2) the reasonable expectations of the Consumer, considering the type of digital content or digital service and the purpose for which they are used, as well as the circumstances and nature of the agreement, if the agreement provides for the provision of digital content or a digital service once or in parts.

4. If the Consumer does not install updates provided by the Seller in a reasonable time according to Chapter II, Section IV, point 3, the Seller is not liable for the lack of conformity of digital content or a digital service with the agreement arising solely from the lack of updates, if:

5. The Seller is not liable for the lack of conformity of digital content or a digital service with the agreement in the scope specified in Chapter II, Section IV, point 2 or 3, if the Consumer, at the latest upon entering into the agreement, was clearly informed that a specific feature of the digital content or digital service deviates from the conformity requirements specified in Chapter II, Section IV, points 2 or 3, and the Consumer clearly and separately accepted the absence of the specific feature of the digital content or digital service.

V. Seller's Liability

1.

It is presumed that the lack of conformity of digital content or a digital service with the agreement that became apparent before the end of one year from the supply of digital content or a digital service existed at the time of their supply.

2. The Seller cannot invoke the expiry of the period to assert that digital content or a digital service is not in conformity with the agreement, as specified in Chapter II, Section I, point 1, if they fraudulently concealed this fact.

3. The Seller is liable for the lack of conformity of digital content or a digital service supplied continuously, which occurred or became apparent during the period when, according to the agreement, they were to be supplied. It is presumed that the lack of conformity of digital content or a digital service

2) Informed in a clear and understandable manner before entering into the agreement about the obligation to cooperate with the Seller, the Consumer does not fulfill this obligation to a reasonable extent and using the least burdensome technical means for themselves, in order to determine whether the lack of conformity of digital content or a digital service with the agreement in a timely manner results from the characteristics of the Consumer's digital environment.

 

VI. Non-Conformity of Content or Service with the Agreement

1. If digital content or a digital service are not in conformity with the agreement, the Consumer can request that they be brought into conformity with the agreement.

2. The Seller can refuse to bring digital content or a digital service into conformity with the agreement if bringing them into conformity with the agreement is impossible or would require excessive costs for the Seller.

3.

4. The Seller brings digital content or a digital service into conformity with the agreement within a reasonable time from the moment when the Seller was informed by the Consumer about the lack of conformity with the agreement, and without excessive inconvenience to the Consumer, taking into account their nature and the purpose for which they are used.

3) the lack of conformity of digital content or a digital service with the agreement persists even though the Seller attempted to bring digital content or a digital service into conformity with the agreement;

4) the lack of conformity of digital content or a digital service with the agreement is so significant that it justifies a price reduction or withdrawal from the agreement without prior use of the protective measure specified in Chapter II, Section VI;

5) from the Seller's declaration or circumstances, it clearly follows that the Seller will not bring digital content or a digital service into conformity with the agreement in a reasonable time or without excessive inconvenience to the Consumer.

3. The Consumer cannot withdraw from the agreement if digital content or a digital service are provided in exchange for payment of a price, and the lack of conformity of digital content or a digital service with the agreement is insignificant. It is presumed that the lack of conformity of digital content or a digital service with the agreement is significant.

In the case referred to in Chapter II, Section X, point 1 above, the Consumer can terminate the agreement without observing the notice period within 30 days from the day of making the change referred to in Chapter II, Section IX, point 1, or being informed about this change if the notification occurred later than this change.
