finally for the ordered performance according to the offer (independent of the scope of work
having been performed so far) and shall be discharged from rendering any further
performance.

contacts with agents during the execution of the order, without informing “RANDOS”, “RANDOS”
shall be entitled to withdraw immediately from the order and to settle accounts for the expenses

added tax plus the cash expenses arisen so far (e.g. commission payments to agents resulting
from the order).
