Interference with Tests Sample Clauses
The 'Interference with Tests' clause is designed to prevent any party from disrupting or tampering with tests or inspections conducted under the agreement. In practice, this means that neither party may obstruct, delay, or otherwise influence the outcome of required tests, such as quality control checks, safety inspections, or performance evaluations. By prohibiting interference, the clause ensures that test results remain accurate and reliable, thereby maintaining the integrity of the evaluation process and protecting both parties from disputes arising from compromised testing procedures.
Interference with Tests. If the Contractor is prevented, for more than 14 days, from carrying out the Tests on Completion by a cause for which the Employer is responsible, the Employer shall be deemed to have taken over the Works or Section (as the case may be) on the date when the Tests on Completion would otherwise have been completed. The Engineer shall then issue a Taking-Over Certificate accordingly, and the Contractor shall carry out the Tests on Completion as soon as practicable, before the expiry date of the Defects Notification Period. The Engineer shall require the Tests on Completion to be carried out by giving 14 days' notice and in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Contract. If the Contractor suffers delay and/or incurs Cost as a result of this delay in carrying out the Tests on Completion, the Contractor shall give notice to the Engineer and shall be entitled subject to Sub-Clause 20.1 [Contractor's Claims] to:
(a) an extension of time for any such delay, if completion is or will be delayed, under Sub-Clause 8.4 [Extension of Time for Completion], and
(b) payment of any such Cost plus reasonable profit, which shall be included in the Contract Price. After receiving this notice, the Engineer shall proceed in accordance with Sub-Clause
Interference with Tests. If by reason of any failure of the Purchaser (except any failure caused by an event of Force Majeure) to comply with its obligations under Clause 11 to make available requisite the Purchaser Input including the feedstock as per the schedule in the Programme, or such date as mutually agreed between the Parties (except for events of Force Majeure), or if by reason of any act or omission of the Purchaser, the Engineer or some other contractor employed by the Purchaser, the Contractor shall be prevented from carrying out the Tests on Completion and achieve the requirements for the issuance of a Taking Over Certificate in accordance with Clause 29 then the date stipulated in the Contract for the Final Performance Acceptance, achievement of which has been prevented or delayed, shall be extended by the period of such delay which has affected each such Test, and the Contractor shall be entitled to request for an extension of Time for Completion under Clause 33 and additional Cost incurred by the Contractor under Clause 41.
