POTENTIAL FOR TECHNICAL FAILURE Clause Samples

The "Potential for Technical Failure" clause defines the parties' acknowledgment that technical issues or malfunctions may occur during the performance of the contract. This clause typically applies to services or products that rely on technology, such as software platforms, online services, or electronic equipment, and may outline the types of failures covered, the responsibilities of each party in the event of a failure, and any limitations on liability. Its core function is to allocate risk and set expectations regarding the possibility of technical disruptions, thereby protecting parties from unforeseen liabilities and clarifying procedures for addressing such failures.
POTENTIAL FOR TECHNICAL FAILURE. Our services are dependent on our own and other companies' ability to successfully integrate technologies and equipment. In connecting with other companies' equipment we take the risk of not being able to provide service due to their error. In addition, there is the risk that our equipment may malfunction or that we could make an error which negatively affects our customers' service. We are also dependent on the protection of our hardware and other equipment from damage from natural disasters such as fires, floods, hurricanes and earthquakes, other catastrophic events such as civil unrest, terrorism and war and other sources of power loss and telecommunications failures. We have taken a number of steps to prevent our service from being affected by natural disasters, fire and the like. We have built redundant systems for power supply to our equipment. Even though, there can be no assurance that any such systems will prevent the switches from becoming disabled in the event of an earthquake, power outage or otherwise. The failure of our network, or a significant decrease in telephone traffic resulting from effects of a natural or man-made disaster, could have a material adverse effect on our relationship with our customers and our business, operating results and financial condition.
