在货物运输过程中，或许会遇见一些非人为的原因的影响和破坏。不可抗力条约就是为了这个以防万一筹备的。买卖的双方要事先协商好假如遇见这类不可预测的状况该怎么办问题。
15. 不可抗力条约Force Majeure
不可抗力条约包含不可抗力时间和（当事方）采取的行动。
大家用两段例文来更好的理解一下不可抗力条约的内涵：
例1：假如遭遇没办法控制的时间或状况应视为不可抗力，但不限于失火、风灾、水灾、地震、爆炸、叛乱、传染、检疫、隔离。如如果不可抗力一方不可以履行合同规定下的义务，另一方应将履行合同的时间延长，所延长的时间应与不可抗力事件的时间相等。
Any event or circumstance beyond control shall be regarded as Force Majeure but not restricted to fire, wind, flood, earthquake, explosion, rebellion, epidemic1, quarantine and segregation2. In case either party that encounters Force Majeure fails to fulfill3 the obligation under the contract, the other party should extend the performance time by period equal to the time that Force Majeure will last.
例2：假如不可抗力持续6个月以上，合同双方应尽快通过友好协商的方法调整继续履行合同事宜。假如双方不可以达成共识，则依据合同中第12条约通过仲裁决定。
If the Force Majeure last over 6 months, the two parties of the contract should settle the case of continuing the contract by friendly negotiation4 as soon as possible. Should the two parties fail to reach an agreement will be settled by arbitration5 according to Clause 12 of the contract thereof.
