SELLER shall not be liable or responsible to BUYER, nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement, when and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by or results from acts beyond SELLER'S reasonable control, including, without limitation: (a) acts of God; (b) flood, fire, earthquake or explosion; (c) war, invasion, hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot or other civil unrest; (d) changes in law; (e) actions, embargoes or blockades in effect on or after the date of this Agreement; (f) action by any governmental authority; (g) national or regional emergency; (h) strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances; (i) shortage of adequate power or transportation facilities; and (j) shortage or unavailability of raw materials or product components (each a "Force Majeure Event").
If SELLER determines that its ability to supply the total demand for the Products, or to obtain material used directly or indirectly in the manufacture of the Products, is hindered, limited or made impracticable due to a Force Majeure Event, SELLER may allocate its available supply of Products or such material (without obligation to acquire other supplies of any such Products or materials) among its customers on such basis as SELLER determines to be equitable without liability for any failure or performance which may result therefrom.
If the Force Majeure Event continues for more than  consecutive days, either party may terminate this agreement by giving  business days’ written notice to the other party.
