could not be expected to take this circumstance into account or to avoid it during the
conclusion of the public contract, or to overcome the impeding circumstance or its
consequence, such as natural disasters, general power outages, hostilities, blockade. The
inability of a third-party contractual partner of the seller to perform the public contract is
not considered force majeure.
8.2. If any circumstance meeting the conditions of force majeure led to the non-performance of
the public contract within the term specified in the public contract or its annexes, and its
effect is temporary, the behaviour of the party that breached the obligation arising from
the public contract is excusable only during the time when the force majeure prevented the
fulfilment of the obligation.

contractual obligation is postponed according to the time of the effect of the circumstance,
but not for more than 90 days, unless the parties have agreed otherwise.
8.4. A party that cannot perform its obligations due to force majeure must immediately notify
the other party of the occurrence and end of the situation. Non-notification or untimely
notification deprives the party of the right to refer to the excusability of the breach, i.e. the
occurrence of force majeure, and the party that breached the obligation to notify is
responsible for the breach of the contractual obligation under the provisions of the public
contract.
8.5. If the effects of the force majeure event are permanent and do not allow the parties to
perform their contractual obligations in whole or in part, the parties have the right to cancel
the public contract or withdraw from the contract by giving the other party a relevant notice
of cancellation or withdrawal from the public contract.
8.6. The parties do not treat the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic as force majeure. If,
after the conclusion of the public contract, new unforeseen restrictions related to the
Covid-19 pandemic or other pandemic disease outbreak occur, and due to which the
performance of the public contract is not possible or is hindered, then this may be
considered as force majeure.
5/10
8.7. The parties do not consider the impact of import restrictions related to the Russian
Federation and Belarus on the performance of the obligation to supply goods as force
majeure if these circumstances were present when the public contract was concluded.

9.2. With the public contract, the seller provides a warranty on the goods for at least 12 months,
unless otherwise agreed in the public contract.
9.3. The warranty starts from the day the goods are handed over to the buyer.
9.4. If the manufacturer’s warranty of the goods is in any way more favourable to the buyer (for
example, in terms of time) than the warranty obligation specified in the general terms and
conditions or the public contract and if such a warranty case arises, the seller undertakes
to organise the realisation of the claim for payment to the buyer under the more favourable
warranty terms of the manufacturer.
9.5. The warranty covers all defects that appear on the product during the warranty period,
taking into account natural wear and tear, unless otherwise agreed in the public contract.
9.6. The buyer undertakes to notify the seller of the defects to the email address of the seller,
unless otherwise agreed in the public contract.

receipt of the buyer’s justified claim for payment. With the written consent of the buyer,
this period can be longer.

9.9. The goods replaced during the warranty period are given a new warranty with the same
duration as the original warranty.
10. Terms of confidentiality and security
10.1. The parties understand confidential information to be information that became known
during the performance of the public contract, personal data, security data, documents
clearly marked for internal use, and other information whose disclosure could harm the
interests of the buyer. Confidential information does not include information that is
required to be disclosed by legislation, provided that such disclosure is carried out in the
most limited way possible.

confidential information of the other party, including information intended for internal use,

has the right to refuse to let the seller and its subcontractor(s) into the territory.
6/10

including press releases and references to the buyer in an advertisement or online

public contract.

contract, unless otherwise agreed in the public contract.
12.10. In addition to cancelling the public contract or withdrawing from the public contract, the
parties have the right to demand liquidated damages for a serious breach in the amount of
the caused damage.
12.11. If the seller breaches other obligations under the public contract than the timely delivery,
the buyer has the right to demand from the seller liquidated damages of up to 5000 euros
for each breach, unless otherwise agreed in the public contract. If different liquidated

separately agreed liquidated damages rate shall be applied specifically for that breach.

liquidated damages of up to 10,000 euros from the breaching party for each relevant case.

arrears shall not exceed 10% of the delayed amount.
12.16. Liquidated damages are agreed upon to ensure the performance of an obligation, not to

breach.
12.18. Liquidated damages and interest on arrears shall be paid within 28 days of receiving the

13.1. Upon cancellation/withdrawal of the public contract, the buyer shall give the seller a
reasonable period of time to perform the contract, which cannot generally be longer than
30 days. The deadline given for the performance of the public contract does not release the
party from responsibility for the breach.
13.2. Upon the expiry of the additional term given for the performance of the public contract,
the buyer may submit to the seller a written notice to cancel or withdraw from the public
contract. Cancellation of, or withdrawal from, the public contract is deemed to have
occurred from the date of receipt of the cancellation or withdrawal notice by the buyer. It
is not necessary to submit the cancellation or withdrawal notice if the buyer has previously
explained in writing when granting the extension that the buyer will cancel the public
contract / withdraw from the public contract if the contractual obligation is not fulfilled
within the term. In that case, the public contract ends upon the expiration of the deadline
set by the buyer for the performance of the public contract if the seller has not offered the
8/10
buyer adequate performance.
13.3. The party has the right to cancel or withdraw from the public contract without extension if
the party has significantly breached the obligations arising from the public contract (serious
breach of contract). In this case, one party submits a written notice of
termination/withdrawal of the public contract to the other party within a reasonable time
after learning of the serious breach. Cancellation/withdrawal of the public contract is
deemed to have occurred upon receipt of the cancellation/withdrawal notice. Serious
breaches of contract occur, among other things, if:

contract are breached intentionally or due to gross negligence;
13.3.2. the seller has failed to perform its obligations within the extended deadline

13.3.10. the seller has breached the general terms and conditions and/or the terms of a
related procurement and/or the public contract more than three times.
13.4. The buyer has the right to exceptionally cancel the public contract if a bankruptcy decision
has been made against the seller, a liquidation process has been initiated, or the permits
necessary for the performance of the obligations of the seller expire, and the extension of
the permits is not possible due to circumstances beyond its control.
13.5. The buyer has the right to cancel the public contract at any time by notifying the seller at
least 90 days in advance unless otherwise stipulated in the public contract.

8. Force majeure
8.1. Breach of obligations arising from the public contract is excusable if the party breached an
obligation due to force majeure. The parties consider force majeure a circumstance that
the breaching party could not influence and, based on the principle of reasonableness,
could not be expected to take this circumstance into account or to avoid it during the
conclusion of the public contract, or to overcome the impeding circumstance or its
consequence, such as natural disasters, general power outages, hostilities, blockade. The
inability of a third-party contractual partner of the seller to perform the public contract is
not considered force majeure.
8.2. If any circumstance meeting the conditions of force majeure led to the non-performance of
the public contract within the term specified in the public contract or its annexes, and its
effect is temporary, the behaviour of the party that breached the obligation arising from
the public contract is excusable only during the time when the force majeure prevented the
fulfilment of the obligation.
8.3. Due to the occurrence of force majeure, the deadline for the performance of the
contractual obligation is postponed according to the time of the effect of the circumstance,
but not for more than 90 days, unless the parties have agreed otherwise.
8.4. A party that cannot perform its obligations due to force majeure must immediately notify
the other party of the occurrence and end of the situation. Non-notification or untimely
notification deprives the party of the right to refer to the excusability of the breach, i.e. the
occurrence of force majeure, and the party that breached the obligation to notify is
responsible for the breach of the contractual obligation under the provisions of the public
contract.
8.5. If the effects of the force majeure event are permanent and do not allow the parties to
perform their contractual obligations in whole or in part, the parties have the right to cancel
the public contract or withdraw from the contract by giving the other party a relevant notice
of cancellation or withdrawal from the public contract.
8.6. The parties do not treat the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic as force majeure. If,
after the conclusion of the public contract, new unforeseen restrictions related to the
Covid-19 pandemic or other pandemic disease outbreak occur, and due to which the
performance of the public contract is not possible or is hindered, then this may be
considered as force majeure.
5/10

Federation and Belarus on the performance of the obligation to supply goods as force
majeure if these circumstances were present when the public contract was concluded.

to organise the realisation of the claim for payment to the buyer under the more favourable
warranty terms of the manufacturer.

taking into account natural wear and tear, unless otherwise agreed in the public contract.

clearly marked for internal use, and other information whose disclosure could harm the
interests of the buyer. Confidential information does not include information that is
required to be disclosed by legislation, provided that such disclosure is carried out in the

perform the public contract, the seller undertakes to comply with the applicable security
terms (Annex 4). If the seller uses subcontractors in the said territory, the buyer must give

buyer the right not to conclude the public contract or to cancel the public contract
exceptionally without observing the notice period.

including press releases and references to the buyer in an advertisement or online

11.1. If the goods or part thereof (including the related documentation) are protected by

the license. The terms of transfer and use of intellectual property rights may differ in the
public contract.
12. Responsibility

public contract if the non-conformity is present at the time of the transfer of the risk of
accidental destruction and damage to the buyer and if the non-conformity of the goods to
the terms of the public contract is discovered (that is, the defects could not be detected
during their normal inspection, or so-called hidden defects) after the said risk transfer to
the buyer.
12.4. In case of unsatisfactory performance of the public contract by the seller, the buyer has the
right to refuse to accept the goods and pay the purchase price and the right to submit a
claim to the seller for the fulfilment of the obligation after discovering the breach of the
obligation, giving the seller a reasonable deadline to perform the public contract. The
delivery by the seller is considered delayed until the goods are properly delivered to the
buyer. An additional deadline will not be granted if the buyer is no longer interested in
these goods.
12.5. The goods do not comply with the terms of the public contract, among other things, if they
do not have the agreed properties, are not in the agreed quantity, cannot be used for the
intended purpose, a third party has a claim against the goods or other rights that can be

or there is no waybill.

the fulfilment of the obligation from the seller, also giving the seller a reasonable deadline,
generally not longer than 7 days, to perform the contract. The buyer can change the named
deadlines in the related procurement.
12.7. If the buyer does not notify the seller of a defect within the specified timeframe after
becoming aware of the defect, the seller is released from responsibility for the defects,

arrears shall not exceed 10% of the delayed amount.
12.16. Liquidated damages are agreed upon to ensure the performance of an obligation, not to

13.1. Upon cancellation/withdrawal of the public contract, the buyer shall give the seller a
reasonable period of time to perform the contract, which cannot generally be longer than
30 days. The deadline given for the performance of the public contract does not release the
party from responsibility for the breach.
13.2. Upon the expiry of the additional term given for the performance of the public contract,
the buyer may submit to the seller a written notice to cancel or withdraw from the public
contract. Cancellation of, or withdrawal from, the public contract is deemed to have
