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.
Unsafe Working Conditions Employees shall be recognized by the Employer to have the competence to determine what constitutes unsafe working conditions within their discipline. No employee shall be disciplined for refusal to work in a situation which is deemed unsafe beyond the reasonable requirements of the employee's job.
Correction of Defects 35.1 The Engineer shall give notice to the Contractor of any Defects before the end of the Defects Liability Period, which begins at Completion and is defined in the Contract Data. The Defects Liability Period shall be extended for as long as Defects remain to be corrected. 35.2 Every time notice of a Defect is given, the Contractor shall correct the notified Defect within the length of time specified by the Engineer’s notice.
Safe Working Conditions The Employer undertakes to maintain office furniture, equipment, etc., in a practical and safe condition in order to avoid injury to employees or damage to their attire. Employees, for their part and in their own interest, are expected to advise the Employer of any such potentially injurious equipment.
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.
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.
Unsafe Work Conditions No Employee shall be disciplined for refusal to work on a job which in the opinion of: (a) A member of a safety committee; or (b) A person designated by a safety committee; or (c) A safety officer after an on-site inspection and following discussion with a representative of the Employer, does not meet the standards established pursuant to the Workers' Compensation Act.
REMEDY OF DEFECTS (a) The BUILDER shall remedy, at its expense, any defects, against which the VESSEL is guaranteed under this Article, by making all necessary repairs or replacements at the SHIPYARD or elsewhere as provided for in (b) hereinbelow. In such case, the VESSEL shall be taken at the BUYER's cost and responsibility to the place selected, ready in all respects for such repairs or replacements and in any event, the BUILDER shall not be responsible for towage, dockage, wharfage, port charges and anything else incurred for the BUYER's getting and keeping the VESSEL ready for such repairing or replacing. (b) However, if it is impractical (which shall include, but not be limited to, an emergency) to bring the VESSEL to the SHIPYARD, the BUYER may cause the necessary repairs or replacements to be made elsewhere which is deemed by the BUYER with the consent of the BUILDER which shall not be unreasonably withheld, to be suitable for the purpose, provided that, in such event, the BUILDER may forward or supply replacement parts or materials under the terms described in (c) hereinbelow, unless forwarding or supplying thereof under the terms described in (c) hereinbelow would impair or delay the operation or working schedule of the VESSEL. In the event that the BUYER proposes to cause the necessary repairs or replacements to be made to the VESSEL at any shipyard or works other than the SHIPYARD, the BUYER shall first (but in all events as soon as reasonably possible) give the BUILDER notice by email or facsimile of the time and place such repairs will be made, and if the VESSEL is not thereby delayed, or her operation or working schedule is not thereby impaired, the BUILDER shall have the right to verify by its own representative(s) the nature and extent of the defects complained of. The BUILDER shall, in such case, promptly advise the BUYER by email or facsimile, after such examination has been completed, of its acceptance or rejection of the defects as ones that are covered by the guarantee herein provided. Upon the BUILDER's acceptance of the defects as justifying remedy under this Article, or upon award of the arbitration so determining, the BUILDER shall compensate the BUYER an amount equal to the reasonable cost of making the same repairs or replacements at the SHIPYARD. (c) In the event that it is necessary for the BUILDER to forward a replacement for a defective part under this guarantee, replacement parts shall be shipped to the BUYER under the C.I.F terms to the BUYER's nominated port. The BUILDER reserves the option to retrieve, at the BUILDER's cost, any of the replaced equipment/parts in case defects are remedied in accordance with the provisions in this Article. (d) Any dispute under this Article shall be referred to arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Article XIII hereof.
Title Defects 9.1 Purchaser shall have until April 21, 1999 in which to examine the Commitment and the Surveys. If Purchaser finds title to be defective, Purchaser shall, no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on April 21, 1999, notify Seller in writing, specifying the title defect(s). If Purchaser fails to give Seller written notice of any title defect(s) before 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on April 21, 1999, the defects shown in the Commitment or the Surveys shall be deemed to be waived as title objections to closing this transaction. 9.2 If Purchaser has given Seller timely written notice of defect(s) and the defect(s) render the title other than as represented in this Agreement or if any new defects appear from the date of the Commitment through the Closing Date, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause only those defects recorded after October 7, 1997 to be cured by the Closing Date. Seller agrees to remove, by payment, bonding or otherwise, any such lien (other than environmental liens) against the Property capable of removal by the payment of money or bonding. Seller shall not be obligated to (but may, in its sole and absolute discretion) cure any other defect or to buyout or settle any other claim or lien against the Property. At Seller's option, the Closing Date may be extended for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days for purposes of eliminating such title defects. If such additional time is reasonably required by Seller to cure such title defects, Seller's failure to extend the Closing Date shall be commercially unreasonable. 9.3 If Seller does not eliminate such defects as of the Closing Date, as the same may be extended under the preceding sentence, or if any new "title defects" appear between the date of the Commitment through the Closing Date which Seller does not eliminate as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the option to: 9.3.1 Close and accept the title "as is," without reduction in the Purchase Price and without claim against Seller for such title defects (except for any lien that Seller is required to cure pursuant to Section 9.2 that can be removed by the payment of money or bonding, for which credit shall be given Purchaser at the Closing unless Seller pays the same at the Closing) (and in such event, the Closing shall take place on the Closing Date); or 9.3.2 Cancel this Agreement, whereupon Escrow Agent, subject to the provisions of Section 11.3, shall return the Deposit, together with all interest earned thereon, to Purchaser, and both parties shall be released from all further obligations under this Agreement, except for those which expressly survive such termination, unless such title defects were caused by Seller's willful act or willful omission, in which event Seller shall remain liable to Purchaser for damages caused by such title defects.
