  2. The delivery date shall be reasonably extended in cases of force majeure and unforeseen events arising from circumstances beyond the control of MABEG such as strikes, lockouts, stoppages, rejects, mismachining leading to rejection, delayed delivery on the part of subcontractors or other delays beyond the control of MABEG, provided that such events affect the timely performance of the contract.  This extension shall also apply if there is already default in delivery.  In important cases MABEG will notify the Purchaser of the beginning and presumable duration of such events.  The delivery date shall also be reasonably extended if the Purchaser is in arrears with his payments and other obligations, or if technical and commercial questions are not clarified within a reasonable period of time.
  3. lf a delay is proved to be due to reasons other than those specified in subsection 2 and the Purchaser has suffered a loss on account of such delay, he shall, to the exclusion of any other claims, be entitled to claim a compensation for the delay at a maximum rate of 1/2 per cent for each full week of delay, but not exceeding 5 per cent of the contract price of that portion of the total supply which by reason of such delay cannot be used in time or put to the use intended.  Any compensation payable by MABEG under this section shall be balanced at the time of final settlement.
  4. In the event of despatch being delayed for reasons beyond the control of MABEG, the costs arising from the storage of the equipment will be charged to the Purchaser. lf stored at the works of MABEG a minimum of 1/2 per cent of the invoice amount will be charged for each month, beginning one month after notification of readiness for despatch, unless the actual costs were lower.

XI. Warranty

  1. a) MABEG warrants, subject to and in accordance with the applicable legal requirements, that the supplied goods will be free of defects in material and workmanship.

    b) MABEG warrants any subsequent adjustments and replacement parts installed to the same extent as the original equipment. Parts that have been replaced shall become the property of MABEG.
     

  2. a) The period of warranty shall commence on the date on which the supplied goods are ready for operation. Readiness for operation shall be considered as having been achieved, if the handing over report enclosed to the contract has been signed by the Purchaser. In case that the supplied goods should be put into operation without the handing over report having been signed, the period of warranty shall commence on the day the supplied goods are put into operation. If the handing over report should not be signed within 14 days after it has been given to the Purchaser, the warranty period shall commence at the end of this 14 day period.
    If the supplied goods are not operated by the Purchaser but by a third party (Operator) and if the Purchaser has notified MABEG of the Operator   in writing when ordering the supplied goods, then the relevant dates for the beginning of the warranty period according to the foregoing shall be the day the handing over report is given to the Operator or signed by the Operator.

    b) The warranty period shall terminate after 12 months.

    c) In any case the warranty period shall terminate 18 months after notification of readiness for shipment has been given.

    d) All Claims related to defects falling under the warranty which have been duly notified to MABEG in writing within the warranty period shall become barred within 12 months from the date on which MABEG has received the notice of the defect. The warranty period for subsequent adjustments and replacement parts shall terminate at the same time as that of the original supplied goods.
     

  3. For the execution of necessary subsequent adjustments the Purchaser shall
    a) grant the required time and opportunity and

    b) supply at his own expense auxiliary labour and equipment and perform any incidental work. The removal of defective parts as well as the fitting of supplied new parts shall be carried out by MABEG or by MABEG-authorized personnel at the cost and risk of MABEG, if and as far as the removal and fitting by the Purchaser should not be appropriate or reasonable. Extra costs for airfreight, express deliveries and the cost of any work carried out beyond regular working hours shall in any case be borne by the Purchaser.
     

  4. The warranty shall not cover normal wear and parts which, owing to their inherent material properties or the use they are intended for, are subject to premature wear. Damage caused by improper storage, handling or treatment, overloading, the use of unsuitable fuels, oils etc., faulty construction work or foundations, unsuitable building grounds, chemical, electrochemical or electrical influences or any other circumstances which may arise through no fault of MABEG, after the passing of the risk, shall also be excluded from the warranty.

  1. the performance of the contract by MABEG has become entirely impossible.  In the event of partial impossibility the right of termination shall be subject to the Purchaser proving that the partial delivery is of no interest to him, failing which the Purchaser shall be obliged to pay the proportionate purchase price for the partial delivery. Otherwise the Purchaser may claim a reasonable reduction of the purchase price. lf the impossibility occurs while there is default in accepting delivery or owing to a fault on the part of the Purchaser, the Purchaser's obligations under the contract shall remain. lf the impossibility is beyond the control of either of the contracting parties, MABEG shall be entitled to  a part of the purchase price corresponding to the work done.
  2. the Purchaser is entitled to claim penalties in accordance with section VII, subsection 3, in full and has thereafter granted in writing a reasonable period of grace to MABEG with the express statement that he would terminate the contract after the fruitless expiration of this period and can prove that the set period of grace has been exceeded for reasons other than those mentioned in section VII,  subsection 2.
  3. the Purchaser has granted in writing a reasonable period of grace for remedying a defect recognized by MABEG and for which MABEG is at fault, in accordance with section X[, with the express statement that he would refuse to accept the delivery after the expiration of the set period of grace and MABEG has made default in observing this period.

Guarantees are only those which are expressly specified as such in writing.
  2. Irrespective thereof MABEG shall be liable in all those cases covered by the manufacturer's liability insurance maintained by MABEG, and to the extent indemnity is paid under this insurance. This manufacturer's liability insurance is governed by the German General Conditions of Liability Insurance (AHB).
  3.
