7. Liability for defects.

7.1. I-Wood shall be entitled, but not obliged to be present at the hand-over inspection for defects and in connection with the 1-year and 5-year inspections for defects.

1. I-Wood shall remedy defects at no cost to the buyer
2. If the defects cannot be made remedied I-Wood shall supply replacement goods.

If it is found proven that a claim against the original buyer concerning defects cannot be satisfied or only satisfied with great difficulty subsequent buyers of the goods including contractors and building owners shall be entitled to make direct claims against I-Wood to the same extent as they would against the original buyer if the latter had a claim against I-Wood. Disputes concerning the above claims shall be heard by the Danish Building and Construction Arbitration Board, cf. point 10.

 

8. Liability for delay.

8.1. I-Wood shall be liable for delay, unless such delay is caused by interference in the work process by circumstances mentioned in point 7.3.

8.3. If the date is exceeded substantially and the delay causes considerable inconvenience to the buyer, the buyer shall be entitled to request delivery from I-Wood in writing and at the same time stipulate a final delivery date.
