This also applies if the assembly or installation was performed by the buyer, and the defect occurred due to a lack of instructions provided by the seller or the provider of digital content or digital content services, in the case of an item with digital features.
7.7. If a defect appears within one year of receipt, the item is presumed to have been defective at the time of receipt, unless the nature of the item or the defect excludes this. This period does not run during the time when the buyer is unable to use the item, if the defect has been properly raised.
7.8. If the subject of purchase is an item with digital features, the seller ensures that the agreed updates of the digital content or digital content service will be provided to the buyer.
