(2)非向一個(gè)或一個(gè)以上特定的人提出的建議，僅應(yīng)視為邀請(qǐng)做出發(fā)價(jià)，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(jià)于送達(dá)被發(fā)價(jià)人時(shí)生效。

(2)一項(xiàng)發(fā)價(jià)，即使是不可撤銷的，得予撤回，如果撤回通知于發(fā)價(jià)送達(dá)被發(fā)價(jià)人之前或同時(shí)，送達(dá)被發(fā)價(jià)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(2) an offer, even if it is irrevocable, may be withdrawn if the withdrawal reaches the offeree before or at the same time as the offer.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(jià)得予撤銷，如果撤銷通知于被發(fā)價(jià)人發(fā)出接受通知之前送達(dá)被發(fā)價(jià)人。

(2)但在下列情況下，發(fā)價(jià)不得撤銷：

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

(b)被發(fā)價(jià)人有理由信賴該項(xiàng)發(fā)價(jià)是不可撤銷的，而且被發(fā)價(jià)人已本著對(duì)該項(xiàng)發(fā)價(jià)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:

(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.

第十八條

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

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

(3)但若根據(jù)該項(xiàng)發(fā)價(jià)或依當(dāng)事人之間確立的習(xí)慣作法和慣例，被發(fā)價(jià)人可以做出某種行為，例如與發(fā)運(yùn)貨物或支付價(jià)款有關(guān)的行為，來表示同意，而無須向發(fā)價(jià)人發(fā)出通知，則接受于該項(xiàng)行為做出時(shí)生效，但該項(xiàng)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(duì)發(fā)價(jià)表示接受但載有添加、限制或其它更改的答復(fù)，即為拒絕該項(xiàng)發(fā)價(jià)，并構(gòu)成還價(jià)。

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

(3)有關(guān)貨物價(jià)格、付款、貨物質(zhì)量和數(shù)量、交貨地點(diǎn)和時(shí)間、一方當(dāng)事人對(duì)另一方當(dāng)事人的賠償責(zé)任范圍或解決爭(zhēng)端等等的添加或不同條件，均視為在實(shí)質(zhì)上變更發(fā)價(jià)的條件。

article 68

(3)如果合同指的是當(dāng)時(shí)未加識(shí)別的貨物，則這些貨物在未清楚注明有關(guān)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

（一）公約的宗旨和適用范圍

根據(jù)公約在序言中的規(guī)定，公約的宗旨是建立新的國(guó)家經(jīng)濟(jì)秩序，在平等互利的基礎(chǔ)上發(fā)展國(guó)際貿(mào)易，照顧到不同的社會(huì)、經(jīng)濟(jì)和法律制度，制定國(guó)際貨物銷售的統(tǒng)一規(guī)則，以減少法律障礙，促進(jìn)國(guó)際貿(mào)易的發(fā)展。

公約的適用范圍包括：1.公約適用的主體范圍。公約適用于營(yíng)業(yè)地在不同國(guó)家的當(dāng)事人之間所訂立的貨物買賣合同，但必須具備下列兩個(gè)條件之一：或者雙方當(dāng)事人營(yíng)業(yè)地所在國(guó)都是締約國(guó)；或者雖然當(dāng)事人營(yíng)業(yè)地所在國(guó)不是締約國(guó)，但根據(jù)國(guó)際私法規(guī)則導(dǎo)致應(yīng)適用某一締約國(guó)法律。2.公約適用的客體范圍。公約適用的客體范圍是“貨物買賣”。但并非所有的國(guó)際貨物買賣都屬于公約的調(diào)整范圍，公約排除了以下幾種買賣：（1）以直接私人消費(fèi)為目的的買賣；（2）拍賣；（3）依執(zhí)法令狀或法律授權(quán)的買賣；（4）公債、股票、投資證券、流通票據(jù)和貨幣的買賣；（5）船舶、氣墊船和飛行器的買賣；（6）電力的買賣；（7）賣方絕大部分義務(wù)是提供勞務(wù)和服務(wù)的買賣。3.公約沒有涉及的法律問題。公約的規(guī)定并沒有涉及國(guó)際貨物買賣合同的所有方面，以下問題公約沒有涉及：合同的效力，或其任何條款的效力或慣例的效力；合同對(duì)所有權(quán)的影響；貨物對(duì)人身造成傷亡或損害的產(chǎn)品責(zé)任問題。

在合同成立問題上，公約采用了傳統(tǒng)的要約、承諾的理論。

（二）合同雙方的義務(wù)

1.賣方的義務(wù)。

公約第30條至第44條主要規(guī)定了賣方的義務(wù)。賣方的義務(wù)主要包括：（1）交付貨物。交付貨物是賣方的主要義務(wù)，根據(jù)公約的規(guī)定賣方應(yīng)依合同約定的時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)及方式完成交貨義務(wù)。（2）品質(zhì)擔(dān)保。賣方必須保證其交付的貨物與合同約定的相符。如果合同沒有約定的，依公約的規(guī)定。（3）權(quán)利擔(dān)保。權(quán)利擔(dān)保分為所有權(quán)擔(dān)保和知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)擔(dān)保。所有權(quán)擔(dān)保指賣方保證對(duì)其出售的貨物享有完全的所有權(quán)，必須是第三方不能提出任何權(quán)利或要求的貨物。知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)擔(dān)保是指賣方交付貨物，必須是第三方不能依工業(yè)產(chǎn)權(quán)或其他知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)主張任何權(quán)利和要求的貨物。（4）交付單據(jù)。單據(jù)在象征性交貨的情況下，對(duì)買方非常重要，可能會(huì)影響到買方能否及時(shí)提取貨物或轉(zhuǎn)賣貨物。公約第34條規(guī)定，賣方必須按照合同約定的時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)和方式移交與貨物有關(guān)的單據(jù)。

2.買方的義務(wù)。

公約第53條至60條規(guī)定了買方的義務(wù)。買方的義務(wù)主要有兩項(xiàng)：支付貨款和接收貨物。

（三）違約的救濟(jì)方法

違約的救濟(jì)方法是指在一方違反合同時(shí)，另一方當(dāng)事人依法獲得補(bǔ)償?shù)姆椒ā?/p>

1.賣方違約買方的救濟(jì)方法。（1）要求實(shí)際履行。公約第46條第1款規(guī)定，賣方違反合同時(shí)，買方可以采取要求實(shí)際履行的辦法。第47條規(guī)定，買方可以規(guī)定一個(gè)合理時(shí)間的額外期限，讓賣方履行義務(wù)。（2）交付替代物。依公約規(guī)定買方只有在貨物與合同不符構(gòu)成根本違反合同時(shí)，才可以要求交付替代物。（3）修理。賣方對(duì)所交付的與合同不符的貨物進(jìn)行修補(bǔ)、調(diào)整或替換有瑕疵的部分。（4）減價(jià)。公約第50條規(guī)定，如貨物與合同不符，不論價(jià)款是否已付，買方都可以減低價(jià)格。（5）宣告合同無效。依公約第49條規(guī)定，買方有權(quán)在下列情況下宣告合同無效：第一，賣方根本違反合同；第二，賣方在買方規(guī)定的寬限期間內(nèi)沒有交貨或聲明不交貨。

2.買方違約賣方的救濟(jì)方法。（1）要求履行義務(wù)依據(jù)公約第61條至63條的規(guī)定，如果買方不履行其在合同中約定的義務(wù)或公約規(guī)定的義務(wù)，賣方可以要求其履行義務(wù)，如支付貨款、接收貨物等。（2）宣告合同無效。根據(jù)公約第64條的規(guī)定，賣方在下列情況下可以宣告合同無效：①買方的違約時(shí)根本違約；②買方在寬限的時(shí)間內(nèi)仍沒履行，或買方聲明將不在規(guī)定的時(shí)間內(nèi)履行。

3.適用于買賣雙方的一般規(guī)定。公約除上述適用于買方或賣方的特殊規(guī)定外，還在第71條至第88條規(guī)定了適用于買賣雙方的一般性規(guī)則，包括：（1）預(yù)期違約和分批交貨合同。當(dāng)一方出現(xiàn)預(yù)期違約的情況時(shí)，另一方當(dāng)事人可以采取中止履行義務(wù)的措施。公約從分批交貨的各批次之間的影響不同，對(duì)分批交貨的違約救濟(jì)做出了規(guī)定。（2）損害賠償。公約在第74條至第77條從賠償金額的計(jì)算、賠償?shù)南薅?、采用替代交易時(shí)的損害賠償、要求損害賠償一方減少損失的責(zé)任幾個(gè)方面對(duì)損害賠償進(jìn)行規(guī)定。（3）支付利息。（4）免責(zé)。公約在79條至80條規(guī)定了免責(zé)的條件、免責(zé)的后果、免責(zé)的通知義務(wù)等。（5）宣告合同無效的效果。公約從81條至84條規(guī)定了宣告合同無效的效果：①合同一經(jīng)被宣告無效，即解除了買賣雙方在合同中的義務(wù)；②宣告合同無效，要求買方必須按實(shí)際收到貨物的原狀歸還貨物；③合同宣告無效后，買賣雙方必須歸還因接受履行所獲得的利益。（6）保全貨物。保全貨物是指在一方違約時(shí)，另一方當(dāng)事人仍持有貨物的處置權(quán)，該當(dāng)事人有義務(wù)對(duì)他持有的或控制的貨物進(jìn)行保全。保全的目的是為了減少違約一方當(dāng)事人因違約而給自己帶來的損失。

（四）風(fēng)險(xiǎn)的轉(zhuǎn)移

貨物的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)轉(zhuǎn)移到買方承擔(dān)后遺失或損壞的，買方支付貨款的義務(wù)并不因此解除。除非這種損壞或遺失是由于賣方的行為或不行為造成的。公約第67條、68條規(guī)定了風(fēng)險(xiǎn)轉(zhuǎn)移的時(shí)間，分為以下幾種情況：合同中有運(yùn)輸條款的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)轉(zhuǎn)移；在運(yùn)輸途中風(fēng)險(xiǎn)的轉(zhuǎn)移；其他情況下風(fēng)險(xiǎn)的轉(zhuǎn)移。第67條第2款特別強(qiáng)調(diào)了在貨物被劃撥到合同項(xiàng)下之前，風(fēng)險(xiǎn)不轉(zhuǎn)移。

the states parties to this convention,

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,

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.

(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

(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.

(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:

(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.

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) 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

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

(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.

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:

(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 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.
