that a presentation does not comply, it may refuse to honour or negotiate.

approach the applicant for a waiver of the discrepancies. This does not, however, extend the period mentioned in sub-article 14 (b).
b. 当开证行确定提示不符时，可以依据其独立的判断联系申请人放弃有关不符点。然而，这并不因此延长14条（b）款中述及的期限。

to refuse to honour or negotiate, it must give a single notice to that effect to the presenter.
