The shipment of the product to PORTUGAL FOILS, resulting from a claim made under the warranty based on alleged non-compliance, can only occur after prior written consent provided by PORTUGAL FOILS.

Transport and shipping costs will be borne by the customer, unless PORTUGAL FOILS determines that the reported anomaly is covered by the warranty.

When the after-sales service involves the replacement of a product or a specific part / component, the replacement item becomes the property of the customer and the replaced item becomes the property of PORTUGAL FOILS.
