3

It is the period during which the exporter is liable for and must make good defects that are apparent on delivery or come to light later. 29. Why is the question of warranty disposive? Because the exporter can exclude all warranties. 30. What is fair wear and tear and misuse by the buyer? Fair wear and tear is damage that naturally and inevitably occurs as a result of normal use. Misuse by the buyer is the seriously incorrect handling of the buyer. III. Translation Cc bi tp ngy 24/0
