Excuse for Nonperformance or Delayed Performance Except with respect to defaults of subcontractors, Contractor/Vendor shall not be in default by reason of any failure in performance of this contract in accordance with its terms (including any failure by Contractor/Vendor to make progress in the prosecution of the work hereunder which endangers such performance) if Contractor/Vendor has notified the Commission or designee within 15 days after the cause of the delay and the failure arises out of causes such as: acts of God; acts of the public enemy; acts of the State and any other governmental entity in its sovereign or contractual capacity; fires; floods; epidemics; quarantine restrictions; strikes or other labor disputes; freight embargoes; or unusually severe weather. If the failure to perform is caused by the failure of a subcontractor to perform or to make progress, and if such failure arises out of causes similar to those set forth above, Contractor/Vendor shall not be deemed to be in default, unless the services to be furnished by the subcontractor were reasonably obtainable from other sources in sufficient time to permit Contractor to meet the contract requirements. Upon request of Contractor, the Commission or designee shall ascertain the facts and extent of such failure, and, if such officer determines that any failure to perform was occasioned by any one or more of the excusable causes, and that, but for the excusable cause, Contractor’s progress and performance would have met the terms of the contract, the delivery schedule shall be revised accordingly, subject to the rights of the State under the clause entitled (in fixed-price contracts, “Termination for Convenience,” in cost-reimbursement contracts, “Termination”). (As used in this Paragraph of this clause, the term “subcontractor” means subcontractor at any tier).
Failure of Performance (Art. 44)
Contract Performance C19.1 The Contractor shall ensure that: C19.1.1 the Goods conform in all respects with the Specification and, where applicable, with any sample or performance demonstration approved by the Authority; C19.1.2 the Goods operate in accordance with the relevant technical specifications and correspond with the requirements of the Specification and any particulars specified in the Contract; C19.1.3 the Goods conform in all respects with all applicable Laws; and C19.1.4 the Goods are free from defects in design, materials and workmanship and are fit and sufficient for all the purposes for which such Goods are ordinarily used and for any particular purpose made known to the Contractor by the Authority.
Excused Performance 6.1 Notwithstanding the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, in which case Clause 17 will govern, BT will not be liable for any failure or delay to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement (including any of its obligations to meet any Service Levels) to the extent that BT’s failure or delay in performing arises as a result of: 6.1.1 any failure or delay by the Customer to perform any of the Customer’s obligations under this Agreement; 6.1.2 any act or omission other than on the part of a BT Affiliate or a subcontractor or supplier appointed by it unless that BT Affiliate, subcontractor or supplier has invoked their force majeure rights under their contract with BT; or 6.1.3 Applicable Law, a court order, an application for interlocutory relief or injunction restricting or preventing BT from supplying a Service.
Nonperformance As used in this Contract, “failure to perform” means failure, for whatever reason, to deliver goods and/or perform work as specified and scheduled in this Contract. If Contractor fails to perform under this Contract, then District, after giving seven days’ written notice and opportunity to cure to Contractor, has the right to complete the work itself, to obtain the contracted goods and/or services from other contractors, or a combination thereof, as necessary to complete the work. Both parties agree that Contractor shall bear any reasonable cost difference, as measured against any unpaid balance due Contractor, for these substitute goods or services.
