Explanation:
By way of exception we have no obligation to deliver the ordered goods where we have for our part properly ordered the goods, but they have not been delivered correctly or on time (congruent covering transaction).

the explanation is there - just before - all is needed is to analyse it correctly:

"congruent" transaction : what we have ordered from our suppliers is "congruent" [i.e corresponds] to what our buyers have ordered from us - these two orders mirror each other - are the same but shifted one step along the supply chain - are paired [one exists because of the other - we made an ordered from our supplier only because of the order we received] - etc

"covering" transaction: our transaction with our suppliers was initiated in order to "cover" [=deliver] another linked/paired transaction - the corresponding order from our clients.

The company giving these terms and conditions is simply a "middleman" - washing its hands for selecting an unreliable supplier ...

neutral  Germaine: On parle de commandes/transactions identiques, d'accord, mais congruent (= adéquat, applicable, approprié, convenable) est de trop. Pourquoi l'ajouter? + cf. discussion.

disagree  Germaine: Ici, "covering" à le sens "contre-" en FR (le client place une commande; le fournisseur place un contre-commande à son grossiste/distributeur = order covering such client's order). Je ne lis pas "cost covering transaction".// See discussion.

  -> Any evidence to cover your categorical judgment?

disagree  Daryo: congruent = conforme - ahem - NO // covering = qui couvre les coûts transactionnels -NO again
