cancellation
Explanation:
Entfall is synonymous with Wegfall hier. What they are saying is that the customer will have to pay in case an order is cancelled (or dropped) after having been placed. Nothing to do with scrap, rejection or loss here, IMHO.

loss


Explanation:
any loss, shrink, etc. with respect to weight at shipment shall be borne by the customer; this is just a guess, based on the fact that the goods are being invoiced based on "original" weight
