Wrog. Force Majure clauses have most certainly been upheld in courts, in the US and India. I'd recommend not waiting until the last minute to remit your mortgage payment.
Here is the Fore Majure cluase from our companies contract:
Our obligations to render services hereunder, in whole or in part, shall be suspended during any period where such rendering by us is prevented by in each case, any of the following factors which are beyond our reasonable control: war, riot, invasion, flood, fire, hurricane, tornado, requirement of law, computer virus, Internet infrastructure failure, disruption of services provided by our ISP or other suppliers, earthquake, computer system malfunction caused by factors not subject to our reasonable control, power failure, accident, strike or lockout, governmental interference or regulation, terrorism, infectious disease, or any other condition beyond our reasonable control. An equitable reduction in the fees to be paid to us shall be made in proportion to the value of any services required hereunder which we fail to provide due the existence of any such Force Majeure condition.
Standard boilerplate stuff. We had to invoke the clause a few years ago when a hurricane shut down our facilities for 2 days.
Your dichotomy isn't very honest. In reality our choices were:
Donkey Turd
Elephant Turd
Soap
The American people are tired of turds, but as long as they try to game the system that's what they'll get. My god, if enough people voted Soap the major parties might run something more palpable like roadkill or week old sushi.
