Art. 8 COMPLAINT PROCEDURE
- The provisions in this article concerning the Consumer apply to a natural person entering into a contract not directly related to their business activity when it is clear from the contract that it does not have a professional character for that person, particularly with respect to the subject of the business activity disclosed under the regulations on the Central Register and Information on Economic Activity.

- their description, type, quantity, quality, completeness, and functionality;
- their suitability for the particular purpose for which the consumer requires them, as communicated to the entrepreneur no later than at the time of contract conclusion and accepted by the entrepreneur.

- be suitable for the purposes for which goods of that kind are generally used, taking into account applicable legal regulations, technical standards, or good practices;
- be available in such quantity and possess such features—including durability and safety—that are typical for goods of that kind and that the consumer can reasonably expect, given the nature of the goods and the public assurance provided by the entrepreneur, their legal predecessors, or persons acting on their behalf (in particular, in advertising or on the label), unless the entrepreneur proves that:
- a) they were unaware of the public assurance and, upon reasonable assessment, could not have known about it;
- b) prior to the contract conclusion the public assurance was corrected under the same conditions and in the same form as originally provided, or in a comparable manner;
- c) the public assurance did not influence the consumer's decision to conclude the contract;
- be delivered with packaging, accessories, and instructions that the consumer can reasonably expect;
- be of the same quality as a sample or model that the Seller provided to the consumer prior to contract conclusion, and correspond to the description of such sample or model.
- The Seller shall not be held liable for a lack of conformity in the aspects mentioned in points 3 or 4 if the consumer was clearly informed—no later than at the time of contract conclusion—that a specific feature of the goods deviated from the conformity requirements specified in points 3 or 4, and expressly and separately accepted the absence of that particular feature.
- The Seller is liable for any non-conformity of the goods that exists at the time of delivery and is discovered within two years from that time, unless the expiration date for the use of the goods, as determined by the Seller, their legal predecessors, or persons acting on their behalf, is longer.
- If the goods are non-conforming, the consumer may request their repair or replacement.
- The Seller may replace the goods when the consumer requests a repair, or repair the goods when the consumer requests a replacement, if bringing the goods into conformity in the manner chosen by the consumer is impossible or would incur excessive costs for the entrepreneur. If both repair and replacement are impossible or would incur excessive costs for the Seller, the Seller may refuse to bring the goods into conformity with the contract.
- The Seller shall perform the repair or replacement within a reasonable time from the moment the consumer notifies the Seller of the non-conformity, and without undue inconvenience to the consumer, taking into account the nature of the goods and the purpose for which they were purchased.

- The consumer shall provide the goods subject to repair or replacement to the Seller, who will collect the goods from the consumer at its own expense.
- The consumer is not obliged to pay for the normal use of goods that have subsequently been replaced.
- If the goods are non-conforming, the consumer may submit a statement for a price reduction or withdrawal from the contract if:
- a) the Seller refused to bring the goods into conformity in accordance with point 8;
- b) the Seller did not bring the goods into conformity in accordance with points 9 and 10;
- c) the non-conformity persists despite the Seller's attempts to remedy it;
- d) the non-conformity is so significant that it justifies a price reduction or withdrawal from the contract without first resorting to the remedies specified in points 7–10 of these Regulations;
- e) it is evident from the Seller’s statement or the circumstances that the Seller will not bring the goods into conformity within a reasonable time or without undue inconvenience to the consumer.
- The reduced price must be proportional to the original contract price in the same ratio as the value of the non-conforming goods to the value of the conforming goods.
- The Seller shall refund to the consumer the amounts due as a result of the price reduction without undue delay and no later than 14 days from the day of receiving the consumer's statement regarding the price reduction.
- The consumer cannot withdraw from the contract if the non-conformity of the goods is minor. It is presumed that the non-conformity is significant.
- If the non-conformity pertains only to some of the goods delivered under the contract, the consumer may withdraw from the contract only with respect to those goods, as well as in relation to other goods purchased together with the non-conforming goods, if it is not reasonable to expect that the consumer agrees to keep only the conforming goods.
- In the event of withdrawal from the contract, the consumer shall immediately return the goods to the entrepreneur at the entrepreneur’s expense. The Seller shall refund the consumer the price without undue delay and no later than 14 days from the day of receiving the goods or proof of their return.
- The Seller shall refund the price using the same method of payment as that used by the consumer for the initial payment, unless the consumer has expressly agreed to a different method that does not incur any costs for the consumer.
- To exercise the right to complain, the User must return the complained-of goods together with a letter specifying the type of non-conformity at the Seller’s expense to the address: KBH Akord Sp. z o.o., Sikorki 21, 31-589 Kraków, and send a statement via email to pv@kbhakord.pl.
