L&B may terminate a Contract unilaterally at any time, provided that it compensates the Seller for what has already been delivered or performed properly and for Seller’s proven costs as a direct result of such termination. Products whole or partially produced at the time of termination will be turned over to L&B upon its request. L&B is not obligated to take delivery of what has been whole or partially produced at the time of termination. Without prejudice to applicable law, however, no compensation shall be paid for any Consequential Losses arising from such termination or arising from any other breach of a Contract by L&B.
10.2. L&B may terminate a Contract with immediate effect and without any liability, if one of the following events occur: (i) a material change in Seller's management, business, assets or shareholdings; (ii) bankruptcy, moratorium, receivership, liquidation of the Seller or any kind of composition between the Seller and its creditors; or (iii) any circumstances which are, in the opinion of L&B, likely to affect materially Seller’s ability to carry out its obligations under the Contract.
11. Force majeure
11.1. In the event of force majeure, either party shall be released and not bound to fulfil its obligations to the other party under the Contract for the duration of the force majeure event, provided that the non-performing party gives written notice to the other party of the force majeure event promptly after becoming aware of it. The non-performing party shall exercise all reasonable efforts to eliminate the force majeure event and to resume performance of its affected obligations as soon as practically possible.
11.2. Neither Party is liable for any damage that is a direct or indirect consequence of a breach of the Contract due to a force majeure event.
11.3. As events of ‘force majeure’ shall be considered: circumstances or events beyond a party’s reasonable control, which hinder or prevent such party from fulfilling its obligations towards the other party, including but not limited to war, rebellion, fire, flood, decisions or interventions of governments. Breakdown of plant or essential machinery, emergency repair or maintenance or default of any subcontractor of Seller shall not be considered as events of ‘force majeure’.
11.4. If the force majeure event lasts longer than sixty (60) calendar days, either party is entitled to terminate the Contract without any court intervention being required, and without any compensation due to the other party. In such event, any sums paid by L&B will be refunded save to the extent that a fair sum shall be paid to the Seller in recognition of work done to the point of termination.
12. Publicity and Confidentiality
12.1. Seller will not publicly announce or disclose the existence of the Contract or its terms and conditions, or advertise or release any publicity regarding the Contract without the prior written consent of L&B.

WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, SELLER SHALL NOT INCLUDE ANY CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION IN ANY PATENT OR TRADEMARK APPLICATION OR APPLICATION FOR ANY OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT WITHOUT PRIOR EXPRESS WRITTEN AUTHORISATION BY L&B.
13. Severability
If any provision of the Contract (including these terms and conditions) or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision which can be given effect without the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or its application and to this end the remaining provisions hereof will remain unaffected. The invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by such valid, legal or enforceable provision which comes closest to the intention of the Parties as at the conclusion of the Contract.
14. Applicable law and dispute resolution
14.1. The Contract and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter or its conclusion (including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed exclusively by the laws of the country of incorporation of L&B, with the exclusion of the rules on conflicts of laws and the UN Convention on Contracts of the International Sale of Goods dd. 11 April 1980.
14.2. For any dispute between the Parties, the Seller is only entitled to initiate legal proceeding in the courts of the place where L&B is incorporated whilst L&B shall, at its sole discretion, be entitled to initiate legal proceeding either in the courts of the place where L&B is incorporated or the place where the Seller is incorporated.
