a) The Special Conditions and the General Conditions will continue to apply after termination, to the extent necessary to allow an orderly liquidation of the Agreement.
b) When the termination is based on the motives mentioned in Article 16.3.(b) of the General conditions, the Commission shall proceed to the recovery of any amounts already paid to the Partner and not justified by the documentation previously submitted by the Partner.
c) When the termination is based on other grounds, by derogation to Article 4 of the Special Conditions, the Partner shall submit the final narrative and financial reports with a request for payment within 60 calendar days from the termination date.
If no request is made within this time limit the Commission shall recover any amounts not justified by the documentation previously submitted by the Partner.
d) Without prejudice to the procedures established in Articles 21 and 22.6 of the General conditions, the Partner shall be entitled to payment only for the part of the Action carried out.
e) The Commission may reimburse penalties paid by the Partner in case of cancellation of orders and commitments entered into by the Partner for the implementation of the Action and which it cannot reasonably terminate on legal grounds.
When the Agreement is wrongfully terminated within the sense of Article 16.1 of the General conditions, or if it is terminated on the grounds set out in Article 16.2 b) or the termination is based on the grounds referred to in Article 16.3, paragraphs d), e) , f) or g), the previous paragraph shall not apply.
The Commission may suspend payments at any time following presumed infringements of the Agreement. The purpose of such a suspension is to give time to check whether the presumed infringements have in fact occurred and, where appropriate, to rectify them. The Commission shall inform the Partner in writing of the grounds for the suspension of payments.
As soon as circumstances allow, the Commission shall end the suspension of payments and inform the Partner accordingly in writing.
