5. Effect of Acceptance :

Acceptance of the VESSEL as above provided shall be final and binding so far as conformity of the VESSEL to this Contract and the SPECIFICATIONS is concerned and shall preclude the BUYER from refusing formal delivery of the VESSEL as hereinafter provided, if the BUILDER complies with all other procedural requirements for delivery as provided in Article VII hereof. However, the BUYER’s acceptance of the VESSEL shall not affect the BUYER’s right under Article IX hereof.
