Effect of Force Majeure Events Clause Samples

The "Effect of Force Majeure Events" clause defines how contractual obligations are impacted when unforeseen events beyond the control of the parties occur. Typically, this clause specifies that if a force majeure event—such as natural disasters, war, or government actions—prevents a party from fulfilling its duties, that party may be temporarily excused from performance without penalty. Its core function is to allocate risk and provide relief from liability when extraordinary circumstances make contract performance impossible or impractical.

"Force Majeure Event" means any event or occurrence beyond the reasonable control of a Party which causes such Party to be unable to perform its obligations hereunder (other than obligations to pay money), but only if and to the extent that (i) such circumstance or event or combination of events or circumstances, despite the exercise of reasonable diligence and care, cannot be or be caused to be prevented, avoided or removed by such Party; (ii) such circumstance or event is not the result of the failure of such Party to perform any of its obligations under this Lease; and (iii) such Party has given the other Party prompt notice of such circumstance or event in accordance with Section 16.3.

Effect of Force Majeure Events. 14.3.1 The Affected Party shall not be held accountable for breaches of any obligations under this Agreement as long as such breaches are due to a Force Majeure Event. 14.3.2 The Affected Party shall be exempted from fulfilment of its obligations, which has been made impossible as a result of a Force Majeure Event, for a period until those circumstances cease to exist.

The Parties shall take all the necessary actions to eliminate and/or minimize the consequences of Force Majeure Events. 14.3.4 The Affected Party shall be entitled to an extension of the period for fulfillment of any obligation by a period of time equivalent to that during which this Affected Party was unable to fulfil the respective obligation due to the Force Majeure Event, with the exception of cases of performance of payment obligations provided in Clause 14.
