If the Amendment or New Regulation is more favorable to any Party than any applicable law, regulation, ordinance or other normative document then in force on the effective date of this Agreement (and the other Party will not thus be imposed any material adverse effect), then the Parties shall timely apply to relevant authority (if necessary) for obtaining the benefits of such Amendment or New Regulation.

15. 不可抗力
Force Majeure
15.1 “不可抗力事件”是指任何超出缔约方合理控制范围的事件，并且不能通过受影响方的合理注意义务来防止，包括但不限于自然灾害，战争和暴动，但欠缺债信，资本或资金不视为超出一方合理控制范围。 如果发生不可抗力事件延迟或妨碍履行本协议，受影响的一方对此类延迟或无法履行的义务不承担责任。 寻求免除本协议履约义务或本协议任何条款规定的受影响方应立即通知他方被免除的义务和完成履行应采取的措施。
A “Force Majeure Event” refers to any event that is beyond the reasonable control of a Party and cannot be prevented with reasonable care of the affected Party, including but not limited to natural disasters, war and riot. However, any shortage of credit, capital or finance shall not be regarded as an event beyond the reasonable control of a Party. In the event that the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event delays or prevents the performance of this Agreement, the affected Party shall not be liable for any obligations hereunder only for such delayed or prevented performance. The affected Party who seeks to be exempt from the performance obligation under this Agreement or any provision hereof shall inform the other Party, without delay, of the exemption of obligation and the approaches that shall be taken to complete performance.
15.2 只有当协议受影响方已尽一切合理努力履行本协议时，寻求豁免义务的一方始可免除履行被延迟或被阻碍的义务，而不承担任何责任。 一旦此类责任免除的原因被纠正或修补，各方同意尽最大努力恢复履行本协议。
The Party affected by Force Majeure Event shall not assume any liability hereunder, provided that only when the affected Party has made all reasonable efforts to perform this Agreement, the Party who seeks exemption of obligation may be exempted from performing such obligation and only to the extent of the delayed or impeded performance. Once the cause for such exemption of liability is corrected and remedied, each Party agrees to use his or its best efforts to resume the performance of this Agreement.
