Failure to deliver or to accept delivery in whole or in part because of the occurrence of an event of Force Majeure shall not constitute a default hereunder or subject either party to liability for any resulting loss or damage.

 

 

Upon the occurrence of any event of Force Majeure, the party affected by the event of Force Majeure shall within 5 (five) Business Days of the occurrence notify the other party hereto in writing of such event and shall specify in reasonable detail the facts constituting such event of Force Majeure. Where such notice is not given within the time required, Force Majeure shall not justify the non-fulfilment of any obligations under this Contract.

This clause shall not apply to any obligations to pay, indemnify or provide security or to any Concentrate for which vessel, truck or railway wagon space has been booked, pricing has been established, the Quotational period has commenced and/or payment has been made unless Buyer and Seller have expressly consented in writing. In these cases, parties shall find a reasonable solution for both sides in a fair and equitable manner.

 

In the event of Force Majeure, the Seller shall allocate its available supplies of such material, if any, among any or all of its existing customers in a fair and equitable manner.

Within 30 (thirty) days of the cessation of the Force Majeure event, the Parties shall reach agreement as to Seller's obligation to deliver and the Buyer's obligation to accept material of that quantity of material that could not be delivered and accepted hereunder because of the Force Majeure event, provided always that any such shortfall quantity has not been replaced by material pursuant to the terms above.
