The display of non-obvious defects by the customer must be made within 14 days of discovery, but no later than the expiry of an exclusion period of 12 months after delivery. Obvious defects or missing items are to be reported within a preclusive period of 14 days beginning with the delivery of the goods.

Consequences of the cancellation
If you withdraw from this agreement, we have to refund all payments we have received from you, including delivery charges (except for the additional costs arising from choosing a different delivery method than the most favorable standard delivery we offer).

For this return payment, we use the same means of payment that you used in the original transaction, unless otherwise agreed with you. In no case will you be charged refund fees. We may refuse to return payment until we have received the goods or until you have provided proof that you have returned the goods, whichever is earlier.

You must return the goods to us immediately and in any event not later than fourteen days from the date on which you inform us of the cancellation of this contract. The deadline is met if you send the goods before the deadline of fourteen days.

You shall bear the cost of returning the goods. You only have to pay for a possible loss in value of the goods, if this loss of value is due to a sort of handling which is not necessary for the examination of nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
