- repair;
- price reduction if the identified defect does not affect the consumer properties of the goods;
- replacement of the goods with an identical one;
- if replacement is impossible – refund of the cost of the goods or its part, if part of the goods is deemed fit for use.
Shipment of goods is performed on EXW Seller’s warehouse terms; transportation costs are paid by the Buyer.
