Force Majeure (show)

Force Majeure refers to unexpected events that prevent parties from fulfilling contractual obligations. These events are typically beyond anyone's control, such as natural disasters, wars, or pandemics. In a legal context, if a force majeure clause is included in a contract, it allows parties to suspend or terminate their responsibilities without liability during such extraordinary circumstances. Essentially, it acknowledges that sometimes, unforeseen events can disrupt plans and that parties may not be penalized for not meeting their obligations due to these uncontrollable situations.
