9. Read the information about sales contract and translate it into Russian.
The sales contract is the legally binding agreement reached by the seller and the buyer (the parties to the contract). It can be made orally or in writing, although it is usual for the contract to be drawn up in writing to prevent disputes.
There are three ways to conclude a sales contract:
1. This is the most normal way of concluding a sales contract, because most offers are non-binding. As non-binding offers can be changed or withdrawn at any time, a sales contract does not exist until the seller confirms the order, making any changes impossible.
2. Sellers tend to make firm offers when trading in goods where the prices fluctuate a lot. They set a fixed price and if the buyer doesn't place an order within the period of time where this price is valid, the offer expires. The seller can then make another offer with new prices to keep up with the prices on the market.
3. In this case, if the buyer is not interested in the goods, he is expected to return them within a certain period of time, otherwise he will have to pay for them.
After a sales contract has been concluded, the seller and buyer have to fulfil certain liabilities.
The seller's liabilities are:
To deliver the goods on time and in perfect condition.
To ensure that the title to the goods is transferred to the buyer – in other words, the seller has to make sure that the buyer becomes the owner of the goods. This is normally done by passing a special document, the document of title, to the buyer.
The buyer's liabilities are:
To accept delivery of the goods (this prevents him changing his mind after the goods have been sent).
To pay for the goods within the time agreed.
If one party doesn't fulfill its liabilities, the contract is broken (this is called breach of contract). In this case the other party (the injured party) can claim compensation.
10. Did a breach of contract take place? If so, how? If not, why not?
A mail order company sent some goods to Mr. Williams. However, he refused to accept delivery of them as they had not been ordered.
Mr. Abraham ordered 20 televisions from a company selling electrical goods. However, he had to return one of the televisions because it didn't work.
Mr. Watson refused to pay the full price for a customised machine he had ordered, because it didn't exactly meet the specifications he had given.
Mr. Adams sent a free sample of wine glasses to a potential new customer. Unfortunately, the package burst open in the post and the glasses were broken.
Mr. Wright sent some spare parts to an airline. However, a series of staff strikes brought the airline into financial difficulties and his invoice was only paid six months later.
