act of God

An Act of God is a natural force outside of human control (such as an earthquake, tsunami, or hurricane), and may relieve a party or parties to a contract or agreement from having to perform their obligations. Such Acts of God are often addressed in a force majeure clause, which typically appears near the end of the contract or agreement.

In Wyoming, as in many other jurisdictions, an 'Act of God' refers to unforeseen natural events that are beyond human control and can potentially relieve parties from fulfilling their contractual obligations. This concept is often encapsulated in a 'force majeure' clause within contracts. Force majeure clauses are designed to outline the conditions under which parties can be excused from performing their duties due to extraordinary events. The specific application of an Act of God or force majeure clause in Wyoming would depend on the language of the contract and the circumstances of the event. If a party seeks to invoke a force majeure clause, they must typically show that the event was unforeseeable, beyond their control, and directly prevented them from fulfilling their contractual obligations. Wyoming courts would interpret these clauses based on the contract's language and the facts of each case, adhering to principles of contract law.
