Force Majuer is a term of legalese commonly found in insurance policies,
treaties and statutes.  It is perhaps unlikely that most people understand
what it refers to.  It would be infinitely preferable if some sort of term
like "circumstances beyond our control - eg thunderstorms, floods, high
winds" (often also referred to as acts of god in insurance policies) were
used.
