　　However, if it is impractical to make the repair by the SELLER, and if forwarding by the SELLER of replacement parts, and materials can not be accomplished without impairing or delaying the operation or working of the VESSEL, then, in any such event, the BUYER shall, cause the necessary repairs or replacements to be made elsewhere at the discretion of the BUYER provided that the BUYER shall first and in all events, as soon as possible, give the SELLER notice in writing, or by telefax (confirmed in writing) of the time and place such repairs will be made and, the SELLER shall have the right to make attendance and verification, without unreasonably impairing or delaying vessel’s operational commitments or works, by its own representative(s) or that of Classification Society of the nature and extent of the defects complained of.

In all minor cases, the Guarantee Engineer, under clause 5 of this Article shall act for and on behalf of the SELLER.
