Guam § 82301 - What Excuses Performance.

§ 82301. What Excuses Performance.

The want of performance of an obligation, or an offer of performance,

in whole or in part, or any delay therein, is excused by the following causes,

to the extent to which they operate:

1. When such performance or offer is prevented or delayed by the

act of the creditor, or by the operation of law, even though there may

have been a stipulation that this shall not be an excuse;

2. When it is prevented or delayed by an irresistible, superhuman

cause, or by the act of public enemies of the United States, unless the

parties have expressly agreed to the contrary; or

3. When the debtor is induced not to make it, by any act of the

creditor intended or naturally tending to have that effect, done at or

before the time at which such performance or offer may be made and

not rescinded before that time.
