6 Force Majeure and Notice
翻译实践
1. Force majeure means an event beyond the control of a Party, as a result of which the Party is
unable to perform its obligations under this Contract. An event of Force Majeure includes, but is not limited to, prohibition or acts by government or public agency, riot, war, hostility, public disturbance, strikes, other labor disputes and work stoppages, failure or interruption of transportation or other utilities, epidemic, fire, flood, earthquake, storm, tidal wave or other acts of nature.
Force majeure preventing a party from performing any of its obligations under this Contract, in whole or in part, may be asserted against the other party only if the prevented party gives notice by registered mail of the inception and cessation of the force majeure within fifteen (15) days in each case enclosing a confirmation by the proper authorities or published information attesting the reality of the facts and the accuracy of the data supplied. A party claiming force majeure has the burden to prove the direct relationship between the force majeure and the non-performance of its obligations under this Contract.
2. Should any Party be directly prevented from executing this Agreement or be delayed in
performing this Agreement by any event of force majeure, such as earthquake, typhoon, flood, fire and war and other unforeseen events, the happening and consequences of which are unpreventable and unavoidable, the affected Party shall notify the other Parties without delay and, within fifteen (15) days thereafter, provide detailed information regarding the events of force majeure and sufficient proof thereof, explaining the reason for its inability to perform or the delay in the execution of all or part of this Agreement. A certificate issued by the Chamber of Commerce or other appropriate authority where such circumstances occur shall be sufficient proof of the existence of such circumstances and their duration. The Parties shall, through consultations, decide whether to alter the Agreement to reflect the effects of the event of force majeure on the performance of this Agreement or to terminate the Agreement in the event that such force majeure persists for a period of six (6) months or more.
3. If one Party is prevented from performing any of its obligations under this Agreement due to
33
an event of force majeure, the time for performing the obligations under this Agreement specifically prevented from performance by such event of force majeure shall be extended by a period equal to the period of delay caused by such event of force majeure. The party claiming inability to perform its obligations due to an event of force majeure shall take appropriate measures to minimize or remove the effects of the event of force majeure and, within the shortest possible time, do its best to resume performance of the obligation (s) affected by the event of force majeure. If an event of force majeure occurs, neither party shall be responsible for any damage, increased cost or loss which the other party may sustain by reason of such a failure or delay of performance, and such failure or delay shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement. All other obligations under this Agreement and the time for performance thereof shall not be affected thereby.
4. Notices or other communications required to be given by one Party pursuant to this
Agreement shall be written in Chinese and may be delivered personally, sent by registered airmail (postage prepaid), by courier service or by facsimile transmission to the address of the other party set forth below or to such other address as may from time to time be designated by such party through notification to the other party. The dates on such notices shall be deemed to have been effectively given shall be determined as follows:
a) Notices given by personal delivery shall be deemed effectively given on the date of
personal delivery, provided that receipt shall be acknowledged in writing by the receiving party;
b) Notices sent by registered airmail (postage prepaid) shall be deemed effectively given
on the tenth (10th) day after the date on which they were mailed (as indicated by the postmark);
c) Notices sent by courier shall be deemed effectively given on the third (3rd) day after
they were sent by courier service;
d) Notices sent by facsimile transmission shall be deemed effectively given on the first (1st)
business day following the date of transmission, as indicated on the document in question.
During the valid term of this Agreement, if any party changes its address at any time, it shall forthwith notify the other party in writing of such change.
