34 mins confidence:  force majeure = superior or irresistable force
Explanation:
Events that are outside the control of the parties (to the contract) and could not be avoided by the exercise of due care.
This senteence is the standard legal definition for "force majeure." Rather than use the entire sentence we often just use "force majeur" in contract.
It is unclear which direction you are going in (G-E or E-g).
Anyway, good luck.

50 mins confidence:  peer agreement (net): +3 durch Anwendung der gebotenen Sorgfalt vermeidbar
Explanation:
Have a look at the following definition of force majeure/hoehere Gewalt I found on
http://europa.eu.int/comm/consumers/policy/developments/pack...
ii) die Stornierung erfolgt aufgrund hoeherer Gewalt, d. h. aufgrund ungewoehnlicher und unvorhersehbarer Ereignisse, auf die derjenige, der sich auf hoehere Gewalt beruft, keinen Einfluss hat und deren Folgen trotz Anwendung der gebotenen Sorgfalt nicht haetten vermieden werden koennen; hierzu zaehlt jedoch nicht die UEberbuchung
