- Out-of-court dispute resolution
- Currently, consumers – buyers have the possibility to use court proceedings, arbitration or mediation to resolve disputes with the Supplier. The Supplier, as part of the fulfilment of its information obligation, hereby informs the Supplier – consumers that the Consumer Protection Act No. 634/1992 Coll. by amendment No. 378/2015 Coll. (hereinafter referred to as the “CPA“) has provided for the possibility of out-of-court resolution of consumer disputes. According to Section 20d of this Act (ZOS), the consumer has the right to an out-of-court settlement of a consumer dispute arising from a purchase contract or a contract for the provision of services. The out-of-court settlement of a consumer dispute is initiated on the consumer’s proposal, which must contain the statutory elements (§ 20n of the CPA), in particular evidence that the consumer has not been able to resolve the dispute with the other party directly and other documents proving the alleged facts, if available. The consumer may file a claim with the Czech Trade Inspection Authority within one year from the date on which he first exercised his right with the Supplier. The Supplier is subsequently required to provide the Czech Trade Inspection with a statement on the facts set out in the application within 15 working days of receipt of the notification, and the Supplier is obliged to cooperate and provide the Czech Trade Inspection with the cooperation necessary for the effective conduct of the out-of-court settlement of the consumer dispute. The Act sets the maximum length of the out-of-court settlement of a consumer dispute, which must be completed within 90 days of its initiation (in particularly complex disputes, the time limit may be extended by a maximum of a further 90 days). The out-of-court settlement of a consumer dispute can only be terminated voluntarily by the consumer, and may also be terminated in particular by agreement between the consumer and the business. Unlike the above methods, this out-of-court settlement of consumer disputes is not subject to a fee, but each party (i.e. the consumer and the entrepreneur) bears its own costs (e.g. legal representation).
- The proceedings are conducted before the Czech Trade Inspection Authority,
