In the event of extra savings in operating cost, the client may pay for the upgradation, if felt necessary/ viable, but it should not be a compulsion on the client to go in for upgradation only because of lack of spare parts or technicians. 26.0 COLLABORATIONS & MAINTAINANCE: In case of imported equipment, complete responsibility for smooth operation and maintenance shall lie on the bidders, for the warranty period. Extra claims for change in collaboration, or dispute with principals, or non-availability of spares due to upgradation by principals or any such other reasons shall not be entertained.
