- In the event that any claim by the buyer is validated, both contractually and judicially, the seller undertakes, at their sole discretion, to replace the determined quantity of goods or to refund or cancel the corresponding invoiced Amount.
- Shipping and/or return costs for warranty items are exclusively borne by the seller, provided that the warranty claim has been previously recognized as well-founded, and only with the carrier designated by the seller.
