      The SLA excludes force majeure.

        Making a probabilistic claim while excluding a factor that dominates those statistics is... is quite creative accounting.

          Force majeure carveouts are really common in every type of contract.

          You should check your home insurance contract, for instance... It likely would not cover an ICBM strike.
