Change in Law
本協議生效後，如果中華民國的任何中央或地方立法或行政機關修改任何中央或地方法律，法規，條例或其他規範性檔，包括修改，補充，廢除，解釋或公佈任何實施方法或規則現行法律，法規，條例或其他規範性檔（統稱“修訂”），或者發佈新的法律，法規，條例或者其他規範性檔（統稱“新規”），則在以下前提下適用：
Upon effectiveness of this Agreement, if any central or local legislative or administrative authority in the Taiwan (R.O.C) amends any central or local Taiwan (R.O.C) law, regulation, ordinance or other normative document, including amending, supplementing, repealing, interpreting or publishing implementing methods or rules for any existing law, regulation, ordinance or other normative document (collectively referred to as the “Amendment”), or issuing any new law, regulation, ordinance or other normative document (collectively referred to as “New Regulation’’), the following provisions shall apply:
9.1在本協議有效期內，修訂或新規對一方有利（而另一方不會因此產生任何重大不利影響），則各方應及時向有關當局申請（如有必要）以獲取此類利益修訂或新規，各方應盡一切努力促使批准此類申請。
If the Amendment or New Regulation is more favorable to any Party than any applicable law, regulation, ordinance or other normative document then in force on the effective date of this Agreement (and the other Party will not thus be imposed any material adverse effect), then the Parties shall timely apply to relevant authority (if necessary) for obtaining the benefits of such Amendment or New Regulation. The Parties shall make every effort to procure the approval of such application.
9.2如果由於修訂或新規，對NOCERA的經濟利益有任何直接或間接的重大不利影響，並且各方不能按照本協議之規定解決對NOCERA經濟利益的不利影響，則在NOCERA通知其他各方後，各方應及時協商對本協議進行所有必要的修改，以最大限度地保護NOCERA的經濟利益。
If, due to the Amendment or New Regulation, there is any direct or indirect material adverse effect on the economic interests of NOCERA hereunder, and the Parties cannot solve such adverse effect imposed on the economic interests of NOCERA in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, then after NOCERA notifies the other Parties, the Parties shall timely negotiate to make all requisite amendment to this Agreement to maximally protect the economic interests of NOCERA hereunder.
| 10. | 不可抗力 |
Force Majeure
10.1“不可抗力事件”是指任何超出締約方合理控制範圍的事件，並且不能通過受影響方的合理注意義務來防止，包括但不限於自然災害，戰爭和暴動，但欠缺債信，資本或資金不視為超出一方合理控制範圍。如果發生不可抗力事件延遲或妨礙履行本協議，受影響的一方僅對此類延遲或無法履行不承擔責任。尋求免除本協定履約義務或本協定任何條款規定的受影響方應立即通知他方被免除的義務和完成履行應採取的措施。
A “Force Majeure Event” refers to any event that is beyond the reasonable control of a Party and cannot be prevented with reasonable care of the affected Party, including but not limited to natural disasters, war and riot. However, any shortage of credit, capital or finance shall not be regarded as an event beyond the reasonable control of a Party. In the event that the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event delays or prevents the performance of this Agreement, the affected Party shall not be liable for any obligations hereunder only for such delayed or prevented performance. The affected Party who seeks to be exempt from the performance obligation under this Agreement or any provision hereof shall inform the other Party, without delay, of the exemption of obligation and the approaches that shall be taken to complete performance.
10.2只有當受影響方已盡一切合理努力履行本協議時，尋求豁免義務的一方始可免除履行被延遲或被阻礙的義務，而不承擔任何責任。一旦此類責任免除的原因被糾正或修補，各方同意盡最大努力恢復履行本協議。
The Party affected by Force Majeure Event shall not assume any liability hereunder, provided that only when the affected Party has made all reasonable efforts to perform this Agreement, the Party who seeks exemption of obligation may be exempted from performing such obligation and only to the extent of the delayed or impeded performance. Once the cause for such exemption of liability is corrected and remedied, each Party agrees to use his or its best efforts to resume the performance of this Agreement.
