Thus, in the event of failure by STABLEGEAR to deliver the goods at the time agreed with the Consumer Customer or within the time limits referred to in the previous paragraph, the Consumer Customer shall request STABLEGEAR to make the delivery within an additional time limit appropriate to the circumstances. If STABLEGEAR has not made the delivery within the said additional period, the Consumer Customer has the right to terminate the contract.

The sums paid by the Customer will then be returned to him at the latest within fourteen (14) days following the date of termination of the contract, to the exclusion of any other compensation or retention.

He has a period of eight (8) days from delivery to formulate by registered mail with acknowledgement of receipt, all reservations or claims for non-conformity or apparent defect of the products delivered, with all the related documents.
