po pričakovanjih nanašal na obdobje dobave blaga ali
zagotavljanja rezultatov storitev, bosta pogodbenici
druga drugo brez nepotrebnega odlašanja obvestili.
Pogodbenici se bosta medsebojno dogovorili, ali jemogoče predmete dobave zagotoviti po koncu višje
sile in ali je družba Sartorius za to zainteresirana. V
primeru, da je zamudo pri izpolnitvi mogoče

pogodbenica pravico, da odstopi od pogodbe, na
katero vpliva višja sila, če višja sila traja vsaj štiri (4)tedne v obdobju treh (3) mesecev. Obveznost za

dogovorjene datume ali le po višji ceni od pogodbeno

izpustitev v splošnih pogojih nakupa se zapolni z
ustrezno določbo, ki se, kolikor je to zakonsko mogoče,najbolj približa prvotnemu namenu pogodbenic alitistemu, kar bi glede na pomen in namen teh splošnih
