Neither party shall be deemed in default or otherwise liable for any delay in or failure of its performance under this Agreement (other than payment obligations) by reason of any act of God, fire, natural disaster, accident, act of government, shortage of materials or supplies, failure of transportation or communication or of suppliers of goods or services, or any other cause to the extent it is beyond the reasonable control of such party.

21.5  Failure to Exercise Rights

21.6  Election of Remedies

All rights and remedies, whether evidenced hereby, by law or in equity shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently unless otherwise stated herein. Failure of either party to enforce any provision hereof shall not prevent enforcement on any other occasion.

Any terms or conditions appearing on the face or reverse side of any Purchase Order, acknowledgment, or confirmation that are different from or inconsistent with those set forth in this Agreement shall not be binding on the parties, even if signed and returned, unless expressly stated that such other terms and conditions take precedence over conflicting terms of this Agreement.
