Long Term Force Majeure Limit Clause Samples

The Long Term Force Majeure Limit clause sets a maximum duration for which a party can be excused from performing its contractual obligations due to force majeure events, such as natural disasters or government actions. Typically, if the force majeure event continues beyond a specified period—often 60, 90, or 180 days—either party may have the right to terminate the contract without penalty. This clause ensures that neither party is indefinitely bound to a contract that cannot be performed due to prolonged unforeseen circumstances, thereby providing a clear exit mechanism and managing risk for both sides.
