The goods travel at the risk and at the expense of the recipient.
The buyer undertakes to immediately check the goods upon receipt and report possible visible flaws right away to the transport company carrier by mentioning them in writing on the delivery slip. In that case, the goods may not be assembled or commissioned. All observed flaws must be notified to Propulsion Systems in writing, Whitin 7 days after receiving the goods. In case of invisible flaws, a warranty period of 24 months is applicable, starting on the date of delivery.

Possible shipping, disassembly or assembly costs will be borne by the buyer. In case of faults to the goods delivered by another supplier, our warranty will be strictly limited to the warranty conditions of said supplier. To be able to assert a valid claim on the warranty, the warranty certificate must imperatively be sent back within 30 days following the date of purchase. Damaged or faulty goods can only be sent back to us upon our prior, written consent. Without this consent, the goods will be shipped at the risk and at the expense of the buyer.

In case of non-payment at the expiry date of the invoice, the seller reserves the right to increase the balance by 10%, with a minimum of 25 Euros.
