9.2 Without prejudice to the other rights it has, NJON has in the case of a force majeure the right to suspend or terminate the ordering process of the Visitor, without any legal intervention, by informing the Visitor of this in writing without NJON being obliged to compensate any damages, unless this is deemed unacceptable under the given circumstances and according to the standards of reasonableness and fairness.
