the properties of the article to be supplied are the result of his measurements and calculations and shall be the article\u2019s agreed nature, but not its warranted qualities or guarantees within the meaning of Article 197 of the Code of Obligations (OR).\n6.1.2 The purchaser can assert claims due to a material defect only if he has properly fulfilled his obligations to examine the supplied article and to give notice of defects in accordance with Article 201 of the Code of Obligations (OR) and Section 6.1.3 below.\n6.1.3 All parts that prove to be defective as a result of circumstances before the transfer risk shall, at the discretion of the Seller, be repaired or resupplied free of charge. Such defects shall be reported to the Seller clearly and in writing as soon as they are discovered. Replaced parts shall become the property of the Seller.\n6.1.4 The Seller\u2019s liability for material defects in essential third-party products, which are an integral part or accessories of the delivered goods, shall be limited to assignment of the claims for material defects of the Seller against his supplier. If the assigned claims for material defects are not settled, the claims of the purchaser against the Seller due to material defects shall be revived.\n6.1.5 Following agreement with the Seller, the purchaser shall give the Seller the required time and opportunity to make all the repairs and to supply such replacements as the Seller deems necessary; otherwise, the Seller shall be discharged from liability for the resultant consequences. The purchaser shall have the right to rectify the defect himself or have it rectified by a third party and demand compensation for his necessary expenses from the Seller only in urgent cases of risk to safety or to avert disproportionately great damage; the Seller shall be informed immediately thereof.\n6.1.6 Of the direct costs incurred as a result of repair or delivery of a replacement, the Seller shall \u2013 provided the complaint proves to be justified \u2013 bear the costs of the replacement item, including the cost of shipping it to the place of performance. The Seller shall also bear the reasonable costs of removing the defective part supplied and the costs of installing the replacement item, if installation of the part that later became defective was originally part of the contract. The acceptance of further costs incurred by the Seller in connection with rectification or replacement delivery shall be expressly excluded.\n6.1.7 Within the framework of the statutory provisions, the purchaser shall have the right to rescind the contract if the Seller fails to remedy a material defect by a reasonable period of time set for him to repair the article or supply a replacement where non-compliance within the additional period is due to circumstances which can be attributed to the Seller but not in cases of force majeure or similar instances. If the defect is only insignificant and the Seller has failed to remedy the defect by a reasonable period of time set for him to repair the article or supply a replacement, the purchaser shall merely have a right to a reduction in the contractual price.\n6.1.8 The Seller shall not be liable for defects that are attributable to measures or designs expressly demanded by the purchaser or that occur in materials or products which have been provided by the purchaser or whose use the purchaser has expressly demanded contrary to the Seller\u2019s advice. In particular, no liability shall be assumed in the following cases: Unsuitable or improper use or incorrect installation or commissioning by the purchaser or a third party, failure to use original parts and materials, normal wear and tear, incorrect or negligent handling, improper maintenance, unsuitable operating supplies, faulty construction work, unsuitable subsoil, failure to back up or inadequate backing up of data by the purchaser; failure to check or inadequate checking of programs and data for computer viruses (as defined in Section 9.3) by the purchaser, unusual effects of any kind (e.g. vibrations from other assemblies, ingress of foreign matter), chemical, electrochemical or electrical influences \u2013 unless the Seller is to blame for them, violation by the purchaser of the obligations described in section 6.2.4.\n6.1.9 If the purchaser or a third party carries out repairs improperly, the Seller shall not be liable for the resultant consequences. The same shall apply to changes to the supplied article that have been made without the prior consent of the Seller.\n6.1.10 The purchaser shall be obliged to return the defective part to the Seller at the request of the Seller.\n6.1.11 Subject to Section 8.2, the above warranty provisions shall apply accordingly to rectification of defects.", "samples": [{"hash": "dcXGxR563bQ", "uri":

to the customer that the deliveries and services, when used in accordance with the contract, conform with the agreements outlined in point 3.1.\n8.2 No claims of material defects may exist for merely insignificant deviations from the contractually agreed quality. Claims of material defects are also excluded if the deviation from the contractually agreed quality is based on excessive or improper use or natural wear. The same applies to such deviations that result from special external influences which are not provided for in the contracted. This also includes the use of deliveries and services in a usage environment not approved of by the vendor. Furthermore, claims are excluded with regard to the sale of second-hand articles.\n8.3 The customer is to communicate in writing any material defects in comprehensible and detailed format, providing the information necessary for determining and analysing the defect. If nothing other has been agreed to, the customer shall use the vendor\u2019s relevant forms and procedures to do this. Point 12.1, line 3 applies accordingly. Furthermore, the customer is also to support the vendor in eliminating the defects, where required.\n8.4 If the customer is entitled to claims for defects, it first only has the right to remedial action within an appropriate period of time. At the vendor\u2019s discretion, remedial action could entail the elimination of defects or a new delivery. The interests of the customer are to be considered properly in the vendor\u2019s choice. If remedial action is performed, ownership of the objects exchanged as part of the remedial action is transferred to the vendor at the time of the exchange. The processing of the customer\u2019s notification of material defects by the vendor shall only lead to a suspension to the period of limitation if statutory regulations for this exist. Remedial action can only influence the limitation period of the defect caused by the remedial action.\n8.5 If the remedial action is unsuccessful or is not performed for other reasons, the customer may, in accordance with statutory requirements, reduce the remuneration, withdraw from the contract and/or demand compensation for damages or expenses in line with points 10.1\u201310.3. The customer can exercise its right \u2013 to which it is entitled \u2013 to choose what to do within an appropriate time period. This is usually taken as 14 calendar days from the opportunity to announce the chosen option by the customer.\n8.6 If the customer withdraws, the vendor will take the goods back and reimburse monies paid by the customer minus the value of the usage possibilities granted to the customer.\n8.7 The period of limitation for claims of material defects is one year from the statutory commencement of that period. Statutory time periods remain unaffected, as far as the law in \u00a7 438, para. 1, no. 2 of the BGB [German Civil Code] (buildings and items used for buildings) prescribes longer periods, and in the event of deliberate or grossly negligent breach of duty on the part of the vendor, especially its legal representatives or agents, in the event of a fraudulent concealment of a defect, and in cases of loss of life, personal injuries and harm to health, as well as claims from product liability law.\n8.8 Provided nothing other has been agreed to, the customer is to bear any additional expenses necessary for the purpose of the remedial action, especially additional transport, travel, work and material costs, resulting from the fact that it has housed the owed good/ service in a different location to the location of usage mentioned to the vendor when the contract was concluded. The regulation of \u00a7 \u2587\u2587\u2587 \u2587\u2587\u2587 (\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 Civil Code) remains otherwise unaffected.\n8.9 The vendor may demand remuneration for its efforts, provided - It follows up on a notification without a defect existing, unless the customer was not able to recognise that there was no defect with reasonable effort, or - Additional efforts are required as a result of the customer failing to properly fulfil its obligations, especially in accordance with lines 8.2 and 8.3.\n8.10 The regulations for customer recourse in line with \u00a7 478 and 479 of the BGB (German Civil Code) remain unaffected.", "samples": [{"hash": "wdlRXMfpgt", "uri": "/contracts/wdlRXMfpgt#material-defects", "label": "Purchase Agreement", "score": 22.6427097321, "published": true}, {"hash": "c5FJmbFtKOl", "uri": "/contracts/c5FJmbFtKOl#material-defects", "label": "Purchase Agreement", "score": 22.6427097321, "published": true}, {"hash": "aqpwqW3gIiY", "uri": "/contracts/aqpwqW3gIiY#material-defects", "label": "Purchase Agreement", "score": 22.6427097321, "published": true}], "hash": "684cfa4a447fcd2e1d73024d92e95772", "id": 1}, {"size": 4, "snippet_links": [{"key": "the-parties-agree-that", "type": "clause", "offset": [5, 27]}, {"key": "software-generally", "type": "clause", "offset": [28, 46]}, {"key": "applies-to", "type": "clause", "offset": [91, 101]}, {"key": "covered-by", "type": "definition", "offset": [115, 125]}, {"key": "these-terms-and-conditions", "type": "clause", "offset": [126, 152]}, {"key": "material-defect", "type": "definition", "offset": [159, 174]}, {"key": "related-to", "type": "definition", "offset": [182, 192]}, {"key": "in-accordance-with", "type": "clause", "offset": [266, 284]}, {"key": "clause-17", "type": "definition", "offset": [285, 294]}, {"key": "in-cases-of", "type": "clause", "offset": [342, 353]}, {"key": "liability-for-damage", "type": "clause", "offset": [356, 376]}, {"key": "grossly-negligent", "type": "definition", "offset": [490, 507]}, {"key": "breach-of-duty", "type": "clause", "offset": [508, 522]}, {"key": "the-specification", "type": "clause", "offset": [644, 661]}, {"key": "operating-instructions", "type": "definition", "offset": [686, 708]}, {"key": "time-of-the", "type": "clause", "offset": [827, 838]}, {"key": "for-the-buyer", "type": "clause", "offset": [880, 893]}, {"key": "use-of-the-software", "type": "clause", "offset": [995, 1014]}, {"key": "external-factors", "type": "definition", "offset": [1050, 1066]}, {"key": "the-contract", "type": "clause", "offset": [1113, 1125]}, {"key": "third-parties", "type": "definition", "offset": [1162, 1175]}, {"key": "the-consequences", "type": "clause", "offset": [1180, 1196]}, {"key": "for-software", "type": "clause", "offset": [1200, 1212]}, {"key": "a-third-party", "type": "clause", "offset": [1232, 1245]}, {"key": "not-compatible", "type": "definition", "offset": [1339, 1353]}, {"key": "processing-environment", "type": "definition", "offset": [1368, 1390]}, {"key": "the-claim", "type": "definition", "offset": [1409, 1418]}, {"key": "supplementary-performance", "type": "clause", "offset": [1423, 1448]}, {"key": "in-the-case", "type": "clause", "offset": [1473, 1484]}, {"key": "we-provide", "type": "clause", "offset": [1498, 1508]}, {"key": "new-version", "type": "definition", "offset": [1546, 1557]}, {"key": "reasonable-cost", "type": "definition", "offset": [1640, 1655]}], "snippet": "19.1 The parties agree that software generally cannot be created without errors; this also applies to the software covered by these terms and conditions.\n19.2 Material defect claims related to the software become time-barred within 12 months of the transfer of risk in accordance with Clause 17.

Upon any such substitution and the payment to the Trustee as assignee of the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price or of any required Substitution Adjustment Amount, the Purchaser shall cause the Custodian to release the Mortgage File relating to such Deleted Mortgage Loan to the Seller and the Purchaser and its assignees, as applicable, shall execute and deliver at the Seller's direction such instruments of transfer or assignment prepared by the Seller, in each case without recourse, as shall be necessary to transfer to the Seller, or its designee, any Defective Mortgage Loan substituted for or repurchased pursuant to this Section 5. (v) For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more Substitute Mortgage Loans for one or more Deleted Mortgage Loans, the amount (if any) by which the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all such Substitute Mortgage Loans as of the date of substitution is less than the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all such Deleted Mortgage Loans after application of the principal portion of the scheduled payments due in the month of substitution (the \"Substitution Adjustment Amount\") shall be paid to the Trustee as assignee of the Purchaser by the Seller on or before the Remittance Date in the month succeeding the calendar month during which the related Mortgage Loan is required to be purchased or replaced hereunder.", "samples": [{"hash": "kCeVUvZircp", "uri": "/contracts/kCeVUvZircp#material-defects", "label": "Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (Wachovia Mortgage Loan Trust, Series 2007-A)", "score": 19.0, "published": true}, {"hash": "cPsnTrL3hwW", "uri": "/contracts/cPsnTrL3hwW#material-defects", "label": "Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (Wachovia Mortgage Loan Trust, Series 2006-Alt1)", "score": 19.0, "published": true}, {"hash": "2wPuj8BG7mQ", "uri": "/contracts/2wPuj8BG7mQ#material-defects", "label": "Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (Wachovia Mortgage Loan Trust, Series 2007-A)", "score": 19.0, "published": true}], "hash": "acecfb4043abf06794c023708f92549b", "id": 3}, {"size": 4, "snippet_links": [{"key": "nature-of-the", "type": "clause", "offset": [49, 62]}, {"key": "intended-use", "type": "definition", "offset": [93, 105]}, {"key": "the-deliverables", "type": "clause", "offset": [109, 125]}, {"key": "the-co", "type": "clause", "offset": [170, 176]}, {"key": "set-out", "type": "definition", "offset": [217, 224]}, {"key": "clause-10", "type": "definition", "offset": [228, 237]}], "snippet": "If the Defects are substantial in number, or the nature of the Defect(s) deprive DALO of the intended use of the Deliverables, this shall constitute a material breach of the Co n- tract, entitling DALO to remedies as set out in clause 10.", "samples": [{"hash": "5wh6eau7ZiY", "uri": "/contracts/5wh6eau7ZiY#material-defects", "label": "Acquisition Contract", "score": 24.6153316498, "published": true}, {"hash": "4Oh4VmWSOg0", "uri": "/contracts/4Oh4VmWSOg0#material-defects", "label": "Acquisition Contract", "score": 24.433265686, "published": true}], "hash": "c8f53aa0973dcb260a0ca013016ae148", "id": 6}], "next_curs": "ClkSU2oVc35sYXdpbnNpZGVyY29udHJhY3RzcjULEhZDbGF1c2VTbmlwcGV0R3JvdXBfdjU2IhltYXRlcmlhbC1kZWZlY3RzIzAwMDAwMDBhDKIBAmVuGAAgAA==", "clause": {"size": 115, "title": "Material Defects", "parents": [["warranty-exclusions", "Warranty Exclusions"], ["sellers-representations-and-warranties", "Sellers Representations and Warranties"], ["statements", "Statements"], ["defects", "DEFECTS"], ["performance-standards-monitoring-and-measurement", "Performance Standards Monitoring and Measurement"]], "children": [["\u0441\u0443\u0449\u0435\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044b\u0435-\u0434\u0435\u0444\u0435\u043a\u0442\u044b", "\u0421\u0443\u0449\u0435\u0441\u0442\u0432\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044b\u0435 \u0434\u0435\u0444\u0435\u043a\u0442\u044b"], ["access-to-assets-and-information", "Access to Assets and Information"], ["notice-of-material-defects", "Notice of Material Defects"], ["dalos-delay", "DALO's Delay"], ["the-suppliers-delay", "The Supplier's Delay"]], "id": "material-defects", "related": [["environmental-defects", "Environmental Defects", "Environmental Defects"], ["title-defects", "Title Defects", "Title Defects"], ["title-defect", "Title Defect", "Title Defect"], ["defects", "Defects", "Defects"], ["latent-defects", "Latent Defects", "Latent Defects"]], "related_snippets": [], "updated": "2025-07-24T04:27:57+00:00", "also_ask": ["What objective criteria should define a 'material defect' to avoid ambiguity?", "How can parties allocate risk for undiscovered material defects during negotiation?", "What are the most common legal pitfalls or fatal flaws in material defect clauses?", "How do courts typically interpret and enforce material defect provisions in similar contracts?", "What drafting elements are essential to ensure enforceability and limit post-closing disputes?"], "drafting_tip": "Define 'material defect' precisely to avoid ambiguity; specify remedies for material defects to ensure enforceability; allocate inspection responsibilities to clarify obligations.", "explanation": "The Material Defects clause defines what constitutes a significant flaw or deficiency in goods, services, or property that substantially impairs their value or usability.
