PayPal Once the order has been confirmed, the Client shall be redirected to PayPal's website where he/she will be able to make the payment using his/her account or a card, including pre-paid cards, or according to the methods accepted by PayPal and in accordance with the relevant conditions.

The Client shall lose these rights if he/she fails to report the non-conformity to Longospeciality within two months of the date on which he/she discovered the defect, provided that it does not relate to a product that, by its very nature, is perishable or subject to expiry within a shorter time period, in which case the defect must be reported within that shorter period of time.
