This Service Life Policy is not an undertaking to modify any Aircraft or any Item to conform to new developments in airframe design and manufacturing.

 

1.3

Supplier Warranties and Service Life Policies

 

1.3.1

Supplier Support Conditions

The Seller has entered into SSCs with Suppliers in respect of Supplier Parts, the benefit of which is expressly made available to the Buyer for as long as the Buyer operates an Aircraft. The Buyer hereby accepts the benefit contained in such SSCs.

The Seller shall communicate the SSCs to the Buyer no later than at Delivery of the Aircraft scheduled to be delivered first, by making them available through the SPSA Application.

With respect to Supplier Parts that qualify as software, such software shall be subject to the terms and conditions applicable to Supplier software are as set out in Schedule 5 of this Appendix 2, “Supplier Software Sublicense Agreement”.

Nothing in this Clause 1.3.1 shall prevent or limit the Buyer from entering into direct negotiations and/or agreements with a Supplier with respect to different or additional terms and conditions of the warranties or service life policies applicable to Suppliers Parts.

The Seller shall monitor Suppliers’ compliance with the terms of the SSCs and shall, upon request, assist the Buyer as may be necessary in enforcing the Buyer’s rights thereunder.

 

1.3.2

Supplier’s Default

If any Supplier defaults in the performance of any material obligation with respect to a Supplier Part under either a warranty or service life policy contained in an SSC and the Buyer provides reasonable evidence of such default to the Seller in a timely manner:

 

  a)

with respect to a default under a warranty, then Clause 1.1 shall apply as if the Supplier Part was a Warranted Part, except that the warranty period indicated in the relevant SSC shall apply with respect to such Supplier Part; and

 

  b)

with respect to a default under a service life policy, then Clause 1.2 shall apply as if such Supplier Part was listed in Schedule 1 to this Appendix 2, except that the service life policy period indicated in the SSC shall apply with respect to such Supplier Part.

At the Seller’s request, the Buyer shall assign to the Seller, and the Seller shall be subrogated to, all of the Buyer’s rights against the corresponding Supplier arising by reason of such default and shall provide reasonable assistance to enable the Seller to enforce such rights.

APPENDIX 2

 

1.4

Interface issues

If the Buyer experiences a technical issue in the operation of an Aircraft or parts thereof due to a malfunction, the cause of which, after due and reasonable investigation, cannot readily be attributable to the design of a Warranted Part(s) or of any Other Part(s) installed on such Aircraft, but which reasonably appears to be attributable to the design characteristics of one or more parts of the Aircraft (an “Interface Issue”), then the Seller shall, if requested by the Buyer, conduct an investigation and analysis to determine, if possible, the cause or causes of the Interface Issue and to recommend such corrective action as may be feasible. The Buyer shall furnish to the Seller all data and information in the Buyer’s possession relating to the Interface Issue and shall cooperate with the Seller in the conduct of the Seller’s investigation.

The Seller shall as soon as is practicable advise the Buyer in writing of its conclusions with respect to the Interface Issue and of its recommended corrective action(s), if any.

If the Seller determines that the Interface Issue is primarily attributable to the design of a Warranted Part or the design of the installation of an Other Part, then the warranty of the Seller set out in Clause 1.1 shall apply.

If the Seller determines that the Interface Issue is primarily attributable to the design of an Other Part, then the Buyer shall make a claim under the applicable warranty in respect of such Other Part, provided by the relevant Supplier, the Propulsion Systems Manufacturer or the relevant BFE Supplier.

If the Seller determines that the Interface Issue is attributable partially to the design of a Warranted Part and partially attributable to the design of a Supplier Part, then the Seller shall, if requested by the Buyer, seek to provide a solution to the Interface Issue through the cooperative efforts of the Seller and the relevant Supplier.

It shall be the sole responsibility of the Buyer to take any recommended action in relation to such Interface Issue, including making any resulting warranty claim to the party to whom the Interface Issue is attributable, except that the Seller shall, if so requested by the Buyer, reasonably assist the Buyer in processing any warranty claim the Buyer may have against the Supplier of any Supplier Part.

The above investigation shall be conducted by the Seller at no charge to the Buyer, other than the transportation costs of the Seller’s personnel to the Buyer’s facilities, if required, except if the Seller demonstrates that it bears no responsibility in the Interface Issue or that the technical issue is not an Interface Issue, in which case the Seller shall be entitled to invoice the Buyer for any and all costs incurred in relation to such investigation.

 

1.5

Supplier Equipment

The Seller shall, to the extent necessary to perform the on-aircraft maintenance of the corresponding equipment, incorporate into the Customised Technical Data (including revisions) the information relating to Supplier equipment that is installed either on the Aircraft at Delivery or through Seller Service Bulletins after Delivery, subject to the Buyer having informed the Seller that it has implemented such Seller Service Bulletins. Such incorporation shall be performed on a free of charge basis during the Revision Service Period.

 

2.3.2

Buyer Furnished Equipment

Subject to the provisions of this Clause 2.3.2, the Seller shall, to the extent necessary to perform the on-aircraft maintenance of the corresponding equipment incorporate data relating to the Buyer Furnished Equipment that is installed on the Aircraft at Delivery (the “BFE Data”) into the Customised Technical Data. Such incorporation shall be performed on a free of charge basis during the Revision Service Period,

The Buyer shall cause the BFE Suppliers to supply the BFE Data to the Seller on its behalf and at its expense at least [***] prior to the Scheduled Delivery Period of the Aircraft scheduled to be delivered first. The Buyer shall further cause the BFE Suppliers to notify the Seller of any required change to such BFE Data and to provide the Seller with such BFE Data immediately upon its issuance.

The Seller shall not be liable for and the Buyer hereby indemnifies the Seller against all Losses, arising out of or in any way connected with any error, omission, non-conformity or defect in any Technical Data, resulting from the failure of a BFE Supplier to provide BFE Data as and when due, whether such Losses are asserted in contract or in tort.

BFE Data shall be in English and shall comply with the then applicable industry standards and shall be delivered in a digital format to be agreed in due time between the Parties.

The Seller shall provide, or shall cause to be provided, training at a Seller Training Centre or, if the unavailability of facilities or scheduling difficulties makes training at any Seller Training Centre impractical, then the Seller shall ensure that the Buyer is provided with such training at another location chosen by the Seller (individually or collectively a “Training Centre”).

 

4.2.2

Alternatively, if requested by the Buyer, the Seller may provide training at a location chosen by the Buyer, under terms and conditions to be agreed but subject always to the provisions of Clause 4.5.

After such deadline, if the Buyer gives notice to the Seller:
