24. Contraсt and Its Parts.
A contract is a legally binding agreement between two or more people. Contracts can be oral or written. However, even for relatively straightforward arrangements, it’s a good idea to have a written contract, as it minimises misunderstandings and leads to fewer disputes. With an oral contract, it may be difficult to prove exactly what was agreed to, or even if a contract existed.
In some industries, written contracts are compulsory. A contract has three elements:
an offer;
an acceptance – eg. this may be done by the seller agreeing to supply the goods or services.
consideration – this is the value (usually money) that is given in return for the goods or services offered to be supplied or acquired. It may also be the promise to pay at a later date after certain events occur or procedures are followed.
Consumers should be aware however, that payment of a deposit and/or signing any documents may well mean they have entered into a contract and are bound by the terms and conditions of that contract.
Be aware that despite what is in the contract, there may be terms and conditions outside the agreement that the law imposes.
Before signing a contract the parties involved should:
be sure they really want and know what they are signing for.
read every word - including the fine print
seek legal advice if they don't understand the contract
not be pressured into signing anything
if necessary, take the contract home overnight and read it through
never sign a contract that contains blank spaces
make sure that all parties initial any changes that are made to the contract they sign
always get a copy of any contract they sign.
Once a contract has been signed, neither party can change their mind – both parties are locked in. If either party still wishes to pull out of the contract before it is finished, they may end up paying a penalty (sometimes the full amount of the contract) or the other party may take them to court to recover their losses.
Some contracts may allow a party to 'opt out' or terminate the contract early, with or without a penalty. If either party wishes to have an opting-out clause in the contract, they should seek independent legal advice to make sure they are properly covered.
As mentioned earlier, a contract can be made without a party being aware of it. For example, a book store promising to obtain a book for a customer and taking a deposit from the customer is entering into a contract. By the book store accepting the deposit and the customer offering to pay the balance later, a contractual arrangement has been agreed to.
Переклад - Контракт і його частини.
Контракт - обов'язкова до виконання угода між двома або більше людей. Контракти можуть бути усні або написані. Проте, навіть для відносно простих аранжувань, це - хороша ідея, щоб мати письмовий договір, оскільки це мінімізує непорозуміння і приводить до менших суперечок. З усним контрактом, це, можливо, важко, щоб довести точно, що було погоджене, або навіть якщо контракт існував.
У деякій промисловості, письмові договори обов'язкові. Контракт має три елемента:
1. пропозиція.
2. акцептація – це, можливо, робиться торговцем, згідним забезпечувати товари або послуги.
3. розгляд – це значення (зазвичай гроші), яке дається у відповідь на товари, або послуги запропонували, щоб забезпечуватися або отримуватися. Це, можливо, також є обіцянкою, щоб сплатити в пізнішій даті після того, як певні події відбуваються або за процедурами слідує.
Споживачі мають бути обізнані проте, що оплата депозиту і/або підписуючи будь-які документи може колодязь mean вони уклали договір і зв'язані постановами і умовами цього контракту. Будьте обізнані, що не дивлячись на те, що знаходиться в контракті, можливо, є постанови і умови за межами угоди що закон накладає.
