Does the Gokhale Method franchise agreement specify any exceptions to the force majeure clause?

According to the 2024 Gokhale Method Franchise Disclosure Document, the franchise agreement outlines a force majeure clause without specifying any exceptions. The clause generally excuses either party from non-performance or delays caused by events beyond their control.

These events include Acts of God, strikes, war, riot, epidemic, fire or other natural catastrophe, terrorist acts or government actions resulting from terrorist acts, or other forces beyond your or our control. These events must materially and adversely affect the ability of the franchisee or Gokhale Method to perform their obligations under the agreement or impact the condition, use, or operation of the franchised business.

In essence, this clause provides a degree of protection for both the franchisee and Gokhale Method in the event of extraordinary circumstances that prevent them from fulfilling their contractual duties. However, the clause does not list any specific situations or conditions that would be excluded from force majeure, meaning its application would likely depend on the specific facts and circumstances of each situation.
