Give Notice, If Necessary. Many clauses require the parties to give notice of a force majeure declaration a specific number of days before the event or within a certain time frame once the event is triggered. Make sure you're following terms and promptly give notice.
The Limits of Force Majeure There are at least two principles that commonly limit the application of a force majeure clause: if the event (1) made performance impractical and (2) was the cause of a party's nonperformance.
Because the concept is foreign, lawyers who review or draft contracts governed by U.S. law should start with the assumptions that 1) principles of force majeure will not be implied in a contract that does not expressly provide for them, and 2) U.S. courts will interpret and apply force majeure provisions narrowly.
If a contract is silent on force majeure or if the event does not meet the definition of force majeure under the parties' contract, a party's performance may still be excused in certain circumstances under the doctrine of commercial impracticability.
A Standard Clause for use in commercial real estate agreements that permits the parties to allocate the risk of certain events beyond the control of the parties (known as force majeure events), such as acts of God, natural disasters, epidemics, pandemics, government acts, and labor strikes.
The Force Majeure clause should clearly identify the obligations that will be excused in the event of a Force Majeure event. The clause may specify that all obligations will be excused or only certain obligations, depending on the nature of the contract and the parties' preferences.
Either Party shall be excused from performance and shall not be in default in respect of any obligation hereunder to the extent that the failure to perform such obligation is due to a Natural Force Majeure Event.
