Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a contract becomes impossible to perform due to an unforeseen event or circumstance, such as a fire that destroys the subject matter of the contract, it is considered discharged by impossibility. This means that neither party is obligated to continue with the contract, and any deposits or payments made prior to the event may be refunded.
