What's that term for uncontrollable factors

OTHER than just "controllable factors" which is the briefest possible way to explain it?
And what I meant by that are incidents such as thunder storms that caused flights to cancel or an already occurred crime that disrupt a process of something, all of which are uncontrollable?

I do NOT have a context, I'm simply translating my minds here:) And the reason that I think that is that our language does have a fixed term for that, so I'm wondering:)
But it doesn't necessary have to be a nature-caused factor, though.

Is it rather less correct/professional to just say "uncontrollable factors/causes"?
For example, "The contract remains the same unless any uncontrollable causes occurs"?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Act_of_God is a legal term, and therefore the best one to use. If you want a less correct/or professional one there re probably dozens. It's probably not a good idea to use your own invented terms in a contract.
