        b、若第二次验收测试失败的责任在被转让方,则被转让方应为转让方技术人员提供往返机票,并承担第三次验收测试期间他们在华的食宿费和当地交通费。
      第三次验收测试时,若合同设备达到了验收标准,则双方应签署四份合同设备的验收合格证,每方各执两份。
      9.1.5 第三次验收测试时,若合同设备未达到验收标准,双方应共同分析原因并继续验收测试。若二个月后,还达不到验收标准,转让方将对有缺陷的合同设备进行修理,或更换以符合本合同规定的技术指标、质量和性能标准的新设备。转让方与被转让方应在合同工厂座谈讨论解决此类问题的方法。
    9.2 合同材料的最终验收
      9.2.1 合同材料每次运抵合同工厂后,被转让方人员应立即对其进行检验。
      9.2.2 转让方有权自费派其检验人员参加开箱检验。
      9.2.3 被转让方应提前两周用电报、电传或传真通知转让方检验的预定日期和现场。如到了检验日期转让方未能派其人员去现场,由被转让方在转让方人员缺席情况下进行检验。
      9.2.4 检验后,如确定合同材料的数量或质量与订单不符,转让方应在检验后20个工作日内接到数量短缺或不符货运要求的书面通知。转让方在收到通知后的30天内或合理时间内尽快根据情况,发运短少部分的合同材料或符合要求的合同材料。

      9.2.6 本第九章不包括运输时及运输后出现的损坏,其补救责任在被转让方。如被转让方要求,转让方应提供合理的帮助。
    9.3 合同产品的最终验收
      将每阶段首批发运的合同材料组装成首批合同产品,按照技术文件中提供的技术指标,用合同设备对该首批合同产品进行测试。如该首批合同产品测试工作圆满完成,即意味着合同产品最终验收合格。整机经测试符合全部技术指标,测试工作胜利完成,即可认为完成了合同产品的验收测试义务。
第十章 担保和保证
    10.1 转让方保证按本合同向被转让方提供的合同设备、合同设备用品测试软件和技术文件为当时的技术,适于制造合同产品;保证在本合同期间将免费向被转让方提供与此相关的更新后的测试软件和技术文件。
    10.2 若被转让方发现转让方提供的本合同设备、测试软件和技术文件验收不合格,转让方应在收到被转让方的书面通知后30天内,向被转让方免费发送所要求的合格的合同设备、测试软件和技术文件,转让方向被转让方提供改正了的合同设备、测试软件和技术文件,这应为被转让方唯一的补救措施。
    10.3 各阶段合同设备验收测试胜利完成后,今后成功制造合同产品责任即成为被转让方的责任。但是如双方认为完全因为转让方提供的模块有缺陷,或文件有缺陷致使合同设备不符质量标准,转让方应纠正完全由转让方导致的任何缺陷。转让方承认转让方向被转让方提供的所有专有模块中,证实完全因转让方原因致使模块有缺陷的故障率不超过5%。
    10.4 如完全因转让方能控制的因素致使转让方未能按本合同附件二中规定的日期交付合同设备、软件或技术文件,则转让方应为延期交付合同设备、软件和技术文件,向被转让方缴付罚金,费率如下:
      第一至第四周,每迟交付一周,付相应阶段延期交付货物价格的0.5%。
      自第五周起,每迟交付一周,付相应阶段延期交付货物价格的1%。
      上述总罚金不应超过相应阶段延期交付货物价格的5%。迟交天数不足一周,以一周计算。
    10.5 转让方按本合同第10.4款的规定向被转让方缴付罚金,并不因此即免除转让方继续交付合同设备、软件和技术文件的义务。根据此条款缴付罚金是转让方迟交货物,被转让方因而获得的唯一补救措施。
    10.6 如果一定阶段用的转让方的合同设备、软件或技术文件延期交付六个月以上,完全是因转让方所能控制的原因所致,则被转让方有权终止本合同。在该情况下,转让方应向被转让方退回被转让方为该阶段所付的全部费用,并加付5%的年息。在这种情况下,按本条款选择赔偿即为被转让方的唯一补救措施。
    10.7 合同设备保证
      合同设备保证见本合同附件八。
    10.8 软件保证
      软件保证和软件维护向合同产品的最终用户提供,转让方软件许可证也一并提供。

    11.5 被转让方承认_________及其相应的中文名称是转让方及其使用_________或相应中文名称的子公司和分公司的商品名称的主要特征;承认_________标志,_________和相应中文名或任何英语或汉语的派生词都是转让方与被转让方制造的产品的重要商标,是与该产品配套服务的重要商标。转让方给予被转让方权利使用本合同附件七(转让方的商标)所列的转让方的商标。转让方的商标只许可用于被转让方在合同工厂制造并在中华人民共和国销售的合同产品。被转让方同意使用转让方发明的标志,这并不意味着将标志的拥有权或正当利润转让给了被转让方。除非由本合同授权或由转让方另行书面授权,否则被转让方无权在任何产品上、广告上或在销售或促销中使用任何转让方发明的商标。
    11.6 除非有关法律要求,否则在未征得对方书面同意前,任何一方不得将本合同内容泄露给任何第三方。
    11.7 转让方不将其专利或版权的许可证或权利授于被转让方。但是转让方同意在本合同期内就其在中华人民共和国的任何专利或版权,不向被转让方提出质疑,这只限于该质疑会妨碍被转让方使用本合同给予的权利。被转让方承认任何时候专有技术均系转让方财产。
    11.8 如严重违反本合同保密条款,则非违约方有权终止本合同。
    11.9 被转让方同意将许可的商标只在中华人民共和国制造和销售的合同产品上使用。(任何在中华人民共和国以外国家销售的合同产品不应含转让方的商标和/或商品名称。)
