Unless Beerlandt Publications BV is notified to the contrary during said period, delivered items shall be presumed to be accepted.
6.5. When you discover an error or defect, we will evaluate it and, if necessary, replace the product or (partially) refund the purchase price. However, this does not apply in the case of intent or deliberate damage.
