7.5 Complaints and other comments can be submitted to BM in writing using the contact form or by email. Visits are only possible by appointment.
7.6 The guarantee referred to in this condition does not apply if the defect has been caused by injudicious or improper use of the product, or if, without permission in writing from BM, the purchaser or a third party has made or has tried to make alterations to the product or has used the product for purposes other than what it is intended for.
7.7 If the goods supplied by BM are faulty, BM's liability to the purchaser is limited to the provisions in this condition, which means that whatever the circumstances the liability of BM is limited to the amount paid by the purchaser under the contract of sale.
