/ˈvɪs ˈmeɪdʒə/ – noun
Definition: trường hợp bất khả kháng.
A more thorough explanation: “Vis major” is a legal term that refers to an irresistible force or unforeseeable event that prevents a party from fulfilling their obligations under a contract. It is also known as an “act of God” and can serve as a defense against liability for non-performance of contractual duties.
Example: The company argued that the flooding was a vis major event beyond their control, relieving them of liability for any damages caused.
