Force Majeure Exemples de clauses

A contractual provision excusing performance when extraordinary events beyond the parties' control prevent fulfillment of obligations.

19 exemplesSource : SEC EDGAR

Force Majeure Clause Overview

A force majeure clause excuses a party from performing its obligations, often temporarily, sometimes permanently, when an extraordinary event outside its control, such as a natural disaster, war, or government action, makes performance impossible or impracticable.

It's included so that parties aren't held liable for breach when genuinely unforeseeable, uncontrollable events prevent performance, allocating that risk explicitly rather than leaving it to be argued after the fact.

Check exactly what events are listed. A narrow, specific list versus broad general language make a real difference in what's actually covered. Also check whether the affected party must give notice and try to mitigate the impact, and what happens if the disruption continues for an extended period, since some clauses allow termination if it does.

Foire aux questions

Qu'est-ce que la clause de Force Majeure ?
A contractual provision excusing performance when extraordinary events beyond the parties' control prevent fulfillment of obligations.
Quand un contrat inclurait-il la clause de Force Majeure ?
En général, les parties ajoutent une clause comme celle-ci lorsque la question sous-jacente est suffisamment importante pour qu'elles souhaitent que l'accord lui-même énonce une position claire et négociée, plutôt que de la laisser à l'interprétation, à la coutume de l'industrie ou à toute autre règle par défaut qui s'appliquerait autrement. La spécificité de la formulation reflète généralement l'importance de ce point lors de la négociation.
À quoi dois-je faire attention lors de l'examen de la clause de Force Majeure ?
La formulation de ce type de clause varie beaucoup d'un contrat à l'autre ; la portée, les conditions de déclenchement, les exceptions et les termes définis connexes sont souvent lourdement négociés. Lorsque vous en examinez une, comparez-la à vos propres priorités plutôt que de supposer qu'une version standard ou « du marché » s'applique, et vérifiez comment elle interagit avec les autres clauses du même accord.
Cette clause est-elle légalement requise, et puis-je simplement copier un exemple dans mon contrat ?
La nécessité d'une clause comme celle-ci, et la manière exacte dont elle doit être formulée, dépendent du contrat, de l'industrie et des lois applicables à cet accord spécifique. Les exemples sur cette page sont fournis à des fins d'éducation générale et de référence, et non de conseils juridiques. Par conséquent, pour un contrat que vous avez l'intention de signer, faites examiner la formulation spécifique par un avocat qualifié.
