Force Majeure/Pandemic Sample Clauses
A Force Majeure/Pandemic clause defines the circumstances under which parties are excused from fulfilling contractual obligations due to extraordinary events beyond their control, such as natural disasters, government actions, or pandemics. This clause typically outlines what qualifies as a force majeure event, the procedures for notifying the other party, and the effects on performance timelines or obligations. Its core function is to allocate risk and provide relief from liability when unforeseen events make contract performance impossible or impracticable, thereby ensuring fairness and clarity in unpredictable situations.
