The seller may always replace the defective item with a faultless one instead of removing the defect, if this does not cause serious inconvenience to the buyer. If there is a defect which cannot be remedied and which prevents the thing from being properly used as a thing without defect, the buyer has the right to have the thing replaced or to withdraw from the contract. The same rights shall apply to the buyer if the defects are remediable, but if the buyer cannot properly use the goods because of the recurrence of the defect after repair or because of a greater number of defects.
