negligence of the company Heuschen & Schrouff
2. Delays as a result of natural disasters and circumstances beyond
one’s control or other unforeseeable, unusual events, for which Heuschen
& Schrouff is not accountable, do not entitle the purchaser to
cancel the purchase or to require a recovery of damages.
