  (b)   Each party is free to enter into similar agreements with others.

However, the personnel providing direct support for MMTL customers (IBM Agents, Team Leaders and Managers) can not be deployed to MMTL’s direct competitor ( travel portals operating in India) account for a period of 9 months from the day they are taken off from MMTL process. Such restriction shall not apply on IBM in case such personnel are used for providing services to or transferred within the Enterprise, to MMTL’s Affiliates or to MakeMyTrip.com Inc.

22.   Force Majeure
  (a)   Neither Party will be liable for any default or delay in the performance of their respective obligations, to the extent that such default or delay:
  (i)   is caused, directly or indirectly, by an event beyond the reasonable control of IBM or MMTL, whichever is the entity unable to perform (the Nonperforming Party), such as (without limitation) fire, flood, earthquake, elements of nature, acts of war, terrorism, riots, civil disorders, rebellions or revolutions, strikes, lockouts or labor difficulties; and

  (ii)   could not have been prevented by commercially reasonable precautions, alternative sources, workaround plans, or other means,
      (collectively a “Force Majeure Event”).
 
  (b)   The Nonperforming Party will be excused from any further performance of its obligations affected by such Force Majeure Event for as long as such Force Majeure Event continues and the Nonperforming Party continues to use commercially reasonable efforts to recommence performance. The Nonperforming Party will immediately notify the other under this Agreement by telephone (to be confirmed in writing within five days of the inception of such default or delay) and describe at a reasonable level of detail the circumstances causing such Force Majeure Event. If a Force Majeure Event substantially prevents, hinders, or delays IBM’s performance of the Services necessary for the operation of functions which are critical to the operation of MMTL’s business, if any, for more than 30 consecutive days, then MMTL may either:
  (i)   procure such Services from an alternate provider until IBM is able to provide the Services. Subject to Section 22(c) below, IBM will reimburse MMTL for any reasonable payments to such alternate provider for such Services, for the lesser of 180 days or the remainder of the Term; or
 
  (ii)   terminate the affected Services by providing IBM with a written notice of termination and paying IBM for any unrecovered start-up costs, anticipated profit prorated to the date of termination, and any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses associated with ramp-down costs.
  (c)   During the Force Majeure Event, MMTL will continue to pay IBM’s charges for the Services.

Nothing in this Agreement affects any statutory rights of consumers that cannot be waived or limited by contract. The exercise or waiver, in whole or in part, of any right, remedy, or duty provided for in this Agreement will not constitute the waiver of any prior, concurrent or subsequent right, remedy, or duty within this Agreement.
