1、Unit Five Contracts 合同文书,合同(Contract)是指两个或两个以上的自然人或法人关于设定、变更或消灭某种民事权利和义务的协议，是合作各方权利和义务的凭证。面临全球经济一体化的趋势，我国与世界各国的经济合作日益增加，涉外合同的重要性也越来越明显。合同英语属于法律英语的范畴，由于合同与当事人的利益，尤其是经济利益直接相关，因而要求其语言准确，不能引起歧义，准确性是压倒一切的原则。合同是双方当事人意思表示一致的协议，但合同的成立要求合同的主要条款完备。一个完备的涉外合同通常应具备以下的条款：,1合同当事人的名称或者姓名、国籍、主营业所或住所；2合同签订的日期、地点；3合同的
2、类型和合同标的种类、范围；4，合同标的技术条件、质量、标准、规格、数量；5履行的期限、地点和方式；6价格条件、支付金额、支付方式和各种附带的费用；7违反合同的赔偿和其他责任；8.合同发生争议时的解决方法；9合同使用的文字及其效力。,以上所列举的条款是涉外合同一般性的条款，但并非是每一涉外合同必须应具备的条款。由于合同性质不同，不同的合同有不同的主要条款。以下几节将结合买卖合同、租赁合同、聘用合同、加工合同以及办学合同的实例，分别说明其主要条款及常用语言。,Section One Selling&Buying Contracts 买卖合同,买卖合同的结构和主要内容 货物买卖合同是指当事人之间就买

27、ction Two Lease Contracts 租赁合同,租赁是指资产所有人出租他的资产，供租用人使用并支付约定的租金。租赁业务中两个主要关系人出租人和租用人通过签订租赁合同确定双方的租赁关系。租用人的主要义务是支付约定的租金，保护和合理使用租用物。通过支付租金，租用人对租用物享有占有权和使用权。出租人除对出租物拥有所有权外，还享有收取租金的权利，但出租人必须承认租用人在租用期限内对租用物的占有权和使用权。具有金融、贸易双重职能的租赁，在经济活动中日益发挥着重要作用。租赁可以提高资产和资金的利用效率，增加资产和资金的利用渠道并可以防止机械设备陈旧。面临世界经济一体化发展的趋势，租赁业务也发
28、展为国际性的重要业务。出租物的范围也不断扩大。除出租不动产外，还可以出租生产设备、事务性办公设备、机场及港口设备、交通运输工具等，几乎任何资产都可以租赁。本节将分别结合一个复杂的租赁合同与一个简单的租赁合同分析租赁合同的主要条款及常用的表达法。,租赁合同的结构和主要内容,租赁合同主要由约首、正文及约尾三部分组成。合同的约首应说明签约双方的名称、地址、电话以及签订合同的目的等。租赁合同的正文一般应包括下列条款：1标的物条款：通常包括出租物的品质和性能及其所有权情况；应明确说明各方对标的物的权限，明确规定各方应承担的责任及费用以及可以享受的权益。2租金条款：通常应规定租金的金额，支付的货币、时间等
29、项内容。,3租让人与租用人的权利和义务：明确规定租让人与租用人分别应享受的权利和承担的义务。4租期及租用人的选择权 一般规定租期。通常租用人享有继续使用和留购的选择权。5分租条款 通常租用人不得把租用物分租给第三者，除非合同另有规定，在此情况下应在合同内订明分租条款，以明确各方应承担的责任。合同的约尾通常是双方的签名。有时还会对合同文字及其效力进行规定。,Lease Contract,1.Lessor:(Hereinafter referred to as Party A)Address:Tel.:Fax:2.Lessee:(Hereinafter referred to as Party B
