5.1 The delivery time is based on the conditions applicable at the time of conclusion of the agreement and on timely delivery of the Goods and/or services ordered by Arctus for the execution of the work. If a delay occurs through no fault of Arctus, due to a change in the working conditions or due to the fact that goods and/or services ordered in time are delayed, the delivery time shall be extended insofar as necessary. If performance is still not available within the new delivery period, Arctus shall be entitled to withdraw from the contractin whole or in part; any consideration already provided by the Customer shallbe refunded without delay. Arctus shall not be liable for impossibility ofperformance or delays in performance insofar as these are due to force majeure or other events not foreseeable at the time of contract conclusion and for which Arctus is not responsible (e.g. operational disruptions of any kind,fire, natural disasters, weather, flooding, war, riots, terrorism, transportdelays, strikes, lockouts or curfews, shortages of labour, energy or rawmaterials, epidemics, pandemics, delays in obtaining any required officialapprovals, governmental measures or prohibitions). In such cases delivery periods shall automatically be extended by the duration of the event plus a reasonable ramp‑up time. The parties shall promptly provide oneanother with the necessary information and in good faith adjust their contractual obligations to the changed circumstances.
5.2 Failure to meet the delivery deadline does not initself give the Customer the right to cancel the Contract, in whole or in part,or to claim damages. If, however, the delay reaches sixteen (16) weeks—or Arctushas notified the Customer that the delay will reach that period—the Customer may cancel the Contract by giving Arctus written notice. In that event the Customer is entitled (where applicable) to: repayment of any portion of the Price already paid; and compensation for proven loss, capped at fifteen percent(15 %) of the Price. If some Goods have already been delivered, cancellation after sixteen (16) weeks is limited to the undelivered portion, unless the Goods already delivered cannot be used independently by the Customer. In a partial cancellation, the Customer may recover the corresponding portion of the Price; and the 15 % cap is calculated only on that undelivered portion. Delayscaused by Force Majeure are governed exclusively by Article 13.
5.3 Unless expressly agreed otherwise in text form, compliance with execution and delivery periods shall be determined by the handover to the carrier, freight forwarder or other third party engaged fortransport.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise, Arctus may determine the mode of shipment and the transport person.Delivery shall be Ex Works (EXW).

Article 6 – Inspection, acceptance and warranty
6.1 The Customer shall inspect the goods delivered by Arctus no later than 14 days after handover, insofar as this is feasible in the ordinary course of business. Defects that become apparent during such inspection must be reported to Arctus in text form within an exclusion period of 14 calendar days after delivery of the goods. Warranty claims for such apparent defects are excluded if notice of defects is not given or is not given within the period stated.
6.2 If a defect that could not be detected during the inspection pursuant to Section 6.1 becomes apparent later, the Customer must report this defect to Arctus in text form within an exclusion period of 14 calendar days after discovery. Warranty claims for such hidden defects are excluded if notice of defects is not given or is not given withinthe period stated. The Customer bears the burden of proving that the defect could not have been detected during the inspection under Section 6.1. Claims must be brought in court within one (1) year of the said report, on penalty of forfeiture of all rights.
6.3 If a material defect exists, and provided that warranty claims are not excluded under Sections 6.1 and 6.2, Arctus shall, at its discretion, either remedy the defect or supply a defect‑free item by way of subsequent performance. Arctus shall bear the expenses necessary for subsequent performance, in particular transport, travel, labour and material costs. The obligation to remedy the defect shall apply exclusively to defects in the Product that are not noticeable upon inspection and, if agreed, acceptance tests, and which the Customer proves to have occurred within six (6) months after delivery as referred to in Art. 5.
6.4 If the Customer has installed or affixed the defective item, in accordance with its nature and purpose, in or to another item, Arctus shall be obliged, within the scope of subsequent performance, to reimburse the Customer for the necessary expenses of removing the defective item and installing or affixing the repaired or newly delivered defect‑free item only if the defect was not recognisable at the time of installation or affixation. The burden of proving that the defect was not recognisable rests with the Customer. The Customer’s claim for reimbursement of expenses is limited to the price of the defective item. In the case of installation of Goods delivered by Arctus, the period of six (6) months mentioned in paragraph 5 applies to both the delivered Goods and the installation of the Goods, and starts on the day that installation is completed by Arctus. This period ends in any case twelve (12) months after delivery of the Goods in accordance with Art. 5.
6.5 If remedial performance ultimately fails, the Customer may demand a price reduction proportionate to the diminished value ofthe Product, up to a maximum of fifteen percent (15%) of the invoice price forthe relevant Product. Where a defect is so serious that it substantially deprives the Customer of the benefit of the contract for the Product—or anessential part thereof—the Customer may, by written notice, rescind the contract with regard to the affected Product. Arctus shall then refund the price already paid for that Product. The Customer may also claim proven losses up to fifteen percent (15%) of that price, save that this cap does not apply in the event of intent or gross negligence on the part of Arctus.
6.6 Damage claims based on defects, the breach of any other duty arising from the contractual relationship or tort may be asserted by the Customer only for damage resulting from intentional or negligent injury to life, limb or health, damage resulting from intentional or negligent breach of a duty whose fulfilment is a prerequisite for the proper performance of the contract, and damage to property and financial loss caused by at least grossly negligent or intentional breach of duty by Arctus or by a legal representative or agent of Arctus, damage claims for property damage or financial loss basedon mere negligence are excluded.

Failure to follow provided installation and safety instructions shall void the warranty and exclude liability. The warranty does not cover damage from improper installation, use, maintenance, modification, storage, or environmental exposure beyond specified limits, including- non-observance of operating and maintenance instructions or use other than the intended normal use; - disassembly or modification by the Customer or by third parties; - from parts procured by Arctus from third parties, including Software, insofar as the third party is not liable to Arctus for this.
