What is a force majeure notice?
Tell the other party that an event outside your control is stopping or delaying your performance of a contract: what happened, what is affected, how long it may last and what you are doing about it. Start from this template in FileIt eSignature: fill in the blanks, add the people who sign, and send it. Everyone signs online and the signed PDF is filed in your vault.
