beyond reasonable control

German translation: auf Grund jeglicher, von ihr nicht zu vertretender Gründe.

Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s)
English term or phrase: beyond reasonable control
"Neither party will be liable to the other party for any delay or failure to perform its obligations (other than a payment of money) as a result of any cause beyond its reasonable control." I know this has to do with "höherer Gewalt" etc. but can't find the equivalent German legal term. Many thanks for your help.

German translation:auf Grund jeglicher, von ihr nicht zu vertretender Gründe.
Explanation:
That's the wording that is used by German lawyers. Everything else sounds translated.
