4N is entitled to inform the Purchaser in writing that the contract is cancelled when a fulfillment hereof in reasonable time is impossible due to one or more of the circumstances stated in this clause.
Product liability: In case a delivery from 4N causes damage, 4N is responsible to the Purchaser for personal injury if proved that the injury is caused by 4N's fault or negligence.
In relation to the Purchaser 4N is not liable for damage on chattels personal or real property, just as 4N is not liable for any loss of profits, lost wages or any other indirect or diverted loss.
In the event that 4N may be held liable to third party according to the rules and regulations of product liability or according to general regulations on damage the Purchaser shall identify 4N as far as such a liability reaches beyond the limits stated above. The Purchaser is obliged to have prosecutions against itself filed at the same court that tries the case of claims for damages against 4N in the event of damage claimed to be caused by a mistake in one of 4N's deliveries.
Warranties: 4N warrants that the equipment in question is sold free of all encumbrances, liens, charges and claims whatsoever.
Other arrangements: The equipment will, if available, be supplied with a MSQ/MAQ-letter in accordance with Manufacturer's rules and regulations.
