RESPONSIBILITY OF THE SELLER FOR MATERIAL DEFECTS
The seller is liable for material defects regardless of whether the contract transfers or obligates the buyer to transfer the ownership of the item, and whether the buyer has paid or is obligated to pay its price.
In consumer contracts, the seller is liable for material defects in accordance with the rules prescribed for the sales contract, even when it concerns a contract for the delivery of an item that needs to be produced or manufactured, regardless of whether, according to general rules, it is a sales contract, a work contract, or another type of contract.
The provisions of the Law on Liability for Material Defects do not apply to consumer contracts for the delivery of digital content or digital services, unless the subject of the sales contract is a movable item in which digital content or digital services are incorporated, or they are connected to the item in a way that the absence of that digital content or digital service would impede the functioning of the item, and they are delivered based on a sales contract, regardless of whether such digital content or digital service is delivered by the seller or a third party (item with digital elements).
In the case of items with digital elements, the risk transfers to the buyer at the moment of the one-time delivery of the digital content or digital service, or when the continuous delivery of the digital content or digital service has commenced.
If the item needs to be installed or assembled by the seller or a person for whom the seller is responsible, the risk transfers to the buyer at the moment when the installation or assembly is completed.
It is presumed that any defect of the item, as well as the defect of items with digital elements, which becomes apparent within one year from the moment of the transfer of risk, existed at the moment of the transfer of risk unless the seller proves otherwise or it arises from the nature of the item or the nature of the defect.
A defect exists if:
- The item does not correspond to the description, type, quantity, and quality, or it lacks functionality, compatibility, interoperability, and other features as determined by the sales contract.
- The item is not suitable for any specific purpose that the buyer requires and of which the buyer informed the seller at the latest at the time of concluding the contract, and to which the seller has given consent.
- The item is not delivered with all additional equipment and instructions, including installation instructions, as determined by the sales contract.
- The item is not delivered with updates as determined by the sales contract.
In addition to the aforementioned defects, a defect also exists if:
- The item is not suitable for use for purposes for which an item of the same kind would commonly be used, taking into account all European Union regulations and regulations of the Republic of Croatia, technical standards, or, in the absence of such technical standards, applicable codes of conduct in a specific field if they exist.
- The item does not correspond to the quality and description of a sample or model that the seller made available to the buyer before concluding the contract.
- The item is not delivered with additional equipment, including packaging, installation instructions, or other instructions that the buyer can reasonably expect to receive.
- The item does not correspond to the quantity or does not possess the properties and other features, including those related to durability, functionality, compatibility, and safety, which are common for an item of the same kind, and which the buyer can reasonably expect considering the nature of the item, taking into account all public statements made by the seller or other persons in the previous stages of the transaction chain, including the manufacturer, or made on their behalf, especially in advertising or labeling.
- The item is improperly installed or assembled, and the installation or assembly service is part of the sales contract and is performed by the seller or a person for whom the seller is responsible.
- The item, for which it was intended that the buyer would install or assemble it, is improperly installed or assembled by the buyer, and the improper installation or assembly is a result of a deficiency in the instructions provided by the seller or, in the case of items with digital elements, provided by the seller or the supplier of digital content or digital services.
The seller is not bound by point 4 of this provision if they can prove that they were unaware and could not have been aware of that statement, or if, by the time of concluding the contract, the public statement had been corrected in an equal or comparable manner to when it was made, or if that public statement could not have influenced the buyer’s decision to make the purchase.
In consumer contracts, the defects mentioned in points 1 to 4 of this provision do not apply if, at the time of concluding the contract, the consumer was specifically informed that a particular characteristic of the item deviates from the criteria used to determine the defects mentioned in points 1 to 4, and if the consumer explicitly and separately accepted it when concluding the contract.
Provisions of the contract that limit or exclude liability for defects in the item in consumer contracts before the consumer notifies the seller of the material defect of the item are not binding on the consumer.
A buyer who has duly and timely notified the seller of a defect is entitled to:
- request the seller to remedy the defect,
- request the delivery of another item free from defects,
- request a proportional reduction of the price,
- declare the termination of the contract.
In each of these cases, the buyer also has the right to claim damages according to general rules on liability for damages, including damages suffered on other properties due to the defect in the item.
When exercising the right to have the defect remedied, the buyer has the choice between repair and replacement of the item, unless the chosen method of rectifying the defect is impossible or would result in disproportionate costs to the seller considering all circumstances, particularly the value of the defect-free item, the significance of the defect, and whether the repair or replacement can be performed without significant inconvenience to the buyer. The seller is entitled to refuse the remedy if repair and replacement are impossible or would result in disproportionate costs to the seller considering all circumstances, particularly the value of the defect-free item, the significance of the defect, and whether the repair or replacement can be performed without significant inconvenience to the buyer.
The buyer has the right to a price reduction or contract termination only if the seller fails to rectify the defect, refuses to do so, or does not rectify the defect in accordance with Article 410a, paragraphs 2 and 3 of the Obligations Act, if the defect persists despite the seller’s attempt to rectify it, or if the seller has stated that they will not rectify the defect, or it is evident from the circumstances that they will not rectify the defect within a reasonable period or without significant inconvenience to the buyer, and if the defect is so significant that it justifies an immediate price reduction or contract termination.
The buyer has the right to withhold payment of any outstanding portion of the price until the seller fulfills their obligations regarding liability for material defects.
If the defect is insignificant, the buyer does not have the right to terminate the contract, but they are entitled to other rights regarding liability for material defects, including the right to claim damages.
The burden of proof that the defect is insignificant rests with the seller.
The costs of rectifying the defect and delivering another defect-free item are borne by the seller.
The repair or replacement of an item with a defect shall be carried out free of charge within a reasonable period from the moment the buyer notified the seller of the defect, without causing significant inconvenience to the buyer, taking into account the nature of the item and the purpose for which the buyer needed the item.
During the repair or replacement, the buyer is obligated to make the item available to the seller, and the seller is obligated to take possession of it.
If an item with a defect, which was installed or assembled in a manner consistent with its nature and purpose before the defect appeared, needs to be repaired or replaced, the obligation to rectify the defect includes the removal of the defective item and the installation or assembly of the replacement or repaired item, or the obligation to bear the costs of such removal and installation or assembly.
In the case of replacement of the item, the consumer is not obligated to pay for the ordinary use of the replaced item during the period before its replacement.
If the seller fails to fulfill the consumer contract within a subsequent reasonable period, the consumer is entitled to declare the contract terminated.
If the buyer terminates the sales contract, the buyer returns the item to the seller at the seller’s expense.
The seller reimburses the buyer for the price paid for the item after receiving the item or upon receiving proof from the buyer that the item has been sent back.
