DEFECTIVE GOODS 20.1 Notwithstanding any certificate and/or receipt that may have been issued by or on behalf of Transnet either in South Africa or overseas, Goods will be accepted at the place of delivery or at the port of shipment, as specified in this Agreement, only as regards outward condition of packages and Transnet retains the right to reject the Goods supplied, on or after arrival at the place to which they are consigned, or after they have been placed in use in South Africa, should they be found defective.
20.2 If Goods are rejected owing to latent defects becoming apparent during machining operations or other preparation necessary on the part of Transnet before they can be put into use, the Supplier shall bear all expenses incurred by Transnet in carrying out such necessary operations.
20.3 If such Goods are rejected, the Supplier will pay the following costs:
a) for Goods purchased in South Africa on an ex works basis, the cost of transport from the Supplier’s works in South Africa to the named destination where the Goods have been rejected by Transnet, plus handling charges and storage, if leviable; or
b) for Goods manufactured overseas, the Supplier shall pay all replacement costs including the overseas inland transport cost, freight and insurance charges incurred plus railage or other inland transport costs from the South African port to the place where the Goods have been rejected by Transnet, including handling charges, storage, landing charges, customs duty and surcharges, if leviable.
20.4 If Transnet requires rejected Goods to be replaced, the Supplier shall, when called upon to do so, arrange prompt replacement of the Goods within the prescribed manufacturing lead times for such Goods, as indicated in Schedule 1.
20.5 If Goods are found to be defective but the defects are, in the opinion of Transnet, not of so serious a nature as to warrant total rejection of the Goods, the Supplier shall, when called upon to do so, remedy or make good such defects at its own cost, or Transnet may remedy or make good such defects at the request of the Supplier and recover from the Supplier all costs or expenses reasonably incurred by it in doing so.
20.6 Should the Supplier fail, when called upon to remedy or make good such defects within a reasonable time or to request Transnet to do so, Transnet may proceed to remedy or make good such defects and thereafter recover from the Supplier all such costs and expenses as aforementioned.
20.7 Any amount recoverable from the Supplier in terms of this clause may, without prejudice to any other legal remedies available to Transnet, be deducted in whole or in part from any monies in the hands of Transnet which are due for payment to the Supplier.
Latent Defects Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no acceptance, or deemed acceptance, by City pursuant to this Section shall be applicable with respect to any Latent Defects. An acceptance, or deemed acceptance, by City pursuant to this Section shall not mean that City has accepted, or the other party has been relieved of, responsibility for: (i) compliance with the Laws; (ii) the proper application of construction means or methods; or (iii) correcting any portion of the Project if it later is determined that any portion of the Project is inconsistent with the Final Documents and Drawings.
Defective Work Work that, for any reason, is not in compliance with the Contract Documents. Defective Work is usually identified in a Notice of Non-Compliant Work.

To return a defective product, please contact our Customer Service Department and follow the Return of Products Instructions below.
Nonconforming Work 5.6.1 Rejection, Removal and Replacement of Nonconforming Work
Defective Product If Client rejects Products under Section 6.1 and the deviation is determined to have arisen from Patheon’s failure to provide the Manufacturing Services in accordance with the Specifications, cGMPs, or Applicable Laws, Patheon will credit Client’s account for Patheon’s invoice price for the defective Products. If Client previously paid for the defective Products, Patheon will promptly, at Client’s election, either: (i) refund the invoice price for the defective Products; (ii) offset the amount paid against other amounts due to Patheon hereunder; or (iii) replace the Products with conforming Products without Client being liable for payment therefor under Section 3.1, contingent upon the receipt from Client of all Active Materials and Client-Supplied Components required for the manufacture of the replacement Products. For greater certainty, Patheon’s responsibility for any loss of Active Materials in defective Product will be captured and calculated in the Active Materials Yield under Section 2.2.
Product Warranty Seller provides general warranties of fitness and general warranties that the goods are free from defects, for 1 year from acceptance of the goods, except as may otherwise be set forth in the Description/Proposal, or other attached warranty.
Environmental Defects If Buyer determines that with respect to the Asset there exists an Environmental Condition (other than with respect to asbestos, asbestos containing materials, or NORM, and excluding any matter set forth on Schedule 6.10) (in each case, an “Environmental Defect”), then on or prior to the Defect Claim Date, Buyer may give Seller a written notice of such Environmental Defect that sets forth the information required by this Section 3.17 (an “Environmental Defect Notice”). For all purposes of this Agreement and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived any Environmental Defect that Buyer fails to timely and properly assert as an Environmental Defect by an Environmental Defect Notice received by Seller on or before the Defect Claim Date. To be effective, an Environmental Defect Notice must set forth (a) a clear description of the matter constituting the alleged Environmental Defect, (b) a description of each Asset (or portion thereof) affected by the alleged Environmental Defect, (c) the estimated proportionate share attributable to the Assets of the estimated Lowest Cost Response to eliminate the alleged Environmental Defect (the “Environmental Defect Amount”), and (d) supporting documents and reasonably necessary for Seller to verify the existence of the alleged Environmental Defect and the Environmental Defect Amount. Buyer shall furnish Seller, on or before the end of each calendar week prior to the Defect Claim Date, Environmental Defect Notices with respect to any Environmental Defects that any of Buyer’s or any of its Affiliate’s employees, representatives, attorneys, or other environmental personnel or contractors discover or become aware of during the preceding calendar week, which notice may be preliminary in nature and supplemented prior to the Defect Claim Date; provided that notwithstanding this sentence, any Environmental Defect Notice shall be deemed timely if received by Seller prior to the Defect Claim Date.
Liability for defects 5.1 The Customer is required to inspect the delivered Products without undue delay after delivery and to report any defects.
5.2 The delivered Products are deemed to have been approved if XXXX, with regard to obvious defects, obvious shortages or other defects which were or would have been identifiable in the course of an immediate, careful inspection, has not received notifi- cation of the defect within 7 days of delivery of the product, or otherwise – in the case of unclear or hidden defects – within 7 days of the discovery of the defect or the time at which the defect was identifiable to the Customer in the course of normal use of the Product without closer inspection.
5.3 In the event of a justified complaint, the Customer will be entitled to two attempts to rectify defects or make a replacement delivery at XXXX'x discretion free of charge within a reasonable period of time. Shortages will be delivered subsequently. If two attempts to rectify defects or make a replacement delivery within a reasonable period of time are unsuccessful, the Customer will be entitled to the statutory rights, subject to the provisions of clause 7. Subsequent performance will include neither removal of the defective item nor reassembly if XXXX was not originally required to carry out assembly. The expenses required for the purpose of inspection and subsequent performance, in particular transport, travel, labour and material costs (not: removal and assembly costs), insofar as these are not increased because the subject matter of the contract is located at a place other than our Customer's place of performance, will be borne by XXXX if there is actually a defect. Otherwise, XXXX may demand compensation from the Customer for the costs incurred by the unjustified request for rectification of the defect (in particular inspection and transport costs), unless the lack of defectiveness was not identifiable for the Customer. XXXX can refuse to rectify defects or make a replacement delivery if the Customer does not fulfil its payment obligations towards XXXX to an extent that corresponds to the defect-free part of the service provided.
5.4 No warranty will be assumed, in particular, in the following cases: Unsuitable or in- correct use by the Customer or by third parties instructed by the Customer, in particular through the use of insufficiently qualified personnel, faulty assembly or commission- ing, natural wear and tear (wearing parts), faulty or negligent handling, improper maintenance, unsuitable operating materials, defective construction work, unsuitable construction land, chemical, electrochemical or electrical influences, provided XXXX is not responsible for these circumstances.
5.5 XXXX is also not required to provide a warranty insofar as defects of Products are based on defective materials supplied by the Customer or insofar as defects of Products are based on the fact that the Customer has prescribed the execution of the order ac- cording to construction plans of third parties.
5.6 A delivery of used Products agreed with the Customer in the individual case is made to the exclusion of any warranty, unless XXXX has caused the defect intentionally or through gross negligence or has fraudulently concealed the defect.
5.7 The warranty period will be one year from delivery or, where acceptance was stipu- lated, from acceptance. Replaced parts will become our property and must be sent to us at our request. If shipping, assembly or commissioning is delayed through no fault of our own, our liability will expire no later than twelve months after the transfer of risk.
5.8 The right of recovery in accordance with sections 445a, 445b German Civil Code (BGB) is excluded, unless XXXX has caused the defect intentionally or by gross neg- ligence or has fraudulently concealed the defect.
Retainage for Unacceptable Corrective Action Plan or Plan Failure If the corrective action plan is unacceptable to the Department or Customer, or implementation of the plan fails to remedy the performance deficiencies, the Department or Customer will retain ten percent (10%) of the total invoice amount. The retainage will be withheld until the Contractor resolves the performance deficiencies. If the performance deficiencies are resolved, the Contractor may invoice the Department or Customer for the retained amount. If the Contractor fails to resolve the performance deficiencies, the retained amount will be forfeited to compensate the Department or Customer for the performance deficiencies.
