• The item has no defects or damage.

Components that do not correspond to the description of condition under points (1) to (3) will be sent back to the specified customer address for a fee using a handling fee of €150 per delivery. Furthermore, the following re-storage flat rates are automatically deducted from the credit: goods value >= €150 to €2000 = 10%, > €2000 to €5000 = 7.5%, >€5000 to €20,000 = 5%, >€20,000 = 2.5%.
