Time begins only after all technical/commercial details are finalised and required approvals are received.

Delays due to external factors (traffic, customs, weather) are not the Company’s responsibility.
In case of damages during transport, photos must be taken showing the damaged parts both inside and outside the crate.
Damages will not be covered if the parts are shown outside the crate or after installation.
