Форс Мажор

The term **"Форс Мажор"** (transliteration: *fors-mazhor*) is a Russian expression derived from the French *force majeure*, meaning “superior force.” It refers to extraordinary or unforeseen events beyond a party’s control—such as natural disasters, wars, strikes, or government actions—that prevent one or both parties from fulfilling contractual obligations. In legal contexts, a *форс мажор* clause can exempt parties from liability when such events occur.
