Part 14 - Liquidated Damages
1. | If the Contractor fails to deliver within the time specified in any purchase order, he shall pay NAMSA liquidated damages at the rate of 1 % for each full week of such delay but not more than a total of 10 % of the total price of the materiel not delivered on time. |
2. | Without prejudice to the final decision regarding the liquidated damages, NAMSA shall be entitled to deduct imposed liquidated damages when payment is made to the Contractor, even in the event that claims deriving from submitted debits have been assigned or otherwise transferred to third parties. The total of the deductions made by NAMSA pursuant to this Part will be considered as full and final satisfaction of all claims received out of late delivery of any item. |
3. | During a period of one year after delivery and acceptance of the items, NAMSA shall have the right to claim liquidated damages even if such right is not reserved at the time when delivery is accepted. |
4. | The liquidated damages will not apply if the Contractor’s failure to perform is due to causes beyond his control and without his fault or negligence. |
5. | Such causes may include but are not limited to: Acts of God or of the public enemy, acts of Government in its sovereign or contractual capacity, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, unusually severe weather and failure of subcontractors to perform due to such causes. |
