However, if such Force Majeure prevents either Party from performing its material obligations under the Contract for a period in excess of 6 Months, either Party may terminate the Contract with immediate effect by notice in writing to the other Party. Any failure or delay by the Supplier in performing its obligations under the Contract which results from any failure or delay by an agent, Sub-contractor or supplier shall be regarded as due to Force Majeure only if that agent, Sub-contractor or supplier is itself impeded by Force Majeure from complying with an obligation to the Supplier. If either Party becomes aware of a Force Majeure event or occurrence which gives rise to or is likely to give rise to any such failure or delay on its part as described in clause 33.1 it shall immediately notify the other by the most expeditious method then available and shall inform the other of the period during which it is estimated that such failure or delay shall continue.
