(b) epidemic, pandemic, outbreak of infectious disease, public-health emergency, or any quarantine, lockdown, movement-control, safe-distancing or similar measure or restriction imposed by any government or authority (including any recurrence or continuation of, or measure relating to, COVID-19);
(c) war, invasion, act of foreign enemies, hostilities (whether war be declared or not), civil war, rebellion, revolution, insurrection, military or usurped power, terrorism, sabotage, riot, civil commotion or disorder;

(e) strikes, lock-outs, industrial or labour disputes, or shortage of labour (in each case whether or not involving Midea’s workforce);
(f) failure, interruption, unavailability or shortage of utilities, power, water, chilled-water supply, telecommunications, internet or transport;
(g) any failure, delay, interruption or unavailability of the Centralised Cooling System or of the supply of chilled water by Keppel, or any act or omission of Keppel, HDB, or any installer, contractor, supplier or sub-contractor;

17.2 Suspension of obligations. If Midea is prevented, hindered or delayed from performing any of its obligations under this Agreement by a Force Majeure Event, Midea shall not be in breach of this Agreement and shall not be liable to the Customer for any failure or delay in performing such obligations for so long as the Force Majeure Event continues. The time for performance of the affected obligations shall be extended accordingly, and the Servicing Term, the Warranty Period and/or the timing of any Servicing Session or works shall be extended or rescheduled correspondingly, in each case without any liability to Midea.
17.3 Notice and mitigation. Midea shall use reasonable endeavours to notify the Customer of the Force Majeure Event and to mitigate its effects, and shall resume performance of the affected obligations as soon as reasonably practicable after the Force Majeure Event ceases. Midea shall not be required to incur unreasonable expenditure, to procure alternative resources at additional cost, or to settle any strike, lock-out or industrial dispute.
17.4 No liability; no refund for suspension. Midea shall have no liability to the Customer for any loss, damage, cost or inconvenience of any kind arising out of or in connection with any Force Majeure Event, and the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event shall not of itself entitle the Customer to terminate this Agreement or to any refund, save as expressly provided in the following Clause.
17.5 Prolonged Force Majeure. If a Force Majeure Event continues for a continuous period of more than ninety (90) days, either party may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the other, in which case Midea shall (where the Customer has prepaid for an Extended Warranty Package) refund a fair and reasonable pro-rata portion of the Fees paid in respect of the unused and unexpired portion of the Servicing Term, and neither party shall have any further liability to the other save for any right or liability accrued prior to termination.
17.6 General. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Clause relieves the Customer of any obligation to pay any Fees that have already accrued, and a Force Majeure Event that causes damage to or failure of the FCU may also constitute a voiding condition under the Clause headed ‘FCU Warranty: Scope, Exclusion of Workmanship and Voiding Conditions’.
Section 18. Miscellaneous
18.1 The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not in any way affect or impair any other provision of this Agreement and this Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
