TSP shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform any of its obligations if the delay or failure results from events or circumstances outside its reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, strikes, lock outs, accidents, war, fire, breakdown of plant or machinery or shortage or unavailability of Goods from the source of supply, and TSP shall be entitled to a reasonable extension of its obligations. If the delay persists for such time as TSP considers unreasonable, it may, without liability on its part, terminate the contract.

16. WAIVER

The failure by either party to enforce at any time or for any period any one or more of the Terms and Conditions herein shall not be a waiver of them or of the right at any time subsequently to enforce all Terms and Conditions of this Agreement.
