Some people believe that even when an act of force majeure occurs, the parties are still expected to “make reasonable efforts” to fulfill their obligations under the contract. However, when most of those situations happen, nothing is easy, and taking care of your emotional and mental health should matter most.

6.7.3 Should any such event occur, the affected Party shall receive a reprieve from their obligation for as long as said circumstances persist.
