party claiming relief, and which by the reasonable exercise of due diligence such claiming Party is unable to prevent or overcome. Force Majeure, includes, but is not limited to, Acts of God, fires, floods, explosions, electrical storms, windstorms,

covenants, provisions, conditions, restrictions or stipulations contained in this Agreement shall take effect or be binding on Buyer or Seller unless the waiver is reduced to writing and executed by such Party, and any such waiver shall be deemed to
extend only to the particular breach waived and shall not limit or otherwise affect any rights that Buyer or Seller may have with respect to any other or future breach. 
 15.6 Limitation of Liabilities. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, neither Party shall be liable to the other Party for any punitive, special, incidental or consequential damages based upon
breach of any warranty or of contract, negligence or any other theory of legal liability arising under or out of this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that the direct damages incurred by Buyer under this Agreement in the event Seller fails to
