Денис Шевчук: Внешнеторговый международный контракт: типовой образец, пример контракта, экономические и юридические аспекты

In regard to substance, the UNIDROIT Principles are sufficiently flexible to take account of the constantly changing circumstances caused by technological and economic developments that affect cross-border trade practice. At the same time they attempt to ensure fairness in international commercial relations by expressly stating the general duty of the parties to act in accordance with good faith and fair dealing and, in a number of specific instances, imposing standards of reasonable behaviour.

When drawing up a contract, buyer and seller may also refer to one of the ICC Incoterms to be sure that respective responsibilities are simply and reliably defined. By so doing they eliminate any possibility of misunderstanding and subsequent dispute.

One should also mention further development of international unification of commercial practices through model clauses or even model contracts formulated by leading experts in the field of contract law and international trade law as well as interested business circles on the basis of current trade practices. The ICC Model International Sale Contract (ICC publication № 556) was first published in 1997.

SOURCES OF LAW GOVERNING CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS

RUSSIAN LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS

In accordance with the Constitution of the Russian Federation, article 15(4) and article 7(1) of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation (CC RF) Russia’s international agreements form an integral part of its legal system.

В соответствии с Конституцией Российской Федерации ( п.4 ст.15 ) и соответствующим ей правилом Гражданского Кодекса Российской Федерации ( ГК РФ )( п.1 ст.7 ) международные договоры Российской Федерации являются частью ее правовой системы .

Article 7(2) CC RF also stipulates that if an international treaty of the Russian Federation has established rules other than those provided by civil legislation, the rules of the international treaty shall apply.

Согласно п.2 ст.7 ГК РФ, если международным договором Российской Федерации установлены иные правила, чем предусмотренные законом, то применяются правила международного договора .

The general rule is that provisions in an international agreement itself should determine whether to apply CC RF provisions instead of those formulated in the international agreement, or whether to apply the CC RF as a subsidiary statute when the international agreement contains gaps and when Russian legislation is the governing law.

Общее правило состоит в том, что положения самого международного договора определяют возможность применения положений ГК РФ вместо положений международного договора или в качестве дополнительного статуса, в последнем случае – для восполнения пробелов, имеющихся в международном договоре .

UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS,VIENNA,1980

In relation to the 1980 Vienna Convention, if an international contract of sale falls under its sphere of operation, the application of national civil legislation is permitted if the parties excluded the application of the 1980 Vienna Convention in full or in part or derogated from any of its provisions. According to article 6 of the Vienna Convention "the parties may exclude the application of this Convention or, subject to article 12, derogate from or vary the effect of any of its provisions". It follows from this that the 1980 Vienna Convention is dispositive in character.
