Emergency and other reasons Clause Samples
The 'Emergency and other reasons' clause allows for exceptions or modifications to standard contractual obligations in the event of unforeseen emergencies or other specified circumstances. Typically, this clause outlines what constitutes an emergency—such as natural disasters, government actions, or other events beyond the parties' control—and details the procedures for notifying the other party and adjusting performance requirements. Its core function is to provide flexibility and protect parties from being penalized for non-performance or delays caused by extraordinary situations outside their control.
Emergency and other reasons. We can interrupt or disconnect your electricity supply at any time without notice to you in an emergency, if we are permitted or required by law or if Western Power Networks requires us to do so. We will use our best endeavours to turn your electricity on again as soon as reasonably practicable once it is safe to do so. If we disconnect your electricity supply because that emergency was caused or substantially contributed to by you or anyone under your care, custody or control or who was present at the premises with your permission, then we can charge you a fee for disconnecting your electricity supply and we can also charge you a fee for reconnecting your electricity supply. We will reconnect your electricity supply when you ask us to do so and we are satisfied that the emergency no longer exists, and it is otherwise safe to reconnect your electricity supply.
