prevented from making, or delivering the goods, due to strikes, lockouts, war,
fire, accident, shortage of materials or fuel, or any other cause whatsoever

order, if it should come to notice that the goods in question are the subject of
any patent or registered design, not owned by the buyer, in which case, the

discretion) and the seller shall be entitled to recover and be paid such sums
