9.        TERMINATION:

(a)   Seller shall have the right to cancel purchase orders of the Buyer in the event the Buyer fails to comply with the terms of payment specified in this contract or in any prior or subsequent purchase order included herein.  In the event Seller shall have reasonable grounds to doubt, at any time, the Buyer’s financial responsibility to perform under this contract, the Seller shall demand, in writing, adequate assurances of performance from the Buyer and shall, until such assurances are received from Buyer, suspend its performance under this contract.  Upon receipt of a justified demand, as provided hereunder, Buyer’s failure to provide adequate assurances of performance, acceptable to the Seller, within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such notice, shall be considered a repudiation of the contract and shall entitle the Seller to proceed as specified in section (b) of this paragraph.

 

(b)   Except as otherwise provided herein, this order is subject to termination in whole or in part, at the election of Buyer upon delivering thirty (30) days advance written notice to Seller.  Upon receipt of such termination notice, Seller shall forthwith discontinue all work and the incurring of any additional expenses relating hereto except as may be directed by Buyer in the termination notice.  In such event, Buyer shall pay such amount as Seller and Buyer may agree is to be paid by reason of the termination.  In the event of failure to agree upon the amount to be paid by reason of the termination, Buyer will pay to Seller and Seller agrees to accept in full payment:  (I)  The stipulated price with respect to products completed in accordance with Buyer’s order, (II)  Seller’s cost and expense, including a reasonable allowance for profit, in connection with the unfinished work and raw materials on hand acquired for the completion of this order, and (III)  Cost or damages of completion (as the case may be and at the election of Seller) of contracts for raw materials ordered specifically for this order.  Provided that the total payments under (II) and (III) shall not exceed the stipulated price with respect to the same products, if finished, less the estimated cost of finishing work and unprocessed raw materials on hand acquired by Seller in connection with this order.  Nothing in this paragraph shall in any way modify any other provision of these terms and conditions relating to cancellation or termination by Buyer.

 

 

10.           FORCE  MAJEURE:  Neither Seller nor buyer shall be liable to the other for default or delay in delivering or accepting goods hereunder if caused by an Act of God, war, mobilization, riot, strike, embargo, shortage of utility, facility, material or labor, delay in transportation, breakdown or  accident, or compliance with or action taken to carry out the extent or purpose of any law or regulation.  When only a part of Seller’s or Buyer’s capacity to perform is excused under this paragraph, Seller or buyer must allocate production, deliveries, or receipt of deliveries among various customers or suppliers then under contract for similar products during the period when Buyer or Seller is unable to perform.  The allocation must be effected in a commercially fair and equitable manner.  When either Seller or Buyer claims an excuse for non-performance under this paragraph, it must give notice in writing to the other party.  When an allocation has been made, notice of the estimated quota made available for Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, must be given.  Should such inability to perform continue for a period in excess of sixty (60) days, Seller shall not be obligated to sell, nor shall Buyer be obligated to purchase, at a later date, that portion of the goods which Seller is unable to deliver or Buyer is unable to receive or use because of any of the aforementioned causes beyond the control of the parties.
