【拓展延伸】
1.前言Preamble
一份标准英文合同通常可以分为前言(Preamble)、正文(Operativepart)、附录(Schedule)及证明部分即结束词(Attestation)四大部分组成。
前言(Preamble)由“Parties”及“Recitals”两部分组成。
“Parties”为必备条款,在很多时候称为“commencement”即合同的开场白,主要介绍合同各方的名称或姓名、注册地及地址、邮编及在合同中的简称。当然,并不是所有的合同都要详细介绍以上诸要素,在许多简单合同中,只是提一下各方的名称。
I.以下为“Parties”的常用表达方式:
1.ThisAgreementisenteredintobyandbetween____and____.
本协议由以下双方____和___签署。
2.ThisAgreementisenteredintobyandbetween____(hereinafterreferredtoas____)and____(hereinafterreferredtoas"_____"),wherebyitisagreedasfollows:
本协议由以下双方____(以下简称____)和_____(以下简称___)签署,达成如下协议:
注:在很多合同中,这部分加入签约事由,如:
ThisAgreementisenteredintothroughfriendlynegotiationsbetween_____Co.
(hereinafterreferredtoasthe“PartyA”)and_____Co.(hereinafterreferredtoasthe“PartyB”)basedonequalityandmutualbenefittodevelopbusinessonthetermsandconditionssetforthbelow:
本协议由_____(以下称为甲方)和____(以下称为乙方)为发展业务在平等互利的基础上签订,其条款如下:
ThisAgreementisenteredintobetween_____(hereinafterreferredtoas"Company"),and______,(hereinafterreferredtoas"Employee")pursuanttoparagraphVIII(2)oftheEmployeeHandbook,wherebyitisagreedasfollows:
本“协议”由_____(以下简称“公司”)与_____(以下简称“雇员”)根据“雇员手册”第VIII(2)款签署,“协议”内容如下:
II.以下为标准的“Parties”条款:
3.ThisAgreementismadeandenteredintothis_____thdayof_____intheyearof____byandbetween______,acompanydulyorganizedandexistingunderandbyvirtueofthelawsof______,withitsprincipalplaceofbusinessat_____(hereinafterreferredtoas“_____”),and______,acompanydulyorganizedandexistingunderandbyvirtueofthelawsof_____,withitsprincipalplaceofbusinessat_____(hereinafterreferredtoas“_____”),wherebyitisagreedasfollows:

III.“Recitals”由数个以"Whereas"字样开头的句子所组合而成(这些句子俗称为“WhereasClauses”),表示当事人乃是在基于对这些事实(例如订约的目的、背景来由等)的共同认识,订立此合约。
4.ThisAgreementismadeandenteredintothis_____dayof_____intheyearof____byandbetween_______,acompanydulyorganizedandexistingunderandbyvirtueofthelawsof______,withitsprincipalplaceofbusinessat______(hereinafterreferredtoas“_____”),and______,acompanydulyorganizedandexistingunderandbyvirtueofthelawsof______,withitsprincipalplaceofbusinessat______(hereinafterreferred

鉴于
因此,双方当事人达成以下协议:
注:WITNESSED可以用WITHNESSTH、WITHNESSTHTHAT等来代替。
IV.在很多美国常用合同中,在很多情况下直接用RECITALS引导数个陈述语句或“WhereasClauses”。下面为一个资产购买协议实例:
ThisASSETPURCHASEAGREEMENT(the"Agreement")ismadeandenteredintoasofMay19,1997byandamongAAA,aDelawarecorporation("AAA"),BBB,aDelawarecorporationandwholly-ownedsubsidiaryofAAA("Buyer"),CCC("Summit"),andDDD,anOregoncorporationandwholly-ownedsubsidiaryofSummit("Seller").

NOW,THEREFORE,inconsiderationofthecovenants,promisesandrepresentationssetforthherein,andforothergoodandvaluableconsideration,thepartiesagreeasfollows:
2.定义Definition
在正文(Habendum)部分,通常第一章为定义(Definitions)部分。
定义条款即对合同中涉及的术语及名词作出限定、解释的条款。它可以散见于合同各个部分,但对于一些大型的、重要的合同,通常将其置于第一章。
I.常见的定义语句常用mean,referto,beconstruedas,include等来表达。如:
1."Territory"meanstheUnitedStatesofAmerica.“销售地区”是指美利坚合众国。
2.“Commencementdate”shallmeanthedateofsigningthisagreementbythelastsigningpartyhereto.
“协议生效日”是指本“协议”最后签字的一方签署本“协议”的日期。
3.The“agreement”hereinreferredtoshallmeanthisagreementofagencybyentrustment.

6."Expenses"includecosts,chargesandexpensesofeverydescription.

合同中的“他”,包括“他”与“她”。
3.Wordsusingthesingularorpluralnumberalsoincludethepluralorsingularnumber.
采用单数或复数的单词也包括复数或单数。
III.定义语句中,有时需限定范围。而通常用得最多的是:“forthepurposeof”及“inrelationto”某概念的定义条款,如果适用范围仅限于合同的“特定部份”,可以用“forthepurposeof”来为定义条款起头。而如果定义条款是针对合同的“特定概念”,就用“inrelationto”来界定。如下例:
1.ForthepurposeofthisAgreement,"Products"meansalltypesofthemachineriesmanufacturedbyManufacturerasarespecifiedinAttachmentAhereto.
本协议所称的“产品”,指制造人所制造如附件A表列之各式机器。
2."Address"means-

“地址”就自然人而言,指通常之居所或工作场所;就公司而言,指位于中华人民共和国之注册所在地或主营业所。

4.ThefollowingarethedefinitionsofvarioustermsusedinthisAgreement:
本“协议”使用之术语定义如下:
3.有效期Periodofvalidity
有效期(Term)条款通常规定合同的有效期限,何时生效及到何时结束,合同结束后必要时如何延展等等。
I.以下为“Term”的常用表达方式:

如:Thetermofthiscontractisforaone(1)yearperiod.
2.Thecontractisfora_____monthperiod,commencing_____.

4.不可抗力ForceMajeure
ForceMajeure条款是一种免责条款,即免除由于不可抗力事件而违约的一方的违约责任。一般应规定的内容包括:不可抗力事件的定义(DefinitionofForceMajeure)以及不可抗力事件的后果(ConsequencesofForceMajeure)。在ForceMajeure条款中,两者属于因果关系,难以截然分开。
I.对于ForceMajeure的定义,《合同法》定义如下:
本法所称不可抗力,是指不能预见、不能避免并不能克服的客观情况。
ForpurposesofthisLaw,forcemajeuremeansanyobjectivecircumstance,whichisunforeseeable,unavoidableandinsurmountable.
II.以下是ForceMajeure条款的举例:
1.Neitherpartyshallberesponsiblefordelaysorfailuresinperformanceresultingfromactsorfactsreasonablybeyondthecontrolofthatparty.
任何一方不应对因其无法控制之行为或事实造成协议延迟履行或不履行承担任何责任。
2.EitherPartyshallnotbeliableforanydelaycausedbyanyunpredictablefactororanyfactorwhichisunavoidableorinsurmountablebyreasonablemeansatthetimeofconclusionofthisAgreement,oranylosscausedbyfailureinfulfillmentofobligationsasstipulatedherein.
协议任一方无须对因任何在本协议签订时无法预见或以合理手段也无法避免或克服之原因造成的迟延或不履行本协议之义务所造成的损失承担责任。
注:以上采用的是类似《合同法》概括的定义方法。而合同为不可抗力定义时更多地采用列举的方法。
3.NeitherpartyofthisAgreement,directlyorindirectlyowingtoanycausesorcircumstancesbeyonditscontrol,includingActsofGod,Governmentalordersorrestriction,war,warlikeconditions,revolutions,strike,lockout,fireandflood.
本合同任何一方当事人对直接或间接地由于其无法控制的原因或情况包括自然灾害、政府命令或限制、战争、战争状态、革命、罢工、工厂被关闭、火灾、水灾等而未能履行或延迟履行合同或合同一部分的行为,不负任何责任。
注:ActsofGod通常也译为“不可抗力”,但主要是指自然灾害;而ForceMajeure则包括自然及人为两方面。
4.Neitherpartywillbeliablefornondelivery,misdeliveryorlatedelivery(otherthanthepaymentofmoneyduehereunder)causedbycircumstancesbeyonditsreasonablecontrol,including,amongothers,war,civilstrifeorcommotion,riots,strikes,fires,floods,actsofGod,inabilitytoobtainmaterials,failureofcarriersorcompliancewithanylaw,regulationorgovernmentalorder.
任何当事人将不会为任何因为不可控制的情况产生的未交付货物、交付错误或延迟交货(除了支付应付款)。不可控制的情况包括战争、国内斗争或*乱、骚乱、罢工、火灾、洪灾、自然灾害、无力获得材料、承运人的失误、遵守法律、法规或政府令。

由于地震、台风、水灾、火灾、战争以及其它不能预见并且对其发生和后果不能防止或避免的不可抗力事件出现,致使直接影响合同的履行或者不能按约定的条件履行时,遇有上述不可抗力的一方,应立即电报通知对方,并应在十五天内,提供不可抗力详情及合同不能履行、或者部分不履行、或者需要延期履行的理由的有效证明文件。此项证明文件应由事故发生地有权证明的机构出具。按其对履行合同影响的程度,由双方协商决定是否解除合同,或者部分履行合同,或者延期履行合同。

5.修改Modification
合同修订(Modification)条款为合同常用条款.主要规定了合同修订的方式与途径。例如:书面合同,只能以书面方式进行修订,口头修订内容无效。
I.Modification条款通常较为简单,以下为一些常用比较简约的表达方式:
1.Thecontractcanbeamendedonlyaftertheamendmentisagreeduponbybothparties.
只有经双方一致同意,合同方可变更。
2.ThisAgreementmaybeamendedonlybyawritteninstrumentsignedbydulyauthorizedrepresentativesofbothparties.
3.ThisAgreementmaynotbeamendedormodifiedexceptbywritteninstrumentsigned

除非经本协议当事人签署的书面通知,否则本协议书不得作出任何修改和变更。
4.AnyalterationsoramendmentsofthisAgreementshallbesubjecttoagreementthroughconsultationbetweenbothpartiesinwriting.
本协议的任何变更或修改,应由本协议双方协商一致,并以书面方式进行。

7.Duringtheperiodofvalidityoftheagreement,eitherpartyshallbeentitledtomakeproposalofamendmenttotheagreementandtheagreementamendedshallgointoeffectwiththesignatureofthetwoparties.
在协议的有效期内,任何一方都有权提出对协议进行修改,修改后的协议经过双方签署后才能够生效。
II.在实际运用中,由于内容环境不同,表达可能有所不同,以下为一些实例:
1.IftheloancontractaffiliatedtothisContracthastobeabridged,amended,orrevised,bothpartiesshallnegotiatetoamendandrevisethisContractinlinewiththeprovisionsoftheloancontract.

3.TheamendmentofthecontractorotherappendicesshallcomeintoforceonlyafterthewrittenagreementsignedbyPartyAandPartyBandapprovedbytheoriginalexaminationandapprovalauthority.

6.补偿Indemnification
损害赔偿(indemnification)条款,是减少合同风险的一个重要条款。该条款主要约定在第三者对合同提出权利主张时,另一缔约方应当对此承担责任。通常情况下,另一缔约方必须支付全部的防御性诉讼费用,以及全部的支付给第三者的和解费用或者第三者胜诉后造成的所有损失。
实际上,本条款是将第三人造成的风险从合同的一方当事人转移给另一方当事人。
其次,本条款也可以约定合同的另一缔约方有其他不当的作为时,应当进行损害赔偿。
I.Indemnification条款常用“indemnifyandholdharmlessfrom……”来表达:
1.PartyAagreestoindemnifyandholdPartyBharmlessfromanyclaimordemand,includingreasonableattorneys'fees,madebyanythirdpartyduetoorarisingoutof
甲方同意对乙方因_____造成的损失作出赔偿及保证乙方不招致任何第三方索偿或索求,包括合理的.律师费用。
应用实例:

一方当事人将使另一方当事人免于承担诉讼、索赔、请求、损害赔偿金及费用,包括为以下诉讼辩护而发生的合理的律师费:因另一方当事人未根据本协议履行其义务而导致损害赔偿的诉讼。
不管一方当事人或双方当事人是否知道特殊损害赔偿、附带损害赔偿、间接损害赔偿、后果性损害赔偿、惩罚性损害赔偿发生的可能性,一方当事人均不会为另一方当事人承担上述损害赔偿。

III.在大型合同中,Indemnification条款往往非常复杂,以下即为。
Indemnification补偿
(a)每方应就其按本合同规定履行其本合同项下义务所导致的、与其有关的或由其引发的一切损失、损害、责任、支出、费用、索赔、诉讼、要求、诉讼行为、诉因、程序、判决、估定税额、欠额以及收费(合称“损害”)补偿另一方、另一方的股东、董事、管理人员、雇员、代理、被指定人、受让人或其中任何一人,使之不受损害,并且在不对上文所述予以限制的条件下,买方还应就下述各项所导致的、与其有关的或由其引发的上述任何事项补偿卖方:

(b)如果第三方提出一方按本合同规定有权获得补偿的索赔请求,一方(“受补偿方”)应在实际可能的情况下尽早通知另一方(“补偿方”),但无论如何不得迟于在收到该等请求后的第_______日。受补偿方未给予该通知并不排除其按本合同规定寻求补偿,除非未给予该通知补偿方抗辩该索赔请求的能力受到实质影响。补偿方(与其自行选择的律师一起)应及时对该索赔请求进行抗辩,而受补偿方应在对该索赔请求进行抗辩时与补偿方合作,包括按照补偿方规定的原则就该事项达成和解(补偿方承担该和解的一切费用与支出)。

(1)卖方被及时告知侵权指控的发生,并得到与该侵权指控有关的每一通讯、通知或其他诉讼文书的副本,(2)得到该辩护的独家控制权(包括选择律师的权利),以及就诉讼或程序进行妥协或者和解的独家权利;但是,卖方在本合同项下的责任(如果有的话),应严格地并且仅仅限于卖方因买方销售侵权物品而应从买方获得的特许权使用费收入金额。如果侵权是由卖方交货后有人将物品混合、添加或改造而引起,或者由实施某一方法时使用物品(或其何部分)而引起,则卖方无义务进行辩护,亦无承担费用或损害赔偿的责任。

如果卖方制造并向买方提供的任何物品被判定侵犯有效的_______国专利,且卖方被禁止使用该专利,或者如果卖方相信很可能发生侵权,卖方将尽一切合理的努力,自费从以下措施中作出选择:(1)为买方取得使用该等物品而不产生侵权责任的权利,或(2)以在其他方面实质符合本合同所有规定的非侵权替代品来代替或改造该等物品,或(3)在该等物品被返还后,退还该等物品的购买价以及运费(扣除向买方交货至退还期间使用该等物品并从中获得利益的折扣金额,该折扣金额按从卖方装运之日起_______年直线式折旧来计算)。
如果交货完成前发生权指控,卖方有权拒绝进一步装运,而不构成违约。如果卖方还没有被禁止向买方销售该等物品,应买方请求,卖方可以(仅由卖方酌定)向买方供应该等物品,在此情况下,买方应被视为向卖方做出与本合同上文所述相同的专利补偿保证。如果有人指称卖方按照买方规格制造的物品侵犯了有效的_______国专利,并以此为根据向卖方提起诉讼或程序,则买方应被视为已向卖方做出同样的专利补偿保证。
买方应将第三方侵犯本合同项下许可给买方的知识产权及时通知卖方。如果第三方侵犯该等知识产权,双方应互相合作,采取适当的行动制止该侵权行为。
