5.2 In the event of an exceptionally long term of delivery AlfaVit shall inform the Customer about this by e-mail. The Customer has the right to cancel his order, if the item/title should be delivered within an exceptionally long term. AlfaVit retains the right to cancel a placed order if a title is out of print/out of stock, or it is exceptionally difficult to attain. In such a case the Customer will be offered a similar product to replace the out-of-stock one or the Customer may reserve the sum he has paid for future purchases.
5.3 Should an order include more than one item with different terms of delivery, the order will normally be despatched not until all items are ready for shipment. The delivery may, however, be divided into two or several parties at the discretion of the Customer service. In case of a mail delivery in several parties, the postage shall usually be charged only once (during the first shipment).
6. Liability (disclaimer)
AlfaVit assumes no liability whatsoever for any direct, incidental, consequential or indirect damage, arising to the Customer out of the product, non-acceptance of the order, or delay of shipment. Neither shall AlfaVit assume any liability whatsoever for the content of any material or resource in the periodical or any damage arising out of them, since such liability is on the manufacturer or the publisher.

A damaged item shall, as a rule, be replaced by delivering a flawless item. If this is not possible, a discount or another item may be discussed to settle the matter.
