– Force majeure or events such as social strife, epidemic, war, requisition, fire, flood, tooling accidents, significant scrapping of parts during manufacture, interruption or delays in transport, or any cause leading to a partial or total work stoppage at OREGON SYSTEMS or their suppliers. The possible prohibition on exports pronounced by the government of the country of origin of the hardware is considered, among other things, as a case of force majeure.
In any case, the time for obtaining administrative permits and carrying out formalities is added to the delivery time communicated to the customer.

VI – RETURN OF GOODS:

Deliveries and orders in progress may be suspended, including any outstanding Statements of Work. The sale will only be completed and title transferred on full and final settlement of the invoices.

Should OREGON SYSTEMS be forced to demand payment of invoices, even if simply by registered letter, a liquidated damages sum fixed at 10% of the amount of the debt shall be due by the customer, starting from the due date of the invoice, taking into account the costs and time incurred by OREGON SYSTEMS in demanding payment.
