Correction of a Genuine Error Procedure for asserting a factual error as per Article 37 of the Consumer Protection Act (ZVPot):
The seller is obligated to supply goods to the consumer in compliance with the contract and is accountable for substantive errors in their performance.

A genuine error is established if:
The item lacks the essential properties necessary for normal use or customary market trading.
The item lacks the specific properties essential for the intended use, known or should have been known by the seller.
The item doesn’t meet the explicitly or implicitly agreed-upon characteristics or features.
The seller has provided an item that does not correspond to the exhibited sample or model, unless the sample or model was only presented for observation purposes.
The suitability of goods for normal use is evaluated concerning typical items of the same category, considering any declarations made by the seller or manufacturer, particularly through advertising, product demonstrations, or information on the goods themselves.
Legal provisions governing obligation relationships apply to liability for substantive errors, unless otherwise specified by law.
Article 37a stipulates that the consumer can assert rights arising from a material defect by informing the seller within two months from the discovery of the defect. The consumer must
describe the error comprehensively in the notification and permit the seller to inspect the item. The consumer can report the defect in person, receiving a certification from the seller, or via sending it to the store where the purchase was made or to the seller’s representative who facilitated the contract.

According to Article 37b:
The seller is not accountable for material defects emerging after two years from the delivery of the item.
For used items, the seller is not liable for material defects arising after one year from the item’s delivery.
A defect in the goods is presumed to have existed during delivery if it surfaces within six months of delivery.

Under Article 37c, upon correctly notifying the seller about the error, the consumer holds the right to demand that the seller:
Rectify the defect in the goods or reimburse a portion of the paid amount proportional to the defect.
Replace the defective goods with new, flawless items.
Return the paid amount.
Additionally, the consumer retains the right to seek compensation from the seller for damages, specifically for material costs, spare parts, labor, product transfer, and transportation expenses resulting from fulfilling obligations outlined in the preceding paragraph of this article. The consumer’s rights from the initial paragraph expire after two years from the day of notifying the seller about the genuine error.
