For the purposes of this Contract, an Event of Force Majeure (an "Event of Force Majeure") shall mean an event, condition, or circumstance and the effects thereof beyond the reasonable control and without the fault or negligence of the Party claiming an Event of Force Majeure, which, despite all reasonable efforts of the Party claiming an Event of Force Majeure to avoid or to prevent it or mitigate its effects, causes a delay or disruption in the performance of any obligation imposed hereunder.
An Event of Force Majeure must adversely delay or disrupt the performance by the Party claiming an Event of Force Majeure of its obligations under this Contract and must not be the direct or indirect result of the failure of such Party to perform any of its obligations under this Contract. To be considered an Event of Force Majeure, the Party claiming force majeure must give the other Party written Notice thereof.
