Force majeure (French, pronounced: [fɔʁs maʒœʁ][1]) or vis major (Latin) "superior force", also known as cas fortuit (French) or casus fortuitus (Latin) "chance occurrence, unavoidable accident",[2] is a common clause in contracts that essentially frees both parties from liability or obligation when an extraordinary event or circumstance beyond the control of the parties, such as a war, strike, riot, crime, or an event described by the legal term act of God (such as hurricane, flooding, earthquake, volcanic eruption, etc.), prevents one or both parties from fulfilling their obligations under the contract. In practice, most force majeure clauses do not excuse a party's nonperformance entirely, but only suspend it for the duration of the force majeure. [3][4]
However, force majeure is not intended to excuse negligence or other malfeasance of a party, as where non-performance is caused by the usual and natural consequences of external forces (for example, predicted rain stops an outdoor event), or where the intervening circumstances are specifically contemplated.

不可抗力〈Force Majeure〉是法律術語，一項免責條款，解作一種人們不能預見、不可避免、不能克服的自然、社會現象客觀情況。自然現象包括但不限於天災人禍如地震、颱風、洪水和海嘯；社會現象則包括但不限於戰爭、市政工程建設和其它政府政策。 在很多情況中，合約中也會列明如因不可抗力的發生而阻礙賣方的交貨義務或履行合約，違約方可部分或者全部免除違約責任。
