All complaints must be sent in writing to info@hlmcentar.hr or to the company’s address. For all additional information feel free to call +385 1 3896 722.

All complaints are resolved immediately upon receipt, no later than 3 working days from receipt of the complaint.

You can expect a response to the complaint within 3 days, and if such does not follow, you are free to contact the Consumer Protection Association or the competent inspectorate.

 

LIABILITY FOR MATERIAL DEFICIENCIES

If the Buyer determines that the purchased product has defects, he must contact the Seller and file a complaint. The Seller will respond to the complaint within 3 working days. If the defect is found and confirmed, in accordance with the Civil Obligations Act, the Seller will eliminate the defect or replace the product with a new one, or, if aforementioned is not possible, fully refund the amount paid.

The Seller will authorize the return of the goods from the Buyer with instructions for the return of the goods.

The Seller shall be liable for material defects of the products at the time of its transfer of risk to the Buyer, whether or not the Buyer was aware of it. The Seller is also liable for those material defects that occur after the transfer of risk to the Buyer if they are the result of a cause that existed before.

The Seller is not liable for defects which were known to the Buyer at the time of concluding the contract or which could not remain unknown to him.

It is considered that the defects could not remain unknown to the Buyer if the Buyer is a caring person with average knowledge and experience and which the Buyer could easily notice during the usual inspection of things.

The Buyer is obliged to inspect the received item in the usual way, as soon as possible according to the regular course, and to notify the Seller of visible possible defects within eight days, otherwise he loses the right that belongs to him on that basis.

When the inspection is performed in the presence of both parties, the Buyer is obliged to immediately notify the Seller of his remarks in regards to visible defects, otherwise he loses the right that belongs to him on that basis.

If the defect is insignificant, the Buyer has no right to terminate the contract, but he has other rights from liability for material defects, including the right of damage repair.

The costs of eliminating the defect and handing over replaced things without the defect shall be borne by the Seller.

 

UNILATERAL TERMINATION OF THE CONTRACT

The Buyer has the right to unilaterally terminate the contract within 7 days, without stating the reasons for termination. In order to be able to unilaterally terminate the contract, the Buyer must notify the Seller of his/hers decision to terminate the contract unilaterally before the deadline by an unambiguous statement sent by mail to the company’s address or by e-mail to info@hlmcentar.hr stating his/her name and surname, address, telephone, fax or e-mail address. The Seller will send an acknowledgment of receipt of the notice of unilateral termination of the contract by e-mail without delay.

The Contract is terminated at the time the Seller receives notice of termination.
The Contract is considered to be terminated on time, if the notice of termination is sent within the prescribed period of 7 days from the receipt of the goods.
In case of termination of the Contract, the Buyer is obliged to return the product to the Seller at his own expense.
The Buyer is not liable for the damage suffered by the Seller due to the termination of the Contract.
The Seller shall, within 7 days from the date of receipt of the written notice of termination, reimburse the Buyer the entire amount paid by the Buyer under the Contract, including the cost of delivery of goods paid by the Buyer to the Seller, but not before receipt of the goods returned. The refund will be made in the same way as the payment by the Buyer was made.
The product must be in the original undamaged packaging, it must be undamaged and correct, it must not have visible traces of use, it must not be assembled, there must be no visible traces of assembly on the components, it must be with all parts and accessories. When returning the goods, it is necessary to return the warranty card, as well. The cost of returning the goods is borne by the Buyer.

If the Buyer returns the product without the original packaging and/or with minor damage and/or signs of use referring to the provisions on unilateral termination of the contract, due to which the Seller will not be able to sell the product as new, the damage is estimated in advance at 40% product price. By accepting these Terms and Conditions, the Buyer agrees in advance to reduce the stated amount of damages from the return of funds. Any damage exceeding this amount is considered major damage and the Seller is not obliged to make a refund. If the product is returned defective, with major damage or without parts and documentation and if the missing parts are not delivered within a subsequent period of eight days, it is considered that the Buyer has not fulfilled the obligation to return the goods and the Seller is not obliged to refund. The Buyer is not entitled to a refund if the subject of the contract is goods made according to the Buyer’s specification or in any other way adapted especially for the Buyer.

If the ordered and paid goods are not available for delivery within the agreed time, the Seller will offer the Buyer replacement goods of the Buyer’s choice or make a refund to the Buyer’s account in the amount paid.

When the Buyer is a legal entity, the right to unilateral termination of the contract within 7 days does not apply to him. For legal entities, the Civil Obligations Act and the Law on Electronic Commerce apply.
