The penalty clause laid down above will be without prejudice to the obligation to pay full alternative or supplementary damages for loss of profits, consultancy costs and other costs caused by the other party's failure. The penalty thus payable explicitly does not replace the obligation to pay damages.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<u>Article\u00a0XI<\/u> - GUARANTEE\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li>Unless provided otherwise, the User will be obliged to provide guarantee during 12\u00a0months after delivery of the items purchased or after completion of the work performed.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>The duty to provide guarantee means that the goods delivered or the parts thereof that turned out to be defective within the agreed-upon guarantee period due to material, constructional or manufacturing errors will be repaired or - at the User's discretion - replaced by the User free of charge.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>The duty to provide guarantee will in any case lapse in the event that one or more of the following circumstances occur.\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>The User is not notified of the unsoundness of the goods or parts delivered within 14 days of such unsoundness being noted.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>The unsoundness is the result of defects caused by normal wear and tear, unprofessional handling or unprofessional or improper maintenance, or the result of defects that occur after the introduction or implementation of changes or repairs by or on behalf of the other party or by third parties.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>The other party fails to fulfil all of its obligations vis-\u00e0-vis the User, regardless of the agreement from which such obligations ensue.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\n<u>Article\u00a0XII<\/u> - LIABILITY\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li>Without prejudice to any other provisions laid down in these Standard Terms and Conditions, the User will be liable only for such direct damage of the other party as is the direct and exclusive consequence of such non-performance by the User as may be attributed to it On the understanding, however, that liability will be limited to the amount of the invoice to which the User is entitled (exclusive of VAT) with respect to the specific agreement from which liability ensues or, in the event that several invoices were sent for portions of the full sum, to the amount of the invoice to which the User is entitled (exclusive of VAT) with respect to that part of the agreement from which liability ensues.
