Quantities of Goods

The Seller shall be liable solely (i) for defects in materials, functional defects or manufacturing defects existing at the time the risk of damage to the Goods passes to the Buyer or arising during the Warranty Period, or (ii) for defects caused by the Seller's breach of duty, the Seller's intentional conduct or the Seller's gross negligence.

In the event of any defect in the Goods, the Buyer shall be entitled in the first instance, at its discretion, to have the defect remedied by (a) repair of the defective Goods, (b) delivery of replacement Goods without defect or (c) delivery of the missing Goods. Only if (i) the Seller fails to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time from the date of the exercise of the Buyer's rights under the preceding sentence (including the choice of remedy) or (ii) the Seller notifies the Buyer that it will not remedy the defect, the Buyer shall have the right, at its option, to demand a reasonable discount on the Purchase Price in lieu of remedying the defect or may withdraw from the Agreement.
6.7.       Exercise of Rights Arising from Defective Performance
The Buyer is obliged to exercise the rights from the defective performance by notifying the Seller of the defect, providing the Seller with the documents required under paragraph 6.8. of these GTC and informing the Seller of the choice of the method of elimination of the defect within a period of time without undue delay after the relevant defect could have been detected by the Buyer with sufficient care, but no later than the expiration of the Warranty Period. The Buyer shall be obliged to claim the defect consisting in delivery of a smaller quantity of Goods from the Seller within 5 days after receipt of the Goods. In the event of missing the deadline for exercising the rights from defective performance according to the previous sentence, the Buyer shall lose any rights from defective performance. If the Buyer notifies the Seller of the defect within the time limit according to the first sentence and provides the Seller with the documents required according to paragraph 6.8. of these GTC, but does not inform the Seller of the choice of the method of defect removal, the Buyer does not forfeit the right of defective performance, but the Seller is entitled to choose the method of defect removal at its discretion. The exercise of rights from defective performance shall not have a suspensive effect on the Buyer's obligation to pay the Purchase Price in full within the time limit pursuant to paragraph 3.4. of these GTC.
6.8.       Documents for Exercise or Rights Arising from Defective Performance
As part of the notification of the defect, the Buyer is obliged to provide the Seller with:
