In the terms of delivery the buyer is defined as: the natural or legal person who has placed an assignment with XPat Media for the delivery of goods.

The periods of delivery quoted by XPat Media are to be considered an approximation. Any exceeding of this period does not give the buyer any right to compensation.
Article 5. Claims and liability
a. the buyer is obligated, upon delivery, to check whether the goods meet the specifications. If this is not the case, the buyer will notify XPat Media of this in writing within eight days. After this period has lapsed, the buyer will be considered to have accepted the goods.
b. if it has been determined that the goods do not meet the specifications, then, upon return of these goods, XPat Media has the choice of either replacing them by new products or repaying the invoice price.
c. if a buyer, for whichever reason, chooses not to keep the product, then he has the right to return it to XPat Media within a period of two weeks after delivery. Returned goods will only be accepted if they are not damaged. The buyer bears the cost of return postage / delivery.
Article 6. Payment
a. unless agreed otherwise, the buyer will pay the price and any other amount due in accordance with the contract within a period of fourteen days after delivery, without laying claim to any type of rebate, settlement or suspension of payment. Payment will be deposited on the bank account specified by XPat Media. If the period of fourteen days is exceeded, then the buyer can be considered to have defaulted towards XPat Media.

e. payments done by the buyer will be considered to be towards the payment of any interest or costs due. Only once these have been paid, will any payments be considered to be done towards the payment of the principal sum.
f. for each order, the costs of packaging and shipping will be charged.
Article 7. Title retention
The goods delivered by XPat Media remain her property until all her claims have been paid. The risk related to the goods passes to the buyer on the moment of delivery.
