Relief Event Clause Samples

A Relief Event clause defines specific circumstances under which a party is excused from performing certain contractual obligations, typically due to events beyond their reasonable control. In practice, this clause may apply to situations such as natural disasters, government actions, or other unforeseen disruptions that prevent timely performance. Its core function is to allocate risk by providing temporary protection from liability or penalties when performance is hindered by extraordinary events, ensuring fairness and clarity in the contract.

Failure to comply with the obligation to mitigate shall be taken into account in determining the party’s entitlement to relief. Force Majeure Force majeure means any of the following events or circumstances, including, but not limited to, the following examples, which directly causes either the City or DB Co to be unable to perform all or a material part of its obligations under the Project Agreement: • war, civil war, armed conflict, terrorism, acts of foreign enemies or hostilities; • nuclear or radioactive contamination, unless DB Co or any DB Co party is the source or cause of the contamination; • chemical or biological contamination; • pressure waves; or • the discovery of any species-at-risk, fossils, artifacts and other objects having artistic, historic, archaeological or monetary value, including human remains and burial sites, which mandate the abandonment of the works.

DB Co will be compensated for a force majeure event resulting in the termination of the Project Agreement in accordance with Schedule 23 – Compensation on Termination.
