Common use of Liquidated Damages Payments Clause in Contracts

Liquidated Damages Payments. The amounts described above for liquidated damages shall be calculated on the basis of Fees payable for the twelve full calendar months immediately following the applicable launch date, calculated using the method described in the definition of Prior Year’s Fees in Section 1.1.48, and any liquidated damages owed shall be paid within 30 days after notice of the amount owed is submitted to the payor by the payee. Additionally, if one party is primarily at fault for an initial period of delay but the other party is primarily at fault for a second period of delay, the damages shall be considered equal and shall cancel each other, without any right of termination. As used in this Article 4, “primarily due to the fault or failure of one party” means that the delay was proximately caused by factors within the party’s reasonable control, and material mistakes or failures by the other party did not so substantially contribute to the delay that it likely could have avoided. The parties agree that the liquidated damages described in this Article 4 represent a reasonable measure of damages. The parties agree that calculating the actual measure of damages to either party under the circumstances in which a Launch Date is delayed would be extremely difficult given the complexities of the business arrangements, the uncertainty of the revenues to be earned by either party through the arrangements set forth in this Agreement, and the uncertainty of the value of the opportunities that will have been lost by the terminating party if this Agreement is terminated as a result of any such delay. Amounts paid as liquidated damages under this Article 4 shall not be applied against the limits on liability set forth in Article 19. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Agreement is terminated by either party under Section 4.3 as a result of the willful misconduct of the other party, then the terminating party shall be entitled to seek actual damages in lieu of the liquidated damages penalty specified above.
