Proposed-Accepted

When the Supply is manufactured with one or more components bought by Seller from subcontractors, Seller is responsible for negotiating, with said subcontractors, the warranty terms that apply to such purchased components; GTC and/or Purchase Contract provisions on subcontracting, designates Seller as solely responsible to Buyer for the correct execution of its contractual obligations, including for warranty issues.

In case of a Proposed-accepted component and/or supplier, a three-party task-sharing table will case by case, define the obligations of the Parties, and the corresponding warranty implementation terms. This document must be appended to the Contract.

The Investigation Procedure shall take this table into account.

In the absence of such a task-sharing table, the Parties shall agree the warranty implementation terms, on a case by case basis.
