kakršnega koli razloga z izjemo dejavnikov, ki jihdružba Sartorius ne more razumno nadzorovati ali ki sonastali po krivdi kupca, bo družba Sartorius kupcu

upravitelj družbe Sartorius in depozitar, ki mora blago
hraniti ločeno od svojega lastnega blaga in blaga
tretjih oseb, ter ga mora pravilno shranjevati, varovati,
zavarovati in označiti kot lastnino družbe Sartorius inz razumno skrbnostjo skrbeti za blago in ga hraniti v
stanju, v katerem je bilo dobavljeno, tor nemudoma

e) Kupec ni upravičen zastaviti ali na kakršen koli način
ponuditi kot zavarovanje kakršnega koli dolga blago,ki ostaja v lasti družbe Sartorius, če pa to stori, vsa
sredstva, ki jih kupec dolguje družbi Sartorius (neglede na druge pravice ali pravna sredstva družbe
