Legal Term
Force Majeure Clause for Weather Delays in Film Production Location Agreements
Legal Definition
A contractual provision in a film production location agreement that excuses a party from liability or performance obligations when unforeseeable weather events, such as storms or natural disasters, render the location inaccessible or unsafe for filming, thereby suspending or terminating duties without penalty.
In Plain English
This is a part of a contract that says if really bad weather stops you from filming at a rented location, you might not have to pay for the lost time or be sued for breaking the agreement.
Example in a Contract
'Force Majeure Event: Any event beyond the reasonable control of a party, including but not limited to hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, or extreme weather conditions, that renders the Location inaccessible or unsuitable for filming. Upon occurrence, Producer may suspend filming without obligation to pay rent during suspension, provided written notice is given within 48 hours. Location Owner waives all claims for damages arising from such suspension.'
