All goods have to be checked immediately on receipt. Damage claims are only acceptable in writing within 2 working days of receipt of all the goods. In case of legitimate claims the buyer can only require replacement of the goods. If replacement is not possible, the buyer has the right to choose between alternative products with same value or refund. The buyer cannot claim further compensation. All returns must first be authorized by us in writing.

• The seller shall not be liable under the above warranty if the total price of the goods has not been paid by the due date for payment
• The above warranty does not extend to parts, materials or equipment manufactured by or on behalf of the buyer unless such warranty is given by the manufacturer to the seller.

This warranty does not cover defects in or damage to the products which are due to improper installation or maintenance, misuse, neglect or any use other than ordinary commercial application.

Any discharge from liability will be void if a defect results from a heavily negligent or intentional breach of contract or if the buyer will be bodily injured as a result from a negligent or intentional breach.

The seller shall not be liable for the goods being fit for a particular purpose unless otherwise agreed upon, to which the buyer intends to put them.

This warranty is strictly exclusive.

In no event shall we be liable for claims for any other damages, whether direct, indirect, incidental, compensatory, foreseeable, consequential or special (including but not limited to loss of use, revenue or profit), whether based upon warranty, contract, tort (including negligence) or strict liability arising in connection with the sale or the failure of microLAN BV products.

The goods shall remain of our property until full payment as previously agreed has been made. In the event of non- payment, we shall have the right to re-sell the goods to a third party.

The seller shall have the absolute authority to retake, sell or otherwise deal with or dispose of all or any part of the goods in which title remains vested in the seller.

Until such time as the property in the goods passes to the buyer, the buyer shall hold the goods as the seller´s fiduciary agent, and shall keep the goods properly stored, protected, and insured on his own costs.

If the goods are processed or reshaped by the buyer and if processing is done with goods that seller has no property in, seller shall become co-owner of the products.
