This provision does not apply to goods sold at a lower price for a defect for which the lower price was agreed, to wear and tear caused by its normal use for used goods to a defect corresponding to the degree of use or wear that the goods had at the time of takeover by the buyer, or if it arises from the nature of the goods.
