Seller shall continue performance of any part of this order which is not cancelled.

    (c) Notwithstanding subparagraph 4(b) above, Seller shall not be liable to Buyer for any loss or damage to which Buyer may otherwise be entitled if Seller's default is due to causes both beyond its control and without its negligence, provided Seller has given Buyer immediate written notice of such cause and further provided that such notice is received by Buyer at least prior to the delivery date. Such causes include fire, flood, epidemic, quarantine restriction, strike and the like, provided that in every case the cause is both beyond the control and without the negligence of the Seller.
