Delivery
1. The Product is delivered within a delivery period of 5 working days after confirmation of the order. This delivery period could vary depending on the country of destination. The estimated delivery day is set out in the order confirmation. The Product will not be dispatched for delivery or delivered until full payment is received by the Company.

In the event that the Purchaser uses a courier of his own choice, the risk due to loss or damage transfers to the Purchaser upon pick-up of the product by the courier from the Company’s warehouse.
6. The Purchaser ensures that delivery can take place. Delivery occurs when the Product is first presented for delivery.

Any additional attempts to deliver the Product may be charged to the Purchaser.
7. For security reasons and in case of uncertainties the courier may ask a proof of the Purchaser’s identity or the identity of the person appointed by the Purchaser to accept the delivery.
8. The Company cannot be liable for any indirect damages (e.g. due to late delivery) caused by the courier.
