​

14. Force Majeure/Delays

(a) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Seller shall not be liable or responsible for any delay in or failure of delivery of Products being purchased hereunder by any reason of force majeure, including, but not limited to the Seller’s inability to obtain Products from its suppliers or to obtain Products on a timely basis, or as a result of interruption of transportation, delays in delivery, governmental regulation, labor disputes, strikes, war, flood, accidents, terrorism, acts of God, civil disturbance, quota restrictions, cyber-attacks, actions or inactions of government, or any other cause beyond Seller’s control, whether or not such cause be of the same class or kind enumerated above, such enumeration being expressly understood in addition to the other causes or classes of causes, Seller shall have the right to allocate available Products among its customers in such proportions as it deems appropriate, and in its sole and absolute discretion.

(b) In the event Seller is unable to make timely delivery of all or a portion of the Products being sold hereunder, because of any events or occurrences referred to herein, Purchaser must accept delivery of the Products whenever Seller is able to make such delivery regardless of the duration of the delay in the delivery of the Products, or Seller may, in its sole and absolute discretion, cancel the undelivered portions of Products without liability to Seller.

(c) Except as otherwise provided in subparagraph (b) of this paragraph 14, Purchaser is entitled to cancel that portion of any order that is excessively delayed, and only that portion, it being understood that time is not of the essence. Seller shall not be responsible or liable for any resulting back charges or other damages incurred by Purchaser on account of any delays, it being understood that Purchaser’s sole remedy for delays shall be cancellation in the manner and to the extent specified herein. To invoke cancellation of such excessively delayed orders or portions thereof, Purchaser must give Seller ten (10) days prior written notice thereof, and such cancellation shall be effective upon the expiration of such ten (10) day period provided Seller has not ordered or shipped such goods in the interim.

Prior to the return of any Product to Seller, Purchaser must identify the Product or portion thereof and obtain written authorization and shipping instructions from Seller. Seller has the right, in its sole discretion, to permit or reject any return. Seller’s authorization to return any Product does not relieve Purchaser of its obligation to pay for the Product. Upon receipt, inspection, and acceptance of the Product by Seller, Seller will issue a credit memo to Purchaser, solely to be used against future purchases, less applicable re-stocking fees. If Seller rejects the returned Product, Seller will not issue a credit memo to Purchaser. Seller reserves the right to reject any hazardous material.
