Force Majeure

A clause excusing performance after extraordinary events.

A force-majeure clause frees a party from obligations when something beyond their control — natural disaster, war, pandemic — makes performance impossible. What counts depends entirely on the wording. Narrow clauses list specific events; broad ones add “or other causes beyond reasonable control.”

In practice

“Neither party is liable for delays caused by acts of God, government order, or pandemic.”
