6.4. The Professional shall carry out the repair or replacement of the purchased item within a period not exceeding 30 days, except in situations where the nature and complexity of the purchased item, the severity of the lack of conformity, and the effort required to effect the repair or replacement justify a longer period, which shall be promptly communicated to the Customer.

6.6. In the second instance, the Customer may also, in accordance with the applicable legal provisions, choose between a proportionate reduction of the price or the termination of the Sale Agreement, when:

6.8. The Professional shall reimburse the Customer within 14 days from the date on which it was informed of the decision to terminate the contract, exercised in accordance with the law.
