Article 7: Representations and warranties

7.1 The Pledgee and the Pledgor each confirm the following at signing, and shall tell the other at once if any of it changes:

• no claim, seizure, disposal ban, bankruptcy or legal bar prevents performance of this Contract.

• the source of funds and purpose of contracting are lawful, and this Contract is no cover for any prohibited dealing.

• it holds the licences, approvals and legal capacity needed to sign and perform this Contract, and will keep them valid throughout.

7.2 An untrue material statement is a breach of this Contract, subject to its terms and the Civil Transactions Law; deliberately misleading information is deceit that allows annulment and compensation to be sought.

Article 8: Breach and its effects

8.1 A breach notice is in writing, states the obligation breached, what is needed to cure it and a reasonable time of at least 15 days, unless this Contract sets another period. No notice is needed if cure is impossible or the party at fault has said it will not perform.

8.2 Each party may withhold its corresponding obligation that has fallen due if the other has not performed its own, unless that would run against good faith or the failure is minor, under the Civil Transactions Law.

8.3 The injured party shall make reasonable efforts to limit its loss and is not compensated for what it could have avoided. Compensation follows proved loss. Nothing is charged as compensation or increase merely for lateness in paying a sum of money, and the actual costs awarded by the competent authority may be claimed.

10.2 This Contract creates no right for anyone other than the parties unless stated. A party's dealing with what is its own does not affect the other's rights here, and nothing can be raised against a third party in good faith who did not know of it until it is documented or registered where that is required.

Article 11: Confidentiality

11.1 Each party shall keep the other's non-public information confidential, use it only to perform this Contract, and disclose it only to staff and advisers who need it and are bound by confidentiality.

11.2 This excludes information that is public through no fault of the recipient, or that a competent authority lawfully requires, provided the other party is told where possible. The duty lasts 3 years after the Contract ends, and information is returned or destroyed on request.

Article 12: Force majeure and exceptional circumstances

12.1 A party is not liable for delay or failure caused by an event beyond its control that was unforeseeable and unavoidable, provided it notifies the other within 7 days and makes reasonable efforts to limit the effect. Force majeure does not excuse paying what fell due before it occurred.

12.2 Affected obligations are suspended for the duration. If the event lasts more than 60 days, either party may terminate by written notice, with payment for work actually performed.

12.3 If unforeseeable general exceptional circumstances make performance so onerous as to threaten a heavy loss, the affected party may request renegotiation without delay while continuing to perform, as provided by the Civil Transactions Law.
