4. Special return conditions for robotic lawnmowers

Robotic lawnmowers are technically demanding products intended for outdoor use. Due to activation, registration, configuration, and use, their value may be significantly reduced, therefore the following special conditions apply to the return of robotic lawnmowers.

Right to withdraw from the contract

In accordance with applicable legislation, the consumer has the right to withdraw from the contract within 14 days of receiving the product without stating a reason.

The consumer may inspect and test the product only to the extent necessary to determine its properties, operation, and functionality, as they could do in a physical store.

Use of the product and reduction in value

Use that exceeds the usual inspection of the product is considered to be especially:

  • activation or registration of the product with the manufacturer,
  • connecting the product to a user account or mobile application,
  • creation, storage, or use of mowing area maps,
  • setting up and configuring mowing areas,
  • regular or repeated mowing of the lawn,
  • use of the product outdoors,
  • wear of blades, wheels, or other components,
  • presence of grass, soil, mud, dust, or other traces of use,
  • damaged, defaced, or incomplete original packaging,
  • missing accessories, instructions, or included elements.

Use that exceeds the usual inspection of the product also includes any actual mowing of a grassy surface, regardless of the size of the surface or the duration of mowing. In the event of completed mowing, the product is no longer considered an unused product.

In the event of withdrawal from the contract after using the product, the buyer is responsible for the reduction in the value of the goods if they handled the goods beyond the extent necessary to determine their properties and operation.

Assessment of reduction in value

Upon receipt of the returned product, the seller inspects the condition of the product.

When determining the reduction in value, the following are considered:

  • the number of operating hours of the product,
  • the condition of the blades and other wear parts,
  • the condition of the drive and support wheels,
  • the condition of the housing and external surfaces,
  • presence of dirt, grass, soil, or other signs of use,
  • the condition of the original packaging,
  • completeness of the included accessories,
  • the possibility of further selling the product as new,
  • costs of cleaning, inspection, testing, and preparing the product for further sale.

If further sale as a new product is no longer possible due to the use of the product, the seller reserves the right to proportionally reduce the refund of the purchase price due to the reduction in the value of the product.

Return of activated robotic lawnmowers

Robotic lawnmowers that have been activated, registered, connected to a user account, connected to a mobile application, or used for mowing are treated individually upon return according to the actual condition of the product.

Before returning, the buyer must remove all user accounts, connections to mobile applications, product registrations, and other data related to the use of the product.

If the buyer does not do this, the seller reserves the right to withhold processing of the return until the stated limitations are resolved, or even to reject the return.

Documentation of the product condition

The seller reserves the right to create photographic documentation and a report on the condition of the product upon receipt of the returned product, which serves as a basis for determining the reduction in the value of the product and the amount of the refund of the purchase price.

Photographs, service report, data on the device's operating hours, and other technical data of the product may be used as evidence in complaint procedures, returns, disputes with payment service providers (e.g., PayPal, credit cards), or other procedures to determine the actual condition of the product.

Special provision regarding the refund of the purchase price

In the event of returning a robotic lawnmower for which actual mowing has been performed, the seller reserves the right to appropriately reduce the refund of the purchase price due to the reduced value of the product, inspection, cleaning, testing, preparation for further sale costs, and the inability to sell it as a new product.

If the inspection of the product shows that the robotic lawnmower was used beyond the extent necessary to determine its properties and operation, the refund of the purchase price is reduced by the actually determined reduction in the value of the product.

The buyer agrees that activation, registration, mapping of the mowing area, and actual use of the robotic lawnmower for mowing constitute use of the product that exceeds the usual inspection of the goods when purchasing remotely.
