A change of choice without the seller's consent is possible only if the buyer has requested a correction of the defect, which proves to be irreparable.

The vein expiry of this period is considered a material breach of contract and the buyer has the right to withdraw from the purchase contract. The moment of the claim is considered to be the moment when the buyer's will (exercise of the right of defective performance) to the seller occurs.
  16. The seller informs the buyer in writing about the outcome of the claim.
