Occurrence of a Force Majeure Event Clause Samples

The 'Occurrence of a Force Majeure Event' clause defines the circumstances under which unforeseen events beyond the control of the parties—such as natural disasters, war, or government actions—may impact contractual obligations. When such an event occurs, the affected party is typically excused from performing its duties for the duration of the disruption, provided it notifies the other party and takes reasonable steps to mitigate the effects. This clause serves to allocate risk and provide relief from liability when extraordinary events prevent contract fulfillment, ensuring fairness and clarity in unpredictable situations.
