Should any problem arise during delivery due to difficult access or unsuitable terrain, the company reserves the right to refuse delivery, in which case the customer undertakes to find an alternative unloading location nearby that is accessible. Unloading time must not exceed 1 hour, otherwise additional charges will apply. In the event of impossibility, a penalty of €150 per product will be automatically invoiced as compensation for the difficulties created and deducted from the deposit paid. An alternative, suitable transport will then be arranged at the customer’s expense.
