4.中国与法国均系《联合国国际货物销售合同公约》缔约国,洽谈过程中,双方对《公约》均未排除或作出任何保留.因此,双方当事人均应受该《公约》约束。
按《公约》规定:
对口头要约,须立即接受方能成立合同。
据此,我方鉴于市场有趋涨迹象,可以予以拒绝或提高售价继续洽谈。
5.中国与意大利均系《联合国国际货物销售合同公约》缔约国,该案双方洽谈过程中,均未排除或作出任何保留,因此,双方当事人均应受《公约》约束.我方于11日收到意商的接受电报属因传递延误而造成的逾期接受.因此,如我方不能同意此项交易,应即复电通知对方:
我方原发盘已经失效。
如我方鉴于其他原因,愿按原发盘达成交易,订立合同,可回电确信,也可不予答复,此时接受即告失效。
6.A公司与B公司的第一封信函可视为发盘,在该发盘中A公司对包装做出了要求。
而B公司对该发盘中包装条款进行了修改,可视为还盘,或新的发盘,B公司发出还盘后A公司未进行回复,虽然它用行动表明受B公司发盘约束,但没有明确向B公司表示接受,此时认为合同未成立。
因此,B公司以此为由,拒不履行合同。
A公司将陷入被动。
为了避免出现此情况,A公司在收到B公司发盘时,应及时表示接受。
7.AccordingtoArticle11ofCISG:
“Acontractofsaleneednotbeconcludedin,orevidencedby,writingandisnotsubjecttoanyotherrequirementastoform.Itmaybeprovedbyanymeans,includingwitnesses。
”ThoughChinaandtheUSarebothmembercountriesoftheCISG,Chinadeclaredthatitwon'tbeboundbyArticle11anditsrelatedarticles。
