10.1 The buyer must use the good in accordance with its nature and designated use and with due observance of any and all statutory instructions for use and, where applicable, instructions for use prescribed by the Stiba member.
10.2 If the buyer does not use the delivered good in accordance with the provisions set forth in paragraph 1 of this article and the buyer holds the Stiba member liable for damages incurred in connection with the use of the delivered good then the buyer must evidence that the damages are the result of a defect of the good delivered by the Stiba member and not of the use other than in accordance with paragraph 1 of this article.
10.3 Without prejudice to the provisions set forth in article 11 and paragraph 2 of this article, the Stiba member shall never be liable for bodily harm if the buyer acted in violation of the provisions set forth in paragraph 1 of this article.

11.2 Damages, to the extent that they consist of lost profit or reduced proceeds and any and all other indirect damages or consequential damages, e.g. trading losses or any compensation or penalty payable to third parties by the buyer, shall by no means qualify for compensation, barring mandatory statutory provisions to the contrary.
11.3 Barring to the extent that liability pursuant to Part 3 of Title 3 of Book 6 of the Dutch Civil Code is vested in the Stiba member and to the extent that the law permits this, the buyer indemnifies the Stiba member against claims on any account whatsoever of third parties who allege to have incurred damages as a result of the sold good or any act or omission of the Stiba member in the context of the implementation of the agreement, unless the buyer demonstrates that the Stiba member is liable in the relationship with the buyer and must compensate the buyer for the said damages.

11.5 Article 9 of the Warranty Conditions is equally applicable.
- Rescission
12.1 Full or partial rescission of the agreement takes place following a written notice by one of the relevant authorised parties. Before the buyer shall address a written rescission notice to the Stiba member, the buyer shall always first need to give the Stiba member written notice of default and grant it a reasonable period to yet comply properly with its obligations.
12.2 The buyer is not entitled to rescind the agreement, either in whole or in part, or to suspend its obligations if the buyer had already been in default in terms of compliance with its obligations. This provision does not affect the potential authority of consumer buyers to suspend in pursuance of a statutory provision.
12.3 If the Stiba member agrees with rescission, without there being question of default on the part of the same, then the Stiba member shall be entitled to compensation for any and all financial losses, e.g. costs, lost profit, and reasonable costs for the determination of the damages and liability.
12.4 In case of partial rescission the buyer can, to the extent that the law permits this, not claim that performances already delivered by the Stiba member are undone and the Stiba member shall remain entitled in full to payment for the performances already delivered by the same, without prejudice to the right of the Stiba member to undo its performances and to claim compensation. - Disputes

13.3 The complaints procedure does not affect the possibility of the buyer to apply to the competent court. - Perpetual clause
In the context of the agreement for the purchase and/or the delivery of used vehicle parts the buyer commits and warrants that the buyer (i) complies with any and all applicable international legislation and regulations with regard to corruption and abuse of power, e.g. anti-money laundering, anti-terrorist financing, and sanction legislation, and more in particular any and all export control and sanctions regulations of the EU and the UN, and to continue complying with the same during the term of the agreement, and that (ii) the used vehicle parts are not directly or indirectly meant or may potentially be meant for a country to which a sanction applies in respect of the relevant goods pursuant to EU or UN regulations, unless the buyer obtained authorisation or a permit from a competent authority designated for that purpose by the EU or the UN. The buyer commits to impose an identical written obligation on the buyer (and its legal successors) with which it concludes an agreement in the context of the purchase and/or the delivery of used vehicle parts (perpetual clause)
