Medical - Law: Contract(s) / clinical study agreement
English term or phrase: act of god/nature
"A party shall not be in breach of this Agreement if there is any total or partial failure by it of its duties and obligations occasioned by any act of god, act of nature, fire, act of government or state, war, civil commotion, insurrection, embargo, prevention from or a hindrance in obtaining raw material, energy or other supplies, labour disputes of whatever nature or any reason beyond the control of the other party." qualcuno mi saprebbe indicare la frase standard corrispondente per i contratti in italiano? ho trovato che per "act of god" si intendono cause di forza maggiore ma non so se include anche "of nature" o se tradurre es. cause naturali?

intercambiabili:
Act of God or act of nature is a legal term[1] for events outside of human control, such as sudden floods or other natural disasters, for which no one can be held responsible. This does not protect those who put others in danger of acts of God through negligence, such as an adult who instructs a group of children to stand under a tree to escape a lightning storm.

The legal term, "Act of God", does not necessarily imply that God had a direct intervention which specifically caused a "natural" occurance or disaster.

What is an act of "Nature," and what is an act of "God"? The idea of superhuman inexorability certainly has mythological roots (Juggernaut, or Jagannath, is an avatar of Vishnu). At what point do either Nature or God become indistinguishable from human action — from cultural, political and economic effects? In the modern technological west, divine action has become difficult to perceive; rather than demonic possession, we see an epileptic seizure, for example. Yet "acts of Nature" are still commonly distinguished from human agency. To be sure, Katrina stands as a terrifying reminder that there are forces independent of cultural construction. Yet even in this seemingly obvious instance, the visibility of Nature has begun to dissolve and become more transparent to human action — of indifferent officials, careless engineers, prejudiced developers. Indeed, it is becoming harder to point to a stable Nature that stands independent of human action. If the "death of God" marked the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, might the "death of Nature" mark the twentieth and twenty-first?
