3. If delivery is not made within the agreed time due to circumstances of force majeure occurring in the period from the beginning of the contract to the stipulated deadline for delivery, this delivery term is reasonably prolonged. Force majeure is considered to be a hindrance which obstructs the obligated party in the performance which has occurred independently of its will, for which it can not reasonably be assumed that the obligated party would avert or overcome this obstacle or its consequences and which did not arise until the time the obligated party was in default of fulfilling its obligation and which did not arise from the economic relations of the obligated party. In particular, natural disasters (such as flood, storm, unusual heat, unusual cold, unusual drought, tornado, blizzard, tropical storm, hurricane, hail, landslide, volcanic eruption and its consequences, slit, avalanche, earthquake and its consequences, unusual solar eruptions, the impact of a space object, etc.), war, mobilization, riots and similar events, strikes, closures, delays or non-granting of official authorization (in particular export authorization from the competent authority in the producer country) delivery is necessary.

4. The Supplier is authorized to make the delivery even before the agreed performance date: such performance is considered to be proper and the Customer is obliged to accept it.

VII. Transfer of Ownership, Risk of Damage

1. The Customer acquires ownership of the subject of delivery by full payment of the purchase price. The subject of delivery remains until the full payment and takeover to the Supplier, without prejudice to the arrangements for the passing of the risk of accidental destruction of the delivery to the ordering party.

  • upon delivery of the goods at the moment of taking over the goods (or agreed partial deliveries) by the Customer or by sending it or handling it over to the carrier. At the Customer’s request and cost, however, the Supplier may provide delivery insurance against normal transport risks.

3. If, for reasons on the part of the Customer, the delivery is delayed or the delay of delivery to the carrier, or delaying the commencement or termination of the installation, assembly or trial operation, the risk of damage to the delivery on the Customer occurs on the first day of such delay by the Customer.
