Outsourcing Agreement

An Outsourcing Agreement governs the delegation of business functions to an external provider, defining scope, service levels, and performance standards. This playbook highlights key risk mitigation strategies for data protection, continuity, and liability allocation.

Force Majeure Events

Why This Matters: Ambiguous force majeure clauses can lead to overbroad or insufficient relief, causing operational disruptions or unfair advantages, so clarity prevents misuse and mitigates risk.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Company:

Ensure the clause includes a comprehensive list of events and clear notice requirements to avoid disputes. Negotiate for a reasonable duration of relief and a mechanism for resumption of performance.

If you're the Service Provider:

Advocate for a narrow definition of force majeure events to limit potential abuse. Ensure that the notice period is practical and that the clause includes provisions for prolonged impacts.

Essential elements

1

Force Majeure Definition

Defines uncontrollable events.
2

Notice Requirements

Specifies notification timeline.
3

Duration of Relief

Outlines suspension period.

Action framework

ACCEPT

Propose edits if the clause lacks clarity or omits key events.

EDIT

Reject if the clause is overly broad or lacks a resumption mechanism.

ADD

Add language for industry-specific risks or prolonged impacts.

PRO TIP

Always consult with industry experts to tailor the force majeure clause to specific operational risks.

Alternative scenarios & positions

High-Risk Projects

In high-risk projects, ensure the clause covers specific risks like political instability or natural disasters, which could severely impact performance.

Supply Chain Disruptions

For manufacturing contracts, include supply chain disruptions as a force majeure event to address potential delays in material availability.

Pandemic Response

In healthcare contracts, explicitly include pandemics to ensure clear relief measures during widespread health crises.
