  14. Relationship of the Parties
    The parties to this Agreement are independent contractors and nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or shall be deemed to, create a joint venture, partnership, agency or employment relationship, franchise, or business opportunity between the parties. Neither party, by virtue of this Agreement, has any right, power, or authority to act or create an obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the other party. Each party assumes responsibility for the actions of their personnel under this Agreement and is solely responsible for their supervision, daily direction, and control, wage rates, withholding income taxes, disability benefits, or the manner and means through which the work under this Agreement is to be accomplished. 
  15. Force Majeure
    Neither party shall be liable or responsible to the other party, nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement (except for any obligations to make payments to the other party hereunder), when and to the extent the failure or delay is caused by or results from acts beyond the impacted party's ("Impacted Party") reasonable control, including, without limitation, the following force majeure events ("Force Majeure Event(s)"): (a) acts of God; (b) flood, fire, earthquake, other potential disaster(s) or catastrophe(s), such as epidemics and pandemics, or explosion; (c) war, invasion, hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riot, or other civil unrest; (d) disruption in telecommunication or digital transmission links and internet slowdowns or outages; (e) action by any governmental authority or requirements of law; (f) embargoes or blockades in effect on or after the date of this Agreement; and (g) national or regional emergency; and (h) other similar events beyond the reasonable control of the Impacted Party.

The Impacted Party shall use diligent efforts to end the failure or delay and ensure the effects of the Force Majeure Event are minimized. The Impacted Party shall resume the performance of its obligations as soon as reasonably practicable after the removal of the cause. In the event that the Impacted Party's failure or delay remains uncured for a period of ninety (90) days following notice given by it under this Article 14, the other party may thereafter terminate this Agreement on five (5) days' written notice.
  16. Specific Performance
    The parties acknowledge that, in view of the uniqueness of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, a party may not have an adequate remedy at law for money damages in the event that this Agreement has not been performed in accordance with its terms, and, therefore, agrees that the other party shall be entitled to seek specific enforcement of the terms hereof in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled at Law or in equity. The parties hereby agree not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by any party and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of each party under this Agreement.
