c) deletion or loss of files by the Customer;
d) expiration of the download link, provided that the link remained active for a reasonable period of time.

§ 8 Liability for non-conformity of digital content or a digital service with the Contract
1. If StartUp has not supplied the digital content or digital service, the Customer requests that it be supplied. If StartUp does not supply it immediately or within an additional period expressly agreed by the parties, the Customer may withdraw from the contract. This does not apply if the contract provides for supply of digital content on a tangible medium.
2. StartUp is liable for non-conformity with the contract of digital content or a digital service supplied:
a) once or in parts – that existed at the time of supply and became apparent within two years of that time;
b) continuously – that occurred or became apparent during the period in which, according to the contract, they were to be supplied.
3. If digital content or a digital service is non-conforming with the contract, the Customer may request that it be brought into conformity with the contract.
4. StartUp may refuse to bring digital content or a digital service into conformity if it is impossible or would require excessive costs for StartUp.
5. If digital content or a digital service is non-conforming with the contract, the Customer may submit a statement on price reduction or withdrawal when:

b) StartUp did not bring it into conformity pursuant to Art. 43m(4) of the Act on Consumer Rights;
c) the non-conformity persists despite StartUp’s attempt to bring it into conformity;
d) the non-conformity is significant enough to justify a price reduction or withdrawal without first using the remedy in Art. 43m of the Act on Consumer Rights;
e) it clearly follows from StartUp’s statement or circumstances that it will not bring it into conformity within a reasonable time or without excessive inconvenience for the Customer.
6. The reduced price must remain in the same proportion to the contract price as the value of the non-conforming digital content or digital service remains to the value of the conforming one. If the contract provides for supply in parts or continuously, the reduction should account for the time during which it was non-conforming.
7. The Customer may not withdraw from the contract if digital content or a digital service is supplied in exchange for payment of a price and the non-conformity is insignificant.
8. In the event of withdrawal, StartUp may request the return of the tangible medium on which it supplied the digital content within 14 days of receiving the Customer’s statement of withdrawal. The Customer returns the medium immediately.
9. In the event of withdrawal, StartUp is obliged to refund the price only in the part corresponding to the non-conforming digital content or digital service and to the part whose supply obligation ceased due to withdrawal.
