If goods have not yet been delivered, but the agreed advance payment or price has not been paid as agreed, the seller has the right of retention. The item will then not be delivered until the buyer has paid in full and as agreed.
In the event of liquidation, insolvency or suspension of payment of the buyer, the buyer's obligations are immediately due and payable.

This warranty applies for a period of two calendar years after receipt of the sold item by the buyer.
The intended guarantee serves to create a risk distribution between the seller and the buyer in such a way that the consequences of a breach of a guarantee are always entirely at the expense and risk of the seller and that the seller can never rely on a breach of a guarantee. Article 6:75 of the Dutch Civil Code. The provisions of the previous sentence also apply if the infringement was known to the buyer or could have been known through conducting an investigation.
The aforementioned warranty does not apply if the defect has arisen as a result of improper or improper use or if - without permission - the buyer or third parties have made or attempted to make changes or used the purchased item for purposes for which it was not intended.
If the warranty provided by the seller relates to an item produced by a third party, the warranty is limited to the warranty provided by that producer.
