  • Losses during delivery, unless the Customer complains within five (5) working days after delivery

§ 5 Storage and inventory management

5.1 Storage duration and fees

5.2 Inventory count

The stored quantity is checked by the Service Provider upon acceptance. At the Customer's explicit request, counting may be waived; in that case, the Service Provider's liability for quantity discrepancies shall cease.

5.3 Handling of goods anomalies

If the Service Provider discovers that stored goods are spoiling or damaged, it shall notify the Customer immediately. In urgent cases that endanger the safety of the warehouse or other goods, the Service Provider may treat the goods in advance without being liable for doing so.
