In any event, if any shipment shall be delayed three or more months because of any of the aforesaid causes, either party shall have the right by written notice to the other to cancel that shipment, and the balance, if any, of this contract, and, in such event, neither party shall be liable to the other for any losses or damages arising out of such cancellation.  In the event of inability to supply the total demands for the Goods in this order, Seller may allocate its available supply among any or all purchasers on such basis as it may deem fair and practical without liability for any failure of performance which may result therefrom.
  6. Additions to Price: In addition to the prices quoted, all applicable county, state or federal taxes or other taxes or duties shall be paid and borne by Buyer, and Buyer shall reimburse the Seller in the event that the Seller is required to pay the same by any taxing authority.  Where Buyer requires tests or inspection not regularly provided by Seller, Seller will charge Buyer for the actual costs for such tests or inspections unless otherwise specified.
