The affected party shall promptly notify the other party of the occurrence of such event when commercially reasonable. Subject to this provision, such delay or failure in performance shall not constitute a breach or default under this term of service, and the affected party’s obligations shall be extended for a period equivalent to the duration of the Force Majeure event, but in no event longer than thirty (30) calendar days.
