Repair or replacement are at the other party’s expense if this is due to incorrect and/or improper use of the equipment that has made repair or replacement necessary. If repair or replacement is not reasonably possible within such term of what has been agreed on with the other party, then SA, as well as the other party, is entitled to dissolve the agreement without judicial intervention. In the latter case the other party is entitled to compensation for the damages demonstrably suffered such in compliance with the provisions of article 10 (Liability of SA). Complaints considering delivered goods are considered only if they are reported no later than 24 hours after delivery or if the defectiveness is not apparent, 24 hours after the defect has been discovered, this should be verbally communicated or in writing and duly justified to SA. When in default of which, any right to fulfilment of the provisions of this article expires. Verbally communicated complaints are to be confirmed in writing within two days.

9.3 SA ensures that the staff that executes the agreed works is capable of performing the task, based on the information the other party has provided SA concerning the works to be executed.

9.4 Regarding the manufacturing or processing of goods: If the agreement (also) includes the manufacturing or processing of goods, SA will, in the event of loss or damage of the goods to be manufactured or processed, cover the costs for repair or replacement.

9.5 Regarding subcontracting: SA obliges to subcontract only while maintaining high standards of quality. If SA honours the agreement by subcontracting it fully or partially, then the subcontractor, hereinafter indicated as “the third” in this article shall not be obliged to do more than is agreed. SA will promote as much as possible that the third meets his obligations and will, if necessary in SA’s opinion, institute legal action at SA’s own expense. Should SA find that conducting court proceedings is economically or legally not justifiable, then SA will at request of the other party transfer his rights towards the third to the other party.

specified by SA, though not later than 30 days after the invoice date. The value day stated on the bank/giro account is definite and is regarded as payment date.
