Force Majeure
Force majeure is a contract clause that frees both parties from obligation when an extraordinary event beyond their control prevents performance.
How It Works in Contracts
Force majeure covers events such as natural disasters, wars, pandemics, and government actions. When triggered, the affected party is excused from performing without breach.
Examples
- A pandemic forces factory closures, preventing supplier fulfillment
- A hurricane destroys a venue, making event delivery impossible
- Government sanctions prohibit exports
