What's the force majeure clause in a commercial lease?

I am a small business owner who is in the process of signing a commercial lease for my business. I am concerned about the implications of force majeure clauses in the lease and would like to understand them better. I have read through the clause, but am not sure if it covers all of the situations that may arise and if there are any additional considerations that I need to take into account. I would like to understand the full implications of the clause and any additional steps I should take to protect myself.

Force majeure is a provision that usually allows either party to delay completing an obligation in a lease. Force majeure is described as an act that is beyond the control of either party, such as a natural disaster, terrorism, or pandemic.
