  3. If the Client fails to meet its obligations, Intersens shall be entitled to suspend all deliveries until the time the Client has met its obligations.

Article 5. Force majeure

  1. In the event of force majeure, Intersens shall not be obliged to perform its obligations. In that case, there is no right to compensation for damages of the Client.
  2. Force majeure means a circumstance, beyond Intersens' will and sphere of influence, which obstructs delivery or execution or makes it impossible. Force majeure shall include: mechanical failures, transport delays, general lack of raw materials necessary, and other items or services required to carry out the agreed execution, strikes and non-timely deliveries by third parties.
  3. In the event of temporary force majeure, Intersens shall be entitled to suspend the execution. Intersens shall notify the Client of the force majeure event. Only if this force majeure should take longer than six weeks, the Client shall be entitled to dissolve the agreement without Intersens being obliged to pay compensation for damage.
  4. If Intersens has already partly met its obligations at the beginning of the force majeure, or can only partly meet its obligation, it shall be entitled to invoice separately the already delivered or deliverable part, and the Client shall be obliged to pay this invoice as if it were a separate agreement. However, this shall not apply if the already delivered or deliverable part has no independent value.

Article 6. Right of retention

  1. The ownership of the items shall, despite the actual delivery, only be transferred after the Client has paid all its debt in full to Intersens.
  2. The Client shall not be entitled to avail of the items as long as the ownership is not transferred.

  1. Complaints about delivered items or performed work must be reported to Intersens within eight days of delivery or completion of the work.

Article 10. Guarantee

  1. If any item shows material or manufacturing faults, the Client has the right to replacement, returning the concerned items or parts free of charge, within the guarantee period. If it is a material or manufacturing fault of a part of the delivered item, the specific part only shall be replaced.
