attibutable to one(self)


Explanation:
The word "responsible" is redundant in this context, I would say.

"XXの責に帰すことができない事由により” is a pretty common phrase used in contracts, and its counterpart in English contracts is "due to any cause not attributable to XX".

You will find quite a number of examples of this phrase on the web.
