Delays contract clause examples

A Force Majeure event shall take effect at the moment such an event or circumstance occurs. Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure event that prevents, interferes with or delays the performance by [[Organization A:Organization]] or [[Organization B:Organization]], in whole or in part, of any of its obligations under this Agreement, the Party affected shall promptly give notice thereof to the other Party describing such event and stating the obligations the performance of which are affected (either in the original or in supplemental notices) and stating, as applicable:

Force Majeure Rights. If either Party is prevented or delayed in the performance of any of its obligations under the Agreement by a Force Majeure Event, such Party shall give prompt written notice thereof to the other Party specifying the matters constituting Force Majeure Event together with such evidence as reasonably can give and specifying the period for which it is estimated that such prevention or delay will continue, the Party claiming a Force Majeure Event shall be excused from the performance or the punctual performance of such obligations as the case may be from the date of such notice for so long as such cause of prevention or delay shall continue. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Party claiming Force Majeure Event estimates that the delay will exceed ​ days, or if the delay has, in fact, exceeded ​ days, the other Party may terminate this Agreement by giving at least ​ days written notice to the other Party.

Force Majeure. [[Organization C:Organization]] shall not be responsible for any failure or delay of [[Organization C:Organization]] in its performance hereunder by reason of fire, flood or other acts of God, lockout, acts of public enemy, riot, insurrection or any interruption, failure or defects in Internet, telephone or other interconnection service or in electronic or mechanical equipment or any other cause beyond the reasonable control [[Organization C:Organization]] (“Force Majeure Event”). During the duration of any Force Majeure Event, [[Organization C:Organization]] will use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such Force Majeure Event and will take reasonable steps to resume its performance under this Agreement with the least possible delay.

Effect of Force Majeure Event. Neither Party (the “Affected Party”) shall be liable to the other Party (the “Non-Affected Party”) for failure or delay to perform its obligation under the Agreement when such failure or delay is due to riots, storms, fires, explosions, floods, earthquakes, war, embargoes, blockades, insurrections, an act of God or any other cause similar thereto which is beyond the reasonable control of the Affected Party (“Force Majeure Event”). Each Party agrees to give the other Party prompt written notice of the occurrence of any Force Majeure Event, the nature thereof, and the extent to which the Affected Party will be unable fully to perform its obligations under the Agreement. If a condition constituting Force Majeure Event as defined herein exists for more than ​, the Parties shall negotiate a mutually satisfactory solution to the problem, if practicable, including termination of this Agreement upon ​ written notice from the failure of reaching a mutually satisfactory solution to the Force Majeure Event, or the use of a third-party to fulfill the obligations hereunder of the party invoking Force Majeure Event, at the expense of the party invoking Force Majeure Event.

In case of a Force Majeure Event the time for performance required by a Party under this Agreement shall be extended for any period during which the performance is prevented by the event. However, the other Party may terminate this Agreement by notice in writing if such an event which prevents performance continues for more than […​…].
