4.3 SHA is entitled to execute the Agreement in different phases and to invoice the executed part separately.

c. in other cases, this on the understanding that the Other Party that is not acting in the exercise of a profession or business is entitled to dissolve the agreement by means of a written statement if the price increase exceeds 10% and takes place within three months after the conclusion of the agreement, unless SHA is then still prepared to execute the agreement on the basis of the original agreement, or if it is stipulated that the delivery will take place longer than three months after the purchase.
Article 5. The booking and confirmation
5.1 SHA accepts bookings in advance online or by telephone, subject to availability. The booking is valid for Parties from the moment SHA has confirmed the booking in writing or digitally.

SHA is entitled to invoice periodically.
6.2 If the Other Party fails to pay an invoice on time, the Other Party is legally in default. The Other Party will then owe interest. In the case of consumer purchase, the interest is equal to the legal interest. In other cases, the Counterparty owes an interest of 1% per month, unless the legal interest is higher, in which case the legal interest is due. The interest on the claimable amount will be calculated from the moment that the Other Party is in default until the moment of payment of the full amount due.
6.3 SHA has the right to have the payments made by the Other Party go first of all to reduce the costs, then to reduce the interest still due and finally to reduce the principal sum and the current interest.
6.4 SHA can, without being in default as a result, refuse an offer for payment if the Other Party designates a different order for the allocation of the payment. SHA can refuse full repayment of the principal if the outstanding and current interest and collection costs are not also paid.
6.5 Objections to the amount of an invoice do not suspend the payment obligation.
6.6 After the Other Party is in default in the (timely) fulfillment of its obligations, all reasonable costs for obtaining extrajudicial settlement will be borne by the Other Party.
