【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(Operative part)、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. This Agreement is entered into by and between ____ and ____.
本协议由以下双方____和___ 签署。
2. This Agreement is entered into by and between ____ (hereinafter referred to as____) and ____ (hereinafter referred to as xxx_____xxx), whereby it is agreed as follows:
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:
This Agreement is entered into through friendly negotiations between _____ Co.
(hereinafter referred to as the “Party A”) and _____ Co. (hereinafter referred to as the “Party B”) based on equality and mutual benefit to develop business on the terms and conditions set forth below:
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:
This Agreement is entered into between _____ (hereinafter referred to as xxxCompanyxxx), and ______, (hereinafter referred to as xxxEmployeexxx) pursuant to paragraph VIII(2) of the Employee Handbook, whereby it is agreed as follows:
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. This Agreement is made and entered into this _____th day of _____ in the year of ____ by and between ______, a company duly organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of ______, with its principal place of business at _____ (hereinafter referred to as “_____”), and ______, a company duly organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of _____, with its principal place of business at _____ (hereinafter referred to as “_____”), whereby it is agreed as follows:

III. “Recitals” 由数个以xxxWhereasxxx字样开头的句子所组合而成(这些句子俗称为“Whereas Clauses”),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. This Agreement is made and entered into this _____ day of _____ in the year of ____ by and between _______, a company duly organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of ______, with its principal place of business at ______ (hereinafter referred to as “_____”), and ______, a company duly organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of ______, with its principal place of business at ______ (hereinafter referred

本合约由_____,在_____法律之下并凭该等法律正式组织并存在的公司,其主要营业地点在______(下称_____)(或下称供应商),与_______,在_____法律之下并凭该等法律正式组织并存在的公司,其主要营业地点_
因此,双方当事人达成以下协议:
注:WITNESSED可以用WITHNESSTH、WITHNESSTH THAT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“Whereas Clauses”。下面为一个资产购买协议实例:
This ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the xxxAgreementxxx) is made and entered into as of May 19, 1997 by and among AAA, a Delaware corporation (xxxAAAxxx), BBB, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of AAA (xxxBuyerxxx), CCC (xxxSummitxxx), and DDD, an Oregon corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Summit (xxxSellerxxx).
RECITALS
A. The Boards of Directors of each of Summit, Seller, AAA and Buyer believe it is in the best interests of each company and their respective security holders that Buyer acquire certain listed assets and assume certain listed liabilities of Seller (the xxxAcquisitionxxx).
B. On the date hereof, Buyer has executed a $2,000,000 irrevocable purchase order to purchase 400 time-based licenses for Summit's Visual HDL interfaces for Visual Test bench (xxxVTBxxx) software on AAA's standard form of purchase order, which is payable within five (5) business days after the date hereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, promises and representations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:
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。

6. xxxExpensesxxx include costs, charges and expenses of every description.
“费用”包括各种形式的金钱支出。
II. 还有一类特殊的定义语句,即对于「单、复数」及「阴、阳性」名词的范围定义。通常都是用include来表达:

III. 定义语句中,有时需限定范围。而通常用得最多的是:“for the purpose of ”及“in relation to” 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“for the purpose of ”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“in relation to”来界定。如下例:
1. For the purpose of this Agreement, xxxProductsxxx means all types of the machineries manufactured by Manufacturer as are specified in Attachment A hereto.
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. xxxAddressxxx means-

3. 有效期 Period of validity

4. The contract term is hereby extended for the period____.

本协议应自生效日生效并在_____年内有效。此后,除非一方当事人提前_____天书面通知对方当事人终止本协议,本协议有效期自动延长_____年,协议条款不变。
III. Term条款并没有十分固定的表达方式,以下即是一些合同中Term的实例:
1. This Agreement shall be valid and remain in force for a period of three (3) years commencing from the date appearing first above written upon the signing of both Party A and Party B and shall be extended for another period of three (3) years on the same terms and conditions unless either of the parties hereto gives the other party at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the original term.

2. At any time and from time to time during the period commencing on the date hereof and terminating on ______, 20___, party A may in writing advise party B.

4. 不可抗力 Force Majeure
Force Majeure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(Definition of Force Majeure)以及不可抗力事件的后果(Consequences of Force Majeure) 。在Force Majeure条款中,两者属于因果关系,难以截然分开。
I. 对于Force Majeure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。
For purposes of this Law, force majeure means any objective circumstance, which is unforeseeable, unavoidable and insurmountable.
II. 以下是Force Majeure条款的举例:
1. Neither party shall be responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts or facts reasonably beyond the control of that party.
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. Either Party shall not be liable for any delay caused by any unpredictable factor or any factor which is unavoidable or insurmountable by reasonable means at the time of conclusion of this Agreement, or any loss caused by failure in fulfillment of obligations as stipulated herein.
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. Neither party of this Agreement, directly or indirectly owing to any causes or circumstances beyond its control, including Acts of God, Governmental orders or restriction, war, warlike conditions, revolutions, strike, lockout, fire and flood.
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: Acts of God通常也译为“不可抗力”,但主要是指自然灾害;而Force Majeure则包括自然及人为两方面。
4. Neither party will be liable for nondelivery, misdelivery or late delivery (other than the payment of money due hereunder) caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, among others, war, civil strife or commotion, riots, strikes, fires, floods, acts of God, inability to obtain materials, failure of carriers or compliance with any law, regulation or governmental order.
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。
5. Should either of the parties to the contract by prevented from executing the contract by force majeure, such as earthquake, typhoon, flood, fire and war and other unforeseen events, and their happening and consequences are unpreventable and unavoidable, the prevented party shall notify the other party by cable without any delay, and within 15 days thereafter provide the detailed information of the events and a valid document for evidence issued by the relevant public notary organization
for explaining the reason of its inability to execute or delay the execution of all or part of the contract. Both parties shall, through consolations, decide whether to terminate the contract or to exempt the part of obligations for implementation of the contract or whether to delay the execution of the contract according to the effects of the events on the performance of the contract.
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。
6. Force majeure shall hereof consist of the following events:
下述事件构成不可抗力:
Where such cases as war, earthquake, serious windstorms, snow, or fire or other events which no party can foresee and prevent from happening occur;
