[CISG] For U.S.citation purposes, the UN-certified English text is published in 52 Federal Register 6262, 6264-6280(March 2, 1987);United States Code Annotated, Title 15, Appendix(Supp.1987).Linked Table of Treaty Sections THE STATES PARTIES TO THIS CONVENTION, BEARING IN MIND the broad objectives in the resolutions adopted by the sixth special session of the General Assembly of the United Nations on the establishment of a New International Economic Order, CONSIDERING that the development of international trade on the basis of equality and mutual benefit is an important element in promoting friendly relations among States, BEING OF THE OPINION that the adoption of uniform rules which govern contracts for the international sale of goods and take into account the different social, economic and legal systems would contribute to the removal of legal barriers in international trade and promote the development of international trade, HAVE AGREED as follows:
PART I SPHERE OF APPLICATION AND GENERAL PROVISIONS
Chapter I
SPHERE OF APPLICATION
Article 1(1)This Convention applies to contracts of sale of goods between parties whose places of business are in different States:(a)when the States are Contracting States;or(b)when the rules of private international law lead to the application of the law of a Contracting State.(2)The fact that the parties have their places of business in different States is to be disregarded whenever this fact does not appear either from the contract or from any dealings between, or from information disclosed by, the parties at any time before or at the conclusion of the contract.(3)Neither the nationality of the parties nor the civil or commercial character of the parties or of the contract is to be taken into consideration in determining the application of this Convention.Article 2 This Convention does not apply to sales:(a)of goods bought for personal, family or household use, unless the seller, at any time before or at the conclusion of the contract, neither knew nor ought to have known that the goods were bought for any such use;(b)by auction;(c)on execution or otherwise by authority of law;(d)of stocks, shares, investment securities, negotiable instruments or money;(e)of ships, vessels, hovercraft or aircraft;(f)of electricity.Article 3(1)Contracts for the supply of goods to be manufactured or produced are to be considered sales unless the party who orders the goods undertakes to supply a substantial part of the materials necessary for such manufacture or production.(2)This Convention does not apply to contracts in which the preponderant part of the obligations of the party who furnishes the goods consists in the supply of labour or other services.Article 4 This Convention governs only the formation of the contract of sale and the rights and obligations of the seller and the buyer arising from such a contract.In particular, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Convention, it is not concerned with:(a)the validity of the contract or of any of its provisions or of any usage;(b)the effect which the contract may have on the property in the goods sold.Article 5 This Convention does not apply to the liability of the seller for death or personal injury caused by the goods to any person.Article 6 The parties may exclude the application of this Convention or, subject to article 12, derogate from or vary the effect of any of its provisions.Chapter II GENERAL PROVISIONS
Article 7(1)In the interpretation of this Convention, regard is to be had to its international character and to the need to promote uniformity in its application and the observance of good faith in international trade.(2)Questions concerning matters governed by this Convention which are not expressly settled in it are to be settled in conformity with the general principles on which it is based or, in the absence of such principles, in conformity with the law applicable by virtue of the rules of private international law.Article 8(1)For the purposes of this Convention statements made by and other conduct of a party are to be interpreted according to his intent where the other party knew or could not have been unaware what that intent was.(2)If the preceding paragraph is not applicable, statements made by and other conduct of a party are to be interpreted according to the understanding that a reasonable person of the same kind as the other party would have had in the same circumstances.(3)In determining the intent of a party or the understanding a reasonable person would have had, due consideration is to be given to all relevant circumstances of the case including the negotiations, any practices which the parties have established between themselves, usages and any subsequent conduct of the parties.Article 9(1)The parties are bound by any usage to which they have agreed and by any practices which they have established between themselves.(2)The parties are considered, unless otherwise agreed, to have impliedly made applicable to their contract or its formation a usage of which the parties knew or ought to have known and which in international trade is widely known to, and regularly observed by, parties to contracts of the type involved in the particular trade concerned.Article 10 For the purposes of this Convention:(a)if a party has more than one place of business, the place of business is that which has the closest relationship to the contract and its performance, having regard to the circumstances known to or contemplated by the parties at any time before or at the conclusion of the contract;(b)if a party does not have a place of business, reference is to be made to his habitual residence.Article 11 A contract of sale need not be concluded in or evidenced by writing and is not subject to any other requirement as to form.It may be proved by any means, including witnesses.Article 12 Any provision of article 11, article 29 or Part II of this Convention that allows a contract of sale or its modification or termination by agreement or any offer, acceptance or other indication of intention to be made in any form other than in writing does not apply where any party has his place of business in a Contracting State which has made a declaration under article 96 of this Convention.The parties may not derogate from or vary the effect or this article.Article 13 For the purposes of this Convention “writing” includes telegram and telex.PART II
FORMATION OF THE CONTRACT
Article 14(1)A proposal for concluding a contract addressed to one or more specific persons constitutes an offer if it is sufficiently definite and indicates the intention of the offeror to be bound in case of acceptance.A proposal is sufficiently definite if it indicates the goods and expressly or implicitly fixes or makes provision for determining the quantity and the price.(2)A proposal other than one addressed to one or more specific persons is to be considered merely as an invitation to make offers, unless the contrary is clearly indicated by the person making the proposal.Article 15(1)An offer becomes effective when it reaches the offeree.(2)An offer, even if it is irrevocable, may be withdrawn if the withdrawal reaches the offeree before or at the same time as the offer.Article 16(1)Until a contract is concluded an offer may be revoked if the revocation reaches the offeree before he has dispatched an acceptance.(2)However, an offer cannot be revoked:(a)if it indicates, whether by stating a fixed time for acceptance or otherwise, that it is irrevocable;or(b)if it was reasonable for the offeree to rely on the offer as being irrevocable and the offeree has acted in reliance on the offer.Article 17 An offer, even if it is irrevocable, is terminated when a rejection reaches the offeror.Article 18(1)A statement made by or other conduct of the offeree indicating assent to an offer is an acceptance.Silence or inactivity does not in itself amount to acceptance.(2)An acceptance of an offer becomes effective at the moment the indication of assent reaches the offeror.An acceptance is not effective if the indication of assent does not reach the offeror within the time he has fixed or, if no time is fixed, within a reasonable time, due account being taken of the circumstances of the transaction, including the rapidity of the means of communication employed by the offeror.An oral offer must be accepted immediately unless the circumstances indicate otherwise.(3)However, if, by virtue of the offer or as a result of practices which the parties have established between themselves or of usage, the offeree may indicate assent by performing an act, such as one relating to the dispatch of the goods or payment of the price, without notice to the offeror, the acceptance is effective at the moment the act is performed, provided that the act is performed within the period of time laid down in the preceding paragraph.Article 19(1)A reply to an offer which purports to be an acceptance but contains additions, limitations or other modifications is a rejection of the offer and constitutes a counter-offer.(2)However, a reply to an offer which purports to be an acceptance but contains additional or different terms which do not materially alter the terms of the offer constitutes an acceptance, unless the offeror, without undue delay, objects orally to the discrepancy or dispatches a notice to that effect.If he does not so object, the terms of the contract are the terms of the offer with the modifications contained in the acceptance.(3)Additional or different terms relating, among other things, to the price, payment, quality and quantity of the goods, place and time of delivery, extent of one party's liability to the other or the settlement of disputes are considered to alter the terms of the offer materially.Article 20(1)A period of time for acceptance fixed by the offeror in a telegram or a letter begins to run from the moment the telegram is handed in for dispatch or from the date shown on the letter or, if no such date is shown, from the date shown on the envelope.A period of time for acceptance fixed by the offeror by telephone, telex or other means of instantaneous communication, begins to run from the moment that the offer reaches the offeree.(2)Official holidays or non-business days occurring during the period for acceptance are included in calculating the period.However, if a notice of acceptance cannot be delivered at the address of the offeror on the last day of the period because that day falls on an official holiday or a non-business day at the place of business of the offeror, the period is extended until the first business day which follows.Article 21(1)A late acceptance is nevertheless effective as an acceptance if without delay the offeror orally so informs the offeree or dispatches a notice to that effect.(2)If a letter or other writing containing a late acceptance shows that it has been sent in such circumstances that if its transmission had been normal it would have reached the offeror in due time, the late acceptance is effective as an acceptance unless, without delay, the offeror orally informs the offeree that he considers his offer as having lapsed or dispatches a notice to that effect.Article 22 An acceptance may be withdrawn if the withdrawal reaches the offeror before or at the same time as the acceptance would have become effective.Article 23 A contract is concluded at the moment when an acceptance of an offer becomes effective in accordance with the provisions of this Convention.Article 24 For the purposes of this Part of the Convention, an offer, declaration of acceptance or any other indication of intention “reaches” the addressee when it is made orally to him or delivered by any other means to him personally, to his place of business or mailing address or, if he does not have a place of business or mailing address, to his habitual residence.PART III SALE OF GOODS Chapter I GENERAL PROVISIONS
Article 25 A breach of contract committed by one of the parties is fundamental if it results in such detriment to the other party as substantially to deprive him of what he is entitled to expect under the contract, unless the party in breach did not foresee and a reasonable person of the same kind in the same circumstances would not have foreseen such a result.Article 26 A declaration of avoidance of the contract is effective only if made by notice to the other party.Article 27 Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Part of the Convention, if any notice, request or other communication is given or made by a party in accordance with this Part and by means appropriate in the circumstances, a delay or error in the transmission of the communication or its failure to arrive does not deprive that party of the right to rely on the communication.Article 28 If, in accordance with the provisions of this Convention, one party is entitled to require performance of any obligation by the other party, a court is not bound to enter a judgement for specific performance unless the court would do so under its own law in respect of similar contracts of sale not governed by this Convention.Article 29(1)A contract may be modified or terminated by the mere agreement of the parties.(2)A contract in writing which contains a provision requiring any modification or termination by agreement to be in writing may not be otherwise modified or terminated by agreement.However, a party may be precluded by his conduct from asserting such a provision to the extent that the other party has relied on that conduct.Chapter II
OBLIGATIONS OF THE SELLER
Article 30 The seller must deliver the goods, hand over any documents relating to them and transfer the property in the goods, as required by the contract and this Convention.Section I.Delivery of the goods and handing over of documents
Article 31 If the seller is not bound to deliver the goods at any other particular place, his obligation to deliver consists:(a)if the contract of sale involves carriage of the goodsin placing the goods at the buyer's disposal at that place;(c)in other cases-in placing the goods at the buyer's disposal at the place where the seller had his place of business at the time of the conclusion of the contract.Article 32(1)If the seller, in accordance with the contract or this Convention, hands the goods over to a carrier and if the goods are not clearly identified to the contract by markings on the goods, by shipping documents or otherwise, the seller must give the buyer notice of the consignment specifying the goods.(2)If the seller is bound to arrange for carriage of the goods, he must make such contracts as are necessary for carriage to the place fixed by means of transportation appropriate in the circumstances and according to the usual terms for such transportation.(3)If the seller is not bound to effect insurance in respect of the carriage of the goods, he must, at the buyer's request, provide him with all available information necessary to enable him to effect such insurance.Article 33 The seller must deliver the goods:(a)if a date is fixed by or determinable from the contract, on that date;(b)if a period of time is fixed by or determinable from the contract, at any time within that period unless circumstances indicate that the buyer is to choose a date;or(c)in any other case, within a reasonable time after the conclusion of the contract.Article 34 If the seller is bound to hand over documents relating to the goods, he must hand them over at the time and place and in the form required by the contract.If the seller has handed over documents before that time, he may, up to that time, cure any lack of conformity in the documents, if the exercise of this right does not cause the buyer unreasonable inconvenience or unreasonable expense.However, the buyer retains any right to claim damages as provided for in this Convention.Section II.Conformity of the goods and third party claims
Article 35(1)The seller must deliver goods which are of the quantity, quality and description required by the contract and which are contained or packaged in the manner required by the contract.(2)Except where the parties have agreed otherwise, the goods do not conform with the contract unless they:(a)are fit for the purposes for which goods of the same description would ordinarily be used;(b)are fit for any particular purpose expressly or impliedly made known to the seller at the time of the conclusion of the contract, except where the circumstances show that the buyer did not rely, or that it was unreasonable for him to rely, on the seller's skill and judgement;(c)possess the qualities of goods which the seller has held out to the buyer as a sample or model;(d)are contained or packaged in the manner usual for such goods or, where there is no such manner, in a manner adequate to preserve and protect the goods.(3)The seller is not liable under subparagraphs(a)to(d)of the preceding paragraph for any lack of conformity of the goods if at the time of the conclusion of the contract the buyer knew or could not have been unaware of such lack of conformity.Article 36(1)The seller is liable in accordance with the contract and this Convention for any lack of conformity which exists at the time when the risk passes to the buyer, even though the lack of conformity becomes apparent only after that time.(2)The seller is also liable for any lack of conformity which occurs after the time indicated in the preceding paragraph and which is due to a breach of any of his obligations, including a breach of any guarantee that for a period of time the goods will remain fit for their ordinary purpose or for some particular purpose or will retain specified qualities or characteristics.Article 37 If the seller has delivered goods before the date for delivery, he may, up to that date, deliver any missing part or make up any deficiency in the quantity of the goods delivered, or deliver goods in replacement of any non-conforming goods delivered or remedy any lack of conformity in the goods delivered, provided that the exercise of this right does not cause the buyer unreasonable inconvenience or unreasonable expense.However, the buyer retains any right to claim damages as provided for in this Convention.Article 38(1)The buyer must examine the goods, or cause them to be examined, within as short a period as is practicable in the circumstances.(2)If the contract involves carriage of the goods, examination may be deferred until after the goods have arrived at their destination.(3)If the goods are redirected in transit or redispatched by the buyer without a reasonable opportunity for examination by him and at the time of the conclusion of the contract the seller knew or ought to have known of the possibility of such redirection or redispatch, examination may be deferred until after the goods have arrived at the new destination.Article 39(1)The buyer loses the right to rely on a lack of conformity of the goods if he does not give notice to the seller specifying the nature of the lack of conformity within a reasonable time after he has discovered it or ought to have discovered it.(2)In any event, the buyer loses the right to rely on a lack of conformity of the goods if he does not give the seller notice thereof at the latest within a period of two years from the date on which the goods were actually handed over to the buyer, unless this time-limit is inconsistent with a contractual period of guarantee.Article 40 The seller is not entitled to rely on the provisions of articles 38 and 39 if the lack of conformity relates to facts of which he knew or could not have been unaware and which he did not disclose to the buyer.Article 41 The seller must deliver goods which are free from any right or claim of a third party, unless the buyer agreed to take the goods subject to that right or claim.However, if such right or claim is based on industrial property or other intellectual property, the seller's obligation is governed by article 42.Article 42(1)The seller must deliver goods which are free from any right or claim of a third party based on industrial property or other intellectual property, of which at the time of the conclusion of the contract the seller knew or could not have been unaware, provided that the right or claim is based on industrial property or other intellectual property:(a)under the law of the State where the goods will be resold or otherwise used, if it was contemplated by the parties at the time of the conclusion of the contract that the goods would be resold or otherwise used in that State;or(b)in any other case, under the law of the State where the buyer has his place of business.(2)The obligation of the seller under the preceding paragraph does not extend to cases where:(a)at the time of the conclusion of the contract the buyer knew or could not have been unaware of the right or claim;or(b)the right or claim results from the seller's compliance with technical drawings, designs, formulae or other such specifications furnished by the buyer.Article 43(1)The buyer loses the right to rely on the provisions of article 41 or article 42 if he does not give notice to the seller specifying the nature of the right or claim of the third party within a reasonable time after he has become aware or ought to have become aware of the right or claim.(2)The seller is not entitled to rely on the provisions of the preceding paragraph if he knew of the right or claim of the third party and the nature of it.Article 44 Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph(1)of article 39 and paragraph(1)of article 43, the buyer may reduce the price in accordance with article 50 or claim damages, except for loss of profit, if he has a reasonable excuse for his failure to give the required notice.Section III.Remedies for breach of contract by the seller
Article 45(1)If the seller fails to perform any of his obligations under the contract or this Convention, the buyer may:(a)exercise the rights provided in articles 46 to 52;(b)claim damages as provided in articles 74 to 77.(2)The buyer is not deprived of any right he may have to claim damages by exercising his right to other remedies.(3)No period of grace may be granted to the seller by a court or arbitral tribunal when the buyer resorts to a remedy for breach of contract.Article 46(1)The buyer may require performance by the seller of his obligations unless the buyer has resorted to a remedy which is inconsistent with this requirement.(2)If the goods do not conform with the contract, the buyer may require delivery of substitute goods only if the lack of conformity constitutes a fundamental breach of contract and a request for substitute goods is made either in conjunction with notice given under article 39 or within a reasonable time thereafter.(3)If the goods do not conform with the contract, the buyer may require the seller to remedy the lack of conformity by repair, unless this is unreasonable having regard to all the circumstances.A request for repair must be made either in conjunction with notice given under article 39 or within a reasonable time thereafter.Article 47(1)The buyer may fix an additional period of time of reasonable length for performance by the seller of his obligations.(2)Unless the buyer has received notice from the seller that he will not perform within the period so fixed, the buyer may not, during that period, resort to any remedy for breach of contract.However, the buyer is not deprived thereby of any right he may have to claim damages for delay in performance.Article 48(1)Subject to article 49, the seller may, even after the date for delivery, remedy at his own expense any failure to perform his obligations, if he can do so without unreasonable delay and without causing the buyer unreasonable inconvenience or uncertainty of reimbursement by the seller of expenses advanced by the buyer.However, the buyer retains any right to claim damages as provided for in this Convention.(2)If the seller requests the buyer to make known whether he will accept performance and the buyer does not comply with the request within a reasonable time, the seller may perform within the time indicated in his request.The buyer may not, during that period of time, resort to any remedy which is inconsistent with performance by the seller.(3)A notice by the seller that he will perform within a specified period of time is assumed to include a request, under the preceding paragraph, that the buyer make known his decision.(4)A request or notice by the seller under paragraph(2)or(3)of this article is not effective unless received by the buyer.Article 49(1)The buyer may declare the contract avoided:(a)if the failure by the seller to perform any of his obligations under the contract or this Convention amounts to a fundamental breach of contract;or(b)in case of non-delivery, if the seller does not deliver the goods within the additional period of time fixed by the buyer in accordance with paragraph(1)of article 47 or declares that he will not deliver within the period so fixed.(2)However, in cases where the seller has delivered the goods, the buyer loses the right to declare the contract avoided unless he does so:(a)in respect of late delivery, within a reasonable time after he has become aware that delivery has been made;(b)in respect of any breach other than late delivery, within a reasonable time:(i)after he knew or ought to have known of the breach;(ii)after the expiration of any additional period of time fixed by the buyer in accordance with paragraph(1)of article 47, or after the seller has declared that he will not perform his obligations within such an additional period;or(iii)after the expiration of any additional period of time indicated by the seller in accordance with paragraph(2)of article 48, or after the buyer has declared that he will not accept performance.Article 50 If the goods do not conform with the contract and whether or not the price has already been paid, the buyer may reduce the price in the same proportion as the value that the goods actually delivered had at the time of the delivery bears to the value that conforming goods would have had at that time.However, if the seller remedies any failure to perform his obligations in accordance with article 37 or article 48 or if the buyer refuses to accept performance by the seller in accordance with those articles, the buyer may not reduce the price.Article 51(1)If the seller delivers only a part of the goods or if only a part of the goods delivered is in conformity with the contract, articles 46 to 50 apply in respect of the part which is missing or which does not conform.(2)The buyer may declare the contract avoided in its entirety only if the failure to make delivery completely or in conformity with the contract amounts to a fundamental breach of the contract.Article 52(1)If the seller delivers the goods before the date fixed, the buyer may take delivery or refuse to take delivery.(2)If the seller delivers a quantity of goods greater than that provided for in the contract, the buyer may take delivery or refuse to take delivery of the excess quantity.If the buyer takes delivery of all or part of the excess quantity, he must pay for it at the contract rate.Chapter III
OBLIGATIONS OF THE BUYER
Article 53 The buyer must pay the price for the goods and take delivery of them as required by the contract and this Convention.Section I.Payment of the price
Article 54 The buyer's obligation to pay the price includes taking such steps and complying with such formalities as may be required under the contract or any laws and regulations to enable payment to be made.Article 55 Where a contract has been validly concluded but does not expressly or implicitly fix or make provision for determining the price, the parties are considered, in the absence of any indication to the contrary, to have impliedly made reference to the price generally charged at the time of the conclusion of the contract for such goods sold under comparable circumstances in the trade concerned.Article 56 If the price is fixed according to the weight of the goods, in case of doubt it is to be determined by the net weight.Article 57(1)If the buyer is not bound to pay the price at any other particular place, he must pay it to the seller:(a)at the seller's place of business;or(b)if the payment is to be made against the handing over of the goods or of documents, at the place where the handing over takes place.(2)The seller must bear any increases in the expenses incidental to payment which is caused by a change in his place of business subsequent to the conclusion of the contract.Article 58(1)If the buyer is not bound to pay the price at any other specific time, he must pay it when the seller places either the goods or documents controlling their disposition at the buyer's disposal in accordance with the contract and this Convention.The seller may make such payment a condition for handing over the goods or documents.(2)If the contract involves carriage of the goods, the seller may dispatch the goods on terms whereby the goods, or documents controlling their disposition, will not be handed over to the buyer except against payment of the price.(3)The buyer is not bound to pay the price until he has had an opportunity to examine the goods, unless the procedures for delivery or payment agreed upon by the parties are inconsistent with his having such an opportunity.Article 59 The buyer must pay the price on the date fixed by or determinable from the contract and this Convention without the need for any request or compliance with any formality on the part of the seller.Section II.Taking delivery
Article 60 The buyer's obligation to take delivery consists:(a)in doing all the acts which could reasonably be expected of him in order to enable the seller to make delivery;and(b)in taking over the goods.Section III.Remedies for breach of contract by the buyer
Article 61(1)If the buyer fails to perform any of his obligations under the contract or this Convention, the seller may:(a)exercise the rights provided in articles 62 to 65;(b)claim damages as provided in articles 74 to 77.(2)The seller is not deprived of any right he may have to claim damages by exercising his right to other remedies.(3)No period of grace may be granted to the buyer by a court or arbitral tribunal when the seller resorts to a remedy for breach of contract.Article 62 The seller may require the buyer to pay the price, take delivery or perform his other obligations, unless the seller has resorted to a remedy which is inconsistent with this requirement.Article 63(1)The seller may fix an additional period of time of reasonable length for performance by the buyer of his obligations.(2)Unless the seller has received notice from the buyer that he will not perform within the period so fixed, the seller may not, during that period, resort to any remedy for breach of contract.However, the seller is not deprived thereby of any right he may have to claim damages for delay in performance.Article 64(1)The seller may declare the contract avoided:(a)if the failure by the buyer to perform any of his obligations under the contract or this Convention amounts to a fundamental breach of contract;or(b)if the buyer does not, within the additional period of time fixed by the seller in accordance with paragraph(1)of article 63, perform his obligation to pay the price or take delivery of the goods, or if he declares that he will not do so within the period so fixed.(2)However, in cases where the buyer has paid the price, the seller loses the right to declare the contract avoided unless he does so:(a)in respect of late performance by the buyer, before the seller has become aware that performance has been rendered;or(b)in respect of any breach other than late performance by the buyer, within a reasonable time:(i)after the seller knew or ought to have known of the breach;or(ii)after the expiration of any additional period of time fixed by the seller in accordance with paragraph(1)of article 63, or after the buyer has declared that he will not perform his obligations within such an additional period.Article 65(1)If under the contract the buyer is to specify the form, measurement or other features of the goods and he fails to make such specification either on the date agreed upon or within a reasonable time after receipt of a request from the seller, the seller may, without prejudice to any other rights he may have, make the specification himself in accordance with the requirements of the buyer that may be known to him.(2)If the seller makes the specification himself, he must inform the buyer of the details thereof and must fix a reasonable time within which the buyer may make a different specification.If, after receipt of such a communication, the buyer fails to do so within the time so fixed, the specification made by the seller is binding.Chapter IV PASSING OF RISK
Article 66 Loss of or damage to the goods after the risk has passed to the buyer does not discharge him from his obligation to pay the price, unless the loss or damage is due to an act or omission of the seller.Article 67(1)If the contract of sale involves carriage of the goods and the seller is not bound to hand them over at a particular place, the risk passes to the buyer when the goods are handed over to the first carrier for transmission to the buyer in accordance with the contract of sale.If the seller is bound to hand the goods over to a carrier at a particular place, the risk does not pass to the buyer until the goods are handed over to the carrier at that place.The fact that the seller is authorized to retain documents controlling the disposition of the goods does not affect the passage of the risk.(2)Nevertheless, the risk does not pass to the buyer until the goods are clearly identified to the contract, whether by markings on the goods, by shipping documents, by notice given to the buyer or otherwise.Article 68 The risk in respect of goods sold in transit passes to the buyer from the time of the conclusion of the contract.However, if the circumstances so indicate, the risk is assumed by the buyer from the time the goods were handed over to the carrier who issued the documents embodying the contract of carriage.Nevertheless, if at the time of the conclusion of the contract of sale the seller knew or ought to have known that the goods had been lost or damaged and did not disclose this to the buyer, the loss or damage is at the risk of the seller.Article 69(1)In cases not within articles 67 and 68, the risk passes to the buyer when he takes over the goods or, if he does not do so in due time, from the time when the goods are placed at his disposal and he commits a breach of contract by failing to take delivery.(2)However, if the buyer is bound to take over the goods at a place other than a place of business of the seller, the risk passes when delivery is due and the buyer is aware of the fact that the goods are placed at his disposal at that place.(3)If the contract relates to goods not then identified, the goods are considered not to be placed at the disposal of the buyer until they are clearly identified to the contract.Article 70 If the seller has committed a fundamental breach of contract, articles 67, 68 and 69 do not impair the remedies available to the buyer on account of the breach.Chapter V PROVISIONS COMMON TO THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE SELLER AND OF THE BUYER Section I.Anticipatory breach and instalment contracts
Article 71(1)A party may suspend the performance of his obligations if, after the conclusion of the contract, it becomes apparent that the other party will not perform a substantial part of his obligations as a result of:(a)a serious deficiency in his ability to perform or in his creditworthiness;or(b)his conduct in preparing to perform or in performing the contract.(2)If the seller has already dispatched the goods before the grounds described in the preceding paragraph become evident, he may prevent the handing over of the goods to the buyer even though the buyer holds a document which entitles him to obtain them.The present paragraph relates only to the rights in the goods as between the buyer and the seller.(3)A party suspending performance, whether before or after dispatch of the goods, must immediately give notice of the suspension to the other party and must continue with performance if the other party provides adequate assurance of his performance.Article 72(1)If prior to the date for performance of the contract it is clear that one of the parties will commit a fundamental breach of contract, the other party may declare the contract avoided.(2)If time allows, the party intending to declare the contract avoided must give reasonable notice to the other party in order to permit him to provide adequate assurance of his performance.(3)The requirements of the preceding paragraph do not apply if the other party has declared that he will not perform his obligations.Article 73(1)In the case of a contract for delivery of goods by instalments, if the failure of one party to perform any of his obligations in respect of any instalment constitutes a fundamental breach of contract with respect to that instalment, the other party may declare the contract avoided with respect to that instalment.(2)If one party's failure to perform any of his obligations in respect of any instalment gives the other party good grounds to conclude that a fundamental breach of contract will occur with respect to future instalments, he may declare the contract avoided for the future, provided that he does so within a reasonable time.(3)A buyer who declares the contract avoided in respect of any delivery may, at the same time, declare it avoided in respect of deliveries already made or of future deliveries if, by reason of their interdependence, those deliveries could not be used for the purpose contemplated by the parties at the time of the conclusion of the contract.Section II.Damages
Article 74 Damages for breach of contract by one party consist of a sum equal to the loss, including loss of profit, suffered by the other party as a consequence of the breach.Such damages may not exceed the loss which the party in breach foresaw or ought to have foreseen at the time of the conclusion of the contract, in the light of the facts and matters of which he then knew or ought to have known, as a possible consequence of the breach of contract.Article 75 If the contract is avoided and if, in a reasonable manner and within a reasonable time after avoidance, the buyer has bought goods in replacement or the seller has resold the goods, the party claiming damages may recover the difference between the contract price and the price in the substitute transaction as well as any further damages recoverable under article 74.Article 76(1)If the contract is avoided and there is a current price for the goods, the party claiming damages may, if he has not made a purchase or resale under article 75, recover the difference between the price fixed by the contract and the current price at the time of avoidance as well as any further damages recoverable under article 74.If, however, the party claiming damages has avoided the contract after taking over the goods, the current price at the time of such taking over shall be applied instead of the current price at the time of avoidance.(2)For the purposes of the preceding paragraph, the current price is the price prevailing at the place where delivery of the goods should have been made or, if there is no current price at that place, the price at such other place as serves as a reasonable substitute, making due allowance for differences in the cost of transporting the goods.Article 77 A party who relies on a breach of contract must take such measures as are reasonable in the circumstances to mitigate the loss, including loss of profit, resulting from the breach.If he fails to take such measures, the party in breach may claim a reduction in the damages in the amount by which the loss should have been mitigated.Section III.Interest
Article 78 If a party fails to pay the price or any other sum that is in arrears, the other party is entitled to interest on it, without prejudice to any claim for damages recoverable under article 74.Section IV.Exemptions
Article 79(1)A party is not liable for a failure to perform any of his obligations if he proves that the failure was due to an impediment beyond his control and that he could not reasonably be expected to have taken the impediment into account at the time of the conclusion of the contract or to have avoided or overcome it or its consequences.(2)If the party's failure is due to the failure by a third person whom he has engaged to perform the whole or a part of the contract, that party is exempt from liability only if:(a)he is exempt under the preceding paragraph;and(b)the person whom he has so engaged would be so exempt if the provisions of that paragraph were applied to him.(3)The exemption provided by this article has effect for the period during which the impediment exists.(4)The party who fails to perform must give notice to the other party of the impediment and its effect on his ability to perform.If the notice is not received by the other party within a reasonable time after the party who fails to perform knew or ought to have known of the impediment, he is liable for damages resulting from such non-receipt.(5)Nothing in this article prevents either party from exercising any right other than to claim damages under this Convention.Article 80 A party may not rely on a failure of the other party to perform, to the extent that such failure was caused by the first party's act or omission.Section V.Effects of avoidance
Article 81(1)Avoidance of the contract releases both parties from their obligations under it, subject to any damages which may be due.Avoidance does not affect any provision of the contract for the settlement of disputes or any other provision of the contract governing the rights and obligations of the parties consequent upon the avoidance of the contract.(2)A party who has performed the contract either wholly or in part may claim restitution from the other party of whatever the first party has supplied or paid under the contract.If both parties are bound to make restitution, they must do so concurrently.Article 82(1)The buyer loses the right to declare the contract avoided or to require the seller to deliver substitute goods if it is impossible for him to make restitution of the goods substantially in the condition in which he received them.(2)The preceding paragraph does not apply:(a)if the impossibility of making restitution of the goods or of making restitution of the goods substantially in the condition in which the buyer received them is not due to his act or omission;(b)if the goods or part of the goods have perished or deteriorated as a result of the examination provided for in article 38;or(c)if the goods or part of the goods have been sold in the normal course of business or have been consumed or transformed by the buyer in the course of normal use before he discovered or ought to have discovered the lack of conformity.Article 83 A buyer who has lost the right to declare the contract avoided or to require the seller to deliver substitute goods in accordance with article 82 retains all other remedies under the contract and this Convention.Article 84(1)If the seller is bound to refund the price, he must also pay interest on it, from the date on which the price was paid.(2)The buyer must account to the seller for all benefits which he has derived from the goods or part of them:(a)if he must make restitution of the goods or part of them;or(b)if it is impossible for him to make restitution of all or part of the goods or to make restitution of all or part of the goods substantially in the condition in which he received them, but he has nevertheless declared the contract avoided or required the seller to deliver substitute goods.Section VI.Preservation of the goods
Article 85 If the buyer is in delay in taking delivery of the goods or, where payment of the price and delivery of the goods are to be made concurrently, if he fails to pay the price, and the seller is either in possession of the goods or otherwise able to control their disposition, the seller must take such steps as are reasonable in the circumstances to preserve them.He is entitled to retain them until he has been reimbursed his reasonable expenses by the buyer.Article 86(1)If the buyer has received the goods and intends to exercise any right under the contract or this Convention to reject them, he must take such steps to preserve them as are reasonable in the circumstances.He is entitled to retain them until he has been reimbursed his reasonable expenses by the seller.(2)If goods dispatched to the buyer have been placed at his disposal at their destination and he exercises the right to reject them, he must take possession of them on behalf of the seller, provided that this can be done without payment of the price and without unreasonable inconvenience or unreasonable expense.This provision does not apply if the seller or a person authorized to take charge of the goods on his behalf is present at the destination.If the buyer takes possession of the goods under this paragraph, his rights and obligations are governed by the preceding paragraph.Article 87 A party who is bound to take steps to preserve the goods may deposit them in a warehouse of a third person at the expense of the other party provided that the expense incurred is not unreasonable.Article 88(1)A party who is bound to preserve the goods in accordance with article 85 or 86 may sell them by any appropriate means if there has been an unreasonable delay by the other party in taking possession of the goods or in taking them back or in paying the price or the cost of preservation, provided that reasonable notice of the intention to sell has been given to the other party.(2)If the goods are subject to rapid deterioration or their preservation would involve unreasonable expense, a party who is bound to preserve the goods in accordance with article 85 or 86 must take reasonable measures to sell them.To the extent possible he must give notice to the other party of his intention to sell.(3)A party selling the goods has the right to retain out of the proceeds of sale an amount equal to the reasonable expenses of preserving the goods and of selling them.He must account to the other party for the balance.PART IV FINAL PROVISIONS

第二篇:《聯(lián)合國國際貨物銷售合同公約》
(一)、《聯(lián)合國國際貨物銷售合同公約》
通過國際立法協(xié)調(diào)和統(tǒng)一各國在國際貨物買賣領(lǐng)域的法律是第二次世界大戰(zhàn)后國際貿(mào)易法發(fā)展的一個顯著特點。1964年在海牙外交會議上通過了由羅馬統(tǒng)一國際私法研究所起草的《國際貨物買賣統(tǒng)一法公約》(簡稱海牙第一公約)和《國際貨物買賣合同成立統(tǒng)一法公約》(簡稱海牙第二公約)。
海牙第一公約是關(guān)于國際貨物買賣雙方當事人權(quán)利、義務(wù)和風險轉(zhuǎn)移的公約,海牙第二公約是關(guān)于簽訂隔地合同的要約和承諾的公約。這兩個公約主要反映了以歐洲為主的立法與習慣,在地區(qū)和內(nèi)容上有很大的局限性,基本上屬于區(qū)域性的多邊條約,因此,需要有一個國際普遍適用的新的公約來代替這兩個公約。聯(lián)合國國際貿(mào)易法委員會從1964年開始將海牙第一公約與海牙第二公約的內(nèi)容予以合并,并進行修改補充,目的是為了使更多的國家能接受。委員會于1978年完成了《聯(lián)合國國際貨物銷售合同公約》的起草工作,1980年在維也納外交會議上討論并通過了此項公約,包括中國在內(nèi)的62個國家的代表參加了會議,公約共101條,主要內(nèi)容為公約的適用范圍、合同的成立、貨物銷售及最后條款;公約已對中國、美國、意大利、贊比亞、南斯拉夫、阿根廷、匈牙利、埃及、敘利亞、法國等34個國家生效。
1、公約的適用范圍。公約第1條規(guī)定:“本公約適用于營業(yè)地在不同國家的當事人之間訂立的貨物銷售合同”。
公約強調(diào)當事人營業(yè)地位于不同國家的事實,并規(guī)定“在確定本公約的適用時,當事人的國籍和當事人或合同的民事或商業(yè)性質(zhì),應(yīng)不予考慮?!?/p>
公約第2條列舉了六類不適用公約的銷售:
(1)購買供私人、家人或家庭使用的貨物的銷售;
(2)經(jīng)由拍賣的銷售;
(3)根據(jù)法律執(zhí)行令狀或其他令狀的銷售;
(4)公債、股票、投資證券、流通票據(jù)或貨幣的銷售;
(5)船舶、船只、氣墊船或飛機的銷售;
(6)電力的銷售。
鑒于這六種買賣交易性質(zhì)、交易方法及標的物的特殊性,不在公約適用范圍之內(nèi).此外,公約第4條規(guī)定,其適用范圍只限于合同的訂立及買賣雙方因合同而產(chǎn)生的權(quán)利和義務(wù)。
2、合同的形式與成立
(1)合同的形式。公約第11條規(guī)定:“銷售合同無須以書面訂立或書面證明,在形式方面也不受任何其他條件的限制,銷售合同可以用包括人證在內(nèi)的任何方法證明?!钡枪s允許締約國對這一條提出保留。
(2)合同的成立。公約第二部分對于要約和承諾的有關(guān)問題作了詳細的規(guī)定,其具體內(nèi)容與本章“國際貨物買賣合同的訂立”所述相同,但在對待承諾是否必須無條件地接受要約所提出的交易條件這一問題上,公約第19條作了一些變通的規(guī)定,公約將對要約條件的添加、修改劃分為實質(zhì)性修改和非實質(zhì)性修改兩類。凡是有關(guān)貨物的價格、付款、貨物質(zhì)量和數(shù)量、交貨地點和時間、一方當事人對另一方當事人的賠償責任范圍或爭議的解決等等內(nèi)容的添加或修改,均被視為實質(zhì)性的變更。除此以外的其他次要條件的添加或修改則被視作非實質(zhì)性修改;只有實質(zhì)性的修改才構(gòu)成對原要約的拒絕并構(gòu)成新要約,而非實質(zhì)性修改不影響承諾的有效性。
3、買賣雙方的義務(wù)。從法律上講,國際貨物買賣合同是一種雙務(wù)、有償合同,買賣雙方當事人都應(yīng)嚴格按照合同規(guī)定履行義務(wù)。公約對買賣雙方的義務(wù)作了如下明確的規(guī)定.(1)賣方的義務(wù)。公約第30條規(guī)定:“賣方必須按照合同和本公約的規(guī)定,交付貨物,移交一切與貨物有關(guān)的單據(jù)并轉(zhuǎn)移貨物所有權(quán)?!备鶕?jù)這一規(guī)定,賣方的義務(wù)主要有以
下三項:
第一,交付貨物。賣方必須按照合同規(guī)定的時間、地點、方式完成交付貨物的義務(wù)。如果合同沒有規(guī)定交貨的具體時間,賣方應(yīng)在訂立合同后一段合理時間內(nèi)交貨,賣方所交付的貨物必須與合同所規(guī)定的貨物數(shù)量、質(zhì)量和規(guī)格相符,并且必須按照合同所規(guī)定的方式裝箱或包裝,賣方交付的貨物還必須是任何第三方不能提出權(quán)利和要求的貨物,即賣方對其出售的貨物享有合法的權(quán)利。
第二,移交單據(jù)。公約規(guī)定:如果賣方有義務(wù)移交與貨物有關(guān)的單據(jù),必須按照合同所規(guī)定的時間、地點和方式移交這些單據(jù);如果賣方在這個時間以前已移交這些單據(jù),他可以在這個時間到達前糾正單據(jù)中任何不符合合同規(guī)定的內(nèi)容。但是,這一權(quán)利的行使不得使買方遭受不合理的不便或承擔不合理的開支,但買方保留本公約所規(guī)定的要求損害賠償?shù)娜魏螜?quán)利。
第三,轉(zhuǎn)移貨物的所有權(quán)。這是買賣合同主要的法律特征,也是買賣雙方訂立買賣合同的直接目的。
(2)買方的義務(wù)。按照公約的規(guī)定,買方必須按照合同與公約的規(guī)定支付貨物價款和收取貨物,根據(jù)這一規(guī)定,買方主要有以下兩項義務(wù):
第一,支付價款。公約規(guī)定,買方必須嚴格根據(jù)合同或有關(guān)法律規(guī)定的步驟和手續(xù)支付價款。如果合同已有效地訂立,但沒有明示或默示地規(guī)定價格或規(guī)定如何確定價格,在沒有任何相反表示的情況下,雙方當事人應(yīng)視為已默示地引用訂立合同時此種貨物在有關(guān)貿(mào)易的類似情況下銷售的通常價格,如果價格是按貨物的重量規(guī)定的,如有疑問,應(yīng)按凈重確定。
第二,收取貨物。公約第60條規(guī)定了買方有關(guān)收取貨物的兩項義務(wù):①采取一切理應(yīng)采取的行動,以期賣方能交付貨物;②接受貨物。
4、違約救濟方法。違約的救濟方法是指一方當事人違約而使另一方當事人的權(quán)利受到損害時,受損害一方為了取得補償依照法律所采取的措施。公約對買賣雙方違約的救濟方法作了明確規(guī)定:
(1)賣方違約的救濟方法。公約對賣方違約的救濟方法作了詳盡的規(guī)定,按照公約規(guī)定:一方當事人違反合同的行為,只有構(gòu)成“根本違反合同”,買方才有權(quán)撤銷合同,并依法得到補償。公約對以下幾種賣方違約行為分別規(guī)定了不同的救濟方法:
第一,賣方拒不交貨。公約根據(jù)賣方拒不交貨所造成的損失的程度,對拒不交貨的賣方采取以下幾種救濟方法:①要求賣方履行合同義務(wù)。公約規(guī)定,賣方拒不交貨時,買方可以要求賣方履行合同義務(wù),除非買方已采取與此一要求相抵觸的某種補救辦法;如買方已宣告撤銷合同,就不能再要求賣方履行義務(wù);②撤銷合同。公約規(guī)定,當賣方的行為構(gòu)成根本違約時,買方可以撤銷合同,宣告原合同無效。但撤銷合同時必須向賣方發(fā)出通知;③請求損害賠償。公約規(guī)定,對于賣方違約所造成的損失,買方有權(quán)要求賣方予以賠償,即使買方已經(jīng)采取了其他救濟方法,但對于因賣方違反合同所遭受的損失,仍有權(quán)要求賣方賠償損失。
第二,賣方遲延交貨。公約規(guī)定,賣方遲延交貨構(gòu)成根本違反合同時,買方有權(quán)撤銷合同,但賣方遲延交貨的行為尚未構(gòu)成根本違反合同時,買方可以規(guī)定一段合理時限的額外時間,讓賣方履行義務(wù),如賣方在這一時間仍不交貨,買方即可撤銷合同,并要求賣方賠償因遲延交貨所造成的損失。
第三,賣方所交貨物與合同不符。公約規(guī)定,賣方所交貨物的品質(zhì)、規(guī)格、數(shù)量或包裝等方面與合同不符時,買方可以要求賣方另行交付一批符合合同要求的貨物,以替代不符合合同的貨物,也可以要求賣方對不符合合同的貨物進行修補,或者根據(jù)具體情況減低貨物的價格,當賣方所交貨物不符合合同而構(gòu)成根本違反合同時,買方還可以撤銷合同,并要
求賣方賠償損失。
(2)買方違約的救濟方法。公約第三章第三節(jié)對買方違約的救濟方式作了詳盡規(guī)定:第一,要求買方履行合同義務(wù)。公約規(guī)定,當買方違反合同拒付貨款、拒收貨物或不履行其他義務(wù)時,賣方可以要求買方支付貨款、收取貨物或履行其他義務(wù),除非賣方已采取與此一要求相抵觸的某種補救辦法。
第二,撤銷合同。公約規(guī)定,當買方不履行合同構(gòu)成根本違反合同時,賣方可以立即撤銷合同,但尚未構(gòu)成根本違反合同時,賣方可以規(guī)定一段合理的額外時間讓買方履行義務(wù),如時間屆滿買方仍不履行義務(wù),賣方即可撤銷合同。
第三,請求損害賠償。公約規(guī)定,買方違約造成賣方損失時,賣方可請求損害賠償。賠償額應(yīng)與賣方因買方違約而遭受的包括利潤在內(nèi)的損失額相等,對于買方拖欠的貨款以及其他金額,賣方還有權(quán)收取利息。
5、風險的轉(zhuǎn)移。公約第四章根據(jù)各種貨物不同的運輸與交付情況,對貨物風險轉(zhuǎn)移的時間和地點作了規(guī)定:
第一,規(guī)定特定地點交貨的,風險于該地點轉(zhuǎn)移,公約規(guī)定,如果賣方有義務(wù)在某一特定地點把貨物交付給承運人,在貨物于該地點交付給承運人之前,風險不轉(zhuǎn)移給買方;賣方受權(quán)保留控制貨物處置權(quán)的單據(jù),并不影響風險的轉(zhuǎn)移。
第二,涉及運輸?shù)呢浳?,未?guī)定特定地點交貨的,風險于貨物交付給第一承運人時轉(zhuǎn)移。
第三,運輸途中出售的貨物,風險于訂立合同時轉(zhuǎn)移。
第四,在其他情況下,風險自買方接受貨物時轉(zhuǎn)移。公約規(guī)定,在不屬于上述幾種情況下,從買方接受貨物時起,或如果買方不在適當時間內(nèi)收受貨物,則從貨物交給他處置但他不收取貨物而違反合同時起,風險轉(zhuǎn)移到買方。
6、賠償額的計算。根據(jù)公約規(guī)定,一方當事人違反合同應(yīng)負的損害賠償額,應(yīng)與另一方當事人因他違反合同而遭受的包括利潤在內(nèi)的損失額相等。這種損害賠償不得超過違反合同一方在訂立合同時,依照他當時已知道或理應(yīng)知道的事實和情況,對違反合同預(yù)料到或理應(yīng)預(yù)料到的損失。如果賣方的行為已構(gòu)成根本違反合同時,買方可以撤銷合同,宣布合同無效,并在宣告無效后一段合理時期內(nèi),以合理的方式購買替代貨物。在此情況下,買方可以取得原定合同價格和替代貨物交易價格之間的差價。當合同被宣告無效,而貨物又有時價時,如果受損的買方?jīng)]有購買替代貨物,則可以取得合同規(guī)定的價格和宣告無效合同時的時價之間的差價以及其他任何損害賠償,但是,如果要求損害賠償?shù)囊环皆诮邮茇浳镏笮婧贤瑹o效,則應(yīng)適用接收貨物時的時價,而不是宣告合同無效時的時價。公約還規(guī)定,遭受損失的一方必須根據(jù)情況采取合理措施,減輕由于違約行為而引起的損失,否則,違約一方可以要求從損害賠償中扣除原可以減輕的損失數(shù)額。
7、根本違反合同與預(yù)期違反合同公約將當事人的違約分為根本違反合同與預(yù)期違反合同兩類。公約第25條規(guī)定:“一方當事人違反合同的結(jié)果,如使另一方當事人蒙受損害,以致于實際上剝奪了他根據(jù)合同規(guī)定有權(quán)期待得到的東西,即為根本違反合同。”公約規(guī)定,只有一方的行為構(gòu)成根本違反合同時,另一方才可以撤銷合同,宣告原合同無效.根據(jù)公約第71條的規(guī)定,如果訂立合同以后,一方當事人明顯地預(yù)見到,另一方當事人履行合同義務(wù)的能力或信用有嚴重缺陷,或者其準備履行合同或履行合同中的行為顯然不能履行其在合同中承擔的大部分重要義務(wù),這一不能履行合同的行為即為預(yù)期違反合同,公約規(guī)定,一方當事人預(yù)期違反合同時,另一方當事人可以中止履行合同義務(wù)并立即通知違約方,如果預(yù)期違約方對履行義務(wù)提出充分保證,則不能中止履行合同義務(wù)。
8、免責有關(guān)免責的根據(jù),公約第79條提出了“非所能控制的障礙”(AnImpedimentbeyondone′sControl)的概念。公約規(guī)定,當事人由于
某種非他所能控制的障礙而無法履行合同義務(wù),則不負責任,構(gòu)成“非所能控制的障礙”的條件是:不履行合同義務(wù)的一方?jīng)]有理由在訂立合同時預(yù)期能考慮到這種障礙;沒有理由能預(yù)期避免這種障礙或其后果;沒有理由能預(yù)期克服這種障礙或其后果,公約規(guī)定只有在“非所能控制的障礙存在期間”,才能免除不履行合同義務(wù)一方當事人的責任,但該當事人應(yīng)將所發(fā)生的這種障礙及其對履行合同義務(wù)的影響通知另一方當事人,否則該方當事人應(yīng)對損害負賠償責任。
(二)、《國際貨物買賣時效期限公約》
1974年6月14日,英、美、法、日、聯(lián)邦德國、印度等六十六個國家的外交代表在紐約舉行外交代表會議,討論通過了《聯(lián)合國國際貨物買賣時效期限公約》。
1980年在維也納召開外交代表會議討論制定《聯(lián)合國國際貨物銷售合同公約》時,為了使它與時效公約在適用范圍上保持一致,對時效公約的適用范圍作了修訂,于是通過了《國際貨物銷售時效期限公約的議定書》。
1、時效期限的期間和起始。公約規(guī)定,時效期限應(yīng)為4年。時效期限應(yīng)自請求權(quán)產(chǎn)生之日起算,公約對于下述幾種請求權(quán)的起始作了具體規(guī)定:
(1)因違約而引起的請求權(quán)應(yīng)在違約行為發(fā)生之日產(chǎn)生;
(2)因貨物有瑕疵或不符契約規(guī)定而引起的請求權(quán),應(yīng)在貨物實際交付買方或買方拒絕接受之日產(chǎn)生;
(3)因欺詐行為而提出的請求權(quán),應(yīng)在該項欺詐被發(fā)現(xiàn)或理應(yīng)被發(fā)現(xiàn)之日產(chǎn)生;(4)因保證期而產(chǎn)生的請求權(quán),應(yīng)在保證期內(nèi)買方將事實通知賣方之日產(chǎn)生;(5)因聲明終止合同而產(chǎn)生的請求權(quán),應(yīng)在作出此項聲明之日產(chǎn)生:
(6)因違背分期交貨或分期付款契約而引起的請求權(quán),自每期違約行為發(fā)生之日起,計算請求權(quán)的時效期限。
2、時效期限的停止和延長。公約規(guī)定在下列情況下,時效期限應(yīng)停止計算:
(1)債權(quán)人依法向法院提起了訴訟;
(2)債權(quán)人依仲裁協(xié)議提起了仲裁;
(3)債務(wù)人死亡或喪失權(quán)利能力;
(4)債務(wù)人破產(chǎn)或無清償能力:
(5)作為債務(wù)人的公司、商號、合伙、會社或團體的解散或清算。公約規(guī)定,如債務(wù)人在時效期限屆滿之前以書面向債權(quán)人承認其所負的債務(wù),一個新的4年時效期限應(yīng)自此種承認之日起算;公約第21條規(guī)定:“如由于債權(quán)人無法控制或不能避免或克服的情況,債權(quán)人不應(yīng)使時效期限停止計算,時效期限應(yīng)予延長,使之不致在有關(guān)情況消失之日起一年期滿之前即行屆滿”
3、時效期限的計算。公約規(guī)定,時效期限的計算,應(yīng)在與該期限起算之日的對應(yīng)日期終結(jié)時屆滿;如無此種對應(yīng)日期,該期限應(yīng)在時效期限的最后一個月的最末一日終結(jié)時屆滿;如時效期限的最后一日恰逢法定假日或休閑日,可以順延。公約規(guī)定,時效期限應(yīng)依照法律程序地點的日期計算。
第三篇:聯(lián)合國國際貨物銷售合同公約主要內(nèi)容
聯(lián)合國國際貨物銷售合同公約主要內(nèi)容
1.公約的基本原則。建立國際經(jīng)濟新秩序的原則、平等互利原則與兼顧不同社會、經(jīng)濟和法律制度的原則。這些基本原則是執(zhí)行、解釋和修訂公約的依據(jù),也是處理國際貨物買賣關(guān)系和發(fā)展國際貿(mào)易關(guān)系的準繩。
2.適用范圍。第一,公約只適用于國際貨物買賣合同,即營業(yè)地在不同國家的雙方當事人之間所訂立的貨物買賣合同,但對某些貨物的國際買賣不能適用該公約作了明確規(guī)定。第二,公約適用于當事人在締約國內(nèi)有營業(yè)地的合同,但如果根據(jù)適用于“合同”的沖突規(guī)范,該“合同”應(yīng)適用某一締約國的法律,在這種情況下也應(yīng)適用“銷售合同公約”,而不管合同當事人在該締約國有無營業(yè)所。對此規(guī)定,締約國在批準或者加入時可以聲明保留。第三,雙方當事人可以在合同中明確規(guī)定不適用該公約。(適用范圍不允許締約國保留)
3.合同的訂立。包括合同的形式和發(fā)盤(要約)與接受(承諾)的法律效力。
4.買方和賣方的權(quán)利義務(wù)。第一,賣方責任主要表現(xiàn)為三項義
中國招標師在線網(wǎng)
務(wù):交付貨物;移交一切與貨物有關(guān)的單據(jù);移轉(zhuǎn)貨物的所有權(quán)。第二,買方的責任主要表現(xiàn)為兩項義務(wù):支付貨物價款;收取貨物。第三,詳細規(guī)定賣方和買方違反合同時的補救辦法。第四,規(guī)定了風險轉(zhuǎn)移的幾種情況。第五,明確了根本違反合同和預(yù)期違反合同的含義以及當這種情況發(fā)生時,當事人雙方所應(yīng)履行的義務(wù)。第六,對免責根據(jù)的條件作了明確的規(guī)定。

第四篇:聯(lián)合國銷售合同公約考點
《1980聯(lián)合國國際貨物銷售合同公約》
1.公約的適用―――國際貨物買賣合同
(1)“國際”買賣:
1)當事人營業(yè)地在不同締約國,當事人如擁有一個以上的營業(yè)地,則采取與合同及合同的履行關(guān)系最密切的營業(yè)地為其營業(yè)地。
2)擴大適用(間接適用)―――非締約國當事人的合同,但合同的準據(jù)法是締約國如果非締約國當事人未作法律或公約的選擇,公約還可在下面情況下適用。公約第l條(1)款(B)項規(guī)定,對于當事人雙方或一方營業(yè)所所在地國不是締約國,如果國際私法規(guī)則導(dǎo)致適用某一締約國的法律時,公約可以適用于他們之間訂立的貨物買賣合同法律教育網(wǎng)。在這種情況下適用公約,須具備3個條件:A、貨物買賣合同具有國際性,即雙方當事人的營業(yè)地分處在不同國家;B、雙方當事人或一方當事人的營業(yè)地所在的國家不是公約締約國;
C、受理糾紛的法院或仲裁機構(gòu)根據(jù)國際私法規(guī)則認為該合同適用某一締約國的法律?!豆s》這一規(guī)定的目的旨在擴大公約的適用范圍,但允許締約國提出保留。
(2)“貨物”買賣:技術(shù)、服務(wù)、勞務(wù)貿(mào)易不適用;
《公約》不適用于合同中的主要部分是為提供勞務(wù)和服務(wù)而成立的貨物銷售合同。公約
第3條還排除了對提供貨物與提供服務(wù)相結(jié)合的合同的適用。依公約的規(guī)定,下列兩種合同排除適用:
1.通過勞務(wù)合作方式進行的購買,如補償貿(mào)易。
2.通過貨物買賣方式進行的勞務(wù)合作,如技貿(mào)結(jié)合。
《公約》的標準是看該合同中的絕大部分義務(wù)是銷售貨物還是提供勞務(wù)或服務(wù)。如果銷售貨物是主要的,則應(yīng)適用《公約》。反之,則不適用。
提供貨物:適用(大型成套設(shè)備銷售的交鑰匙合同)
混合合同:賣方絕大部分義務(wù)是提供服務(wù)、勞務(wù):不適用(來料加工)
――如果貨物和勞務(wù)可以分開,則公約可以只適用于貨物部分
(3)6種例外(不適用)
① 供私人、家人或家庭使用的貨物(個人消費)。除非賣方在訂立合同前任何時候或訂立合同時不知道而且沒有理由知道這些貨物是作任何這種使用的;
② 經(jīng)由拍賣銷售的物品;
③ 根據(jù)法律執(zhí)行令狀或其他令狀銷售的貨物;
④ 公債、股票、投資證券、流通票據(jù)或貨幣等有價證券;
⑤ 船舶、氣墊船或飛機;
⑥ 電力;
(4)公約不涉及的三個問題
① 合同的效力,或其任何條款的效力,或任何慣例的效力。
② 合同對所售貨物所有權(quán)可能產(chǎn)生的影響(所有權(quán)轉(zhuǎn)移規(guī)則)
③ 賣方對于貨物對任何人所造成的死亡或傷害的責任(產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量侵權(quán))
――注意:第③不包括財產(chǎn)侵權(quán)
(5)公約的任意性
① 締約國當事人可以通過選擇一個國家的法律來排除公約的適用。但是這種選擇必須明示。其要點是:A、當事人可以通過選擇一個國家的法律作準據(jù)法而排除80年公約的適用。B、當事人必須通過明示方式選擇法律,主要指選擇一個國家的國內(nèi)法。C、對國際貿(mào)易術(shù)語的選擇不構(gòu)成對80年公約的排除。D、如果沒作法律選擇,則公約就當然適用于他們之間訂立的買賣合同。
② 非締約國當事人可以選擇適用公約,可約定部分適用公約,可以改變公約內(nèi)容,但有限制,當事人營業(yè)地所在國在加入公約時已經(jīng)提出保留的內(nèi)容,當事人必須遵守,不得排除或改變。
(6)我國的兩個保留
① 擴大適用的保留:只能適用必須雙方營業(yè)地所在國都是公約的締約國
② 合同形式的保留:合同必須書面,排除口頭和其他形式
2.要約承諾規(guī)則(按國內(nèi)合同法掌握)
① 要約
(一)要約的概念及其構(gòu)成要件一項有效的要約須具備以下條件:
(1)要約應(yīng)向一個或一個以上特定的人提出。
(2)要約的內(nèi)容必須十分確定。依《公約》第14條的規(guī)定,要約中應(yīng)至少包含三個基本交易條件:A、貨物的名稱;B、貨物的數(shù)量或確定數(shù)量的方法;C、價格或確定價格的方法。
(3)表明要約人在得到接受時承受約束的意旨。
4.要約必須傳達到受要約人。
(二)要約的生效要約送達受要約人時生效。
(三)要約的撤回與撤銷
(1)要約的撤回要約的撤回,是指要約人在要約生效之前阻止要約生效的行為。因為要約在到達受要約人之前尚未產(chǎn)生法律效力,因此要約人可以撤回要約。只要撤回要約的通知先于要約到達受要約人即可撤回要約。即要約人撤回要約的條件是,撤回要約的通知必須于要約到達受要約人之前或同時送達受要約人。
(2)要約的撤銷要約人在要約送達受要約人后取消要約的行為稱為要約的撤銷。要約分為可撤銷的要約和不可撤銷的要約。對于不可撤銷的要約,只有撤回的問題。依公約第16條的規(guī)定,在未成立合同之前,也就是受要約人沒有承諾之前,要約可以撤銷,但是撤銷的通知必須在受要約人發(fā)出接受通知之前送達受要約人。
但在下列兩種情況下,要約不得撤銷:A、要約寫明接受要約的期限或以其他方式表示要約是不可撤銷的。B、受要約人有理由信賴該項要約是不可撤銷的,而且受要約人已本著對該要約的信賴行事。
(四)要約的失效在要約失效后,無論是要約人或受要約人均不再受要約的拘束,要約失效的原因主要有以下幾種情況:
(1)要約因有效期已過而失效,即要約因受要約人沒有在要約規(guī)定的期間內(nèi)做出有效的承諾而失去效力。
(2)要約因要約人的撤銷而失效。
(3)要約因受要約人的拒絕而失效。拒絕要約有兩種方式,一種是明確拒絕,即受要約人表示不接受要約的任何條件。另一種是反要約。這是指受要約人表示接受要約,但在接受通知中對要約的內(nèi)容做了擴張、限制或變更,以致實質(zhì)性地改變了要約的條件。這種實質(zhì)性改變要約內(nèi)容的接受在法律上稱為反要約。如果原要約人不接受受要約人提出的反要約,那么,受要約人提出的反要約實際上就是對要約的拒絕。
② 承諾承諾是受要約人按照要約所規(guī)定的方式,對要約的內(nèi)容表示同意的一種意思表示。要約一經(jīng)承諾,合同即告成立。承諾又被稱為“接受”。
(一)有效承諾須具備的條件
(1)須由受要約人做出,依公約第18條的規(guī)定,承諾的作出可以聲明或行為表示,但緘默或不作為本身不等于承諾。
(2)承諾須在要約規(guī)定的有效期間或合理的期間內(nèi)做出。理論上遲到的承諾或逾期的承諾,不是有效的承諾,而是新的要約,一般須經(jīng)原要約人承諾后才能成立合同。
(3)承諾須與要約的內(nèi)容一致。如果受要約人所表示的對要約的內(nèi)容有變更即是反要約,或稱為還價,反要約是對要約的拒絕,不能發(fā)生承諾的效力,它必須經(jīng)原要約人承諾后才能成立合同。
(二)公約規(guī)定的“實質(zhì)性變更”和“非實質(zhì)性變更”公約將受要約人對要約內(nèi)容的改變分為“實質(zhì)性變更”和“非實質(zhì)性變更”兩種。如果對要約內(nèi)容的改變屬于非實質(zhì)性變更,原則上
法律教育網(wǎng)可視為承諾,也就是說,只要要約人在合理時間內(nèi)沒有以口頭或書面通知提出異議,那么對要約內(nèi)容做了非實質(zhì)性改變的接受即構(gòu)成承諾。然而,如果承諾對要約內(nèi)容做了實質(zhì)性改變,則這種接受就不能構(gòu)成承諾,而是一項反要約?!豆s》規(guī)定,關(guān)于貨物價格、付款、貨物質(zhì)量和數(shù)量、交貨地點和時間、一方當事人對另一方當事人的賠償責任及解決爭端等的添加或不同條件,均視為在實質(zhì)上變更要約的條件?!a(chǎn)生反要約
(三)逾期的承諾逾期承諾又稱遲延的承諾,是指承諾通知到達要約人的時間已超過了要約規(guī)定的有效期或在要約未規(guī)定有效期的情況下而超過合理期時間。關(guān)于逾期承諾的效力,公約第21條并沒有一概地否定,而是分兩種情況,做了靈活的處理。
(1)因受要約人自己的遲延而造成的逾期承諾,該逾期承諾原則上無效。但如果要約人毫不遲延地用口頭或書面通知受要約人其接受該項承諾,則該逾期的承諾仍為有效的承諾。合同成立。
(2)因為傳遞中的延誤而使一項承諾逾期。該項逾期承諾產(chǎn)生法律上的效力,是一項有效的承諾,除非要約人毫不遲延地用口頭或書面通知受要約人,他認為其要約已經(jīng)失效。
(四)承諾生效的時間承諾一旦生效,合同即告成立,對于承諾生效的時間,英美法系國家和大陸法系國家分別采用不同的原則:
(1)發(fā)信主義(投郵生效主義):英國法認為,在以書信、電報做出承諾時,承諾的通知一經(jīng)投郵立即生效,合同即告成立。
(2)收信主義(到達生效主義):大陸法律教育網(wǎng)法系認為,承諾的通知必須于到達相對人時才生效,合同才成立。
(3)公約的觀點:公約采納了收信主義。依公約第18條第(2)款的規(guī)定,對要約所作的承諾,應(yīng)于表示同意的通知送達要約人時生效。
(五)承諾的撤回依公約第22條的規(guī)定,承諾可以撤回,只要撤回的通知應(yīng)在承諾生效之前或與其同時送達要約人。
3.雙方義務(wù)
(1)賣方的擔保義務(wù)①符合產(chǎn)品的通常使用目的②符合特定使用目的(買方事先明示、默示)
A、質(zhì)量上合格:有約定依約定,無約定 ③符合樣品或樣式(品質(zhì)擔保)④包裝:通用方式——足以保全貨物的方式例外:買方訂約時明知有缺陷
所有權(quán)上無瑕疵:貨物屬賣方、未設(shè)定擔保物權(quán)買方營業(yè)地國家B、權(quán)利上無瑕疵: 在約定的目的地國不侵權(quán)(權(quán)利擔保)知識產(chǎn)權(quán)上無瑕疵 約定的轉(zhuǎn)售第三國依目的地國法不侵權(quán))在未約定的轉(zhuǎn)售第三國例外 買方提供技術(shù)圖樣、圖案、款式或其他規(guī)格買方訂約時已知或不可能不知第三人權(quán)利
(2)買方的接收貨物的義務(wù)
1)正常情況:買方應(yīng)按時間按地點提取貨物(如FOB,買方應(yīng)及時派船到裝港)
2)賣方有違約:先接收再索賠(注意保全、防損擴大)(接收不等于接受)
4.風險轉(zhuǎn)移(依國內(nèi)合同法掌握)
(1)賣方安排運輸,貨交承運人時
(2)在途貨物,自合同成立時(不是提單交付時)
(3)買方安排運輸時,貨交買方支配時
(4)特定化(劃撥)是風險發(fā)生轉(zhuǎn)移的前提條件。
(5)從交貨時間起,風險從賣方移于買方。這一原則的適用前提是賣方無違約行為。假若賣方發(fā)生違約行為,則風險不由賣方轉(zhuǎn)給買方,貨物滅失和損壞的風險還是由賣方承擔。
5.違約補救宣告合同無效(解除合同):對方根本違約;或者寬限期內(nèi)仍不履行合同買方要求交付替代物:賣方交貨不符合同,且構(gòu)成根本違約重點 一方采取其他補救措施,不妨礙其同時提出損害賠償損法律教諭罔害賠償 數(shù)額:等于損失額(包括利潤)
第五篇:聯(lián)合國國際貨物銷售合同公約
《聯(lián)合國國際貨物銷售合同公約》(United Nations Convention on Contracts of International Sales of Goods)是由聯(lián)合國國際貿(mào)易法委員會主持制定的,1980年在維也納舉行的外交會議上獲得通過。公約于1988年1月1日正式生效。1986年12月11日我國交存核準書,在提交核準書時,提出了兩項保留意見:1.不同意擴大《公約》的適用范圍,只同意《公約》適用于締約國的當事人之間簽訂的合同。2.不同意用書面以外的其他形式訂立、修改和終止合同。

編輯本段主要內(nèi)容
《聯(lián)合國國際貨物買賣合同公約》共分為四個部分:(1)適用范圍;(2)合同的成立;
(3)貨物買賣;(4)最后條款。全文共101條。公約的主要內(nèi)容包括以下四個方面:1.公約的基本原則。建立國際經(jīng)濟新秩序的原則、平等互利原則與兼顧不同社會、經(jīng)濟和法律制度的原則。這些基本原則是執(zhí)行、解釋和修訂公約的依據(jù),也是處理國際貨物買賣關(guān)系和發(fā)展國際貿(mào)易關(guān)系的準繩。2.適用范圍。第一,公約只適用于國際貨物買賣合同,即營業(yè)地在不同國家的雙方當事人之間所訂立的貨物買賣合同,但對某些貨物的國際買賣不能適用該公約作了明確規(guī)定。第二,公約適用于當事人在締約國內(nèi)有營業(yè)地的合同,但如果根據(jù)適用于“合同”的沖突規(guī)范,該“合同”應(yīng)適用某一締約國的法律,在這種情況下也應(yīng)適用“銷售合同公約”,而不管合同當事人在該締約國有無營業(yè)所。對此規(guī)定,締約國在批準或者加入時可以聲明保留。第三,雙方當事人可以在合同中明確規(guī)定不適用該公約。(適用范圍不允許締約國保留)3.合同的訂立。包括合同的形式和發(fā)價(要約)與接受(承諾)的法律效力。4.買方和賣方的權(quán)利義務(wù)。第一,賣方責任主要表現(xiàn)為三項義務(wù):交付貨物;移交一切與貨物有關(guān)的單據(jù);移轉(zhuǎn)貨物的所有權(quán)。第二,買方的責任主要表現(xiàn)為兩項義務(wù):支付貨物價款;收取貨物。第三,詳細規(guī)定賣方和買方違反合同時的補救辦法。第四,規(guī)定了風險轉(zhuǎn)移的幾種情況。第五,明確了根本違反合同和預(yù)期違反合同的含義以及當這種情況發(fā)生時,當事人雙方所應(yīng)履行的義務(wù)。第六,對免責根據(jù)的條件作了明確的規(guī)定。補充:CISG 聯(lián)合國國際貨物銷售合同公約(the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods)。根據(jù)聯(lián)合國大會的授權(quán),聯(lián)合國國際貨物銷售合同會議于1980年3月10日至4月11日在奧地利維也納舉行(維也納會議),共62個國家的代表出席。在這次會議上通過了該公約。1988年公約在達到法定批準國家數(shù)額后正式生效。我國于1986年12月向聯(lián)合國秘書長遞交了該公約的批準書,成為該公約的締約國。但在參加公約時,根據(jù)第95、96條的規(guī)定,我國對該公約第11條以及第1條第1款b項作了保留。
