The exclusive venue for any arbitration, judicial enforcement of arbitration awards, or any other proceedings arising under this Agreement shall be in Honolulu, Hawaii. FORCE MAJEURE TWD shall not be liable for any delay in performance or failure to perform any obligation under these Terms if such delay or failure results from causes beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, natural disasters, epidemics, pandemics, governmental actions, labor disputes, internet or telecommunications failures, utility interruptions, cyberattacks, supplier or vendor failures, transportation disruptions, war, terrorism, civil unrest, or any other event or circumstance beyond TWD's reasonable control.
