In the event of liquidation, insolvency or moratorium of the buyer, the buyer’s obligations are immediately due and payable.

The provisions of the previous sentence also apply if the infringement was known to the buyer or could have been known by carrying out an investigation.
The said warranty does not apply if the defect has arisen as a result of injudicious or improper use or if – without permission – the buyer or third parties have made changes or tried to make or used the purchased item for purposes for which it was not intended.
If the warranty provided by the seller relates to an item produced by a third party, the warranty is limited to the warranty provided by that producer.
