  16. Cancellation/Delay.
    • No Cancellations or Delays by Buyer. Buyer may not cancel, delay, reschedule or otherwise vary the terms of any delivery of Parts or performance of Services without Rapiscan’s written consent.  Such consent may be granted or withheld in Rapiscan’s sole discretion.  Such consent may be conditioned by Rapiscan on, among other things, prompt payment by Buyer to Rapiscan for direct or indirect amounts arising under or related to the cancellation, delay, rescheduling or other variation.
    • Excusable Delay. Rapiscan shall not be responsible for any delay or non-performance of its obligations hereunder to the extent and for such periods of time as such delay or non-performance, defective performance or late performance is due to causes beyond its control.  Excusable delays include, but are not limited to, acts of God, war, acts of any government in either its sovereign or contractual capacity, fire, explosions, sabotage, the elements, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, lockout, embargoes, unusually severe weather, delays in transportation, airline schedule, fuel shortages, or delays of suppliers or subcontractors for like causes.

Rapiscan’s pricing reflects this allocation of risk and the limitation of liability specified herein.
  19. No Indirect or Consequential Damages. RAPISCAN SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH this AGREEMENT OR DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, BUSINESS, SAVINGS, DATA, USE OR COST OF SUBSTITUTE PROCUREMENT, INCURRED BY BUYER OR ANY THIRD PARTY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF RAPISCAN HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR IF SUCH DAMAGES ARE FORESEEABLE.
  20. Reciprocal Waiver of Claims. As the Parts and/or Services may be deployed in defense against or to assist in the detection of an Act of Terrorism (as such term is defined under the Support Anti-terrorism by Fostering Effective Technologies Act of 2002) before it occurs, Rapiscan and Buyer each agree to waive all claims against the other (including those of or against their officers, directors, employees, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, subcontractors or other representatives) for losses, including business operation losses, resulting from or related to such Act of Terrorism.
