10. Force Majeure Circumstances
10.1. The parties shall not be held liable for failure to perform or improper performance of their obligations under this offer if such failure results from force majeure circumstances, that is, events which the party could not foresee, prevent, or control, even if all reasonable and necessary measures were taken.

The release of either party from liability due to the occurrence of a force majeure event does not exempt that party from liability for failure to perform or improper performance of other obligations that could have been fulfilled and were not affected by the aforementioned circumstances.
10.5. If force majeure circumstances affecting either party persist continuously for more than sixty calendar days and significantly hinder the fulfillment of material obligations under this offer, either party has the right to unilaterally terminate the agreement by notifying the other party through the agreed communication channel at least seven calendar days prior to the intended termination date. In such case, the parties shall make mutual settlements for services actually provided and obligations fulfilled as of the termination date, in accordance with the provisions of this offer and the applicable laws of Finland and the European Union.
