If the hindrance continues for at least three months the buyer has the right to withdraw from the non-fulfilled part of the contract after having granted dMT an appropriate extension period.
  4. In case of a delay dMT is not responsible for, the client is not entitled to raise a claim for compensation because of customary negligence against dMT. This applies accordingly to claims for compensation because of non-fulfilment after withdrawing from a contract.
