   1. It is agreed that should the Device have been loaned for free use and/or provided on the basis of an operational lease to the Client, Labware shall be entitled to demand that the Client return the Device even before the Agreement expiry date indicated in the Order, should the Client not have used the Device for a period exceeding 60 (sixty) days, including non-consecutive days, during the currency of the Agreement. In such an eventuality the Client shall return the Device to Labware no later than 5 (five) days after the date on which Labware specifically requests return of the Device, at the Client’s own expense, to be sent to Labware’s registered office. Return of the Device to Labware shall extinguish its own obligation to return the Device to the Device Vendor.
   2. In any eventualities other than those described in paragraph 18.1 above, the Client shall return the Device in the manner and subject to the time limits indicated in paragraph 10.5 above.
