The increase may be activated, in whole or in part, during the validity period of the framework agreement (including during the extended period - option), depending on the actual needs of the contracting entity, without exceeding the estimated maximum quantity corresponding to the period for which it applies (48 months).

Non-activation, partial activation, or full activation of the options set out above does not give the economic operator the right to any claim, damages, or compensation of any kind.
