20. General Provisions

Lack of finances or a mere failure to have adequate and suitable equipment, material, labor forces, or other facilities available to perform shall not constitute a Force Majeure Event. 

Any party experiencing a Force Majeure Event shall give as prompt notice as is possible under the circumstances. In the case of such Force Majeure Event, the time for the performance required by a party under this Agreement will be extended by the length of any period during which performance is prevented by the Force Majeure Event.

If any provision of this Agreement is held by a competent court to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, then such provision shall be severed from this Agreement and the remainder of this Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so severed and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms; provided, however, that in such event this Agreement shall be interpreted so as to give effect, to the greatest extent consistent with and permitted by applicable law, to the meaning and intention of the severed provision as determined by the Parties or as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

20.7 Waiver. No delay or omission by either party to exercise any right or power it has under this Agreement shall impair or be construed as a waiver of such right or power.

With respect to Support Services and Incident management, the Customer will, to the extent that the same may be within its reasonable control, be responsible for: (a) reporting errors promptly; (b) providing sufficient information for CodeisCode to duplicate the error, assess the situation, and undertake any needed or appropriate corrective action; (c) otherwise following instructions or suggestions from CodeisCode regarding use, maintenance, upgrades, repairs, workarounds, or other related matters; and (d) designating two (2) members of its staff to serve as the Customer’s system administrators to contact CodeisCode with support issues.
