9.1. The Parties shall not be held liable for failure or partial failure to fulfil their obligations should this failure result from a force majeure event or circumstance (including but not limited to fire, earthquake, or other natural disasters, war or other military operations, blockades, acts of God, government regulations, and other extraordinary and unavoidable circumstances beyond the Parties' control).
9.2. The Party for whom it becomes impossible to fulfil the obligations undertakes to inform the other Party through written notification of the onset, estimated duration, and cessation of the abovementioned circumstances within five business days from the moment of their onset and cessation.
9.3. The facts set out in the notification should be confirmed by a competent authority or organization of the respective country. The delay or absence of notification by the Party concerned deprives the said Party of the right to cite any of the abovementioned circumstances as grounds for release from responsibility for the failure to fulfil its obligations.
9.4. Should the inability to either completely or partially fulfil obligations last more than three months, the Agreement shall be automatically terminated.
