The percentages referred to in the previous paragraph are fixed, unless Costa Mobility Service can prove that its damage is greater. For products that must be custom-made and, as a result, are ordered specifically for the customer, including partial deliveries and adjustments, Costa Mobility Service is entitled to claim a maximum of 75% of the amount that should have been paid upon implementation of the agreement.

2. When returning an article, the customer is responsible for the damage-free and faultless return of the required article, even if this concerns transport damage or loss. Extra good packaging of the product, protected against bumps, moisture and dirt, is strongly recommended, regardless of how the package was delivered to the customer. To avoid discussion, Costa Mobility Service advises the customer to take photos of the condition of the item before shipment and to take photos of the package as it is offered to the carrier. In this way, the customer can claim any transport damage from the carrier. For extra security, the item can be sent insured or the customer can return the item to the store. If the article already has a defect upon receipt, the customer must report this to Costa Mobility Service in writing or by e-mail within 24 hours of receipt of the product, with photos of the defect (see also Article 6). If this is not done, it is assumed that any damage or defect occurred at the customer or during transport from the customer to Costa Mobility Service. Damage or defect will be reasonably charged to the customer.

3. If an article falls outside the return conditions or cannot be accepted for return by Costa Mobility Service for any other reason (for example damage or loss), the costs for return delivery to the customer will be charged to the customer.
