    9. Force Majeure

    If Aviatours shall be prevented from performing any obligation to the client or from complying with instructions of the client by circumstances outside the reasonable control of Aviatours, it shall be at its option either entitled to comply with those obligations or instructions as and when it is reasonably able to do so or to treat itself wholly or partly released from all obligations so prevented and will not be under liability to the client for any failure to perform those obligations and instructions.
