The aforementioned delivery times, which are indicated on the occasion of the order, are purely indicative. Delay in delivery for any reason cannot give rise to compensation and is not grounds for refusal to supply or terminate the agreement and does not release the customer from their obligation.
PROPERTY RESERVATION
By way of derogation from Article 1583 of the Civil Code, the goods sold or delivered remain the exclusive property of UNITED PLANTATION LIMITED until full payment of the principal, interest, and costs.

In case of visible defects in the goods, the customer must inform UNITED PLANTATION LIMITED in writing within a period of 3 working days, counting from receipt of the goods and this by registered mail, in order to avoid disputes regarding the aforementioned protest period.

Claims for hidden defects must be brought before the competent court on pain of forfeiture within 30 days of the finding of the defect.
In no case does the formulation of a complaint suspend the customer's payment obligation.
