Force Majeure
copyright 1997 Donald M. Cameron , Aird & Berlis
A "Force Majeure" is some event beyond the control of the parties to the contract which either delays or renders compliance with the agreement impossible. The Force Majeure clause either temporarily or permanently removes a party's obligation to comply with the agreement.
In the case of a long delay by the supplier of a product, the Customer should have the right to terminate the Agreement and obtain the desired product from another supplier.
