4.7 If the Customer alleges that any Products are defective, it shall, if so requested by Vistafolia, return the relevant Products (unaltered and unrepaired) to Vistafolia for inspection as soon as possible and at its own risk and expense.

4.8 If the Customer rejects any delivery of the Products which do not comply with the Warranty, Vistafolia shall, within fourteen days of Vistafolia accepting that the Products do not comply with the Warranty:(a) supply replacement Products which comply with the Warranty, in which event Vistafolia shall be deemed not to be in breach of the Contract or have any liability to the Customer for the rejected Products; or(b) notify the Customer that it is unable to supply replacement Products, in which case the Customer shall be entitled to obtain a full refund of any sums paid to Vistafolia..
