Force Majeure, Exclusions of Liability and Indemnity Clause Samples

This clause defines the circumstances under which a party is excused from liability due to events beyond their control (force majeure), limits the types or extent of liabilities each party may face, and sets out obligations for one party to compensate the other for certain losses (indemnity). In practice, it typically lists specific events like natural disasters, war, or government actions that trigger force majeure, outlines exclusions such as indirect or consequential damages, and details when and how indemnification applies. The core function of this clause is to allocate risk between the parties, ensuring that neither is unfairly penalized for unforeseeable events and clarifying financial responsibilities in case of loss or damage.
