If the customer has already made payments, we will refund these to him without undue delay.
- We will ensure a quick delivery. If part of the order is not immediately available for delivery, because we were not supplied on time, through no fault of our own, although we placed congruent orders with reliable suppliers, the remaining goods shall be delivered subsequently, without charging the flat-rate shipping fee again, if this is reasonable for the customer.
