A party (the "Affected Party") shall not be held liable or deemed to be in default under this Agreement for any failure to perform its obligations if such failure results directly or indirectly from circumstances beyond the Affected Party's reasonable control ("Force Majeure"). Force Majeure includes but is not limited to strikes, lock-outs, civil warfare, flood or fire damage, environmental calamity, inclement weather, acts of God, legal enactment, governmental order, regulatory enactments and/or orders, imposition of sanctions by a country against the territory where any part of the Event is to held that adversely affects the staging of the Event or the import/export of a Vehicle into/out of any territory, any action taken by a governmental or public authority of any kind (including not granting a consent, exemption, approval or clearance), epidemic and disease, civil strife, terrorism (threatened or actual), and war. Subject to clause 11.2, the Affected Party must continue to perform its other obligations to the extent that they are not affected by the Force Majeure and must use all reasonable endeavours to overcome or remove the Force Majeure as quickly as possible.
If any event of Force Majeure delays or prevents the performance of the obligations of either party for a continuous period of fourteen (14) days, the party not so affected shall then be entitled to give notice to the Affected Party to terminate this Agreement with immediate effect without penalty. Such a termination notice shall be irrevocable except with the consent of both parties.
