Article 12: Delivery date

The obligation of De Kraftkantine to an agreed upon final deadline is voided if the Agreement is amended in accordance with article 6 paragraph 2 and 3, unless otherwise agreed in writing or the minor significance of the change or the minor delay by De Kraftkantine does not reasonably require amending of its initial planned deployment of production capacity.
Client is with the fulfillment of the Agreement by De Kraftkantine required to do all that is reasonably necessary or desirable to make a timely delivery by De Kraftkantine possible, which includes promptly answering questions from De Kraftkantine, and at its request providing information.
If Client fails to comply with the stipulation of the preceding paragraph of this article and paragraph 2 of article 10, an agreed upon final deadline is no longer binding and Client is in default even if De Kraftkantine gives no written notice.

De Kraftkantine is entitled to substitute a new and improved fulfillment of the Agreement for the previous unproper fulfillment, unless it cannot be remedied.
The fulfillment of the Agreement between parties is proper if Client has failed to perform an examination or give notice in time, as referred to in paragraph 1 of this article.
If the period of 14 days referred to in the first paragraph of this article must be considered as unacceptably short in relation to standards of reasonableness and fairness for a careful and attentive Client, this period will be extended until the first moment the examination or notice to De Kraftkantine can reasonably take place.
The fulfillment of the Agreement by De Kraftkantine is any case proper if Client has, in whole or in part, used, edited, processed or delivered to third parties the goods that De Kraftkantine delivered unless Client has complied with the provisions of the first paragraph of this article.
