All parties must observe the said Export Controls.

16. Non-Sanctioned Status

Account Holder hereby acknowledges and agrees that, if at any point during the duration of this Agreement or any Order Form, Account Holder or any Connected Person is identified as, or becomes, an individual, entity, or organization with whom Aonflow is prohibited from dealing in accordance with this section, Account Holder must immediately notify Aonflow in writing of the same. In case the Account Holder fails to do so within a period of thirty (30) days from the date it has been so identified, penal action in accordance with applicable law(s) shall be taken by Aonflow against the said Account Holder. In addition to the same, Aonflow reserves the right to terminate this Agreement and any related Order Form without fault or liability, effective immediately.

Both the sides will make an effort to reduce the impact of the Force Majeure situation. If the event remains for more than thirty (30) days, either side may end the services not completed and the relevant Order Forms in writing.
