Since this is an extraordinary situation, we commit ourselves, if after 180 (one hundred and eighty) days the equipment has not been properly delivered, we will contact the customer in order to together find a way to solve this. This does not invalidate the Ozone Solution effort to honor their commitments of their clients together, however, Solution Ozone is oblivious to the fulfillment of the deadlines established for the supply of raw materials, and therefore cannot be held responsible for them.
