We guarantee our deliveries for one year against any deficiencies in manufacture, on the understanding that this guarantee is limited to the free replacement in our workshops of the defective element, and that this will become the property of the supplier. No other agreements can be made, even in the event of serious errors.
8. Packaging and shipment: All transport shall take place at the risk of the buyer, even if this involves postage-paid shipment. In the case of damage or loss of goods, the buyer must exercise his rights vis a vis the transport company. The delivery at the location, whether this is postage-paid or not, shall be made by lorry at a location that may be accessed by such vehicles.
9. Assembly: the materials may be assembled by us at the delivery location, at a cost to the buyer. The latter shall provide the supplier all of the necessary resources and tools required for this. A secure room must be provided by the supplier to the assembly personnel, where instruments and small items can be stored. This room must not be damp and must offer the necessary heat and light. In the event of contracted assembly, all additional costs due to delays which are outside the scope of the supplier, e.g. delays in finishing the rooms, the foundations, the provision of materials, etc. shall be charged as supplementary to the established prices. We are not liable for damage caused as a result of assembly, not even in the case of gross negligence by our representatives or the party we have appointed to carry out assembly.
10. Accidents and insurance: in the event of accidents that could occur at any moment and in any circumstances, the supplier’s responsibility shall be limited to his own personnel and material supplied.
