Liability of the Parties 6.1. The Contractor is liable for any breach of Contract, in particular if the Service does not meet the requirements agreed upon in the Contract and its annexes. A Service is deemed to be non-compliant, inter alia, if the Contractor fails to provide proper documentation of the performance of the Service, fails to deliver it on time, fails to perform it properly or fails to provide the Contracting Authority with information on the performance of the Contract, etc. 6.2. If the Contractor breaches an obligation arising from the Contract and the breach can be remedied, the Contracting Authority has the right to file a claim against the Contractor for the elimination of breaches (hereinafter also the Claim), giving the Contractor a reasonable period of time (depending on the nature of the Service, the circumstances of the breach, 3/8  etc.). The foregoing Claim only applies to such obligations for which the Contracting Authority considers it reasonable on the basis of the nature of the obligation and if the Contracting Authority is interested in the remedy. If the Contractor fails to perform an obligation arising from a Claim within the time limit set for that purpose, the Contractor shall pay the Contracting Authority a contractual penalty of up to 0.5% of the price of the Contract for each day of delay, which was the initial time period for the performance of the obligations, but not more than 50% of the price of the Contract. 6.3. If the Contractor exceeds the deadline agreed upon in the Contract for the performance or delivery of the Service, the Contracting Authority is entitled to claim a contractual penalty from the Contractor of up to 1% of the Contract price for each day of delay. In the event of a breach of the Contract other than a failure to meet the deadline, the Contracting Authority shall be entitled to claim from the Contractor a contractual penalty of up to EUR 500 per case of breach. 6.4. In the event of a breach of the confidentiality requirement, the Contracting Authority has the right to impose and the Contractor is required to pay a contractual penalty of up to EUR 10,000 per respective instance. 6.5. In the event of a delay in payment of the invoice by the Contracting Authority, the Contractor has the right to charge the Contracting Authority the late interest provided for in subsection 113 (1) of the Law of Obligations Act on the overdue amount for each day of delay in payment, provided that the Contracting Authority has been notified of the delay within thirty (30) days of its emergence. The total amount of late interest will not exceed 10% of the overdue amount. 6.6. In the event of the damage caused to the Contracting Authority and to third parties by the failure to perform obligations agreed upon in the Contract or by improper performance thereof, the Contractor undertakes to restore the situation prior to the damage or to compensate the Contracting Authority’s incurred expenditure in order to restore the situation. 6.7. In addition to the cancellation of or withdrawal from the Contract, the Parties are entitled to claim a contractual penalty for a material breach of the Contract in proportion to the damage caused. 6.8. Contractual penalties and late interest shall be paid within 28 days from the receipt of a respective claim. The Contracting Authority has the right to deduct the amounts of the contractual penalty claims and claims for damages filed by the Contracting Authority from the fee payable to the Contractor. 6.9. The right to claim contractual penalties and late interest is valid for 180 days from the date of discovery of the respective breach. 6.10. The purpose of the contractual penalty is to ensure the performance of an agreed upon obligation, not to replace the performance thereof. Claiming the contractual penalty does not deprive the Contracting Authority of the right to claim compensation for damage caused by any breach of the Contract. 7. Force majeure 7.1. A breach of obligations arising from the Contract is excusable if the Party has breached the obligation due to force majeure. The Parties understand force majeure as a circumstance that the Party in breach was unable to control and could not be reasonably expected to take into account when entering into the Contract, or to avoid it, or to avoid the impediment or its consequence, such as natural disasters, general power cuts, acts of war or blockades. The Parties do not regard the inability of a third-party contracting partner of the Contractor to perform the Contract as force majeure. 7.2. If any circumstance of force majeure caused the non-performance of the Contract within the period prescribed in the Contract or in its annexes and its effect is temporary, the conduct of the Party in breach of a contractual obligation is excusable only at the time when force majeure prevented performance of the obligation. 7.3. The term for performance of a contractual obligation shall be postponed due to the occurrence of force majeure according to the time the circumstance was in effect. 7.4. A Party who cannot perform their obligations due to force majeure will immediately notify the other Party of the emergence and cessation of such a situation. Failure to provide notice 4/8  or untimely notice deprives the Party of the right to refer to the excusability of the breach, i.e. the occurrence of force majeure, and the Party having breached the obligation of giving notice will be liable for a breach of their contractual obligation pursuant to the provisions of the Contract. 7.5. If the effect of force majeure is permanent and does not allow the Parties to perform their contractual obligations in full or in part, the Parties may cancel or withdraw from the Contract by submitting a respective declaration of cancellation of or withdrawal from the Contract to the other Party. 7.6. The Parties shall not consider the pandemic caused by Covid 19 as force majeure at the time of the conclusion of this Contract. In the event that new unforeseen constraints related to the Covid 19 pandemic are introduced after the conclusion of this Contract which make it impossible or prevent the performance of the Contract, this may be considered as force majeure. 8. Grounds for termination of Contract 8.1. In the event of the cancellation of/withdrawal from the Contract, the Contracting Authority will grant the Contractor a reasonable term for the performance of the Contract, which may generally not be longer than 30 days. The term granted for the performance of the Contract does not relieve the Party from liability for the breach of an obligation. 8.2. The Contracting Authority is not obliged to grant a term for the performance of the Contract upon cancellation of/withdrawal from the Contract in the event of a material breach of the Contract. In such an event the Contracting Authority submits to the Contractor a written declaration of cancellation of/withdrawal from the Contract within a reasonable time after becoming aware of the material breach of the Contract. Cancellation of/withdrawal from the Contract will be deemed to have occurred as of the receipt of the declaration of cancellation of/withdrawal from the Contract by the Contractor. 8.3. Upon expiry of the additional term granted for the performance of the Contract, the Contracting Authority may submit to the Contractor a written notice of cancellation of or withdrawal from the Contract. Cancellation of or withdrawal from the Contract will be deemed to have occurred as of the receipt of the declaration of cancellation or withdrawal by the Contractor. A declaration of cancellation of or withdrawal from the Contract does not have to be submitted if the Contracting Authority has, when granting the additional term, explained in writing in advance that the Contracting Authority will cancel/withdraw from the Contract if the contractual obligation is not performed during the term. In this case, the Contract will expire after the term set by the Contracting Authority for the performance of the Contract expires and provided that the Contractor has not offered appropriate performance to the Contracting Authority. 8.4. A Party has the right to cancel or withdraw from the Contract without an additional term if the other Party has committed a material breach of the obligations arising from the Contract (material breach). Material breaches include: 8.4.1. a breach of the obligations arising from the Contract intentionally or due to gross negligence; 8.4.2. the Contractor has failed to perform their obligations within the additional term granted by the Contracting Authority; 8.4.3. the Contractor submits to the Contracting Authority a notice of refusal of performance; 8.4.4. submission of false or forged information, including on the absence of a conflict of interest; 8.4.5. a breach of the duty of confidentiality; 8.4.6. the breach of an obligation gives a Party a good reason to assume that the other Party will also fail to perform the obligation in the future; 8.4.7. the Contractor breaches the law in relation to the provision of the Services that are the object of the Contract during the Contract period. 8.5. The Contracting Authority has the right to cancel the Contract extraordinarily if a bankruptcy decision has been made or a liquidation process has been initiated in respect of the Contractor or the authorisations of the Contractor required for the performance of the 5/8  Contract expire and the Contractor does not extend them or extending the authorisations is not possible due to reasons not dependent on the Contractor. 8.6. The Contracting Authority has the right to cancel or withdraw from the Contract at any time by notifying the Contractor of this at least 30 days in advance. 8.7. Upon cancellation, the Parties are not obligated to perform the Contract.
