(b) Claims relating to faults must be made within three days of delivery. The buyer is required to provide us with all the required documents and pieces of evidence for examination. Should a claim be justified, the buyer is entitled to the replacement of the goods against return of the faulty supply, insofar as the latter is in the same condition as when it was delivered. No claim concerning visible defects or differences in colour, pattern or size will be accepted if the wallcovering has already been cut or hung. The seller has the right to replace the goods refused for good reason, without this replacement giving rise to any damages. A claim does not release the buyer from the obligation to pay the amount of the invoice on the contractual due date and according to the stipulated conditions. A claim, even if well-founded, in no way entitles the buyer to refuse the goods which are not the subject of the claim. The buyer's rights are limited to those stipulated above. In particular he cannot claim any cancellation, modification, reduction or compensation whatsoever.
(c) Where the goods are not delivered by the Company or it's carriers, but by an Independent carrier instructed by the Purchaser, delivery to the Purchaser's carrier shall be deemed to be delivery to the Purchaser.

As long as payment has not been effected the Buyer cannot sell, pledge or offer goods as guarantee or collateral security. Should the goods or any of them be converted into a new product whether or not such conversion involves admixture with any other goods or thing in whatsoever and whatever proportions, the conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on behalf of the Seller and the Seller shall have full legal and beneficial ownership of the new products but without acceptance of any liability whatsoever with respect to any third party claim for the converted goods.
