The Supplier shall provide such a production and delivery schedule as the Buyer may reasonably request, and the Supplier shall notify the Buyer as soon as such schedules are delayed or are likely to be delayed.

5.3 If the delivery is not made by the deadline extended in accordance with point 5.2, the Buyer may terminate or withdraw from the Contract or Purchase Order in whole or in part, and refuse to accept all subsequent deliveries of the Goods, without affecting any other rights or available remedies (e.g., contractual penalty, compensation, etc.).
5.4 In the event of a delay, the Supplier is obligated to provide the fastest possible transport at his own expense, ensuring the fastest possible delivery of goods. The Supplier must deliver all necessary certificates, other documents, instructions for use, warranty cards, and so on with the goods, without additional costs to the Buyer, in written or electronic form, or the delivery is deemed not to have been made (item 5.1)

If the ordered goods are delivered to the Buyer in greater quantities than ordered, the Buyer is not obliged to accept and pay the excess quantity. The Buyer may remove any excess delivered goods at the expense of the Supplier. In the event of a delay, obvious inability to deliver, or other breach of the Terms, the Order, or the Contract, the Buyer has the right to insist on contract termination or order fulfilment. He also has the right to withdraw from the Contract, the order, or a part of the order if the Supplier fails to fulfil its obligations in any subsequent period, and to hand over the work to another Supplier or make a cover purchase at the Supplier's expense.

The Goods must be delivered to the collection point specified in the Purchase Order. If the Goods are delivered to the wrong collection point or address, the delivery shall be deemed not to have been made.

In any case, the Supplier is responsible for any additional costs incurred in delivering the Goods to the proper location.

The Supplier may not assign or leave its receivables for recovery to third parties without the Buyer's written consent.

8. Acceptance

Any payment already made does not affect the Buyer's right to reject defective Goods. In this case, the Supplier must immediately refund the entire purchase price already paid for such Goods, and repaired or replacement Goods may be charged only upon flawless delivery once more.
Before exercising his right to purchase elsewhere, the Buyer must provide the Seller with a reasonable opportunity to replace the rejected Goods with Goods in accordance with the Contract.

If the Supplier receives an Order from the Buyer requiring a change in the Contract Price, the Supplier must notify the Buyer in writing and state the value of such changes, using the same price level as used in the tender documentation or tender (as applicable).
If the Supplier believes that such an Order of the Buyer will prevent it from fulfilling any of its obligations under the Contract, it must immediately notify the Buyer, who must decide whether the order is to be executed as soon as possible and confirm its instructions in writing, as well as amend the said obligations in justifiably necessary measures.
