Termination of the Concessionaire contract does not release the Concessionaire from the obligation to satisfactorily settle customer complaints and claims. The Concessionaire will promptly remove all Concessionaire owned fixtures and supplies excluding permanent changes to real property. On failure to remove the Concessionaire’s property within 15 days after terminiation, the Contracting Officer may direct Concessionaire’s property to be removed and stored in a warehouse at the Concessionaire’s expense. If the Concessionaire is indebted to the NAFI for more than 15 days, the Concessionaire authorizes and empowers the Contracting Officer to take possession of the Concessionaire’s property and dispose of same by public sale without notice, and out of the proceeds of sale, satisfy all costs and indebtedness to NAFI.

6. Nonwaiver of Defaults. Any failure by the NAFI to enforce or require strict performance of any terms or conditions of this Concessionaire contract will not constitute a waiver, and will not affect or impair such terms and conditions in any way or effect the right of the NAFI at any time to avail itself of such remedies as it may have for breach or breaches of such terms and conditions.

Any item found to have a latent defect(s) may be returned to the Concessionaire for replacement or refund as determined by the Contracting

Officer.
