9.4  In the event of a lack of conformity of the products purchased with respect to the description published on the Site, the user is entitled to repair or replace the product, at no additional cost, where this is possible in relation to the number of copies still available for sale and unless the replacement or repair would not be excessively onerous for the seller in view of the value that the goods would have, if there were no conformity defect, and the extent of such defect. Alternatively, the user is entitled to terminate the contract or reduce the price in accordance with the following provisions.

9.5 The seller is liable to the consumer for any lack of conformity existing at the time of delivery of the product and which occurs within two years of such delivery.

In the event of a price reduction, OZ will return the amount of the reduction previously agreed with the user.
