He may so allocate in any manner which is fair and reasonable.\n(c) The seller must notify the buyer seasonably that there will be delay or nondelivery and, when allocation is required under paragraph (b), of the estimated quota thus made available for the buyer.\n(d) The buyer must notify the seller seasonably that there will be a delay or total inability to take delivery, and where practicable, state the contingency which has occurred causing such delay or inability.","path":["Title 75.
