17. Force Majeure.

If such circumstance occurs, the party affected shall notify the other of the nature and impact of the force majeure on the parties, and shall resume performance as soon as possible, and the time for performance of the various terms of this Agreement shall be extended by an amount of time equal to the delay caused by the force majeure.
