The purpose of the provision is to relieve a party impacted by the force majeure by extending, temporarily suspending or terminating the agreement due to unexpected and unavoidable events such as “acts of God,” including hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, earthquakes, landslides, and wildfires, and certain man-made events like riots, wars, terrorism, explosions, labour strikes, and scarcity of energy supplies. To be classified as a force majeure event, the event must be beyond the control of the contracting parties, it cannot be anticipated, foreseeable, or expected, and the event must be unavoidable (irresistibility).
