Liquidated fines shall not apply should less than five (5) per cent of the items in an entire shipment be delayed.
- If the delay in delivery is such that the Buyer is entitled to maximum fines and if the Products still not delivered, the Buyer may in writing demand delivery within a final reasonable period, which shall not be less than two (2) weeks.
