Liability for Errors and Defects After Acceptance (Goods Procurements)

Liability for errors and defects after acceptance rests with the contractor. Where fraudulent materials have been used in the goods or work delivered, the goods have not been manufactured in accordance with the technical requirements, or there are latent defects, the contracting authority requires the contractor to replace the goods with others conforming to the technical specifications, or to bring the work into conformity with them. Acceptance of the goods or work by the authority, or its inspection at the production or pre-delivery stage, does not relieve the contractor of its obligations.
