The term force majeure shall not apply to those events which merely make it more difficult or costly for Seller or PPC to perform their obligations hereunder in the ordinary course conduct of their respective operations. PPC and Seller further agree that at the conclusion of any force majeure event, neither PPC nor Seller shall have any obligation to each other with respect to any quantities of Product not delivered as a consequence of such force majeure event.

Waiver: The delay or failure of any Party to enforce any of its rights under this Agreement arising from any default or breach by the other Party shall not constitute a waiver of any such default, breach, or any of the Party’s rights relating thereto. No custom or practice which may arise between the Parties in the course of operating under this Agreement will be construed to waive any Parties’ rights to either ensure the other Party’s strict performance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or to exercise any rights granted to it as a result of any breach or default under this Agreement.
