by suppliers, freight forwarders, shippers, customs brokers, strikes, accidents, restrictions imposed by the Government, acts of war or any other causes beyond the Company’s
control. Where the Contract provides for delivery by instalments, each instalment shall constitute a separate contract and any failure or defect in any one or more instalments
delivered shall not entitle the Buyer to repudiate the Contract nor to cancel any subsequent instalments. Under no circumstances whatsoever shall the Company be considered
