Certificate of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Ukraine: how to protect business from force majeure?
In today’s business environment, especially during unstable political and natural conditions, enterprises must be prepared for various contingencies that may affect their operations. One of the tools that can help a business manage risks is the certificate of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Ukraine (CCIU), which can become an important means of protection against force majeure circumstances.
What is force majeure?
Force majeure is unforeseen events or circumstances that arise beyond the will of the parties and make it impossible for them to fulfill their obligations under the contract. These can be natural disasters (for example, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes), environmental disasters (releases of toxic substances, water pollution), war, acts of terrorism, legal restrictions (for example, changes in legislation or prohibitions), economic crises, epidemics and other events, which prevent the fulfillment of the terms of the agreement. Force majeure circumstances usually exempt the parties from liability for non-fulfillment or improper fulfillment of the terms of the contract, if this is impossible due to these circumstances.
