Discusing a Draft contract

- Let’s proceed with the discussion of our Draft Contract for the delivery of chemical equipment. What shall we take up today?

- We’ve finished with the prices but there are some comments on the delivery dates and guarantees.

- Is there anything you don’t like about the delivery schedule? The dates are the shortest we can afford.

- But the project is a top priority one. We would ask you to speed up the deliveries.

- All right. We are always ready to cooperate where we can, but we can’t give our final reply before we get the manufacturer’s consent.

- How long will that take?

- About 2 weeks.

- All right, we’ll look at this again later.

- Then let’s pass on to the guarantee clause. You are aware, that the equipment we offer you is highly sophisticated, reliable and easy to run. It’s in great demand, you know.
