by written notice to the Buyer request permission to proceed with the resumption of the work within 60 days of the notice.
If permission is not granted within that time, the Seller may treat the suspension as an omission on behalf of the Buyer and terminate the

The Seller shall keep the site and any temporary structure free from the accumulation of stored materials and/or rubbish. Furthermore, he
will undertake to clear up and clean the area daily and at the end of the works.
The Seller, having seen the Buyer’s documentation here attached or mentioned and having surveyed the site where the work has to be
carried out, by signing this Contract makes an express declaration that he is perfectly aware of the scope of the work to be carried out and
of its difficulties.
Any mistake and/or fault and/or inexact assessment of the difficulties in relation to the work to be carried out and to the costs which the
Seller may encounter in the inquiries and evaluations as indicated above, shall not exonerate in respect to any point of view, with the work
proposed in this Contract.
If the Seller:
(a) has failed to comply within a reasonable time with the said notice, or
(b) assigns the Contract or subcontracts the whole of the works without the Buyer’s written consent, or
(c) becomes bankrupt or insolvent, has a receiving order made against him or compounds with his creditors, or carries on business under a
receiver, trustee of manager for the benefits of his creditors or goes into liquidation,

complete, and approved from the Final Customer, the Buyer shall be entitled to recover from the Seller the extra costs, if any, of completing
the works after allowing for any sum due to the Seller as a result of the valuation carried out at the date of termination, as above.
32. SUBCONTRACTING
The Seller shall under no circumstances subcontract to anyone works or services, not even in reference to a part of the work or to individual
activities, except with the express written authorization of the Buyer.
In such cases the Buyer's authorization does not absolve the Seller from his contractual obligations and responsibilities and, thus, the Seller
shall be directly and wholly responsible for the actions of the said subcontractor/s just as if they were their own actions, the Buyer remaining
completely extraneous to such a relationship. The Seller shall therefore be obliged to ensure that the present regulations and provisions are
also brought to the attention of the said subcontractor and are observed by them on signing. In particular, imposing on them the obligation
to recognize the right of the Buyer to exercise towards them the authority as given in this Contract.
“Technical Data”, hereafter known as TD, are the information, plans, software, designs, sketches, graphics, diagrams, microfilms,

providing that set out in Article 1, or for the repair and maintenance of what is received.
While any information passed from the Seller to the Buyer may be employed and utilized by the Buyer for the sole aims and purposes of this
Contract. The Seller, in order to hold the Buyer above and free from claims related to Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) infringements, and in
accordance with the applicable Law, will obtain, under their own charge, any and all concessions, licenses and authorizations required for the
execution of the Scope of Work, as well as will bear all costs arising for fees, claims and related compensation, being the same as those of
which due account is taken in accepting this Contract. The Seller therefore undertakes to provide for the defense in law and other such
eventualities, maintaining at all times the right of the Buyer to demand compensation for damages and costs that the Buyer is obliged to
sustain for such reasons. Unless the Buyer has omitted or sent erroneous or incomplete information about the related IPR to the Seller.
The Seller undertakes as from now not to disclose any confidential information to any other person, society or association, to limit the
circulation of TD, BD, FD and Invention within his own organization and to spread it only as much as is necessary to fulfill the predetermined
aim.
The Seller furthermore undertakes not to use the TD, BD, FD and Invention provided by the Buyer for its own use and advantage, bearing in
mind that such use could cause irreparable damage to the Buyer, and so permits the immediate intervention of a competent jurisdiction.
13
The Seller, not to mention all his employees, shareholders, affiliated companies, representatives, successors, heirs and concessionaries, is
bound to observe all that is set out in this Article.

(CONFIDENTIALITY OF INFORMATION) of this Contract, undertakes also to take all reasonable measures necessary to protect information

purposes of reference the equipment which forms the subject of this Contract on condition that he attributes correctly the contractual
relationship engaged in with the Buyer, pertaining to which he will cite their corporate name and the purpose of the equipment. When
mentioning any of the Buyer's installations and machinery covered by international patents, he will ensure the relevant symbols is quoted
beside the mark itself.
The Buyer may terminate this Contract at any time and in its sole discretion by giving the Seller prior notice. If the Seller receives a notice of
termination from the Buyer, the Seller must:
stop work (except to the extent specified in the notice from the Buyer);
take such action as necessary or as the Buyer may direct, for the transfer, protection and preservation of our property; and
do its best to minimize the costs of termination to the Buyer
In case of unilateral termination of the Contract by the Buyer as stated in this Contract, the Buyer will only be liable for the payment for the
Works performed to the date of termination and for duly documented extra costs necessarily and reasonably incurred by the Seller as a
result of termination subject to the Buyer’s rights of set off.
In the event of a dispute arising the matter shall be referred to Arbitration in accordance with Article 40 (ARBITRATION).
