If delivery is not made within the 14-day period, the order is considered canceled without liability for either party. If a specifi c delivery time has been agreed upon and UWR has exceeded this deadline – without force majeure, see Section 13 – and the delivery is still not delivered, the Customer may demand in writing that delivery be made and set a fi nal reasonable deadline, which may not be shorter than 5 working days (not including Saturday) from the date of receipt of the written demand by UWR.

8. Defects and complaints:

8.1 Complaints regarding defects must be made in writing and immediately upon discovery of the defect. If the Customer fails to do so, the right to assert the defect and to exercise remedies for breach of contract shall
be forfeited.

8.2 UWR shall be entitled and obliged to remedy defects or replace defective deliveries within a reasonable time. If UWR does not remedy or replace defective deliveries within a reasonable time after the Customer has made a written and timely complaint, the Customer shall be entitled to terminate the agreement with respect to the defective part of the delivery by written notice to the Seller. This right is the Customer’s sole remedy for breach of contract in the event of defective deliveries.

8.3 The Customer cannot maintain a purchase and at the same time demand a proportionate reduction or compensation.

8.4 Only documented design, manufacturing and material defects in the delivered goods are considered as deficiencies as well as the delivery of an insuffi cient quantity where the customer can assume that what
has been delivered is intended to serve as complete fulfi llment of the agreement.

8.5 The fact that the delivered goods do not meet special – stated or unstated – requirements of the customer shall not be deemed to constitute a defect in the goods.

8.6 The Customer must therefore always check and ensure in advance that the good or goods can actually meet such requirements. The customer shall, as soon as possible, make a reasonable examination of the goods.

8.7 Defects that could have been discovered during such an inspection can only be claimed if the customer complains directly to UWR within 3 days of receipt of the goods. In the event that the defect consists of the delivery of an insufficient quantity, the customer must complain immediately after delivery in order to be able to assert the defect.

8.8 In the event of visible defects and transport damage, the customer must also sign any consignment note/complaints immediately. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure and store the products safely in every respect, and all handling on the construction site is the customer’s responsibility. Damaged products resulting from improper handling and storage will not be replaced.

8.9 Defects that could not be detected by an inspection as mentioned above, the customer must complain immediately when the customer discovers these. In any case, a written complaint must be submitted within 30 days of delivery.

8.10 The Customer may only initiate repairs itself without prior agreement with UWR in cases where this is absolutely necessary to avoid or limit extensive damage to persons or goods. There must be a report from the customer in which defects are photo-documented on the day they are observed. UWR may make the redelivery conditional on the customer returning the defective parts.

9. Construction delivery clause

To the extent that the goods covered by a delivery are used at a later stage of turnover for the execution of a contract agreed in accordance with the General Terms and Conditions for Works and Deliveries in Construction and Civil Engineering (AB 18), and if the delivery concerns building materials or other deliveries covered by Section 12(5) of AB 18, the time limit mentioned in the previous paragraph is a maximum of 5 years from delivery of the building. However, the above does not apply if the contractor can fail to comply with the provisions of AB 18, section 12(5) on supplier liability.

9.2 The above only applies if it is stated in either the quote or order confirmation that the goods in the delivery are to be used for the execution of a contract in accordance with AB 18. The Customer shall have no other
remedies for defects other than the right to have the defects remedied as soon as possible by repair in the cheapest way for UWR, redelivery or subsequent delivery.

10. Limitations of Liability:

10.1 In no event shall UWR be liable for operating losses, loss of profit or other indirect losses and consequential damages, including penalty payments or payment of other fines, due to delay or defects in the product sold, unless UWR has acted intentionally or with gross negligence.

UWR shall not be liable for any further defects or reduced yield as a result of defective delivery.

10.5 UWR accepts no liability for any errors or information in any written material provided by UWR’s supplier about the goods. This applies to any sales material, descriptions, user manuals, etc.

2) UWR does not accept liability for damages in the event that the product sold is used for, incorporated into or is part of another finished product that is used for a purpose other than the descriptive guidelines of the UWR System.

3) UWR is not liable for damages arising from the fact that UWR’s products must comply with mandatory regulations issued by public authorities.

4) To the extent that UWR may be subject to product liability towards third parties, the Customer is obliged to indemnify UWR to the same extent as UWR’s liability is limited in the foregoing.

5) The customer is obliged to be sued in the same court that hears the claim for damages against UWR for damages arising from the sold goods.

12. Third party rights:

12.1 In no cases shall UWR be liable to the Customer for any infringement of third-party rights, including – but not limited to – any infringement by the Customer through the use of UWR products. I If the customer uses UWR products in a way that infringes the rights of third parties, the customer shall indemnify UWR for any claims that third parties may have against UWR.

13. Force majeure

13.1 The following circumstances shall exempt UWR from liability if they prevent timely or defect-free delivery by UWR or make performance unreasonably burdensome: Labour disputes, strikes, lockouts and any
other circumstances beyond the control of the parties, such as fi re, war, mobilisation or unforeseen military call-up of similar magnitude, requisition, seizure, currency restrictions, riots and civil commotion, unusual weather and natural disasters, including volcanic eruptions and stormwater, shortage of means of transportation, general scarcity of goods, restrictions on motive power and shortages or delays in deliveries from suppliers caused by any of the circumstances mentioned in this clause. Circumstances as mentioned, which occurred prior to the submission of the offer/contract conclusion, shall only result in exemption from liability if their influence on the fulfillment of the order could not be foreseen at the time of the submission of the offer/contract conclusion.

13.2 It is incumbent on UWR to notify the Customer in writing within a reasonable time if circumstances as mentioned above occur and UWR wishes to claim exemption from liability on the basis of these circumstances.

13.3 If the delay in delivery is due to force majeure, cf. above, the delivery time shall be postponed for the duration of the force majeure situation, however, both parties shall be entitled to cancel the order for delivery of the product without liability when the hindrance has lasted for more than 4 months. This provision shall apply regardless of whether the cause of the delay occurs before or after the expiry of the agreed delivery time.

However, UWR may in any case demand that the dispute be settled by the Danish Building and Construction Arbitration Court. Any inspection and assessment is carried out according to the rules in AB 18.

16. Installation of the UWR System

16.1 Installation of the UWR System must be carried out according to legal requirements for drainage systems/special drainage systems, both for technical and environmental execution.
