Failure

French translation: le défaut

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
English term or phrase:Failure
French translation:le défaut
Entered by: Louise Dupont (X)

English to French translations [Non-PRO]
Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s)
English term or phrase: Failure
Could it be "omission" in this context:

Failure of either party at any time to require the other party’s performance of any obligation under this Agreement shall not affect the right to require performance of this obligation.

I know that "performance of obligation" is "exécution d'une obligation".

Please help me with "la tournure de phrase".
I really need some sleep.
TIA
