Common use of Reworking Clause in Contracts

Reworking. 1. Defects of the delivery and/or service claimed during the warranty period, including failure to achieve guaranteed data and the lack of assured properties, are to be eliminated by the Supplier within a reasonable period and also free of charge with regard to all neces- sary additional costs, on discretion of the Customer by reworking or replacement of the defective parts or new delivery/new produc- tion, regardless of whether a purchase or works contract exists. 2. In particular, the Supplier bears all the expenses necessary in relation to the detection of defects and elimination of defects, also in- sofar as they are incurred by the Customer, in particular necessary examination costs, disassembly and reassembly costs, labour and material costs as well as the necessary transport and other necessary costs when replacing defective parts. This also applies insofar as the necessary expenses are increased due to the fact that the delivery item is transported to a place other than the place of per- formance but not if this results in disproportionate costs.
