The Client shall either accept the additional freight costs or exercise termination rights under Section 14.6. In no case shall increased freight costs due to Force Majeure-driven rerouting be borne by the Contractor. 14.8 Client Delays and Documentation Obligations Any increase in freight costs, surcharges, or demurrage charges arising from delays caused by the Client’s actions, failure to provide necessary import documentation (customs declarations, permits, etc.), or delays in providing Site readiness shall be borne entirely by the Client.
