9.-CLAIMS

The buyer or his agent is obliged to check the goods at the time of delivery and – in case of damage due to transport – must mention on the delivery note the reservations he intends to make about the condition of the furniture received. In addition, the purchaser must imperatively notify the carrier of the damage observed (stating the damaged goods and the nature of the damage) by registered letter expedited within 3 days – not including holidays – following receipt; a copy of the said letter will be sent to us at the same time. Failing to comply with these requirements and if our company thereby lost its possibilities of recourse against the carrier, the buyer would bear the consequences of the transport damage alone. In case of non-compliance of the furniture with the characteristics provided for when ordering or in case of apparent defect presented by the furniture sold, the buyer has a period of 24 hours from delivery – not including Sundays or holidays – to notify the seller.

10. -GUARANTEE

Our warranty is limited to 18 months from the day of delivery, it can only apply if the furniture has been used after normal use, under normal conditions: we therefore disclaim any liability in the event that furniture is particularly subject to the influence of heating or excessive moisture; we can not obviously apply this guarantee in the case of deterioration caused by causes other than the intrinsic qualities of the furniture. Our warranty does not cover the consequences of normal wear and tear of the furniture at the time of the claim. Similarly, our warranty does not cover damage resulting from assembly or assembly errors when the customer has taken charge of himself or a third party of this assembly or assembly. However, we apply, in any case, the legal warranty under which we guarantee the buyer without limitation of duration against all consequences of defects and latent defects that may be disclosed the goods sold, provided that they are reported to us as soon as they are seen.

11. – RETURN

No merchandise may be returned to us without our prior consent and our return instructions. -CLAUSE OF RETENTION OF PROPERTY The seller reserves the right of ownership of the goods delivered until full payment of all the supplies due under the terms of this contract. To claim the benefit of this clause, it will suffice for the seller to make known his formal desire to be returned the goods by a simple registered letter with AR addressed to the buyer – or possibly his trustee.It is nevertheless expressly stated that – except for the application of the guarantee clause provided for in article 11 above – the buyer will be responsible for the goods deposited in his hands as soon as they are physically delivered – the transfer of possession entailing the transfer of risks. The buyer will therefore have to make all necessary arrangements and if necessary any insurance to mitigate the possible destruction – partial or total – of the goods whatever its origin.
