en Act of God
force majeure
an inevitable event occurring without the intervention of man - such as flood, tempest, or death - operating in case of certain contracts, such as insurances etc. Damage done by an Act of God would not be the responsibility of a bailee, although he/she might be responsible for many other calamities. Acts of God are excluded by the usual bill of lading and, to the extent not specifically assumed, by insurance policies.
Act of God is not perfectly synonymous with the expression force majeur; it includes, however, every loss by the latter, as long as there is no human negligence or human act is involved.
