Liquidated damages clauses are used when it is difficult to determine the extent of damages that would result from a breach of the contract. Therefore, in the contract (or here, purchase order), the parties agree before hand the exact amount one party would owe the other party if the contract is breached. That way, the parties do not have to fight over the extent of the damages because they "agreed" up front what damages would be necessary to "make the non-breaching party whole" in the event one party breaks the contract.

The judgment in Temloc v Erril confirmed that where "Nil" is entered as the value of a liquidated damages clause this will be the only remedy available to the employer where works are not completed on time, i.e. he will be entitled to £0 in liquidated damages and will also be unable to claim unliquated damages at common law for breach of contract. Where an employer does not want to use the liquidated damages clause but wishes to keep available his remedy at common law the liquidated damages clause should be deleted.

What is the difference between the liquidated damages and the delay penalty?
Liquidated damages as used in the construction industry are damages (monetary) to the owner of the building charged to the builder for delay in completion of the structure in the alloted time. The opposite of this is the delay clause, which is where the contractor would claim damages against the owner or architect for delaying the construction process by not processing paperwork in a timely manner, or by not answering questions in a timely manner, or by failing to process change order requests. The Acheley (sp) Formula is used for calculation of the damages due, based on a complicated formula which includes variables such as monthly volume, projected profits, length of delay and other items. I believe the current AIA documents have excluded this by inserting a No Damage for Delay clause.
