Investment supplies
§ 8
(1) In the case of supplies or their completed parts for which the organisation has agreed to a separate surrender and take-over of + + in the contract (hereinafter referred to as the "operating file or object"), and in the case of machines and equipment supplied individually, the right to invoice on the date of completion arises. In the case of supplies of unassembled products for an operating file or object [Paragraph 1 (1) (c)], the right to invoice the date of completion of the last part of the supply shall arise; if the economic contract is concluded to a greater extent than the products relating to one operating file or object and if this is agreed in the contract, it may be invoiced already after delivery of all products intended for one operating file or object has been completed.
(2) If the supplier of an object, operating file or non-assembled products and equipment supplied in files, complexes etc., cannot continue to carry out work and supplies on this object, operating file, ensemble etc. [Paragraph 1 (1) (c)] so that he has not been entitled to payment for at least 3 months, he shall be entitled to invoice the work and supplies so far.
§ 9
Advances
Providing backup is not allowed.
§ 10
Repayments
(1) In this decree, payment is understood as the amount provided by the customer to the supplier before the completion (surrender and takeover) of the building or the operating file for the preliminary reimbursement of the costs associated with the execution of the work or, where applicable, of the supplies carried out in the previous month. This applies mutatis mutandis to the supply of unassembled machinery and equipment supplied in sets, ensembles, sets, etc. [Paragraph 1 (1) (c)]. The amount of the instalment must correspond to the volumes of work actually carried out or supplies collected under Paragraph 10a, with compliance with the restriction under Section 10b, and must comply with the price rules applicable to invoicing. The instalments provided are not a payment for the performance of works and supplies; when invoicing upon completion (surrender and takeover), the supplier is obliged to settle the payments provided (deduct from the invoiced amount).
(2) The right of payment arises from the date on which the customer signed the certificate (the survey protocol). In this case, if the customer has not made the findings, although the supplier has provided him with proper documentation in due time, the right to repayment shall arise on the fifth working day following the end of the month. However, any customer's rights in invoicing are not affected.
(3) Two instalments are allowed for deliveries of individual large machinery and equipment which must be transported to the place of destination in long-spaced parts. The right to such instalments shall be established at the dates agreed between the customer and the supplier. Repayments may only be made to the parts sent.
(4) Organisations may agree on longer repayment periods of more than 1 month, or on material stages lasting more than one month, which shall be relevant for the creation of the right to repayment; in such cases, the right of payment shall be incurred on the day following the end of the agreed period or after the relevant stage has been reached. In such cases, however, organisations are obliged to carry out monthly surveys of the volumes made (§ 10a) and are subject to restrictions and payment obligations (§ 10b).
(5) If the customer fails to make a payment in due time, the supplier shall be obliged to pay the late payment fee at the same rate as the late payment fee for the invoice.
§ 10a
Detection of volumes made
(1) The collector is required to identify, in cooperation with the supplier, the volumes of work or supplies carried out on the premises or the operating file during the previous month for which the instalment is to be made, according to the supporting documents to be provided by the supplier. Any objections shall be discussed with the customer before the payment note is issued. The volume of works and supplies shall be collected on the last day of the month. This finding is without prejudice to the right of customers to monitor at any time the execution of works, in particular if they are covered in the next working process.
(2) The survey must be completed no later than the fifth working day following the end of the month if the organisation does not evaluate the shorter deadline.
(3) The organisation shall agree on the method of detection and the form of confirmation (survey protocol). The collector shall certify separately in writing for each object or operating file that the volume of works and supplies as indicated in the supporting documents for a given month corresponds to the volume actually established by the customer. However, this confirmation is without prejudice to the rights of the customer or supplier when invoicing the object or operating file.
§ 10b
Reimbursement restrictions and obligations
(1) If the material or other products are budgeted separately in the specification, they may be included in the instalment note only after their installation (assembly).
(2) Only completed units of measurement may be included in the instalment in the composition of the budget items for the projects of objects and operating files to the extent corresponding to the description of the individual budget items and the relevant budgetary and calculation documents.
§ 11
Construction site equipment
(1) Where the cost of construction site facilities is budgeted by global or, where applicable, invoicing rates, a premium of a fixed percentage of the amount of each instalment note shall be included in the delivery and work payment notes. If payment forms are not issued, no payment may be required for construction site equipment.
(2) If the costs of temporary buildings of the construction site are otherwise budgeted than by global or, where appropriate, invoicing rates, payment forms shall be drawn up gradually to pay the volume of works on the construction site facilities actually carried out. The volume of work performed by the customer shall be ascertained and confirmed in a similar manner to that of permanent buildings. The amount of its full budget costs shall be used up with payment certificates for the acquisition of the temporary establishment. However, where the budgetary costs of the material to be dismantled exceed the budgetary costs of the dismantling, the payments for the work associated with the acquisition of the temporary building site installation may be drawn in total only to an amount less the difference between the budgetary costs of the material to be dismantled and the budgetary costs of dismantling. The price for documentation of construction site equipment includes the supplier with a single amount in the first payment note for work carried out on construction site equipment. If the documentation of the construction site installation is prepared in parts, the supplier may also include its value in the payment notes by parts, but always to the extent of the least completed documentation for one building of the construction site.
(3) The right to invoice the cost of construction site equipment arises from the supplier who provides construction site equipment *)
(a) when applying global or, where applicable, invoicing rates at the same time as the right to invoice a completed permanent object or operating set of buildings;
(b) on the date of completion of the construction, where the temporary buildings of the construction site are financed at rates other than global or invoicing rates. The invoice shall include the full cost of the installation and the cost of dismantling. The budgetary costs of the material to be dismantled shall be deducted from the same invoice.
(4) The organisation may, in the cases referred to in paragraph 3 (a), point (b) and (c): (b) agree that the right to invoice shall be established earlier, but not earlier than the date on which the building concerned has ceased to be used and has been disposed of during construction. The date of disposal of the building must be recorded in the building log.
(5) The stops provided for in Sections 13 and 14 do not apply when invoicing the cost of construction site equipment.
§ 12
An organisation that causes the supplier to be unable to invoice or not to receive a instalment shall be obliged to reimburse the supplier for the amount of interest that he has lost or had to pay.
§ 13
Measures to remedy defects and minor underwork
(1) The collector is entitled to temporarily detain up to 10% of the budget price of the object or the operating file to ensure the prompt removal of any defects and minor undercuts, or to comply with the design parameters for the operating files. Before 90% of the budget price of an object or operating file is exhausted, the customer shall be obliged to notify the supplier of the amount which he intends to suspend 15 days before the next instalment note is issued. The supplier shall be entitled to continue to issue payment certificates only up to an amount which the customer has not stopped according to his communication. If the customer does not communicate within the time limit which he intends to suspend, the supplier shall be entitled to issue payment forms and the customer shall be obliged to pay those payment forms until the customer has informed the supplier of the amount of the stop-off. The amount paid over the late-announced stop is no longer returned by the supplier.
(2) The suspended amount shall be paid by the buyer in turn or at the same time but at the latest shall be payable by:
(a) in the case of objects, within 10 days of the date on which the defects and minor errors which have been mentioned in the record of surrender and takeover are removed;
(b) in the case of an operating file, within 10 days of the date on which the defects and minor uncompletion indicated in the record of transmission and take-over are removed, or within 10 days of the date on which the operational file's ability to secure the proposed parameters is demonstrated in accordance with the starting curve. If defects and minor underwork have been identified and the operational file's ability to secure the projected parameters is to be demonstrated in an agreed manner, the customer will pay the suspended amount only after the defects and minor underwork have been remedied and after the proven achievement of the projected parameters. However, the collector shall be obliged to pay the suspended amount - unless this amount is also suspended because of defects and minor undercuts - in the event that the agreed licence could not be successfully carried out for the obstacle on his part.
(3) For complex housing buildings, the customer may not pay the rest of the price of the building after 90% of the budget price has been exhausted before all defects and minor underwork detected on delivery and delivery are removed. The remaining 10% of the budget price of the complex building will be paid by the customer within 10 days of the removal of these defects and minor undercuts.
(4) Organisations are required to carry out a monthly survey of the volumes carried out (§ 10a) even if the customer retains part of the budget price of the object or operating file.
§ 14
Measures to complete construction
(1) The collector is entitled to temporarily no longer pay the amounts which he has suspended pursuant to Paragraph 13 if the supplier is late in fulfilling the deadlines on the main buildings or operating sets of construction and for complex residential construction with the performance on the buildings which are part of the technical and civil equipment of the construction.
(2) The suspended amounts shall be paid by the customer - if his rights are satisfied under Paragraph 13 - within 10 days of the date on which the supplier fulfils the agreed replacement period; However, if this replacement deadline does not ensure that the delivery will be delivered within the agreed (original) time limit, the buyer shall be obliged to pay the suspended amounts no later than after the delivery has been surrendered and taken over.
(3) The project documentation is the basis for the determination of the main building and the main operating set of the construction and the crucial dates for its implementation, as well as for the identification of the technical and civil facilities of complex residential construction. *)
(4) Paragraph 13 (4) applies mutatis mutandis.
§ 15
If the operating file or object has defects and minor undercuts and if their proper operation (use) is at risk at the same time from the completion of other downstream operating files and objects (§ 14), the customer may, for both reasons, withhold a maximum of 10% of the total amount of the invoice not reduced by instalments.
§ 15a
Measures to comply with the date of entry into service
(1) Where the supplier is in delay, with the work and supply process on the premises or the operating file, for circumstances which are solely on his side, the customer may suspend the instalments and not pay the payment notes relating to that object or operating file, starting from the first month of the following calendar quarter. In this case, the organisations are obliged to continue to carry out a monthly survey of the volumes carried out (§ 10a) and the supplier continues to issue payment certificates.
(2) The suspended amounts shall be paid by the buyer within 10 days of the date on which the delay is removed from the building (assembly) log according to the approved registration or the dates of performance of the works and supplies are changed in the economic contract.
§ 15b
(1) In the postponement of the deadline for the transfer of capacity to the test operation or completion of the buildings set by the Government of the CSSR as binding tasks of the State Plan or centrally assessed buildings for which the CSSR Government has set the deadline for the transfer of capacity to the test operation or the completion of the construction as a binding task of the State Plan, the investor is obliged to stop the instalments and not to pay the instalment sheets for the period from the planned deadline for the transfer of capacity to the test operation or completion of the construction,
(a) until the date of the decision of the Government of the CSSR on the new term;
(b) until the actual transfer of capacity to the test operation or completion of the construction, if it is a replacement deadline 1)
(2) Organisations are required to continue to carry out a monthly survey of the volumes carried out (§ 10a) and the supplier shall issue payment certificates even as the instalments are stopped and the payment notes are not paid in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 1.
(3) If an investor pays a instalment contrary to the provisions of paragraph 1, he shall be obliged to pay periodic penalty payments or, where appropriate, a fine in accordance with the special regulation.2)
