8.1. Breach of contractual obligations is excusable if the party has breached the obligation due to
force majeure. The parties consider force majeure to be 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 at the time of concluding the
agreement, or to overcome the impeding circumstance or its consequence, e.g. natural
5/11
disasters, general power outages, military operations, blockade. The parties do not consider
the inability of the seller's third-party contractor to perform the agreement as force majeure.
8.2. If any circumstances corresponding to the force majeure led to a failure to perform the
agreement within the period specified in the agreement or any annexes thereto, and their
effect is temporary, the behaviour of the party who breached the contractual obligation is
only excused for the period during which the force majeure impeded the performance of the
obligation.
8.3. In the event of force majeure, the time limit for the performance of a contractual obligation
shall be postponed in accordance with the duration of the force majeure event, but for no
more than 90 days, unless otherwise agreed by the parties. In case of force majeure, the
procurement contract will be amended, if necessary, regarding the delivery time.
8.4. A party that is not able to perform its obligations due to force majeure shall immediately
notify the other party of the occurrence and ending of such a situation. Failure to notify or
untimely notification deprives the party of the right to rely on the excused non-performance,
i.e., the occurrence of force majeure, and the party that has breached the notification
obligation is liable for the breach of a contractual obligation pursuant to as provided in the
agreement.
8.5. 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 have the right to cancel or withdraw from
the agreement by giving notice of cancellation or withdrawal to the other party.
8.6. The parties shall not consider the impact of import restrictions related to the Russian
Federation and Belarus on the fulfillment of the obligation to deliver goods or provide
services as force majeure if these circumstances occurred at the time of the conclusion of the
agreement.

the buyer or from the signing of the handover-acceptance act by both parties of flawless
service provision.

time) than the contractual warranty obligation, the seller undertakes to arrange for the
realisation of the buyer’s warranty claim upon the occurrence of such an event on terms that
are more favourable to the buyer, arising from the terms and conditions of the
manufacturer’s warranty.

right to demand the replacement of all delivered goods or provided services.

8.1. Breach of contractual obligations is excusable if the party has breached the obligation due to
force majeure. The parties consider force majeure to be 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 at the time of concluding the
agreement, or to overcome the impeding circumstance or its consequence, e.g. natural
5/11
disasters, general power outages, military operations, blockade. The parties do not consider
the inability of the seller's third-party contractor to perform the agreement as force majeure.
8.2. If any circumstances corresponding to the force majeure led to a failure to perform the
agreement within the period specified in the agreement or any annexes thereto, and their
effect is temporary, the behaviour of the party who breached the contractual obligation is
only excused for the period during which the force majeure impeded the performance of the
obligation.
8.3. In the event of force majeure, the time limit for the performance of a contractual obligation
shall be postponed in accordance with the duration of the force majeure event, but for no
more than 90 days, unless otherwise agreed by the parties. In case of force majeure, the
procurement contract will be amended, if necessary, regarding the delivery time.
8.4. A party that is not able to perform its obligations due to force majeure shall immediately
notify the other party of the occurrence and ending of such a situation. Failure to notify or
untimely notification deprives the party of the right to rely on the excused non-performance,
i.e., the occurrence of force majeure, and the party that has breached the notification
obligation is liable for the breach of a contractual obligation pursuant to as provided in the
agreement.
8.5. 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 have the right to cancel or withdraw from
the agreement by giving notice of cancellation or withdrawal to the other party.
8.6. The parties shall not consider the impact of import restrictions related to the Russian
Federation and Belarus on the fulfillment of the obligation to deliver goods or provide
services as force majeure if these circumstances occurred at the time of the conclusion of the
agreement.

month warranty for all goods and/or services. If necessary, the warranty period and other
warranty conditions are specified in each procurement contract.
9.2. The warranty shall commence from the day of transfer of the goods with no deficiencies to
the buyer or from the signing of the handover-acceptance act by both parties of flawless
service provision.
9.3. If the manufacturer’s warranty is in any way more favourable to the buyer (e.g., in terms of
time) than the contractual warranty obligation, the seller undertakes to arrange for the
realisation of the buyer’s warranty claim upon the occurrence of such an event on terms that
are more favourable to the buyer, arising from the terms and conditions of the
manufacturer’s warranty.
9.4. The warranty covers all defects in the goods during the warranty period, taking into account
natural wear and manufacturer's instructions.
