becomes aware of information that rules out or makes the
execution of the reopening of the competition
unreasonable for the Buyer on the conditions stipulated
in the founding documents of the reopening of the
competition, or the conclusion of a Public Contract under
the given and determined conditions would not
correspond to the Buyer’s earlier necessities or
expectations due to the changed circumstances;
3.4.2.11.3. if there is no longer a necessity for the reopening of the
competition due to a reason that is independent of the
Buyer or a reason that depends on or is derived from a
change in legislature, administrative acts or actions of
higher institutions.

force majeure. Under force majeure, the Parties deem circumstances, which the Party that
was in breach of obligation could not influence, and on the grounds of the prudent person
principle the Party could not have been expected to take that circumstance into account
during the performance of the Agreement or avoid it or overcome the hindrance or its
consequence, e.g. natural disasters, power failures, hostilities, blockades. The Parties do not
deem the inability of the Seller’s third party contractual partner to perform the Agreement
as force majeure.
8.2. If any circumstance that applies to the conditions of force majeure incurred the non-
performance of the Agreement within a deadline stipulated in the Agreement or its annexes
and its effect is temporary, the behaviour of the Party in breach of obligations is excusable
only at a time when the force majeure inhibited the performance of the obligation.
8.3. Due to the event of a force majeure, the time limit for the performance of the contractual
obligation shall be postponed, but for no more than 90 calendar days, unless the Parties have
agreed otherwise.
8.4. The Party who cannot perform their obligations due to force majeure must promptly notify
the other Party of the arisen circumstance and its conclusion. Failure to notify or failure to
notify timely removes from the Party the right to refer to the excusability of the breach, i.e.
the emergence of the force majeure, and the Party who was in breach of obligation to notify
is responsible for the breach of contractual obligations, according to the stipulations of this
Agreement.
8.5. In the event that the effect of the force majeure is permanent and does not enable the Parties
to perform their contractual obligations in full or partially, the Parties have the right to
terminate or withdraw from the Agreement, by submitting a corresponding termination of /
withdrawal from the Agreement to the other Party.
8.6. Circumstances arising from the COVID-19 pandemic shall not be deemed as force majeure. In
the event that new unforeseen restrictions are implemented after the conclusion of the
Agreement, which are related to the COVID-19 pandemic and prohibit or inhibit the
performance of the Agreement, they may be deemed as force majeure.
8.7. Effects on the obligation of delivering Goods arising from the restrictions on import from the
Russian Federation and Republic of Belarus shall not be deemed as force majeure by the
Parties, provided that these circumstances were present at the moment of conclusion of the
Agreement.

any, unless agreed otherwise.
9.3. In the event that the manufacturer’s warranty for Goods is in any way more favourable
towards the Buyer (e.g. in terms of time) than the warranty obligation stipulated in the
Agreement, the Seller is obligated to provide the utilization of such warranty claim to the
Buyer, if such a circumstance arises, under more favourable conditions towards the Buyer,
which are derived from the manufacturer’s warranty conditions.
