Article 27. Force Majeure
The impossibility for one or other of the PARTIES to this CONTRACT of carrying out the obligations set out in the CONTRACT by reasons of force majeure, such as natural disasters, riots, strikes, transport accidents or other causes beyond its control, shall not be considered as a breach of the CONTRACT, provided that the PARTY affected by these circumstances immediately brings them to the notice of the other PARTY and continues to take all the measures in its power to ensure that its obligations are respected in so far as possible.
However, and notwithstanding the conditions of Article 13, should the case of force majeure continue for an uninterrupted term of more than thirty (30) days, it would confer the right of the cancellation of this CONTRACT by one or other PARTY eight days after it has given formal notice of its decision, without liability for compensation being incurred on either side
