📌 This tool is designed to help businesses (and their lawyers) to manage contract issues resulting from the COVID-19 disruption. It helps you interpret your contracts, create interim contractual terms and new force majeure clauses for different contract types, depending on whether you are a customer, supplier, or in a two-way relationship. Practical 🛠, not legal waffle.

Notes on using the tools.

🚀 If you're not sure where to start, start

here⁠

. This checklist will take you through the basic steps for organising your work.

Use the

Adviser⁠

tool to assess where you stand with each of your contracts. It gives you indicators and a rating depending on what your force majeure clause says. We apply general contractual principles and do not attempt to advise on overriding Civil Code provisions or legal principles like frustration or hardship. Those laws are inherently uncertain and difficult to apply (even more so than interpreting a contract) and are usually harder to prove, so in practice are more relevant if you are likely to litigate - at which point you should be getting legal advice anyway.

Use the

Negotiator⁠

tool to help you renegotiate your key contracts, or agree interim arrangements, if you want to keep a working relationship going and avoid legal disputes. Use the slider to choose the scenario that fits your needs, then select your key objectives.

Use the

Generator⁠

tool to create or improve your force majeure clause going forward. Items which vary across the scenarios are highlighted in red and summarised in Key variables (which also mentions things which might vary country to country). Additional guidance is provided in the Deep dive. The 🌶 rating tells you how important it is to customise the clause for your needs, and whether it could be impacted by your local laws. 🙇 If you want to go deeper, check out the

pro generator⁠

which lets you toggle at a clause level.
