  5. If the product is not in conformity with the sales agreement, the customer is entitled to request its repair or replacement with a new one.

  9. When assessing the excessive costs for the seller, all circumstances related to the specific case are taken into account, in particular the significance of the non-conformity of the product or digital content with the agreement, their value in the case of conformity with the agreement, and excessive inconveniences in the case of changing the method of bringing the product or digital content into conformity with the agreement.
  10. Repair, replacement of the product, or bringing digital content into conformity with the agreement is carried out by the seller in a reasonable time, counting from the moment when the seller received information from the customer about the lack of conformity of the product or digital content with the agreement, as well as without excessive inconveniences for the customer, taking into account their specificity, nature, and purpose of use. The costs of replacement or bringing digital content into conformity with the agreement are borne by the seller.

  12. The amount of the reduced price must be proportional to the difference between the product or digital content in conformity with the agreement and the value of the product or digital content not in conformity with the agreement.
