A Checklist of legal issues companies should consider when drafting and negotiating force majeure clauses in a sale of goods agreement. The checklist includes issues to consider when determining contract obligations that may be affected by force majeure events, determining force majeure events that may affect contract performance, deciding whether to include a force majeure clause, negotiating a force majeure clause (including unrestricted versus finite lists of enumerated force majeure events, catch-all language, acts of God, notice requirements, mitigation requirements, and remedies), determining the interplay between the contract's force majeure clause and the contract's other clauses, and determining the insurance ramifications of force majeure.
