The Client shall indemnify Farco against any reasonable costs or expenses that it may incur as a result of any delay to the commencement date of the project or, if in the reasonable opinion of Farco, the Consultancy Services cannot be completed then the Client shall reimburse Farco for all Charges incurred up to the date of cancellation plus a cancellation fee of 25% of the Charges set out in the Statement of Work for the Consultancy Services for the remainder of the unexpired Term.
