b) that the event could not reasonably have been foreseen at the time of the conclusion of the contract, and
c) that the effects of the impediment could not reasonably have been avoided or overcome by the Affected Party.
8.2 When a party fails to perform one or more of its contractual obligations due to the non-fulfillment of a third party, appointed by the party to execute the contract in whole or in part, the contracting party may invoke Force Majeure only to the extent that the requirements of referred to in paragraph 1 are satisfied for both the party and the third party.

The other party may suspend the performance of its obligations, if applicable, from the date of the notice.
If the effect of the impediment or event invoked is temporary, the above consequences shall apply only as long as the impediment invoked impedes performance by the Affected party. The Affected Party must notify the other party as soon as the impediment ceases to prevent the performance of its contractual obligations.
The Affected Party is required to take all reasonable measures to limit the effects of the invoked event on the performance of its contractual obligations.
8.6 If the duration of the impediment invoked has the effect of substantially depriving one or both contracting parties of what they were reasonably entitled to expect under the contract, each party has the right to terminate the contract by notification within a reasonable period to the other party.
