Under the present agreement, both companies hereby convene the

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Article one
... hereby authorizes .. .. to reproduce miniatures of the ..
.. .. ... model, under non-exclusive status, granted only for
1/18th-scale, bearing any marks affixed to its original.
Authorization to reproduce other ... vehicles rather than the
above referred .. .. .. ... model, shall be given by future annexes
or supplements to the present agreement, signed by both parties
hereof.
These reproductions shall be made in conformity with the prototypes
of the miniatures to be submitted to the approval of Mrs. .. at

It is hereby expressly declared that the present authorization
is conditioned to the approval of the respective miniature prototypes
and the package whereby the same shall be marketed, wherefore
.. is reserved the right to verify, during the course of the manufacturing
process, whether the reproduction of the .. .. .. .. model, and
any marks thereupon, as well as the quality of such miniatures,
are identical to those of the prototype receiving ...'s approval.
The marks placed on such miniatures shall be exactly identical
to those presented in the normal size vehicles, which .. .. was
authorized to reproduce, with exclusion of any other mark or all
marks of tobacco or beverages with over 1º alcoholic content.

relevance to the strict compliance with this general obligation
of quality. To that effect, ... considers such a determinant condition
for the signing of the present agreement, the default thereof
