In that case, BOER BELGIUM B.V.B.A. is entitled to full indemnification.

Article 7. Retention of title.

7.1. All materials supplied by BOER BELGIUM B.V.B.A. will remain the property of the latter until the customer has made payment of the full price and of the full compensation that is owed to BOER BELGIUM B.V.B.A. in terms of the capital sum, interest and costs.

9.3. Furthermore, by operation of law and without further notice of default being required, compensation is owed, estimated at 10% of the outstanding amount, without this payment being allowed to be lower than the administration of juristic compensation laid down by the King in the enforcement of article 1022 of the Belgian civil code.
9.4. In the event that the customer does not pay within the aforementioned period, the latter will acknowledge that it has committed a contractual error, which has caused damage to BOER BELGIUM B.V.B.A. and that could give rise to the enforcement of art. 10.

11.6. For defects that only arise 2 years after delivery, the consumer-buyer can institute an indemnification claim for hidden defects within a period of 6 months after discovery of the defect. Moreover, on penalty of cancellation, this claim has to be instituted within 4 years of the delivery.
