Alternatively, Vega will send back the product to the Customer (still at the expense of the Customer and with fees to be paid by them).
  15. The fact that the products are within warranty does not mean, not even implicitly, that Vega acknowledges any fault and/or defect in the making of such products, and it does not mean that Vega is to refund the Customer.
