Depending on the nature and extent of the adjustments, the Parties shall amend the Agreement and adjust the agreed fees accordingly.

4.1.2 Installation & Handover

Customer shall secure that a duly authorized representative of Customer is present at the time of the installation of the Subscription Furniture. NORNORM shall confirm the Handover Date to Customer.

Upon request of either of the Parties, on the Handover Date, the representative of Customer shall confirm the Handover Document provided by NORNORM, which shall reflect that:

Customer has examined the Subscription Furniture and has found it to be in good condition, complete and fit in every way for the purpose for which it is intended;
both Parties deem the implemented Design Solution as functional to use and agree to the commencement of the Subscription period.

4.1.3 Delays

NORNORM shall use all reasonable endeavors to deliver the Subscription Furniture by the date and time agreed between the Parties. However:

NORNORM will inform Customer in advance in case of any delay or unavailability of any item or items belonging to the agreed Subscription Furniture. Should parts of the Subscription Furniture be delayed, NORNORM will strive to deliver equivalent replacements to avoid an unnecessary delivery delay. Please note that any delays in the delivery of items will not impact the Subscription Commencement Date as long as the furniture solution provided allows Customer’s office to be a Functional Solution;
as NORNORM strives to plan deliveries in the most efficient and sustainable way, in case of delays of parts of the Subscription Furniture NORNORM will request that the delivery date for all Subscription Furniture be changed depending on supply availability;
changes to the design should not occur after acceptance by Customer until the first Switching Day. However, should due to an unforeseen reason (significant) changes be requested by Customer (and agreed to by NORNORM) to the approved Design Solution but prior to implementation of the Subscription Furniture, such changes may result in a longer delivery time for the Subscription Furniture and therefore a delayed installation of the Subscription Furniture. Please note that the Design Solution is based on a solution per square meter, and therefore any changes will not affect the Start-up Fee or Subscription Fee as described in Part 3;
should a delay occur, for whatever reason, in access to the Site for installation of the Subscription Furniture, NORNORM is to be informed by Customer as soon as possible via support@nornorm.com. Such delay in access to the Site will result in a delayed installation of the Subscription Furniture;
in case Customer requests, for whatever reason, a change / delay of an installation date that has been agreed by the Parties, or if NORNORM will not have access to the Site for installation of Subscription furniture on the installation date that has been Agreed by the Parties, NORNORM reserves the right to recover any incurred costs resulting from the requested change / delay from Customer.
