Any complaints about malfunctions or defects in the Products, including differences in quantity, weight, composition, or quality between the Products supplied and the description given for them in the Agreement, must be reported to Norrdex AB in writing, stating reasons, within two working days of delivery or Completion respectively. Malfunctions or defects that cannot reasonably be detected within the aforementioned period must be reported to Norrdex AB in writing, stating reasons, immediately after they are detected and at the latest within sixty days after delivery or Completion. In the absence of timely complaints, all possible claims by the Client regarding malfunctions or defects in respect of the Products shall lapse.

13.2 Without prior written permission from Norrdex AB, the Client shall not make or allow any changes in or to the Products and shall not apply any materials to or on the Products.

13.3 Changes and/or repairs may only be made by Norrdex AB unless the Client has been given written permission to carry out these activities themselves or by third parties.

13.4 The Client shall be deemed to have received the Products in good condition and state of repair.

The Client shall be responsible for all minor and daily repairs to the rented property or Products subject to Norrdex AB’s reservation of title, including cleaning and unclogging of drains, supply and drainage pipes, sanitary installations, sinks, maintenance of gas and electricity pipes, shutters, blinds, awnings, taps, locks and hinges, interior painting, and windows.

13.5 The Client is responsible for the daily management of the (collective) water system. If and to the extent required by law or regulations, Norrdex AB will provide the Client with a “risk analysis” of this installation upon delivery of the Products and subsequently draw up a management plan. For the risk analysis, the Client must provide Norrdex AB with the necessary information regarding the use of the installation. The costs of the risk analysis and the management plan shall be borne by the Client.

13.6 In the event of frost and snow, the Client must take all measures to prevent heating systems and/or pipes from freezing. Damage to the Products caused by freezing shall be borne by the Client.

13.7 Norrdex AB shall be entitled to inspect the Products from time to time. If Norrdex AB is of the opinion that the Products are being used improperly or neglected, Norrdex AB shall be entitled to repossess the Products and/or to restore them or have them restored to a good state of repair and maintenance, all this at the expense of the Client.

13.8 If, at the end of the rental period (upon return to the depots of Norrdex AB or third parties engaged by them), Norrdex AB is of the opinion that the Products are no longer in a good state of repair and maintenance, with the exception of normal wear and tear, Norrdex AB will inform the Client accordingly and restore the Products (or have them restored) to their original state of repair at the Client’s expense.

13.9 In connection with the use, maintenance, and storage of the Products by the Client, the Client must comply with all legal requirements, including permit requirements or instructions from the competent authority.

15.1 During the rental period, or in the event of a sale while the Products are still under Norrdex AB’s reservation of ownership, the Client is prohibited from attaching the Products to immovable property, including the ground, by means of earth or nail. However, if in the case of rental, the Client acts contrary to this, this does not create ownership of the rented Products for the owner of the land, since by the rental agreement the parties intend only temporary use of the rented Products on site.

15.2 During the periods referred to in Article 15, paragraph 1, the Client shall, at Norrdex AB’s first request, establish a right of building on the Products delivered, without Norrdex AB having to pay any fee for this. The building rights will be established at the expense of the Client.

ARTICLE 16 – TERMINATION OF THE AGREEMENT

16.1 If:

a. The Client files for their own bankruptcy, is declared bankrupt, or applies for a suspension of payments; or

d. The Client fails to pay an invoice amount or part thereof within the stipulated period; or

e. All or part of the Client’s assets are seized,

the Client shall be deemed to be in default by operation of law and the Client’s (remaining) debt to Norrdex AB shall be immediately due and payable.

16.2 Norrdex AB shall then be entitled to terminate the Agreement in whole or in part with immediate effect without notice of default or judicial intervention and without prejudice to Norrdex AB’s other rights, such as rights relating to penalties already due, interest, and the right to compensation. Norrdex AB shall not be obliged to pay any compensation to the Client in the event of termination of the Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Article.

16.3 In the event that a situation as referred to in Article 16, paragraph 1 arises, Norrdex AB will be entitled to take back the Products, free of all rights of the Client and without the obligation to deliver the Products back to the Client. In such a case, Norrdex AB and its authorized representative(s) shall be entitled to enter the premises and buildings of the Client in order to take possession of the Products. The Client is obliged to take the necessary measures to enable Norrdex AB to enforce its rights and must remove items not supplied by Norrdex AB that are in the Products in good time. Norrdex AB shall not be liable for any items contained in the Products supplied by Norrdex AB at the time of taking possession.

ARTICLE 17 – DUTY OF INFORMATION

17.1 During the rental period or (in case of sale) while the Products are still under Norrdex AB’s retention of title, the Client shall immediately notify Norrdex AB by telephone and in writing in the event of any damage to or caused by the Products. The Client shall also send Norrdex AB witness statements and/or other records relating to the event as soon as possible.

17.2 The Client must immediately have the police draw up a report of the event referred to in Article 17.1 and send it to Norrdex AB.

ARTICLE 18 – LIABILITY / INDEMNIFICATION

18.1 Except in cases governed by mandatory rules of law, such as those relating to product liability, Norrdex AB’s liability is expressly limited to the obligations under Article 12. Therefore, in connection with the rental or sale of Products, Norrdex AB shall not be liable for any (other) damage, including consequential damage or damage resulting from third-party claims against the Client.

18.2 Subject to the provisions of the first sentence of Article 18.1, Norrdex AB shall not be liable for any damage, of whatever nature, caused (directly or indirectly) by the Products, their use, or their unsuitability for the purpose for which the Client has used them.

18.3 Norrdex AB shall not be liable for any damages of any kind caused by acts or omissions by personnel employed by Norrdex AB or other persons whose services Norrdex AB uses, including recommendations or advice given by such persons on the application and use of the Products.

18.4 If Norrdex AB cannot be regarded as the producer in accordance with Article 6:187 et seq. of the Swedish Civil Code, the Client is obliged, in the event of a claim for bodily injury or damage to goods intended for private use, to exclusively turn to the producer of the Product concerned and not to Norrdex AB.

18.5 The Client is obliged to indemnify Norrdex AB and third parties engaged by it in the event of claims by third parties in connection with the existence and/or use of the Products for damage for which Norrdex AB is not liable under the Agreement and the General Terms and Conditions.

18.6 The Client shall never hold staff members of Norrdex AB and other persons engaged by Norrdex AB for the performance of the Agreement personally liable.

18.7 Norrdex AB shall not be liable for, nor give any warranty as to, the condition or suitability of the facilities available at the Location of Use.

18.8 In the event that, notwithstanding the above, Norrdex AB is still obliged to pay compensation on the basis of the principles of reasonableness and fairness, the Client explicitly acknowledges that Norrdex AB’s liability to the Client, whether contractual or otherwise, will in any case be limited to the risk and the amount that Norrdex AB can reasonably insure, also taking into account the Price of the Products delivered by Norrdex AB and what is customary in the sector, reasonably insurable, or, if lower, the Price, whereby Norrdex AB’s liability for personal injury and for material damage to the Products and property of the Client and of third parties will amount to no more than the total amount paid out by Norrdex AB’s insurer per series of events with the same cause.

18.9 The limitations on liability in this article do not apply in the event of intentional and/or deliberate recklessness on the part of Norrdex AB itself.

ARTICLE 19 – FORCE MAJEURE

19.1 In the event that Norrdex AB is prevented from (further) performing the Agreement due to force majeure of a permanent or temporary nature, irrespective of whether the force majeure could have been foreseen, Norrdex AB will be entitled, without any obligation to pay compensation, to dissolve the Agreement in full or in part by means of a notice to that effect and without judicial intervention, without prejudice to Norrdex AB’s right to payment from the Client for work performed by Norrdex AB before the force majeure occurred, or to suspend the (further) performance of the Agreement in whole or in part. Norrdex AB will notify the Client of a situation of force majeure as soon as possible. In the event of suspension, Norrdex AB will still be entitled to declare the Agreement fully or partially dissolved.

19.2 Force majeure includes all circumstances which render Norrdex AB temporarily or permanently unable to fulfil its obligations, such as fire, adverse weather conditions making it impossible to work as customary in the construction industry (e.g., frost), strikes or lockouts, riots, war, government measures (including government shutdowns or restrictions, import or export restrictions), failure of suppliers, transport problems, natural disasters, epidemics or other health crises, breakdowns in Norrdex AB’s business or that of suppliers, power failures, theft or misappropriation from Norrdex AB’s warehouses or workplaces, and furthermore all circumstances in which Norrdex AB cannot reasonably be expected to fulfil its obligations towards the Client (any further). Force majeure of Norrdex AB’s suppliers shall also be deemed to be force majeure of Norrdex AB.

ARTICLE 20 – PROTECTION OF PERSONAL DATA

20.1 In the context of the Agreement, Norrdex AB receives personal data (of, among others, officers, employees, or representatives) from the Client. The Client and Norrdex AB are both considered to be data controllers.

ARTICLE 21 – INSURANCE

21.1 Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the Client is obliged, during the rental period or (in the case of a sale) while the Products are still under Norrdex AB’s reservation of title, to ensure, at its expense, that Norrdex AB’s Products are properly insured against fire, loss, theft, and damage in the manner customary for the Products concerned. As soon as an event occurs for which the insurance has been taken out, the Client shall transfer their rights under the insurance to Norrdex AB at Norrdex AB’s first request.

Nor is Norrdex AB liable for the consequences of such a change in the law and/or regulations.

28.2 If, as a result of the length of the rental or building period, different legislation and/or regulations apply to the (rented) Products at any time than was the case at the start of the rental or building period, this will be exclusively at the Client’s risk. In such cases, Norrdex AB shall not be under any obligation to adjust the (rented) Products to the relevant legislation and/or regulations.

29 ARTICLE – APPLICABLE LAW / JURISDICTION
