disagree  ArcTeryx: Ordet kanske kan översättas så... men innehållet är inte en LoL-clause. Jag tror det är en amatörjurist som skrivit ursprungstexten.

Force majeure


Explanation:
Force majeure är inte den korrekta översättningen, men när jag läser avtalstexten så ser jag att det är en force-majeure-klausul.

Exempel:
Force Majeure
A party shall be discharged from liability with respect to contractual
obligations to the other party the performance of which is impeded by labour conflicts or is rendered impossible by unforeseen circumstances beyond the party's control, such as decisions by public authorities, war, or circumstances arising therefrom, internal riots, sabotage, acts of God, fire or other similar circumstances.
