The client is entitled to make complaints for defects in services if there was a defect in the insufficient scope of the provided services (hereinafter also as „invoice claims“) or defect in insufficient quality of provided services (complaints about the quality of services) only within the warranty period provided by the company FABIRO. Where a complaint about an invoice is concerned, the client is obliged to exercise his right to complain about defects in the invoiced scope of services with the company FABIRO, to the person responsible for the filing and settlement of complaints (hereinafter „responsible person“) with no delay after receiving the invoice for provided services, however not later than 30 days as of the maturity date of the invoice. If the client does not claim the defect within the stipulated period, his right to claim the invoice claim shall cease to exist. Where a complaint about the quality of services is concerned, the client is obliged to file the complaint for defects immediately after their detection, however not later than the warranty period expires. If the client does not apply his right to complain to FABIRO about defects during the warranty period, his right to file a complaint for errors shall cease to exist.

The warranty period begins on the day of provision of services to the client and lapses at the moment of first further processing of the component in connection with which the services were provided, if not agreed otherwise. If the company FABIRO is obliged to provide a service at a place other than the seat of the client, the warranty period for this service begins on the day that the service is provided at the determined place. The client is obliged to notify the company FABIRO in writing about defects detected in provided services with no delay, however not later than 5 days from the day when the defect was detected, otherwise the client loses the right to claim the defects in provided services. FABIRO is not liable to the client for defective services which occurred after lapse of the warranty period or which the client filed after its expiry.

6. Claims for defective services
If FABIRO, while examining the complaint, detects that the complaint was submitted by the client on time, during the warranty period and that FABIRO is liable for such defect, the client may request an adequate discount from the price of provided services in the case of the complaint of defects in quality or in case of invoice claims the client may request a proper invoicing of services in the provided extent. The discount which the client may request from FABIRO must correspond to the difference between the value of the service that should have been provided without defects and the value of the service provided with defects. If it is not possible to determine the discount and an agreement between FABIRO and the client on the discount was not made, the client is not entitled to deduct the price to be paid for FABIRO services by the discount. If the price has already been paid, the client may also not request its reimbursement up to the amount of the discount. The amount of the discount shall be subject of the separate proceeding, eventually agreement between the parties. The client is entitled for the discount only if the defect can not be removed or repaired.
