part ii-formation of the contract

第十四條

(1)向一個或一個以上特定的人提出的訂立合同的建議，如果十分確定并且表明發(fā)價人在得到接受時承受約束的意旨，即構成發(fā)價。一個建議如果寫明貨物并且明示或暗示地規(guī)定數(shù)量和價格或規(guī)定如何確定數(shù)量和價格，即為十分確定。

(2)非向一個或一個以上特定的人提出的建議，僅應視為邀請做出發(fā)價，除非提出建議的人明確地表示相反的意向。

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.

第十五條

(1)發(fā)價于送達被發(fā)價人時生效。

(2)一項發(fā)價，即使是不可撤銷的，得予撤回，如果撤回通知于發(fā)價送達被發(fā)價人之前或同時，送達被發(fā)價人。

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(2) an offer, even if it is irrevocable, may be withdrawn if the withdrawal reaches the offeree before or at the same time as the offer.

第十六條

(1)在未訂立合同之前，發(fā)價得予撤銷，如果撤銷通知于被發(fā)價人發(fā)出接受通知之前送達被發(fā)價人。

(2)但在下列情況下，發(fā)價不得撤銷：

(a)發(fā)價寫明接受發(fā)價的期限或以其它方式表示發(fā)價是不可撤銷的;或

(b)被發(fā)價人有理由信賴該項發(fā)價是不可撤銷的，而且被發(fā)價人已本著對該項發(fā)價的信賴行事。

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.

第十七條

一項發(fā)價，即使是不可撤銷的，于拒絕通知送達發(fā)價人時終止。

article 17

an offer, even if it is irrevocable, is terminated when a rejection reaches the offeror.

第十八條

(1)被發(fā)價人聲明或做出其它行為表示同意一項發(fā)價，即是接受，緘默或不行動本身不等于接受。

(2)接受發(fā)價于表示同意的通知送達發(fā)價人時生效。如果表示同意的通知在發(fā)價人所規(guī)定的時間內(nèi)，如未規(guī)定時間，在一段合理的時間內(nèi)，未曾送達發(fā)價人，接受就成為無效，但須適當?shù)乜紤]到交易的情況，包括發(fā)價人所使用的通訊方法的迅速程序。對口頭發(fā)價必須立即接受，但情況有別者不在此限。

(3)但若根據(jù)該項發(fā)價或依當事人之間確立的習慣作法和慣例，被發(fā)價人可以做出某種行為，例如與發(fā)運貨物或支付價款有關的行為，來表示同意，而無須向發(fā)價人發(fā)出通知，則接受于該項行為做出時生效，但該項行為必須在上一款所規(guī)定的期間內(nèi)做出。

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.

第十九條

(1)對發(fā)價表示接受但載有添加、限制或其它更改的答復，即為拒絕該項發(fā)價，并構成還價。

(2)但是，對發(fā)價表示接受但載有添加或不同條件的答復，如所載的添加或不同條件在實質(zhì)上并不變更該項發(fā)價的條件，除發(fā)價人在不過分遲延的期間內(nèi)以口頭或書面通知反對其間的差異外，仍構成接受。如果發(fā)價人不做出這種反對，合同的條件就以該項發(fā)價的條件以及接受通知內(nèi)所載的更改為準。

(3)有關貨物價格、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范圍或解決爭端等等的添加或不同條件，均視為在實質(zhì)上變更發(fā)價的條件。

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 66

第六十七條

(1)如果銷售合同涉及到貨物的運輸，但賣方?jīng)]有義務在某一特定地點交付貨物，自貨物按照銷售合同交付給第一承運人以轉(zhuǎn)交給買方時起，風險就移轉(zhuǎn)到買方承擔。如果賣方有義務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以前，風險不移轉(zhuǎn)到買方承擔。賣方受權保留控制貨物處置權的單據(jù)，并不影響風險的移轉(zhuǎn)。

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.

第六十八條

對于在運輸途中銷售的貨物，從訂立合同時起，風險就移轉(zhuǎn)到買方承擔。但是，如果情況表明有此需要，從貨物交付給簽發(fā)載有運輸合同單據(jù)的承運人時起，風險就由買方承擔。盡管如此，如果賣方在訂立合同時已知道或理應知道貨物已經(jīng)遺失或損壞，而他又不將這一事實告之買方，則這種遺失或損壞應由賣方負責。

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.

第六十九條

(1)在不屬于第六十七條和第六十八條規(guī)定的情況下，從買方接收貨物時起，或如果買方不在適當時間內(nèi)這樣做，則從貨物交給他處置但他不收取貨物從而違反合同時起，風險移轉(zhuǎn)到買方承擔。

(2)但是，如果買方有義務在賣方營業(yè)地以外的某一地點接收貨物，當交貨時間已到而買方知道貨物已在該地點交給他處置時，風險方始移轉(zhuǎn)。

(3)如果合同指的是當時未加識別的貨物，則這些貨物在未清楚注明有關合同以前，不得視為已交給買方處置。

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.

第七十條

若賣方已根本違反合同，第六十七條、第六十八條和第六十九條的規(guī)定，不損害買方因此種違反合同而可以采取的各種補救辦法。

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.

(3)中止履行義務的一方當事人不論是在貨物發(fā)運前還是發(fā)運后，都必須立即通知另一方當事人，如經(jīng)另一方當事人對履行義務提供充分保證，則他必須繼續(xù)履行義務。

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)買方宣告合同對任何一批貨物的交付為無效時，可以同時宣告合同對已交付的或今后交付的各批貨物均為無效，如果各批貨物是互相依存的，不能單獨用于雙方當事人在訂立合同時所設想的目的。

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.

第二節(jié) 損害賠償

section ii-damages

第七十四條

一方當事人違反合同應負的損害賠償額，應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知道的事實和情況，對違反合同預料到或理應預料到的可能損失。

section iv-exemptions

第七十九條

(1)當事人對不履行義務，不負責任，如果他能證明此種不履行義務，是由于某種非他所能控制的障礙，而且對于這種障礙，沒有理由預期他在訂立合同時能考慮到或能避免或克服它或它的后果。

11.1 the buyer shall examine the goods as soon as possible after their arrival at destination and shall notify the seller in writing of any lack of conformity of the goods within 15 days from the date when the buyer discovers or ought to have discovered the lack of conformity. in any case the buyer shall have no remedy for lack of conformity if he fails to notify the seller thereof within 12 months from the date of arrival of the goods at the agreed destination.

11.2盡管在特定的貿(mào)易或雙方之間交易當中存在一些常見的細微差異，貨物仍將視為與合同相符，但買方有權獲得因這些細微差異在這種貿(mào)易或交易當中通常的價款減讓。

11.3 where goods are non-conforming (and provided the buyer, having given notice of the lack of conformity in compliance with article 11.1, does not elect in the notice to retain them), the seller shall at his option:

(a) replace the goods with conforming goods, without any additional expense to the buyer, or

(b) repair the goods, without any additional expense to the buyer, or

(c) reimburse to the buyer the price paid for the non-conforming goods and thereby terminate the contract as regards those goods.

the buyer will be entitled to liquidated damages as quantified under article 10.1 for each complete week of delay between the date of notification of the non-conformity according to article 11.1 and the supply of substitute goods under article 11.3(a) or repair under article 11.3(b) above. such damages may be accumulated with damages (if any) payable under article 10.1, but can in no case exceed in the aggregate 5% of the price of those goods.

11.5當合同依照第11.3(c)條或第11.4條的規(guī)定終止時，除了依照第11.3條支付的或應付的退款和遲延損害賠償金外，買方有權獲得不超過不符約定貨物價款10%的附加損失的損害賠償金。

11.5 where the contract is terminated under article 11.3(c) or article 11.4, then in addition to any amount paid or payable under article 11.3 as reimbursement of the price and damages for any delay, the buyer is entitled to damages for any additional loss not exceeding 10% of the price of the non-conforming goods.

11.6買方選擇保留不符約定的貨物的，買方有權獲得相當于若貨物與合同相符時在約定目的地的貨物價格與實際交付時在同一地的價格之間的差價。這些差價不應超過不符約定貨物價款的15%。

11.6 where the buyer elects to retain non-conforming goods, he shall be entitled to a sum equal to the difference between the value of the goods at the agreed place of destination if they had conformed with the contract and their value at the same place as delivered, such sum not to exceed 15% of the price of those goods.

11.7除非另有書面約定，第11條中約定的補償不包括任何因貨物不符約定的其它救濟。

11.7 unless otherwise agreed in writing, the remedies under this article 11 are exclusive of any other remedy for non-conformity.

11.8除非另有書面約定，在貨物到達之日起兩年之后，買方不得向法院或仲裁機構提出貨物不符約定的訴求。雙方明確約定，在該兩年期限屆滿之后，賣方以不履行合同為由向買方提出訴求時，買方不得在答辯中主張貨物不符約定，或據(jù)此提出反請求。

11.8 unless otherwise agreed in writing, no action for lack of conformity can be taken by the buyer, whether before judicial or arbitral tribunals, after 2 years from the date of arrival of the goods. it is expressly agreed that after the expiry of such term, the buyer will not plead non-conformity of the goods, or make a counter-claim thereon, in defence to any action taken by the seller against the buyer for non-performance of this contract.

(b)在達成合同時，盡其所能也不能合理地預見該阻礙和其影響，及

(c)其不能合理地避免或克服該阻礙或其影響。

13.1 a party is not liable for a failure to perform any of his obligations in so far as he proves:

(a) that the failure was due to an impediment beyond his control, and

(b) that he could not reasonably be expected to have taken into account the impediment and its effects upon his ability to perform at the time of the conclusion of the contract, and

(c) that he could not reasonably have avoided or overcome it or its effects.

13.2主張免責的一方，盡其所能在知道該阻礙及其影響時，只要可行應將該阻礙及其影響通知另一方。當免責事由消除時，也要發(fā)出通知。

13.2 a party seeking relief shall, as soon as practicable after the impediment and its effects upon his ability to perform become known to him, give notice to the other party of such impediment and its effects on his ability to perform. notice shall also be given when the ground of relief ceases.

未發(fā)出兩種通知中任一種通知的一方，應對本應可以避免的損失承擔損害賠償責任。

failure to give either notice makes the party thus failing liable in damages for loss which otherwise could have been avoided.

13.3在不違反第10.2條的前提下，本條款規(guī)定的免責事由使不能履行義務的一方免除了支付損害賠償金、罰金和其它合同制裁的責任，但只要該事由存在并持續(xù)，對于支付拖欠款項利息的責任則不能免除。

13.3 without prejudice to article 10.2, a ground of relief under this clause relieves the party failing to perform from liability in damages, from penalties and other contractual sanctions, except from the duty to pay interest on money owing as long as and to the extent that the ground subsists.

13.4如果免責的事由持續(xù)存在超過六個月，任何一方均有權通知解除合同。

13.4 if the grounds of relief subsist for more than six months, either party shall be entitled to terminate the contract with notice.

united nations convention on contracts for the international sale of goods

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 decreed as follows:

part i sphere of application and general provisions

part ii formation of the contract

part iii sale of goods

part iv final provisions

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 partys 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 goods - in handing the goods over to the first carrier for transmission to the buyer

(b) if, in cases not within the preceding subparagraph, the contract relates to specific goods, or unidentified goods to be drawn from a specific stock or to be manufactured or produced, and at the time of the conclusion of the contract the parties knew that the goods were at, or were to be manufactured or produced at, a particular place - in placing the goods at the buyers disposal at that place

(c) in other cases - in placing the goods at the buyers disposal at the place where the seller had his place of business at the time of the conclusion of the contract.

(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 buyers 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 sellers 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 sellers 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 sellers 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:

(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.

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 sellers 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 buyers 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 buyers 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 partys 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 partys 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 partys 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 t, aking 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.
