Editorial remarks

Overview comments (CISG-Belgium database): CISG applicable to beer installation sold and installed. Buyer cannot rely on non-conformity if he knew or should have known. Avoidance of contract not allowed -- not within reasonable period -- no evidence that repairs insufficient -- therefore, no fundamental breach.
