Excusable Delay The Contractor is entitled to an equitable adjustment of time, issued via Change Order, for delays caused by the following:
Force Majeure Delays In any case where either party hereto is required to do any act (other than the payment of money), delays caused by or resulting from Acts of God or Nature, war, civil commotion, fire, flood or other casualty, labor difficulties, shortages of labor or materials or equipment, government regulations, delay by government or regulatory agencies with respect to approval or permit process, unusually severe weather, or other causes beyond such party’s reasonable control the time during which act shall be completed, shall be deemed to be extended by the period of such delay, whether such time be designated by a fixed date, a fixed time or “a reasonable time.”
Epidemic Failure Epidemic Failure means the occurrence, at any time during the Warranty Period, of the repeat failure of a Product over time, having the same root cause, at a rate deemed by Leviton to be an Epidemic Failure. In the event of an Epidemic Failure during the Warranty Period that does not arise solely from Supplier’s non-compliance with Buyer’s specification, then (i) Buyer shall have the option of requiring Supplier to issue an immediate return material authorization (“RMA”) related to such Product for the affected quantities of such Product; and (ii) the following costs and expenses incurred by Buyer as a result of the Epidemic Failure shall be borne by Supplier: the costs of repair or replacement of the affected product, the shipping and transportation costs for the affected Product, costs to re-inspect or test 100% of the rejected lots of batches/sorting costs, and removal or reinstallation expenses, including and without limitation, labor costs or expenses, and any other reasonable expenses incurred by Leviton in connection with the Epidemic Failure.
Excusable Delays Except with respect to defaults of subproviders, the Engineer shall not be in default by reason of any failure in performance of this contract in accordance with its terms (including any failure to progress in the performance of the work) if such failure arises out of causes beyond the control and without the default or negligence of the Engineer. Such causes may include, but are not restricted to, acts of God or the public enemy, acts of the Government in either its sovereign or contractual capacity, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, and unusually severe weather.
