shall be preserved by the Client intact as delivered and shall continue to remain at their risk for a period of fifteen (15) working days from notification of the claim within which time the Company, or its agent, shall have the right to attend the Client’s premises in order to investigate the complaint and inspect the Goods/Service as supplied.
