van buiten komende oorzaken
De bepaling over Overmacht in de algemene voorwaarden van een interim-managementorganisatie. Het lukt mij alsmaar niet er een goed lopende zin van de maken. Het document lijkt het resultaat van veel knippen en plakken.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

arising as a result of external causes
My opinion is: external causes alone is not what is written and not enough to complete the translation, after all, why did the author not simply write externe oorzaken?
Ik denk dat het niet zo geschreven is, omdat in dat zin, meer overgebracht wordt in het Nederlands.
Apart from what is understood by the definition given in law and jurisprudence on this subject, force majeure means all matters arising as a result of external causes - foreseen or unforeseen - that the contracted party cannot influence, and through which the contracted party is not reasonably able to fulfill its obligations.
