a) a proportionate reduction in the purchase price. This requirement is imposed in the case when the product can be used for its intended purpose without eliminating the defects, but when determining its price, the reduction in quality was not taken into account;

Lawyer's comment:

The starting position that predetermines the legal consequences of transferring goods of inadequate quality to the buyer should be considered the concept of inadequate quality of goods used in this article. This is understood as a discrepancy between the quality of the product and the requirements established in Article 469 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

Such a discrepancy may be expressed in shortcomings, the elimination of which does not require disproportionate costs and (or) significant time, or in significant shortcomings, in the presence of which the possibility of using the product for its intended purpose becomes excessively difficult or is completely absent.

Accordingly, in paragraphs 1 and 2 of Art. 475 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation provides for two options for the consequences of transferring goods of inadequate quality.

In paragraph 1 we're talking about about the first of these options, applied provided that the defects of the goods were not specified when transferring the goods to the buyer. In this case, the buyer has the right, at his choice, to demand from the seller the fulfillment of one of the three obligations mentioned in this paragraph.

In this case, a proportionate reduction in the purchase price is understood as setting the price in appropriate proportion to total price goods taking into account real possibility use of depreciated goods for their intended purpose.

When the seller eliminates defects in the goods free of charge within a reasonable time, the criterion of bringing the level of quality of the goods as a result of eliminating the defects found in it to the level provided for in Article 469 is applied.

When eliminating defects in the goods by the buyer himself, the costs reimbursed by the seller must correspond to market value work to eliminate deficiencies, the cost of materials used and other necessary expenses carried out at the place where these works are carried out. These buyer expenses should not be excessive.

Paragraph 2 talks about the second version of the consequences of the transfer of goods, when its shortcomings are significant. Significant defects are those that cannot be eliminated or the elimination of which requires disproportionate expenses or time, or that reappear after their elimination, as well as other defects due to which the buyer is deprived of what he had the right to count on when concluding the contract, including number and possibility of using the product for its intended purpose.

If these shortcomings exist, the buyer has the right, at his choice, to unilateral refusal from the execution of a purchase and sale agreement with the return of the amount of money paid for the goods or the replacement of the goods purchased by him with goods corresponding to the contract.

The right of the buyer, if he so desires, is also not excluded to make demands for the seller to eliminate defects in the goods free of charge or to reimburse him for the costs of eliminating the defects by the buyer himself. Presentation specified requirements possible provided that the character significant shortcomings product allows you to carry out necessary work to eliminate them.

Paragraph 3 of Article 475 contains a rule on the connection between the buyer’s requirements for eliminating defects or replacing goods provided for in paragraphs 1 and 2 of this article with the nature of the goods or the essence of the obligation arising from the purchase and sale agreement. Thus, unique things, for example paintings by famous artists, cannot be replaced at all. It is not possible to replace an item sold at auction with another similar item.

In accordance with paragraph 4 of Article 475, the buyer is given the right, in case of inadequate quality of part of the goods included in the set, to present to the seller the requirements specified in paragraphs 1 and 2 of this article only in relation to the specified part of the goods. At the same time, the buyer retains the right to exercise his powers specified in paragraphs 1 and 2 in relation to the entire set of goods.

Paragraph 5 of Article 475 allows for the adoption special norms rights regarding the consequences of transferring goods of inadequate quality. Such norms may be contained in the Civil Code or other law, as is done in Article 503 Civil Code RF under the retail sales contract and in Article 18

Do you think you are Russian? Were you born in the USSR and think that you are Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian? No. This is wrong.

Are you actually Russian, Ukrainian or Belarusian? But do you think that you are a Jew?

Game? Wrong word. The right word"imprinting".

The newborn associates himself with those facial features that he observes immediately after birth. This natural mechanism is characteristic of most living creatures with vision.

Newborns in the USSR saw their mother for a minimum of feeding time during the first few days, and most time we saw the faces of the maternity hospital staff. By a strange coincidence, they were (and still are) mostly Jewish. The technique is wild in its essence and effectiveness.

Throughout your childhood, you wondered why you lived surrounded by strangers. The rare Jews on your way could do whatever they wanted with you, because you were drawn to them, and pushed others away. Yes, even now they can.

You cannot fix this - imprinting is one-time and for life. It’s difficult to understand; the instinct took shape when you were still very far from being able to formulate it. From that moment, no words or details were preserved. Only facial features remained in the depths of memory. Those traits that you consider to be your own.

System and observer

Let's define a system as an object whose existence is beyond doubt.

An observer of a system is an object that is not part of the system it observes, that is, it determines its existence through factors independent of the system.

The observer, from the point of view of the system, is a source of chaos - both control actions and the consequences of observational measurements that do not have a cause-and-effect relationship with the system.

An internal observer is an object potentially accessible to the system in relation to which inversion of observation and control channels is possible.

An external observer is an object, even potentially unattainable for the system, located beyond the system’s event horizon (spatial and temporal).

Hypothesis No. 1. All-seeing eye

Let's assume that our universe is a system and it has an external observer. Then observational measurements can occur, for example, with the help of “gravitational radiation” penetrating the universe from all sides from the outside. The cross section of the capture of “gravitational radiation” is proportional to the mass of the object, and the projection of the “shadow” from this capture onto another object is perceived as an attractive force. It will be proportional to the product of the masses of the objects and inversely proportional to the distance between them, which determines the density of the “shadow”.

The capture of “gravitational radiation” by an object increases its chaos and is perceived by us as the passage of time. An object opaque to “gravitational radiation”, the capture cross section of which is larger than its geometric size, looks like a black hole inside the universe.

Hypothesis No. 2. Inner Observer

It is possible that our universe is observing itself. For example, using pairs of quantum entangled particles separated in space as standards. Then the space between them is saturated with the probability of the existence of the process that generated these particles, reaching its maximum density at the intersection of the trajectories of these particles. The existence of these particles also means that there is no capture cross section on the trajectories of objects that is large enough to absorb these particles. The remaining assumptions remain the same as for the first hypothesis, except:

Time flow

An outside observation of an object approaching the event horizon of a black hole, if the determining factor of time in the universe is an “external observer,” will slow down exactly twice - the shadow of the black hole will block exactly half of the possible trajectories of “gravitational radiation.” If the determining factor is the “internal observer,” then the shadow will block the entire trajectory of interaction and the flow of time for an object falling into a black hole will completely stop for a view from the outside.

It is also possible that these hypotheses can be combined in one proportion or another.
