Flender shall be given a reasonable period of time and opportunity to remedy the Defect. For this purpose, the Customer shall xxxxx Xxxxxxx working access to the non- conforming Supplies, shall undertake any necessary dis-assembly and re-assembly, and shall provide access to operation and maintenance data, all at no charge to Flender.
