Bus/Financial - Law: Contract(s) / Purchase Agreement

English term or phrase: unmitigatable

From a purchase agreement:

"An equitable adjustment will be negotiated and made for changes to the extent **unmitigatable** costs or damages are incurred by the supplier"

This is in connection with cancelled orders. What would be a good word for "unmitigatable" in German?

Thanks!

Explanation:
I don't think the use of "unmitigatable" has anything to commend it, when all it means here is "unavoidable": wie ich nach verständlichem Englisch nachweine....
