Force majeure

Force majeure is a force against which you cannot act. Every contract has a force majeure clause. It usually includes natural disasters such as an earthquake, flood, lice, etc. It can also list such contingencies as war, embargo, and sanctions. Along with this there are some other circumstances beyond the Seller's control. The Seller may find himself in a situation when he can't fulfil his obligation under the Contract. It may happen if there is a general strike in the country, a strike of coal-miners, transport workers, etc. Production may be suspended if there is a shortage of the energy supply. When negotiating a Contract a list of contingencies must be agreed on and put into the Contract.

When a manager makes up a contract he must not think only of his one-sided interest. He must think in terms of common interest with his counterpart. Only then will he prove loyal to his partner.
