FORCE MAJEURE
Acts of God, fires, floods, weather, epidemics, pandemics, war, or other cause(s) beyond the reasonable control of Agilex, not reasonably foreseeable, not caused by acts or omissions of Agilex and that could not have been reasonably avoided through a work-around plan, which prevent Agilex from providing or procuring the Goods or from otherwise performing under this Form (“Force Majeure Event”) will suspend Agilex’s respective obligations under this Form during the period required to remove such Force Majeure Event. Agilex will promptly notify the Buyer of the Force Majeure Event and its cause. Upon cessation of the Force Majeure Event, the obligations of Agilex shall resume in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Form. Without limiting the application of the foregoing, if Agilex is prevented from performing on time or at all as a result of COVID-19 (or a similar epidemic or pandemic disease caused by a coronavirus), including measures taken by governments, companies, or individuals in response to COVID-19, this shall constitute a Force Majeure Event, provided that Agilex could not have reasonably avoided the impacts through a work-around plan. If Agilex’s supply of Goods is limited as a result of a Force Majeure Event, Agilex shall allocate the Goods amongst Buyer and other customers in such manner as Agilex may reasonably determine. If the period of the Force Majeure Event lasts longer than fifteen (15) calendar days, then Buyer is entitled, at any time thereafter, while such Force Majeure Event continues, to terminate this Agreement without any penalty, liability or further obligation therefore, immediately upon notice to Agilex, or, at its sole option, purchase alternative products from other suppliers in which case the obligations of Buyer and Agilex under this Form, if any, will be reduced accordingly.
