If these conditions are not respected, the responsibility of the suppliers towards the customer, because of a hidden defect, cannot be called into question. The defects and deterioration of the delivered products consecutive to abnormal conditions of storage and conservation at the customer, in particular in the event of accident of some nature that it is, will not be able to open right, with the guarantee due by the supplier. Under the guarantee of the hidden defects, the supplier will be held only of the replacement without expenses of the defective goods, without the customer being able to claim with the obtaining of the damages and interests, for some cause that it is.
