Common use of Timeliness of Instructions Clause in Contracts

Timeliness of Instructions. In giving an Instruction, the Fund shall take into consideration delays which may occur due to the involvement of a Subcustodian or agent, differences in time zones, and other factors particular to a given market, exchange or issuer. When the Custodian has established specific timing requirements or deadlines with respect to particular classes of Instructions and adequate notice thereof has been provided to the Fund, or when an Instruction is received by the Custodian at such a time that it could not reasonably be expected to have acted on such Instruction due to time zone differences or other factors beyond its reasonable control, the Custodian shall not be responsible for any increased risk or failure to timely complete any settlement to the extent that such risk arises out of such delay.
