Factors Responsible for the Sample Clauses

Factors Responsible for the. Occurrence of Landslides A landslide is seldom attributed to a single causative factor. A number of factors contribute to slides, including geology, gravity, weather, groundwater, wave action, and human actions. It is of fundamental importance to identify these causative factors for landslide occurrences in a region, which often is difficult. It is also usually hard to establish the relationships between various causative factors. The great variety of slope movements reflects the diversity of factors that may disturb the slope stability. Nevertheless, it may be possible to demarcate landslide susceptible areas by identifying and analyzing the factors that have caused landslides in the past (Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxxx, 1999). It is of primary importance to understand the conditions, under which mass movements are caused and the factors that trigger the movements. Only a systematic study makes it possible to recognize the extent of danger and to propose adequate remedial measures. In general, the factors causing landslides can be categorized into natural and anthropogenic factors (Figure 4), which have been briefly described here. Figure 4. Flowchart showing causative factors of landslide 3.3.1 Natural Factors Natural factors can be grouped into inherent and external factors. Inherent Factors The inherent factors represent the inherent characteristics of hill slope. These factors include geology, slope gradients, local relief, hydrogeological conditions, as well as land use and land cover. Lithology It is an important geological parameter as it is related to the basic characters of the slope forming materials. There are two fundamental types of slope forming materials – loose, unconsolidated materials and in-situ rocks. The unconsolidated materials, except older fluvial materials, in general, have least shear strength and are more prone to failure. Particularly, if they are charged with water, they show high potential to failure. The rocks are in general more stable as compared to unconsolidated materials. The lithological characters related to failure potential are related to their erodibility response to the processes of weathering and erosion. For example, igneous rocks, such as granite, are hard and massive and hence show greater resistance to erosion. Moreover, they have interlocking crystals, which is mainly responsible for their increased angle of shearing resistance. On the contrary, the terrigenous sedimentary rocks are more vulnerable to erosion and hen...

  • SELLER RESPONSIBLE FOR TAXES AND RECORDS Seller shall be liable for any applicable income taxes, levies, duties, costs, charges, withholdings, deductions or any charges of equivalent effect imposed on, or in respect of the Goods or Services provided by Seller to Apple under this Agreement.

If Apple provides Seller with a valid exemption certificate, Seller shall not collect the Transaction Taxes covered by such certificate. All charges will be supported by valid tax invoices provided by Seller to Apple consistent with the relevant jurisdiction. Where any relevant taxation authority imposes any income tax on the payment for Goods or Services by Apple to Seller and requires Apple to withhold such tax ("Withholding Tax"), Apple may deduct such Withholding Tax from the payment to Seller and remit such Withholding Tax to the relevant taxing authority on behalf of Seller. The determination of the applicability of a Withholding Tax is at Apple’s sole discretion. In the event a reduced Withholding Tax rate may apply on payments to Seller, Seller shall furnish to Apple as soon as practicable all documentation necessary to evidence the qualifications for the reduced rate of Withholding Tax. If the necessary documentation is not provided in a timely fashion before payment, the reduced Withholding Tax rate will not apply and any payments to Seller shall be subject to the full rate of Withholding Tax. Upon reasonable request by Seller, Apple shall furnish Seller with tax receipts or other documentation evidencing the payment of such Withholding Tax when available. Seller shall be solely responsible for filing the appropriate tax forms and paying all taxes or fees, including estimated taxes and employment taxes, due with respect to Seller's receipt of payment under this Agreement.

Where applicable, a non-U.S. Seller shall note, on each invoice issued to Apple under this Agreement, the amount of Services performed, or Goods provided by Seller within the United States, if any. Seller further agrees to provide Apple with reasonable assistance in the event of a government audit.
