Section 72.6150 - Excuse by failure of presupposed conditions.


(1) Delay in delivery or nondelivery in whole or in part by a seller who complies with subsections (2) and (3) of this section is not a breach of duty under a contract for sale if performance as agreed has been made impracticable by the occurrence of a contingency the nonoccurrence of which was a basic assumption on which the contract was made or by compliance in good faith with any applicable foreign or domestic governmental regulation or order whether or not it later proves to be invalid.
(2) Where the causes mentioned in subsection (1) of this section affect only a part of the seller’s capacity to perform, the seller must allocate production and deliveries among customers but may at the option of the seller include regular customers not then under contract as well as the requirements of the seller for further manufacture. The seller may so allocate in any manner which is fair and reasonable.
(3) The seller must notify the buyer seasonably that there will be delay or nondelivery and, when allocation is required under subsection (2) of this section, of the estimated quota thus made available for the buyer. [1961 c.726 §72.6150]
