III. Supply

1. Events resulting from force majeur, strikes, lockouts, interruptions of operations, civil unrest, war and other circumstances which are not our responsibility, entitle us to completely or partially postpone execution of the orders or to completely or partially withdraw from the contract, without entitling the purchaser to any claim for damages.
2. Partial deliveries are permitted.

The goods remain the property of the seller until full and final settlement. Until that time, the purchaser holds the goods as the borrower.
