If there is a defect or a wrong quantity, the Buyer shall notify us immediately but no later than within 14 days upon receipt of the shipment. After that period, the delivered goods shall be considered approved. We shall have to be notified of latent defects immediately and in writing. To substantiate the complaint, one of the affected rolls of wallpaper including the rolling-in-slip (Einrollzettel) shall have to be sent to us.
