8.4   The Employer may offset the amount of the penalty against any amount payable by the Employer to the Contractor or its successor or assignee.
 
8.5   The mere fact that the Employer does not expressly insist on the payment of any accrued penalties prior to, upon or immediately after the performance by Contractor of the delayed Works shall not constitute a waiver of the Employer’s right to request the payment of all accrued penalties and the Employer shall continue to be entitled to request all accrued penalties also after Practical Completion of the relevant phase has been achieved by the Contractor.

    if the repeated inspection of the Works as per clause 13.4 shows that not all defects or outstanding items as notified have been rectified on such date, on the date on which the rectification of the remaining defects or the outstanding items have been completed and inspected.
13.10   Any defects other than Minor Defects or outstanding items of work or supply which are not of trivial nature only that are subsisting after the Practical Completion Date as per the Time Schedule shall prevent Practical Completion and result in penalties as per clause 8 above.

14.3   It is the Contractors responsibility to provide, at his own costs, the necessary equipment to simulate full load. The specific dates for taking measurements shall be set at least five days in advance. The measurements shall be made in the presence of both Parties.
 
14.4   The guaranteed PUE Factor is considered met if for each Phase the average of both measurings results does not exceed the factor {*}.

15.   Defect Liability Period
 
15.1   The Contractor guarantees that all Works, for the duration of the Defect Liability Period, are free from defects, have the contractually agreed upon or warranted characteristics and permit a purposeful, trouble-free operation of the Data Centre. This guarantee is notwithstanding any other rights the Employer may have under the applicable law and/or the Agreement.
 
15.2   The Defect Liability Period starts, separately for each of the two Phases, on the date of issuance of the Practical Completion Certificate for the relevant Phase and ends {*} months thereafter unless extended pursuant to clause 7.1 or clause 7.2.
 
15.3   The relevant Defect Liability Period shall be extended by a period equal to the period between notification of a defect by Employer and the completion of the rectification of such defects by the Contractor.
 
15.4   In order to synchronize the Defect Liability Periods for the two Phases, the Employer may opt, at any time during the Defect Liability Period for Phase 1, to acquire an extension of this Defect Liability Period for the remainder period of the Defect Liability Period of Phase 2. This means that in case the Employer exercises his option, the Defect Liability Period for both Phases shall be the same. Clause 14.3 is applicable to such uniform period. If Employer elects to exercise this option, he shall issue a Purchase Order. The price for such extension will be negotiated by the Parties.
 
15.5   The Employer may notify a defect at any time within the relevant Defect Liability Period. The fact that a defect could have been detected or has been detected at the occasion of a inspection contemplated in clause 12 above, does not prevent the Employer from notifying such defect and requesting its rectification (or invoking any other warranty right it may have under this Agreement or under the applicable law) at any time during the Defect Liability Period.
