This book was released on 2011-03-17 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the aim of creating an autonomous regime for the interpretation and application of the contract, boilerplate clauses are often inserted into international commercial contracts without negotiations or regard for their legal effects. The assumption that a sufficiently detailed and clear language will ensure that the legal effects of the contract will only be based on the contract, as opposed to the applicable law, was originally encouraged by English courts, and today most international contracts have these clauses, irrespective of the governing law. This collection of essays demonstrates that this assumption is not fully applicable under systems of civil law, because these systems are based on principles, such as good faith and loyalty, which contradict this approach.

Download or read book A Z Guide to Boilerplate and Commercial Clauses written by Mark Anderson and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 695 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A lot of people when drafting an agreement will concentrate on the core commercial terms, rather than the boilerplate clauses. Some see the word "boilerplate" as referring to "unimportant" contract terms. This is very dangerous as a failure to consider all the provisions of a commercial agreement can have serious consequences. Often these consequences will come when it is too late to do anything about the contract terms, ie after the agreement is signed. A boilerplate clause sometimes deals with important operational issues such as the law of the contract or how notices may be sent. On other occasions, the clause deals with commercial issues that may not seem important, until a problem arises. For example, a force majeure clause only becomes significant if a party cannot perform its obligation due to circumstances beyond their control with such circumstances arising rarely, but when they do the force majeure clause comes into its own. A-Z Guide to Boilerplate and Commercial Clauses guides the user through each clause, explaining its purpose, considering its relevance in an agreement, discussing drafting issues and providing illustrative examples. The legal commentary and practical guidance helps the user to better understand the legal framework underpinning a boilerplate clause and how the courts are likely to view boilerplate and commercial clauses in the event of a dispute. For ease of reference the clauses are arranged in alphabetical order ranging from Acknowledgements to Warranties and are laid out in a modern, clear and accessible format. A set of typical boilerplate terms as they might be found in a commercial contract is included as an appendix. Since the third edition, major developments in case law and legislation have resulted in the revision of existing clauses and the development of new standard clauses. The book comes with an electronic download of the clauses. On purchase, you will be provided with a code and a web link from which the clauses can be downloaded in a generic format such as *.doc which will be compatible with all operating systems."

In negotiations, some executives will only scrutinize the commercial or "deal" terms of the contract. The rest is usually left "for the lawyers to sort out." However, the boilerplate clause will usually govern or regulate the other commercial or "deal" clauses. They play a vital part in the contract. It is only through the process of familiarization that you can begin to understand their effects. The important thing is to be able to identify these clauses and to understand what they are trying to achieve by their inclusion in the contract, which will place you well ahead of most other business executives in this area.

Download or read book International Commercial Agreements written by William Fox and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2023-12-05 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Precise planning, drafting and vigorous negotiation lie at the heart of every international commercial agreement. But as the international business community moves toward the third decade of the twenty-first century, a large amount of the detail of these agreements has migrated to the Internet and has become part of electronic commerce. This incomparable one-volume work, now in its seventh edition, begins by discussing and analyzing all the basic components of international contracts regardless of whether the contracting parties are interacting face-to-face or dealing electronically at some distance from each other. The work stands alone among contract drafting guides and has proven its enduring worth. Using an established and highly practical format, the book offers precise information and analysis of a wide variety of issues and forms of agreement, as well as the various forms of international commercial dispute resolution. The seventh edition includes new and updated material on a large number of issues and concepts, such as: new developments and technical progress in electronic commerce; the use of concepts of standardization, i.e., the work of the International Organization for Standardization as a contract drafting tool; new developments in artificial intelligence in contract drafting; the use of cryptocurrencies as a payment device; expedited arbitration, early neutral evaluation and digital procedures for dispute resolution; online dispute resolution, including the phenomenon of the “robot arbitrator”; and foreign direct investment, investment law and investor-state dispute resolution. Each chapter provides numerous references to additional sources, including websites, journal articles, and texts. Materials from and citations to appropriate literature and languages other than English are included. Recognizing that business executives entering into an international commercial transaction are mainly interested in drafting and negotiating an agreement that satisfies all of the parties and that will be performed as promised, this superb guide will measurably assist any lawyer or business executive in planning and implementing contracts and resolving disputes even when that person is not interested in a full-blown understanding of the entire landscape of international contracts. Business executives who are not lawyers will find that this book gives them the understanding and perspective necessary to work effectively with legal experts.
Download or read book The Applicable Law to International Commercial Contracts and the Status of Lex Mercatoria With a Special Emphasis on Choice of Law Rules in the European Community written by Mert Elcin and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2010 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International commercial contracts in the context of increasing globalization of the national markets have posed some of the most difficult questions of the legal theory as developed since the emergence of nation states; those are, whether it is possible or desirable to allow international commercial contracts to be governed by the law merchant or, in its medieval name, lex mercatoria, a body of rules which has not been derived from the will of sovereign states, but mainly from transnational trade usages and practices, and to what extent those rules should govern transnational transactions. The traditional approach of legal positivism to the questions maintains that law governing contracts containing a foreign element should be a national law which will be determined according to choice of law rules. However, the particularities of cross border trade yield unsatisfactory results when the rules essentially designed for the settlement of domestic disputes or national laws pertaining to international economic relations, but developed under the influence of a certain legal tradition, are tried to be applied. New solutions are needed to overcome the special problems of international trade between merchants from different legal systems. In that regard, while the international commercial arbitration which has been freed from the constraints of the domestic laws is an important step, the courts generally applying the principle of party autonomy which allows parties to designate the law that will apply to their transactions have proved insufficient due to the positivistic influence on the conflict of laws rules of most countries which has limited parties' choice of law to the national substantive laws. The problems created by those inconsistencies and divergences have been felt more strongly in the European Community which constitutes an internal market by integrating the national markets of Member States into a single one. The present paper is an attempt to search for answers to those questions with a special emphasis on the situation in the European Community on the basis of the idea that law as a servant of social need must take account of the far reaching and dramatic socio-economic changes.
