10.4 The proof of purchase serves as proof with regard to the guarantee.
10.5 If delivered goods do not comply with these warranties, ADS will, at its discretion, replace or repair the goods within a reasonable period of time after receipt thereof or, if return is not reasonably possible, after written notification of the defect by Client. In case of replacement, Client will return the replaced goods to ADS and to transfer ownership thereof to ADS.

10.7 If the delivered goods do not comply with what was agreed upon and this non-compliance is a defect within the meaning of the product liability regulations, ADS will in principle not be liable for consequential loss. However, in the case of consumers, if ADS wishes to invoke exclusion of liability, it will take into account the fact that the consumer can invoke the nullity thereof. It is up to ADS to prove that the clause is not unreasonably onerous in the specific circumstances.
