Frequently Asked Questions

Is this legal advice?
FormalDraft generates professionally structured business correspondence templates referencing UAE Civil Transactions Law. It is not a substitute for legal advice — we recommend consulting a qualified lawyer before sending any force majeure notice, especially for high-value contracts.
How accurate is the force majeure notice?
Every notice references Article 273 and Article 249 of the UAE Civil Transactions Law, follows the 10-section UAE notice standard, and incorporates your specific contract details, obligations, and mitigation steps. The effectiveness of any force majeure notice depends on your contract terms and the applicable governing law — we recommend legal review before sending.
What if my contract is governed by DIFC or ADGM law?
Select your jurisdiction in the form. For DIFC or ADGM, the notice will include a prominent disclaimer noting that these jurisdictions follow common law principles where force majeure provisions may differ from UAE Federal Law. We recommend consulting a specialist in your jurisdiction.
Can I use this for multiple contracts?
Yes. Your AED 499 purchase includes 10 generations — regenerate with different contract details for each counterparty or contract.
Does it work in Arabic?
Yes. The Arabic force majeure notice is generated using native Arabic legal conventions and formal Modern Standard Arabic — it is not a translation from English. Download as .docx with full right-to-left formatting.
Can I edit the output?
Yes — download as .docx, open in Word, add your company letterhead, adjust the language, and send. The notice is designed as a professional starting point that you customize for your needs.
Do you store my data?
We store your email for authentication and your generated notices for your generation history. We do not share your data with third parties. See our Privacy Policy for details.
What's the difference between force majeure and hardship?
Force majeure (Article 273) applies when performance is impossible — the obligation is extinguished by operation of law. Hardship (Article 249) applies when performance is still possible but has become excessively burdensome — the court may adjust the obligation to a reasonable level. The tool generates notices that reference both articles where appropriate.
