• Article 9.4: what is the reason of rejecting this Article?
LDD is difficult to apply to services, sometimes delay is a shared responsibility (for example, problem to find a common date for services, different appreciation of service completion, absence of responsible person to sign the document…).
Note that Article 10.2 of BOA stated that LDD was not applicable to services.
If ROCAF really insists on adding LDD for services (unlike its other contracts), we can agree, but we should at least keep 9.4 (similar to clause of BOA 10.4, and is a standard clause to LDD), and also add something like this to Article 4.5 (as we did for other contracts):
“PURCHASER shall not unduly deny or delay Certificate of Completion signature”
• Appendix B/2.2:
INS are already accepted and not under warranty anymore, why to ask the 2 added sentences?
The proposed service is only investigation of potential problems (if necessary, together with Dassault), and proposing a solution for modification/improvement is necessary, but then the modification is not included, it is subject to a commercial proposal as described in the same Article. So we cannot accept the first modification.
For the second modification, the limit of our analysis of Technical Event is already described above in the same Article, we cannot accept to add another formulation which could be interpreted differently.
