-
FORCE MAJEURE. Company shall not be held liable for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under the Terms due to causes or conditions beyond its reasonable control.

Miscellaneous: You represent and warrant to us that you have the necessary rights, power, and authority to agree to these Terms and fulfill your obligations under them.
