Unit 4.5 The Main Characteristics of the Contract of Sale
A written contract of sale is made out in the form of a document signed both by the Buyers and the Sellers.
When there is no necessity of introducing special terms and conditions into the contract of sale, Russian associations use standard forms of contracts containing the following clauses (articles):
Naming (definition) of the Parties
Subject of the contract and volume of delivery
Prices and the total value (amount) of the contract (including terms of delivery)
Time (dates) of delivery
Terms of payment
Transportation (=carriage) of goods (packing and marking, shipment)
The Sellers' guarantees (the quality of the goods)
Sanctions and compensation for damage
Insurance
10. Force majeure circumstances
Arbitration
General provisions
Also, there may be standard General Conditions which form an integral part of the contract and are either printed on the reverse side of the contract or at the foot of the face of the contract or attached to it.
In the case of a contract for sophisticated machinery and equipment there may be other clauses: technical conditions, test and inspection conditions, requirements to technical documentation, supervision of erection and putting the machinery into operation (commissioning), and sending specialists for the purpose, training of the Buyers' specialist, the Sellers' obligations for technical servicing and the like. These clauses may be included in the contract itself or in the Appendices to the contract which are an integral part of it.
When detailed special terms and conditions are introduced into the contract or the agreement, it is customary to draw up an individual contract or agreement in each particular case (e.g. a turnkey contract, a license agreement).
Sometimes Russian organizations use standard forms of contracts worked out by the biggest federations and associations of merchants and importers abroad, by exchanges, Chambers of Commerce and the like for use in particular trade.
These standard forms of contracts, for example, are used in grain trade, seed, sugar, cotton and other trades.
In the sale of Russian timber c.i.f. British ports a special form of contract has been adopted by the Timber Trade Federation of the UK and by V/O "Exportes".
