In relation to the Beneficiary, the Partner is obliged to respond to the Beneficiary’s communications – namely to requests sent via the so-called priority e-mail as stipulated under Clause 3 of this Article – in an appropriate manner and within agreed time periods (response time).

At the same time, the Partner shall expressly inform the Beneficiary about the fact/limitation, which appears to have caused the difficulty, and to agree upon the method of handling the resulting situation. If the Beneficiary does not receive such information concerning the potential limitation that prevents the Partner from fulfilling the task within 2 calendar weeks following the date when the assigned task is published in the overview, the assigned task shall be deemed accepted by the Partner without reservations.

3.	The Beneficiary and the Partner have agreed on the following contact e-mail addresses. The included e-mail addresses have been agreed as the priority e-mail addresses, and they do not prevent the Partner from fulfilling the assumed obligations using another e-mail address.
