6.4. Every product that we deliver to you is preceded by thorough quality control. Nevertheless, it is always possible that a certain item escapes our attention during inspection or that it is damaged during transport. We kindly request you to check all items immediately upon receipt.

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. If a hidden defect is only established after a reasonable period of time, the replacement value will also lapse in the event of a possible payment of damage.
