How to distinguish force majeure from bad weather conditions

Force majeure and bad weather conditions can be divided into unpredictable, insurmountable and inevitable.

Force majeure not only includes the inevitable losses caused by natural disasters (such as fire, drought, earthquake, wind disaster, heavy snow, landslide, etc.). ), including some social phenomena caused by social reasons, such as war, unrest, government intervention, strikes, embargoes, market conditions, etc. Generally speaking, all countries regard natural phenomena, wars and serious disturbances as force majeure events.

At the same time, force majeure must have the following three factors:

1, unforeseen refers to accidents.

2. insurmountable means that subjectively, it is neither intentional nor responsible, and this event will inevitably happen.

3. Necessity means that even if an unforeseeable disaster happens, if the consequences can be avoided, it does not constitute force majeure. Only when measures cannot be taken to avoid it can it be characterized by force majeure. For example, if a ship encounters a storm at sea and there is a safe haven nearby, it will be responsible for the damage to the goods if it does not go in.

Bad weather conditions refer to heavy snow, freezing, low temperature, strong wind (blowing sand), high temperature and heat, rainfall and continuous rainfall. It belongs to the change of climatic conditions caused by natural disasters and natural environment. There will be many preventive measures against bad weather to minimize the impact of bad weather.
