General provisions

• The Return policy is a document defining the basic terms and conditions for returning goods, defining relationships and rules for repairs.
• This Return policy is an integral part of the Seller’s General terms and conditions and defines the Buyer’s rights in accordance with applicable law.
• The buyer, who may be an entrepreneur or consumer, is required to become familiar with the Return policy and the General Terms and Conditions prior to ordering the goods.
• The seller issues a purchase receipt (invoice) to the purchased goods for each purchased item, with all the necessary data (name of the goods, price, quantity).

 

Checking goods at acceptence of them

The buyer is obligated to check the shipment status (parcel number, tape integrity, box damage) in accordance with the enclosed shipping note. The buyer is entitled to refuse to accept a shipment that is not in conformity with the purchase contract, with the shipment being, for example, incomplete or damaged. If the buyer takes over the damaged item from the carrier, it is necessary to describe the damage in the carrier’s delivery protocol.

Incomplete or damaged shipments must be immediately notified by e-mail and should be reported with the carrier as damage report and sent without undue delay by e-mail or by mail to the seller. An additional claim of incompleteness or external damage to the consignment does not relieve the buyer of the right to complain but gives the seller the opportunity to prove that there is no conflict with the purchase contract.

If the delivered shipment is not complete, please inform the carrier immediately and contact us by e-mail at hello@betonbasic.com.

Solving complaints

Buyer – consumer:

1. When a buyer is a consumer, he / she has the following rights, depending on the nature of the defect: in the case of a defect that can be removed, the right to free, correct and timely removal of the error, the right to exchange defective goods or a defective part if this is disproportionate to the nature of the defect. If such a procedure is not possible, the buyer is entitled to an appropriate discount on the purchase price or withdrawal from the purchase contract. In the case of a defect which can not be avoided by the proper use of the goods, the right to exchange defective goods or to withdraw from the purchase contract, the same rights are for consumers if there are removable errors, but if the buyer can not properly use the goods after repair. A reoffertation is considered especially if the same defect preventing proper use, which has been removed for at least two times during the warranty period, occurs again. A greater number of defects are to be understood if at least three defects prevent the proper use of goods at the same time; if other defects are not removable and the consumer does not require a replacement, he/she is entitled to an appropriate discount on the purchase price or withdrawal from the purchase contract.
2. When a buyer is a consumer, the seller decides on the claim within three business days. This period does not include the time appropriate to the type of product or service needed to expertly assess the error. The claim, including the removal of an error, shall be resupplied by the Seller without undue delay, no later than 30 days after the date of the claim. The 30-day period may be extended after a complaint has been lodged with the consumer – such extension may not be indefinite or unreasonably long. At the end of this period, it is assumed that the defect actually existed and the consumer has the same rights as he/she would if an defect existed that can not be eliminated. This time limit is not binding on the buyer who is the entrepreneur and therefore his relationship with the seller is regulated by the Commercial Code.
3. The seller shall provide the buyer with a written confirmation of the complaint, the content of the claim, and the email immediately after receipt of the complaint (in the case of personal application, it is handed over immediately);
4. the seller further issues the buyer with a confirmation of the date and method of claim handling within 30 days of the date of receipt of the claim, including the confirmation of the repair and the duration of the complaint, or the justification of the refusal of the complaint.
5. The buyer has the right to cover the necessary costs (in particular the postage paid by him when sending the claimed goods) in connection with the exercise of his / her right of responsibility for errors (we recommend that he / she request the latest within 30 days after the complaint has been lodged) – and have been spent effectively and purposefully. In the event of withdrawal from the contract due to an product defect, the consumer also has the right to reimburse the shipment costs of such withdrawal.

Buyer – enterpreneur

1. If it is a defect that can be removed, the goods will be repaired. f the repair is not possible and the nature of the defect does not impede its normal use, the seller and buyer may agree to an appropriate discount on the price of the goods.In the case of a discount, this defect can not be claimed later.
2. In the case of a defect which can not be eliminated and which prevents the goods from being properly used as goods without a defect, the seller is entitled to replace the defective goods with goods having the same or similar utility or to issue a credit note.
3. After the warranty claim has been provided, the warranty period is extended by the duration of the claim. In the case of an unjustified claim, the warranty period is not extended. If the goods claimed within the statutory warranty period have been replaced by the new goods, the warranty period will begin to run again from the date of the complaint settling. The duration of the claim is calculated from the day after the claim was lodged until the date of the complaint, ie when the buyer was required to take over the item.  The buyer is informed by email about the settling to the email address stated when making the online purchase.
4. After settling the claim, the seller notifies the buyer by phone, SMS or email. If goods were shipped by a shipping service, they will automatically be sent to the buyer’s address after the claim settling.
5. In the case of goods dispatched after the claim has been settled, the buyer is required to show the document on the basis of which the case was accepted and has to prove his / her identity by a valid ID or a valid passport.
