Section 13.22 Force Majeure. Neither Party will be liable for any failure or delay in performing all <br />or some of its obligations, as applicable, under this Contract if such failure or delay is due to any <br />cause beyond the reasonable control of such Party, including, but not limited to, extraordinarily <br />severe weather, strikes, natural disasters, fire, civil disturbance, epidemic, war, court order, or acts of <br />God. The existence of any such cause of delay or failure will extend the period of performance in the <br />exercise of reasonable diligence until after the cause of the delay or failure has been removed and, if <br />applicable, for any reasonable period of time thereafter required to resume performance. A Party, <br />within a period of time reasonable under the circumstances, must inform the other by any reasonable <br />method (phone, email, etc.) and, as soon as practicable, must submit written notice with proof of <br />receipt, of the existence of a force majeure event or otherwise waive the right as a defense to non- <br />performance. <br />Section 13.23 Interim Contracts. The Parties agree that the Contract and/or any of its Program <br />Attachments will automatically continue as an "Interim Contract" beyond the expiration date of the <br />term of the Contract or Program Attachment(s), as applicable, under the following circumstances: (1) <br />on or shortly prior to the expiration date of the Contract or Program Attachment, there is a state of <br />disaster declared by the Governor that affects the ability or resources of the DSHS contract or <br />program staff managing the Contract to complete in a timely manner the extension, renewal, or other <br />standard contract process for the Contract or Program Attachment; and (2) DSHS makes the <br />determination in its sole discretion that an Interim Contract is appropriate under the circumstances. <br />DSHS will notify Contractor promptly in writing if such a determination is made. The notice will <br />specify whether DSHS is extending the Contract or Program Attachment for additional time for <br />Contractor to perform or complete the previously contracted goods and services (with no new or <br />additional funding) or is purchasing additional goods and services as described in the Program <br />Attachment for the term of the Interim Contract, or both. The notice will include billing instructions <br />and detailed information on how DSHS will fund the goods or services to be procured during the <br />Interim Contract term. The Interim Contract will terminate thirty (30) days after the disaster <br />declaration is terminated unless the Parties agree to a shorter period of time. <br />ARTICLE XIV BREACH OF CONTRACT AND REMEDIES FOR NON- <br />COMPLIANCE <br />Section 14.01 Actions Constituting Breach of Contract.
