第二章 合同的訂立與代理人的權(quán)限
CHAPTER 2 — FORMATION AND AUTHORITY OF AGENTS
第一節(jié) 合同的訂立SECTION 1: FORMATION
第2.1.1條 訂立的形式
合同可通過(guò)對(duì)要約的承諾或通過(guò)能充分表明當(dāng)事人各方合意的行為而成立。
A contract may be concluded either by the acceptance of an offer or by conduct of the parties that is sufficient to show agreement.
第2.1.2條 要約的定義
一項(xiàng)訂立合同的建議，如果十分確定，并表明要約人在得到承諾時(shí)受其約束的意旨，即構(gòu)成一項(xiàng)要約。
A proposal for concluding a contract constitutes an offer if it is sufficiently definite and indicates the intention of the offeror to be bound in case of acceptance.
第2.1.3條 要約的撤回
(1)要約于送達(dá)受要約人時(shí)生效;
(1) An offer becomes effective when it reaches the offeree.
(2)一項(xiàng)要約即使是不可撤銷的，也可以撤回，如果撤回通知在要約送達(dá)受要約人之前或與要約同時(shí)送達(dá)受要約人。
(2) An offer, even if it is irrevocable, may be withdrawn if the withdrawal reaches the offeree before or at the same time as the offer.
第2.1.4條 要約的撤銷
(1)在合同訂立之前，要約得予撤銷，如果撤銷通知在受要約人發(fā)出承諾之前送達(dá)受要約人。
(1) Until a contract is concluded an offer may be revoked if the revocation reaches the offeree before it has dispatched an acceptance.
(2)但是，在下列情況下，要約不得撤銷:
(a)要約寫(xiě)明承諾的期限，或以其他方式表明要約是不可撤銷的;或
(a) if it indicates, whether by stating a fixed time for acceptance or otherwise, that it is irrevocable; or
(b)受要約人有理由信賴該項(xiàng)要約是不可撤銷的，且受要約人已依賴該要約行事。
(b) if it was reasonable for the offeree to rely on the offer as being irrevocable and the offeree has acted in reliance on the offer.
第2.1.5條 要約的拒絕
要約于拒絕通知送達(dá)要約人時(shí)終止。
An offer is terminated when a rejection reaches the offeror.
第2.1.6條 承諾的方式

(1) A statement made by or other conduct of the offeree indicating assent to an offer is an acceptance. Silence or inactivity does not in itself amount to acceptance.
(2)對(duì)一項(xiàng)要約的承諾于同意的表示送達(dá)要約人時(shí)生效。
(2) An acceptance of an offer becomes effective when the indication of assent reaches the offeror.
(3)但是，如果根據(jù)要約本身，或依照當(dāng)事人之間建立的習(xí)慣做法或依照慣例，受要約人可以通過(guò)做出某行為來(lái)表示同意，而無(wú)須向要約人發(fā)出通知，則承諾于做出該行為時(shí)生效。
(3) However, if, by virtue of the offer or as a result of practices which the parties have established between themselves or of usage, the offeree may indicate assent by performing an act without notice to the offeror, the acceptance is effective when the act is performed.
第2.1.7條 承諾的時(shí)間
要約必須在要約人規(guī)定的時(shí)間內(nèi)承諾;或者如果未規(guī)定時(shí)間，應(yīng)在考慮了交易的具體情況，包括要約人所使用的通訊方法的快捷程度的一段合理的時(shí)間內(nèi)做出承諾。對(duì)口頭要約必須立即做出承諾，除非情況有相反的表示。
An offer must be accepted within the time the offeror has fixed or, if no time is fixed, within a reasonable time having regard to the circumstances, including the rapidity of the means of communication employed by the offeror. An oral offer must be accepted immediately unless the circumstances indicate otherwise.
第2.1.8條 規(guī)定期限內(nèi)的承諾
要約人規(guī)定的承諾期限自要約發(fā)出時(shí)起算。要約中表示的日期應(yīng)被視為是要約發(fā)出的時(shí)間，除非情況有相反的表示。
A period of acceptance fixed by the offeror begins to run from the time that the offer is dispatched. A time indicated in the offer is deemed to be the time of dispatch unless the circumstances indicate otherwise.
第2.1.9條 逾期承諾與傳遞遲延
(1)逾期承諾仍應(yīng)具有承諾的效力，但要約人應(yīng)毫不遲延地告知受要約人該承諾具有效力或就此向受要約人發(fā)出通知。
(1) A late acceptance is nevertheless effective as an acceptance if without undue delay the offeror so informs the offeree or gives notice to that effect.
(2)如果載有逾期承諾的信息表明它是在如果傳遞正常即能及時(shí)被送達(dá)要約人的情況下發(fā)出的，則該逾期的承諾仍具有承諾的效力，除非要約人毫不遲延地通知受要約人此要約已失效。
(2) If a communication containing a late acceptance shows that it has been sent in such circumstances that if its transmission had been normal it would have reached the offeror in due time, the late acceptance is effective as an acceptance unless, without undue delay, the offeror informs the offeree that it considers the offer as having lapsed.
第2.1.10條 承諾的撤回
承諾可以撤回，只要撤回通知在承諾本應(yīng)生效之前或同時(shí)送達(dá)要約人。
An acceptance may be withdrawn if the withdrawal reaches the offeror before or at the same time as the acceptance would have become effective.
第2.1.11條 變更的承諾
(1)對(duì)要約意在表示承諾但載有添加、限制或其他變更的答復(fù)，即為對(duì)要約的拒絕，并構(gòu)成反要約。
(1)A reply to an offer which purports to be an acceptance but contains additions, limitations or other modifications is a rejection of the offer and constitutes a counter-offer.
(2)但是，對(duì)要約意在表示承諾但載有添加，或不同條件的答復(fù)，如果所載的添加或不同條件沒(méi)有實(shí)質(zhì)性地改變要約的條件，那么，除非要約人毫不遲延地表示拒絕這些不符，則此答復(fù)仍構(gòu)成承諾。如果要約人不做出拒絕，則合同的條款應(yīng)以該項(xiàng)要約的條款以及承諾通知中所載有的變更為準(zhǔn)。
(2) However, a reply to an offer which purports to be an acceptance but contains additional or different terms which do not materially alter the terms of the offer constitutes an acceptance, unless the offeror, without undue delay, objects to the discrepancy. If the offeror does not object, the terms of the contract are the terms of the offer with the modifications contained in the acceptance.
第2.1.12條 書(shū)面確認(rèn)
在合同訂立后一段合理時(shí)間內(nèi)發(fā)出的意在確認(rèn)合同的書(shū)面文件，如果載有添加或不同的條款，除非這些添加或不同條款實(shí)質(zhì)性地變更了合同，或者接收方毫不遲延地拒絕了這些不符，則這些條款應(yīng)構(gòu)成合同的一個(gè)組成部分。
If a writing which is sent within a reasonable time after the conclusion of the contract and which purports to be a confirmation of the contract contains additional or different terms, such terms become part of the contract, unless they materially alter the contract or the recipient, without undue delay, objects to the discrepancy.
第2.1.13條 合同的訂立基于對(duì)特定事項(xiàng)或特定形式的協(xié)議
ARTICLE 2.1.13 Conclusion of contract dependent on agreement on specific matters or in a particular form
在談判過(guò)程中，凡一方當(dāng)事人堅(jiān)持合同的訂立以對(duì)特定事項(xiàng)或以特定形式達(dá)成協(xié)議為條件的，則在對(duì)這些特定事項(xiàng)或形式達(dá)成協(xié)議之前，合同不能訂立。
Where in the course of negotiations one of the parties insists that the contract is not concluded until there is agreement on specific matters or in a particular form, no contract is concluded before agreement is reached on those matters or in that form.
第2.1.14條 特意待定的合同條款
(1)如果當(dāng)事人各方意在訂立一項(xiàng)合同，但卻有意將一項(xiàng)條款留待進(jìn)一步談判商定或由第三人確定，則這一事實(shí)并不妨礙合同的成立。
(1) If the parties intend to conclude a contract, the fact that they intentionally leave a term to be agreed upon in further negotiations or to be determined by a third person does not prevent a contract from coming into existence.
(2)考慮到當(dāng)事人各方的意思，如果在具體情況下存在一種可選擇的合理方法來(lái)確定此條款，則合同的存在不受此后發(fā)生的下列情況的影響:
(2) The existence of the contract is not affected by the fact that subsequently
(a)當(dāng)事人各方未就該條款達(dá)成協(xié)議;或
(b)第三人未確定此條款。
(b) the third person does not determine the term, provided that there is an alternative means of rendering the term definite that is reasonable in the circumstances, having regard to the intention of the parties.
第2.1.15條 惡意談判
(1)當(dāng)事人可自由進(jìn)行談判，并對(duì)未達(dá)成協(xié)議不承擔(dān)責(zé)任;
(1) A party is free to negotiate and is not liable for failure to reach an agreement.
(2)但是，一方當(dāng)事人如果惡意進(jìn)行談判或惡意終止談判，則該方當(dāng)事人應(yīng)對(duì)因此給另一方當(dāng)事人所造成的損失承擔(dān)責(zé)任;
(2) However, a party who negotiates or breaks off negotiations in bad faith is liable for the losses caused to the other party.
(3)惡意，特別是指一方當(dāng)事人在無(wú)意與對(duì)方達(dá)成協(xié)議的情況下，開(kāi)始或繼續(xù)進(jìn)行談判。
(3) It is bad faith, in particular, for a party to enter into or continue negotiations when intending not to reach an agreement with the other party.
第2.1.16條 保密義務(wù)
在談判過(guò)程中，一方當(dāng)事人以保密性質(zhì)提供的信息，無(wú)論此后是否達(dá)成合同，另一方當(dāng)事人有義務(wù)不予泄露，也不得為自己的目的不適當(dāng)?shù)厥褂眠@些信息。在適當(dāng)?shù)那闆r下，違反該義務(wù)的救濟(jì)可以包括根據(jù)另一方當(dāng)事人泄露該信息所獲得之利益予以賠償。
Where information is given as confidential by one party in the course of negotiations, the other party is under a duty not to disclose that information or to use it improperly for its own purposes, whether or not a contract is subsequently concluded. Where appropriate, the remedy for breach of that duty may include compensation based on the benefit received by the other party.
第2.1.17條 合并條款
若一個(gè)書(shū)面合同中載有的一項(xiàng)條款表明該合同包含了各方當(dāng)事人已達(dá)成一致的全部條款，則此前存在的任何陳述或協(xié)議不能被用作證據(jù)對(duì)抗或補(bǔ)充該合同。但是，這些陳述或協(xié)議可用于解釋該書(shū)面合同。
A contract in writing which contains a clause indicating that the writing completely embodies the terms on which the parties have agreed cannot be contradicted or supplemented by evidence of prior statements or agreements. However, such statements or agreements may be used to interpret the writing.
第2.1.18條 特定形式修改
如果書(shū)面合同中載有的一項(xiàng)條款要求合同的任何修改或終止必須以特定形式做出，則該合同不得以其他形式修改或終止。但是，在一方當(dāng)事人的行為使另一方當(dāng)事人產(chǎn)生信賴并依此行事的限度內(nèi)，則該一方當(dāng)事人因其行為可被拒絕主張本條款。
A contract in writing which contains a clause requiring any modification or termination by agreement to be in a particular form may not be otherwise modified or terminated. However, a party may be precluded by its conduct from asserting such a clause to the extent that the other party has reasonably acted in reliance on that conduct.
第2.1.19條 按標(biāo)準(zhǔn)條款訂立合同 ARTICLE 2.1.19
(1)一方或雙方當(dāng)事人使用標(biāo)準(zhǔn)條款訂立合同，適用訂立合同的一般規(guī)則，但應(yīng)受本章第2.1.20條至第2.1.22條的約束。
(1) Where one party or both parties use standard terms in concluding a contract, the general rules on formation apply, subject to Articles 2.1.20 - 2.1.22.
(2)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)條款是指一方為通常和重復(fù)使用的目的而預(yù)先準(zhǔn)備的條款， 并在實(shí)際使用時(shí)未與對(duì)方談判。
(2) Standard terms are provisions which are prepared in advance for general and repeated use by one party and which are actually used without negotiation with the other party.
第2.1.20條 意外條款
(1)如果標(biāo)準(zhǔn)條款中含有另一方當(dāng)事人不能合理預(yù)見(jiàn)性質(zhì)的條款，則該條款無(wú)效，除非對(duì)方明示地表示接受;
(1) No term contained in standard terms which is of such a character that the other party could not reasonably have expected it, is effective unless it has been expressly accepted by that party.
(2)在確定某一條款是否屬于這種性質(zhì)時(shí)，應(yīng)考慮到該條款的內(nèi)容、語(yǔ)言和表達(dá)方式。
(2) In determining whether a term is of such a character regard shall be had to its content, language and presentation.

ARTICLE 2.1.21 Conflict between standard terms and non-standard terms
若標(biāo)準(zhǔn)條款與非標(biāo)準(zhǔn)條款發(fā)生沖突，以非標(biāo)準(zhǔn)條款為準(zhǔn)。
In case of conflict between a standard term and a term which is not a standard term the latter prevails.
第2.1.22條 格式合同之爭(zhēng)
在雙方當(dāng)事人均使用標(biāo)準(zhǔn)條款的情況下，如果雙方對(duì)除標(biāo)準(zhǔn)條款以外的條款達(dá)成一致，則合同應(yīng)根據(jù)已達(dá)成一致的條款以及在實(shí)體內(nèi)容上相同的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)條款訂立，除非一方當(dāng)事人已事先明確表示或事后毫不遲延地通知另一方當(dāng)事人其不愿受這種合同的約束。
Where both parties use standard terms and reach agreement except on those terms, a contract is concluded on the basis of the agreed terms and of any standard terms which are common in substance unless one party clearly indicates in advance, or later and without undue delay informs the other party, that it does not intend to be bound by such a contract.
第二節(jié) 代理人的權(quán)限SECTION 2: AUTHORITY OF AGENTS
第2.2.1條 本節(jié)的范圍

(2) It governs only the relations between the principal or the agent on the one hand, and the third party on the other.
(3)本節(jié)并不調(diào)整由法律賦予代理人的權(quán)限，或由公共或司法機(jī)構(gòu)指定的代理人的權(quán)限。
(3) It does not govern an agent’s authority conferred by law or the authority of an agent appointed by a public or judicial authority.
第2.2.2條 代理人權(quán)限的確立和范圍

(1) Where an agent acts within the scope of its authority and the third party knew or ought to have known that the agent was acting as an agent, the acts of the agent shall directly affect the legal relations between the principal and the third party and no legal relation is created between the agent and the third party.
(2)但是，當(dāng)代理人經(jīng)本人同意成為合同一方時(shí)，則代理人的行為應(yīng)僅影響代理人和第三方之間的關(guān)系。
(2) However, the acts of the agent shall affect only the relations between the agent and the third party, where the agent with the consent of the principal undertakes to become the party to the contract.
第2.2.4條 隱名代理
(1)當(dāng)代理人在其權(quán)限范圍內(nèi)行事，但第三方既不知道也不應(yīng)知道代理人是作為代理人行事時(shí)，則代理人的行為將僅影響代理人與第三方之間的關(guān)系。
(1) Where an agent acts within the scope of its authority and the third party neither knew nor ought to have known that the agent was acting as an agent, the acts of the agent shall affect only the relations between the agent and the third party.
(2)然而，代理人當(dāng)代表一個(gè)商業(yè)與第三方達(dá)成合同時(shí)，聲稱是該商業(yè)的所有人，則第三方在發(fā)現(xiàn)該商業(yè)的真實(shí)所有者后，可以向后者行使其對(duì)代理人的權(quán)利。
(2) However, where such an agent, when contracting with the third party on behalf of a business, represents itself to be the owner of that business, the third party, upon discovery of the real owner of the business, may exercise also against the latter the rights it has against the agent.
第2.2.5條 代理人無(wú)權(quán)或越權(quán)行事
ARTICLE 2.2.5 Agent acting without or exceeding its authority

(2)但是，當(dāng)本人造成第三方合理地認(rèn)為代理人有權(quán)代表本人行事，且代理人是在該權(quán)限范圍內(nèi)行事時(shí)，則本人不得以代理人無(wú)代理權(quán)為由對(duì)抗第三方。
(2) However, where the principal causes the third party reasonably to believe that the agent has authority to act on behalf of the principal and that the agent is acting within the scope of that authority, the principal may not invoke against the third party the lack of authority of the agent.
第2.2.6條 代理人無(wú)權(quán)或越權(quán)行事的責(zé)任
(1)沒(méi)有代理權(quán)或超越代理權(quán)行事的代理人，如未經(jīng)本人追認(rèn)，則應(yīng)對(duì)第三人承擔(dān)將其恢復(fù)至如同代理人有代理權(quán)或未超越代理權(quán)行事時(shí)第三方應(yīng)處的同等狀況的責(zé)任。
(1) An agent that acts without authority or exceeds its authority is, failing ratification by the principal, liable for damages that will place the third party in the same position as if the agent had acted with authority and not exceeded its authority.
(2)但是，如果第三方已知或應(yīng)知代理人沒(méi)有代理權(quán)或超越代理權(quán)，則代理人不承擔(dān)責(zé)任。
(2) However, the agent is not liable if the third party knew or ought to have known that the agent had no authority or was exceeding its authority.
第2.2.7條 利益沖突
(1)如果代理人締結(jié)的合同涉及到代理人與本人存在利益沖突，而且第三方已知或應(yīng)知這一情況，則本人可主張合同無(wú)效。主張無(wú)效的權(quán)利由第3.12條和第3.14條至第3.17條調(diào)整。
(1) If a contract concluded by an agent involves the agent in a conflict of interests with the principal of which the third party knew or ought to have known, the principal may avoid the contract. The right to avoid is subject to Articles 3.12 and 3.14 to 3.17.
(2)但是，本人在以下情況不得主張合同無(wú)效:
(2) However, the principal may not avoid the contract
(a)本人已經(jīng)同意，或已知或應(yīng)知代理人涉及利益沖突;或
(a) if the principal had consented to, or knew or ought to have known of, the agent’s involvement in the conflict of interests; or
(b)代理人已經(jīng)披露與本人的利益沖突，但本人在合理時(shí)間內(nèi)并未提出反對(duì)。
(b) if the agent had disclosed the conflict of interests to the principal and the latter had not objected within a reasonable time.
第2.2.8條 次代理
代理人有指定次代理人履行那些非合理預(yù)期代理人本身履行的行為的默示權(quán)力。本節(jié)的規(guī)則適用于次代理。
An agent has implied authority to appoint a sub-agent to perform acts which it is not reasonable to expect the agent to perform itself. The rules of this Section apply to the sub-agency.
第2.2.9條 追認(rèn)
(1)代理人沒(méi)有代理權(quán)或超越代理權(quán)的行為可由本人追認(rèn)。經(jīng)追認(rèn)的行為如同代理人自始就依代理權(quán)行事產(chǎn)生同樣的效力。
(1) An act by an agent that acts without authority or exceeds its authority may be ratified by the principal. On ratification the act produces the same effects as if it had initially been carried out with authority.
(2)第三方可以通知本人在一段合理的時(shí)間內(nèi)追認(rèn)。本人如未在該時(shí)間內(nèi)追認(rèn)，則不能再予追認(rèn)。
(2) The third party may by notice to the principal specify a reasonable period of time for ratification. If the principal does not ratify within that period of time it can no longer do so.
(3)如果在代理人行事時(shí)，第三方既不知也不應(yīng)知代理人無(wú)權(quán)代理，則第三方可在本人追認(rèn)前，隨時(shí)通知本人表示拒絕受追認(rèn)的約束。
(3) If, at the time of the agent’s act, the third party neither knew nor ought to have known of the lack of authority, it may, at any time before ratification, by notice to the principal indicate its refusal to become bound by a ratification.

(1) A party may only avoid the contract for mistake if, when the contract was concluded, the mistake was of such importance that a reasonable person in the same situation as the party in error would only have concluded the contract on materially different terms or would not have concluded it at all if the true state of affairs had been known, and
(a)另一方當(dāng)事人犯了相同的錯(cuò)誤，或造成如此錯(cuò)誤，或者另一方當(dāng)事人知道或理應(yīng)知道該錯(cuò)誤，但卻有悖于公平交易的合理商業(yè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，使錯(cuò)誤方一直處于錯(cuò)誤狀態(tài)之中;或者
(a) the other party made the same mistake, or caused the mistake, or knew or ought to have known of the mistake and it was contrary to reasonable commercial standards of fair dealing to leave the mistaken party in error; or
(b)在宣告合同無(wú)效時(shí)，另一方當(dāng)事人尚未依其對(duì)合同的信賴而行事。

第3.9條 脅迫
一方當(dāng)事人可宣告合同無(wú)效，如果其合同的訂立是因另一方當(dāng)事人的不正當(dāng)之脅迫，而且考慮到在各種情況下，該脅迫如此急迫、嚴(yán)重到足以使第一方當(dāng)事人無(wú)其他合理選擇。尤其是當(dāng)使一方當(dāng)事人受到脅迫的作為或不作為本身屬非法，或者以其作為手段來(lái)獲取合同的訂立屬非法時(shí)，均為不正當(dāng)?shù)拿{迫。
A party may avoid the contract when it has been led to conclude the contract by the other party’s unjustified threat which, having regard to the circumstances, is so imminent and serious as to leave the first party no reasonable alternative. In particular, a threat is unjustified if the act or omission with which a party has been threatened is wrongful in itself, or it is wrongful to use it as a means to obtain the conclusion of the contract.
第3.10條 重大失衡
(1)在訂立合同時(shí)，合同或其個(gè)別條款不合理地對(duì)另一方當(dāng)事人過(guò)分有利，則一方當(dāng)事人可宣告該合同或該個(gè)別條款無(wú)效。除其他因素外，尚應(yīng)考慮下列各項(xiàng):
(1) A party may avoid the contract or an individual term of it if, at the time of the conclusion of the contract, the contract or term unjustifiably gave the other party an excessive advantage. Regard is to be had, among other factors, to
(a)該另一方當(dāng)事人不公平地利用了對(duì)方當(dāng)事人的依賴、經(jīng)濟(jì)困境或緊急需要，或不正當(dāng)?shù)乩昧藢?duì)方當(dāng)事人的缺乏遠(yuǎn)見(jiàn)、無(wú)知、無(wú)經(jīng)驗(yàn)或缺乏談判技巧的事實(shí)，以及
(a) the fact that the other party has taken unfair advantage of the first party’s dependence, economic distress or urgent needs, or of its improvidence, ignorance, inexperience or lack of bargaining skill, and
(b)合同的性質(zhì)和目的。(b) the nature and purpose of the contract.
(2)依有權(quán)宣告合同無(wú)效的一方當(dāng)事人的請(qǐng)求,法院可以修改該合同或其條款，以使其符合公平交易的合理的商業(yè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。
(2) Upon the request of the party entitled to avoidance, a court may adapt the contract or term in order to make it accord with reasonable commercial standards of fair dealing.
(3)依收到宣告合同無(wú)效通知的一方當(dāng)事人的請(qǐng)求，法院亦可修改合同或其條款，只要該方當(dāng)事人在收到此項(xiàng)通知后，且在對(duì)方當(dāng)事人依據(jù)該項(xiàng)通知行事前，立即將其請(qǐng)求告知對(duì)方當(dāng)事人。本章第3.13條第(2)款的規(guī)定此時(shí)應(yīng)予適用。
(3) A court may also adapt the contract or term upon the request of the party receiving notice of avoidance, provided that that party informs the other party of its request promptly after receiving such notice and before the other party has reasonably acted in reliance on it. The provisions of Article 3.13(2) apply accordingly.
第3.11條 第三人
(1)如果欺詐、脅迫、重大失衡或一方當(dāng)事人的錯(cuò)誤可歸因于第三人，或者該第三人知道或應(yīng)當(dāng)知道這些情況，而該第三人的行為由另一方當(dāng)事人負(fù)責(zé)，則可按該另一方當(dāng)事人本身所做行為或所知曉的相同條件，宣告該合同無(wú)效。
(1) Where fraud, threat, gross disparity or a party’s mistake is imputable to, or is known or ought to be known by, a third person for whose acts the other party is responsible, the contract may be avoided under the same conditions as if the behaviour or knowledge had been that of the party itself.
(2)如果欺詐、脅迫或重大失衡可歸因于第三人，而該第三人的行為不由另一方當(dāng)事人負(fù)責(zé)，在該另一方當(dāng)事人知道或理應(yīng)知道此欺詐、脅迫或重大失衡，或在宣告合同無(wú)效時(shí)尚未按照對(duì)該合同的信賴而行事的情況下，則該合同可被宣告無(wú)效。
(2) Where fraud, threat or gross disparity is imputable to a third person for whose acts the other party is not responsible, the contract may be avoided if that party knew or ought to have known of the fraud, threat or disparity, or has not at the time of avoidance reasonably acted in reliance on the contract.
第3.12條 確認(rèn)
有權(quán)宣告合同無(wú)效的一方當(dāng)事人如果在發(fā)出合同無(wú)效通知的期間開(kāi)始后，又明示或默示地確認(rèn)合同，則該方當(dāng)事人不得再宣告合同無(wú)效。
If the party entitled to avoid the contract expressly or impliedly confirms the contract after the period of time for giving notice of avoidance has begun to run, avoidance of the contract is excluded.
第3.13條 喪失宣告合同無(wú)效的權(quán)利
(1)如果一方當(dāng)事人有權(quán)因錯(cuò)誤宣告合同無(wú)效，而另一方當(dāng)事人聲明他將愿意按或已按有權(quán)宣告合同無(wú)效的一方當(dāng)事人對(duì)合同的理解履行合同，則該合同應(yīng)視為按照該一方當(dāng)事人的理解已經(jīng)訂立。該另一方當(dāng)事人在收到有權(quán)宣告合同無(wú)效的一方當(dāng)事人對(duì)合同的理解方式的通知后，而且在該一方當(dāng)事人依據(jù)宣告合同無(wú)效通知合理行事之前，必須立即做出此種聲明或進(jìn)行此種履行。
(1) If a party is entitled to avoid the contract for mistake but the other party declares itself willing to perform or performs the contract as it was understood by the party entitled to avoidance, the contract is considered to have been concluded as the latter party understood it. The other party must make such a declaration or render such performance promptly after having been informed of the manner in which the party entitled to avoidance had understood the contract and before that party has reasonably acted in reliance on a notice of avoidance.
(2)在做出此種聲明或履行之后，宣告合同無(wú)效的權(quán)利即行喪失，任何以前宣告合同無(wú)效的通知均喪失效力。
(2) After such a declaration or performance the right to avoidance is lost and any earlier notice of avoidance is ineffective.
第3.14條 宣告合同無(wú)效的通知
一方當(dāng)事人通過(guò)向另一方當(dāng)事人發(fā)出通知行使其宣告合同無(wú)效的權(quán)利。
The right of a party to avoid the contract is exercised by notice to the other party.
第3.15條 時(shí)間期限
(1)考慮到各種情況，宣告合同無(wú)效的通知，應(yīng)在宣告合同無(wú)效的一方當(dāng)事人已知或不可能不知道有關(guān)事實(shí)或者在其可以自由行事之后的一段合理時(shí)間內(nèi)做出。
(1) Notice of avoidance shall be given within a reasonable time, having regard to the circumstances, after the avoiding party knew or could not have been unaware of the relevant facts or became capable of acting freely.
(2)如果一方當(dāng)事人根據(jù)第3.10條的規(guī)定有權(quán)宣告合同中的個(gè)別條款無(wú)效，則宣告合同無(wú)效通知的期限自另一方當(dāng)事人堅(jiān)持該條款之時(shí)開(kāi)始。
(2) Where an individual term of the contract may be avoided by a party under Article 3.10, the period of time for giving notice of avoidance begins to run when that term is asserted by the other party.
第3.16條 部分無(wú)效
如果宣告合同無(wú)效的理由僅影響合同的個(gè)別條款，則宣告合同無(wú)效的效力僅限于這些條款，除非考慮到各種情況，維持合同的其余部分是不合理的。
Where a ground of avoidance affects only individual terms of the contract, the effect of avoidance is limited to those terms unless, having regard to the circumstances, it is unreasonable to uphold the remaining contract.
第3.17條 宣告合同無(wú)效的追溯力
(1)宣告合同無(wú)效具有追溯力。(1) Avoidance takes effect retroactively.
(2)宣告合同無(wú)效后，任何一方當(dāng)事人可要求返還其依據(jù)已被宣告無(wú)效的合同或部分合同所提供的一切，但要以該方當(dāng)事人也同時(shí)返還其依據(jù)已被宣告無(wú)效的合同或部分合同所得到的一切為條件，或者如雖不能返還實(shí)物，但對(duì)其所得之物給予補(bǔ)償。
(2) On avoidance either party may claim restitution of whatever it has supplied under the contract or the part of it avoided, provided that it concurrently makes restitution of whatever it has received under the contract or the part of it avoided or, if it cannot make restitution in kind, it makes an allowance for what it has received.
第3.18條 損害賠償
無(wú)論是否宣告合同無(wú)效，已知或理應(yīng)知道合同無(wú)效理由的一方當(dāng)事人應(yīng)承擔(dān)損害賠償?shù)呢?zé)任，以使另一方當(dāng)事人處于如同其未訂立合同的地位。
Irrespective of whether or not the contract has been avoided, the party who knew or ought to have known of the ground for avoidance is liable for damages so as to put the other party in the same position in which it would have been if it had not concluded the contract.
第3.19條 本章條款的強(qiáng)制性
本章的各項(xiàng)規(guī)定具有強(qiáng)制性，但那些有關(guān)協(xié)議的約束力、自始不能或錯(cuò)誤的規(guī)定除外。
The provisions of this Chapter are mandatory, except insofar as they relate to the binding force of mere agreement, initial impossibility or mistake.
第3.20條 單方聲明
本章各項(xiàng)規(guī)定在適當(dāng)修改后，適用于一方當(dāng)事人向另一方當(dāng)事人傳達(dá)的任何意思表示。
The provisions of this Chapter apply with appropriate adaptations to any communication of intention addressed by one party to the other.

第二章 合同的訂立與代理人的權(quán)限
CHAPTER 2 — FORMATION AND AUTHORITY OF AGENTS
第一節(jié) 合同的訂立SECTION 1: FORMATION
第2.1.1條 訂立的形式
合同可通過(guò)對(duì)要約的承諾或通過(guò)能充分表明當(dāng)事人各方合意的行為而成立。
A contract may be concluded either by the acceptance of an offer or by conduct of the parties that is sufficient to show agreement.
第2.1.2條 要約的定義
一項(xiàng)訂立合同的建議，如果十分確定，并表明要約人在得到承諾時(shí)受其約束的意旨，即構(gòu)成一項(xiàng)要約。
A proposal for concluding a contract constitutes an offer if it is sufficiently definite and indicates the intention of the offeror to be bound in case of acceptance.
第2.1.3條 要約的撤回
(1)要約于送達(dá)受要約人時(shí)生效;
(1) An offer becomes effective when it reaches the offeree.
(2)一項(xiàng)要約即使是不可撤銷的，也可以撤回，如果撤回通知在要約送達(dá)受要約人之前或與要約同時(shí)送達(dá)受要約人。
(2) An offer, even if it is irrevocable, may be withdrawn if the withdrawal reaches the offeree before or at the same time as the offer.
第2.1.4條 要約的撤銷
(1)在合同訂立之前，要約得予撤銷，如果撤銷通知在受要約人發(fā)出承諾之前送達(dá)受要約人。
(1) Until a contract is concluded an offer may be revoked if the revocation reaches the offeree before it has dispatched an acceptance.
(2)但是，在下列情況下，要約不得撤銷:
(a)要約寫(xiě)明承諾的期限，或以其他方式表明要約是不可撤銷的;或
(a) if it indicates, whether by stating a fixed time for acceptance or otherwise, that it is irrevocable; or
(b)受要約人有理由信賴該項(xiàng)要約是不可撤銷的，且受要約人已依賴該要約行事。
(b) if it was reasonable for the offeree to rely on the offer as being irrevocable and the offeree has acted in reliance on the offer.
第2.1.5條 要約的拒絕
要約于拒絕通知送達(dá)要約人時(shí)終止。
An offer is terminated when a rejection reaches the offeror.
第2.1.6條 承諾的方式
(1)受要約人做出的聲明或表示同意一項(xiàng)要約的其他行為構(gòu)成承諾。緘默或不行為本身不構(gòu)成承諾。
(1) A statement made by or other conduct of the offeree indicating assent to an offer is an acceptance. Silence or inactivity does not in itself amount to acceptance.
(2)對(duì)一項(xiàng)要約的承諾于同意的表示送達(dá)要約人時(shí)生效。
(2) An acceptance of an offer becomes effective when the indication of assent reaches the offeror.
(3)但是，如果根據(jù)要約本身，或依照當(dāng)事人之間建立的習(xí)慣做法或依照慣例，受要約人可以通過(guò)做出某行為來(lái)表示同意，而無(wú)須向要約人發(fā)出通知，則承諾于做出該行為時(shí)生效。
(3) However, if, by virtue of the offer or as a result of practices which the parties have established between themselves or of usage, the offeree may indicate assent by performing an act without notice to the offeror, the acceptance is effective when the act is performed.
第2.1.7條 承諾的時(shí)間
要約必須在要約人規(guī)定的時(shí)間內(nèi)承諾;或者如果未規(guī)定時(shí)間，應(yīng)在考慮了交易的具體情況，包括要約人所使用的通訊方法的快捷程度的一段合理的時(shí)間內(nèi)做出承諾。對(duì)口頭要約必須立即做出承諾，除非情況有相反的表示。
An offer must be accepted within the time the offeror has fixed or, if no time is fixed, within a reasonable time having regard to the circumstances, including the rapidity of the means of communication employed by the offeror. An oral offer must be accepted immediately unless the circumstances indicate otherwise.
第2.1.8條 規(guī)定期限內(nèi)的承諾
要約人規(guī)定的承諾期限自要約發(fā)出時(shí)起算。要約中表示的日期應(yīng)被視為是要約發(fā)出的時(shí)間，除非情況有相反的表示。
A period of acceptance fixed by the offeror begins to run from the time that the offer is dispatched. A time indicated in the offer is deemed to be the time of dispatch unless the circumstances indicate otherwise.
第2.1.9條 逾期承諾與傳遞遲延
(1)逾期承諾仍應(yīng)具有承諾的效力，但要約人應(yīng)毫不遲延地告知受要約人該承諾具有效力或就此向受要約人發(fā)出通知。
(1) A late acceptance is nevertheless effective as an acceptance if without undue delay the offeror so informs the offeree or gives notice to that effect.
(2)如果載有逾期承諾的信息表明它是在如果傳遞正常即能及時(shí)被送達(dá)要約人的情況下發(fā)出的，則該逾期的承諾仍具有承諾的效力，除非要約人毫不遲延地通知受要約人此要約已失效。
(2) If a communication containing a late acceptance shows that it has been sent in such circumstances that if its transmission had been normal it would have reached the offeror in due time, the late acceptance is effective as an acceptance unless, without undue delay, the offeror informs the offeree that it considers the offer as having lapsed.
第2.1.10條 承諾的撤回
承諾可以撤回，只要撤回通知在承諾本應(yīng)生效之前或同時(shí)送達(dá)要約人。
An acceptance may be withdrawn if the withdrawal reaches the offeror before or at the same time as the acceptance would have become effective.
第2.1.11條 變更的承諾
(1)對(duì)要約意在表示承諾但載有添加、限制或其他變更的答復(fù)，即為對(duì)要約的拒絕，并構(gòu)成反要約。
(1)A reply to an offer which purports to be an acceptance but contains additions, limitations or other modifications is a rejection of the offer and constitutes a counter-offer.
(2)但是，對(duì)要約意在表示承諾但載有添加，或不同條件的答復(fù)，如果所載的添加或不同條件沒(méi)有實(shí)質(zhì)性地改變要約的條件，那么，除非要約人毫不遲延地表示拒絕這些不符，則此答復(fù)仍構(gòu)成承諾。如果要約人不做出拒絕，則合同的條款應(yīng)以該項(xiàng)要約的條款以及承諾通知中所載有的變更為準(zhǔn)。
(2) However, a reply to an offer which purports to be an acceptance but contains additional or different terms which do not materially alter the terms of the offer constitutes an acceptance, unless the offeror, without undue delay, objects to the discrepancy. If the offeror does not object, the terms of the contract are the terms of the offer with the modifications contained in the acceptance.
第2.1.12條 書(shū)面確認(rèn)
在合同訂立后一段合理時(shí)間內(nèi)發(fā)出的意在確認(rèn)合同的書(shū)面文件，如果載有添加或不同的條款，除非這些添加或不同條款實(shí)質(zhì)性地變更了合同，或者接收方毫不遲延地拒絕了這些不符，則這些條款應(yīng)構(gòu)成合同的一個(gè)組成部分。
If a writing which is sent within a reasonable time after the conclusion of the contract and which purports to be a confirmation of the contract contains additional or different terms, such terms become part of the contract, unless they materially alter the contract or the recipient, without undue delay, objects to the discrepancy.
第2.1.13條 合同的訂立基于對(duì)特定事項(xiàng)或特定形式的協(xié)議
ARTICLE 2.1.13 Conclusion of contract dependent on agreement on specific matters or in a particular form
在談判過(guò)程中，凡一方當(dāng)事人堅(jiān)持合同的訂立以對(duì)特定事項(xiàng)或以特定形式達(dá)成協(xié)議為條件的，則在對(duì)這些特定事項(xiàng)或形式達(dá)成協(xié)議之前，合同不能訂立。
Where in the course of negotiations one of the parties insists that the contract is not concluded until there is agreement on specific matters or in a particular form, no contract is concluded before agreement is reached on those matters or in that form.
第2.1.14條 特意待定的合同條款
(1)如果當(dāng)事人各方意在訂立一項(xiàng)合同，但卻有意將一項(xiàng)條款留待進(jìn)一步談判商定或由第三人確定，則這一事實(shí)并不妨礙合同的成立。
(1) If the parties intend to conclude a contract, the fact that they intentionally leave a term to be agreed upon in further negotiations or to be determined by a third person does not prevent a contract from coming into existence.
(2)考慮到當(dāng)事人各方的意思，如果在具體情況下存在一種可選擇的合理方法來(lái)確定此條款，則合同的存在不受此后發(fā)生的下列情況的影響:
(2) The existence of the contract is not affected by the fact that subsequently
(a)當(dāng)事人各方未就該條款達(dá)成協(xié)議;或
(b)第三人未確定此條款。
(b) the third person does not determine the term, provided that there is an alternative means of rendering the term definite that is reasonable in the circumstances, having regard to the intention of the parties.
第2.1.15條 惡意談判
(1)當(dāng)事人可自由進(jìn)行談判，并對(duì)未達(dá)成協(xié)議不承擔(dān)責(zé)任;
(1) A party is free to negotiate and is not liable for failure to reach an agreement.
(2)但是，一方當(dāng)事人如果惡意進(jìn)行談判或惡意終止談判，則該方當(dāng)事人應(yīng)對(duì)因此給另一方當(dāng)事人所造成的損失承擔(dān)責(zé)任;
(2) However, a party who negotiates or breaks off negotiations in bad faith is liable for the losses caused to the other party.
(3)惡意，特別是指一方當(dāng)事人在無(wú)意與對(duì)方達(dá)成協(xié)議的情況下，開(kāi)始或繼續(xù)進(jìn)行談判。
(3) It is bad faith, in particular, for a party to enter into or continue negotiations when intending not to reach an agreement with the other party.
第2.1.16條 保密義務(wù)
在談判過(guò)程中，一方當(dāng)事人以保密性質(zhì)提供的信息，無(wú)論此后是否達(dá)成合同，另一方當(dāng)事人有義務(wù)不予泄露，也不得為自己的目的不適當(dāng)?shù)厥褂眠@些信息。在適當(dāng)?shù)那闆r下，違反該義務(wù)的救濟(jì)可以包括根據(jù)另一方當(dāng)事人泄露該信息所獲得之利益予以賠償。
Where information is given as confidential by one party in the course of negotiations, the other party is under a duty not to disclose that information or to use it improperly for its own purposes, whether or not a contract is subsequently concluded. Where appropriate, the remedy for breach of that duty may include compensation based on the benefit received by the other party.
第2.1.17條 合并條款
若一個(gè)書(shū)面合同中載有的一項(xiàng)條款表明該合同包含了各方當(dāng)事人已達(dá)成一致的全部條款，則此前存在的任何陳述或協(xié)議不能被用作證據(jù)對(duì)抗或補(bǔ)充該合同。但是，這些陳述或協(xié)議可用于解釋該書(shū)面合同。
A contract in writing which contains a clause indicating that the writing completely embodies the terms on which the parties have agreed cannot be contradicted or supplemented by evidence of prior statements or agreements. However, such statements or agreements may be used to interpret the writing.
第2.1.18條 特定形式修改
如果書(shū)面合同中載有的一項(xiàng)條款要求合同的任何修改或終止必須以特定形式做出，則該合同不得以其他形式修改或終止。但是，在一方當(dāng)事人的行為使另一方當(dāng)事人產(chǎn)生信賴并依此行事的限度內(nèi)，則該一方當(dāng)事人因其行為可被拒絕主張本條款。
A contract in writing which contains a clause requiring any modification or termination by agreement to be in a particular form may not be otherwise modified or terminated. However, a party may be precluded by its conduct from asserting such a clause to the extent that the other party has reasonably acted in reliance on that conduct.
第2.1.19條 按標(biāo)準(zhǔn)條款訂立合同 ARTICLE 2.1.19

(1) Where one party or both parties use standard terms in concluding a contract, the general rules on formation apply, subject to Articles 2.1.20 - 2.1.22.
(2)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)條款是指一方為通常和重復(fù)使用的目的而預(yù)先準(zhǔn)備的條款， 并在實(shí)際使用時(shí)未與對(duì)方談判。
(2) Standard terms are provisions which are prepared in advance for general and repeated use by one party and which are actually used without negotiation with the other party.
第2.1.20條 意外條款
(1)如果標(biāo)準(zhǔn)條款中含有另一方當(dāng)事人不能合理預(yù)見(jiàn)性質(zhì)的條款，則該條款無(wú)效，除非對(duì)方明示地表示接受;
(1) No term contained in standard terms which is of such a character that the other party could not reasonably have expected it, is effective unless it has been expressly accepted by that party.
(2)在確定某一條款是否屬于這種性質(zhì)時(shí)，應(yīng)考慮到該條款的內(nèi)容、語(yǔ)言和表達(dá)方式。
(2) In determining whether a term is of such a character regard shall be had to its content, language and presentation.

ARTICLE 2.1.21 Conflict between standard terms and non-standard terms
若標(biāo)準(zhǔn)條款與非標(biāo)準(zhǔn)條款發(fā)生沖突，以非標(biāo)準(zhǔn)條款為準(zhǔn)。
In case of conflict between a standard term and a term which is not a standard term the latter prevails.
第2.1.22條 格式合同之爭(zhēng)
在雙方當(dāng)事人均使用標(biāo)準(zhǔn)條款的情況下，如果雙方對(duì)除標(biāo)準(zhǔn)條款以外的條款達(dá)成一致，則合同應(yīng)根據(jù)已達(dá)成一致的條款以及在實(shí)體內(nèi)容上相同的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)條款訂立，除非一方當(dāng)事人已事先明確表示或事后毫不遲延地通知另一方當(dāng)事人其不愿受這種合同的約束。
Where both parties use standard terms and reach agreement except on those terms, a contract is concluded on the basis of the agreed terms and of any standard terms which are common in substance unless one party clearly indicates in advance, or later and without undue delay informs the other party, that it does not intend to be bound by such a contract.
第二節(jié) 代理人的權(quán)限SECTION 2: AUTHORITY OF AGENTS
第2.2.1條 本節(jié)的范圍
(1)本節(jié)調(diào)整某人(代理人)通過(guò)與第三方之間的一項(xiàng)合同的訂立或相關(guān)事項(xiàng)，影響另一人(本人)法律關(guān)系的權(quán)限，而不論代理人是以自己的名義還是以本人的名義行事。
(1) This Section governs the authority of a person(“the agent”), to affect the legal relations of another person(“the principal”), by or with respect to a contract with a third party, whether the agent acts in its own name or in that of the principal.
(2)本節(jié)僅調(diào)整以本人或代理人為一方當(dāng)事人，以第三方為另一方當(dāng)事人之間的關(guān)系。
(2) It governs only the relations between the principal or the agent on the one hand, and the third party on the other.
(3)本節(jié)并不調(diào)整由法律賦予代理人的權(quán)限，或由公共或司法機(jī)構(gòu)指定的代理人的權(quán)限。
(3) It does not govern an agent’s authority conferred by law or the authority of an agent appointed by a public or judicial authority.

(1)如當(dāng)代理人在其權(quán)限范圍內(nèi)行事，且第三方已知或應(yīng)知其以代理身份行事，代理人的行為將直接影響本人和第三方之間的法律關(guān)系，而在代理人和第三方之間不創(chuàng)設(shè)任何法律關(guān)系。
(1) Where an agent acts within the scope of its authority and the third party knew or ought to have known that the agent was acting as an agent, the acts of the agent shall directly affect the legal relations between the principal and the third party and no legal relation is created between the agent and the third party.
(2)但是，當(dāng)代理人經(jīng)本人同意成為合同一方時(shí)，則代理人的行為應(yīng)僅影響代理人和第三方之間的關(guān)系。
(2) However, the acts of the agent shall affect only the relations between the agent and the third party, where the agent with the consent of the principal undertakes to become the party to the contract.
第2.2.4條 隱名代理
(1)當(dāng)代理人在其權(quán)限范圍內(nèi)行事，但第三方既不知道也不應(yīng)知道代理人是作為代理人行事時(shí)，則代理人的行為將僅影響代理人與第三方之間的關(guān)系。
(1) Where an agent acts within the scope of its authority and the third party neither knew nor ought to have known that the agent was acting as an agent, the acts of the agent shall affect only the relations between the agent and the third party.
(2)然而，代理人當(dāng)代表一個(gè)商業(yè)與第三方達(dá)成合同時(shí)，聲稱是該商業(yè)的所有人，則第三方在發(fā)現(xiàn)該商業(yè)的真實(shí)所有者后，可以向后者行使其對(duì)代理人的權(quán)利。
(2) However, where such an agent, when contracting with the third party on behalf of a business, represents itself to be the owner of that business, the third party, upon discovery of the real owner of the business, may exercise also against the latter the rights it has against the agent.

(2)但是，當(dāng)本人造成第三方合理地認(rèn)為代理人有權(quán)代表本人行事，且代理人是在該權(quán)限范圍內(nèi)行事時(shí)，則本人不得以代理人無(wú)代理權(quán)為由對(duì)抗第三方。
(2) However, where the principal causes the third party reasonably to believe that the agent has authority to act on behalf of the principal and that the agent is acting within the scope of that authority, the principal may not invoke against the third party the lack of authority of the agent.

(1) An agent that acts without authority or exceeds its authority is, failing ratification by the principal, liable for damages that will place the third party in the same position as if the agent had acted with authority and not exceeded its authority.
(2)但是，如果第三方已知或應(yīng)知代理人沒(méi)有代理權(quán)或超越代理權(quán)，則代理人不承擔(dān)責(zé)任。
(2) However, the agent is not liable if the third party knew or ought to have known that the agent had no authority or was exceeding its authority.
第2.2.7條 利益沖突
(1)如果代理人締結(jié)的合同涉及到代理人與本人存在利益沖突，而且第三方已知或應(yīng)知這一情況，則本人可主張合同無(wú)效。主張無(wú)效的權(quán)利由第3.12條和第3.14條至第3.17條調(diào)整。
(1) If a contract concluded by an agent involves the agent in a conflict of interests with the principal of which the third party knew or ought to have known, the principal may avoid the contract. The right to avoid is subject to Articles 3.12 and 3.14 to 3.17.
(2)但是，本人在以下情況不得主張合同無(wú)效:
(2) However, the principal may not avoid the contract
(a)本人已經(jīng)同意，或已知或應(yīng)知代理人涉及利益沖突;或
(a) if the principal had consented to, or knew or ought to have known of, the agent’s involvement in the conflict of interests; or
(b)代理人已經(jīng)披露與本人的利益沖突，但本人在合理時(shí)間內(nèi)并未提出反對(duì)。
(b) if the agent had disclosed the conflict of interests to the principal and the latter had not objected within a reasonable time.
第2.2.8條 次代理
代理人有指定次代理人履行那些非合理預(yù)期代理人本身履行的行為的默示權(quán)力。本節(jié)的規(guī)則適用于次代理。
An agent has implied authority to appoint a sub-agent to perform acts which it is not reasonable to expect the agent to perform itself. The rules of this Section apply to the sub-agency.
第2.2.9條 追認(rèn)
(1)代理人沒(méi)有代理權(quán)或超越代理權(quán)的行為可由本人追認(rèn)。經(jīng)追認(rèn)的行為如同代理人自始就依代理權(quán)行事產(chǎn)生同樣的效力。
(1) An act by an agent that acts without authority or exceeds its authority may be ratified by the principal. On ratification the act produces the same effects as if it had initially been carried out with authority.
(2)第三方可以通知本人在一段合理的時(shí)間內(nèi)追認(rèn)。本人如未在該時(shí)間內(nèi)追認(rèn)，則不能再予追認(rèn)。
(2) The third party may by notice to the principal specify a reasonable period of time for ratification. If the principal does not ratify within that period of time it can no longer do so.
(3)如果在代理人行事時(shí)，第三方既不知也不應(yīng)知代理人無(wú)權(quán)代理，則第三方可在本人追認(rèn)前，隨時(shí)通知本人表示拒絕受追認(rèn)的約束。
(3) If, at the time of the agent’s act, the third party neither knew nor ought to have known of the lack of authority, it may, at any time before ratification, by notice to the principal indicate its refusal to become bound by a ratification.
第2.2.10條 代理權(quán)終止 ARTICLE 2.2.10
(1)代理權(quán)的終止對(duì)第三方不產(chǎn)生效力，除非第三方已知或應(yīng)知這一情況。
(1) Termination of authority is not effective in relation to the third party unless the third party knew or ought to have known of it.
(2)盡管代理權(quán)終止，但代理人仍有權(quán)為防止損害本人利益采取必 要的行為。
(2) Notwithstanding the termination of its authority, an agent remains authorised to perform the acts that are necessary to prevent harm to the principal’s interests.
第三章 合同的效力CHAPTER 3 — VALIDITY
第3.1條 未涉及事項(xiàng) ARTICLE 3.1(Matters not covered)
通則不處理由以下原因而導(dǎo)致的合同無(wú)效:
These Principles do not deal with invalidity arising from
(a)無(wú)行為能力;(a) lack of capacity;
(b)不道德或非法。(b) immorality or illegality.
第3.2條 協(xié)議的效力
合同僅由雙方的協(xié)議訂立、修改或終止，除此別無(wú)其他要求。
A contract is concluded, modified or terminated by the mere agreement of the parties, without any further requirement.
第3.3條 自始不能
(1)合同訂立時(shí)不能履行所承擔(dān)之義務(wù)的事實(shí)本身，不影響合同的效力。
(1) The mere fact that at the time of the conclusion of the contract the performance of the obligation assumed was impossible does not affect the validity of the contract.
(2)合同訂立時(shí)一方當(dāng)事人無(wú)權(quán)處置與該合同相關(guān)聯(lián)之財(cái)產(chǎn)的事實(shí)本身，不影響合同的效力。
(2) The mere fact that at the time of the conclusion of the contract a party was not entitled to dispose of the assets to which the contract relates does not affect the validity of the contract.
第3.4條 錯(cuò)誤的定義
錯(cuò)誤是指對(duì)合同訂立時(shí)已經(jīng)存在的事實(shí)或法律所做的不正確的假設(shè)。
Mistake is an erroneous assumption relating to facts or to law existing when the contract was concluded.
第3.5條 相關(guān)錯(cuò)誤
(1)一方當(dāng)事人可因錯(cuò)誤而宣告合同無(wú)效，此錯(cuò)誤在訂立合同時(shí)如此之重大，以至于一個(gè)通情達(dá)理的人處在與犯錯(cuò)誤之當(dāng)事人的相同情況之下，如果知道事實(shí)真相，就會(huì)按實(shí)質(zhì)不同的條款訂立合同，或根本不會(huì)訂立合同，并且
(1) A party may only avoid the contract for mistake if, when the contract was concluded, the mistake was of such importance that a reasonable person in the same situation as the party in error would only have concluded the contract on materially different terms or would not have concluded it at all if the true state of affairs had been known, and
(a)另一方當(dāng)事人犯了相同的錯(cuò)誤，或造成如此錯(cuò)誤，或者另一方當(dāng)事人知道或理應(yīng)知道該錯(cuò)誤，但卻有悖于公平交易的合理商業(yè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，使錯(cuò)誤方一直處于錯(cuò)誤狀態(tài)之中;或者
(a) the other party made the same mistake, or caused the mistake, or knew or ought to have known of the mistake and it was contrary to reasonable commercial standards of fair dealing to leave the mistaken party in error; or
(b)在宣告合同無(wú)效時(shí)，另一方當(dāng)事人尚未依其對(duì)合同的信賴而行事。
(b) the other party had not at the time of avoidance reasonably acted in reliance on the contract.
(2)但是，一方當(dāng)事人不能宣告合同無(wú)效，如果
(2) However, a party may not avoid the contract if
(a)該當(dāng)事人由于重大疏忽而犯此錯(cuò)誤;或者
(a) it was grossly negligent in committing the mistake; or
(b)錯(cuò)誤與某事實(shí)相關(guān)聯(lián)，而對(duì)于該事實(shí)發(fā)生錯(cuò)誤的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)已被設(shè)想到，或者考慮到相關(guān)情況，該錯(cuò)誤的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)應(yīng)當(dāng)由錯(cuò)誤方承擔(dān)。
(b) the mistake relates to a matter in regard to which the risk of mistake was assumed or, having regard to the circumstances, should be borne by the mistaken party.

第3.7條 對(duì)不履行的救濟(jì) ARTICLE 3.7 Remedies for non-performance
一方當(dāng)事人無(wú)權(quán)因錯(cuò)誤宣告合同無(wú)效，如果該方當(dāng)事人所依賴的情況表明對(duì)不履行可以或本來(lái)可以提供救濟(jì)。
A party is not entitled to avoid the contract on the ground of mistake if the circumstances on which that party relies afford, or could have afforded, a remedy for non-performance.
第3.8條 欺詐
一方當(dāng)事人可宣告合同無(wú)效，如果其訂立合同是基于另一方當(dāng)事人的欺詐性陳述，包括欺詐性的語(yǔ)言或做法，或按照公平交易的合理商業(yè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，該另一方當(dāng)事人對(duì)應(yīng)予披露的情況欺詐性地未予披露。
A party may avoid the contract when it has been led to conclude the contract by the other party’s fraudulent representation, including language or practices, or fraudulent non-disclosure of circumstances which, according to reasonable commercial standards of fair dealing, the latter party should have disclosed.
第3.9條 脅迫
一方當(dāng)事人可宣告合同無(wú)效，如果其合同的訂立是因另一方當(dāng)事人的不正當(dāng)之脅迫，而且考慮到在各種情況下，該脅迫如此急迫、嚴(yán)重到足以使第一方當(dāng)事人無(wú)其他合理選擇。尤其是當(dāng)使一方當(dāng)事人受到脅迫的作為或不作為本身屬非法，或者以其作為手段來(lái)獲取合同的訂立屬非法時(shí)，均為不正當(dāng)?shù)拿{迫。
A party may avoid the contract when it has been led to conclude the contract by the other party’s unjustified threat which, having regard to the circumstances, is so imminent and serious as to leave the first party no reasonable alternative. In particular, a threat is unjustified if the act or omission with which a party has been threatened is wrongful in itself, or it is wrongful to use it as a means to obtain the conclusion of the contract.
第3.10條 重大失衡
(1)在訂立合同時(shí)，合同或其個(gè)別條款不合理地對(duì)另一方當(dāng)事人過(guò)分有利，則一方當(dāng)事人可宣告該合同或該個(gè)別條款無(wú)效。除其他因素外，尚應(yīng)考慮下列各項(xiàng):
(1) A party may avoid the contract or an individual term of it if, at the time of the conclusion of the contract, the contract or term unjustifiably gave the other party an excessive advantage. Regard is to be had, among other factors, to
(a)該另一方當(dāng)事人不公平地利用了對(duì)方當(dāng)事人的依賴、經(jīng)濟(jì)困境或緊急需要，或不正當(dāng)?shù)乩昧藢?duì)方當(dāng)事人的缺乏遠(yuǎn)見(jiàn)、無(wú)知、無(wú)經(jīng)驗(yàn)或缺乏談判技巧的事實(shí)，以及
(a) the fact that the other party has taken unfair advantage of the first party’s dependence, economic distress or urgent needs, or of its improvidence, ignorance, inexperience or lack of bargaining skill, and
(b)合同的性質(zhì)和目的。(b) the nature and purpose of the contract.
(2)依有權(quán)宣告合同無(wú)效的一方當(dāng)事人的請(qǐng)求,法院可以修改該合同或其條款，以使其符合公平交易的合理的商業(yè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。
(2) Upon the request of the party entitled to avoidance, a court may adapt the contract or term in order to make it accord with reasonable commercial standards of fair dealing.
(3)依收到宣告合同無(wú)效通知的一方當(dāng)事人的請(qǐng)求，法院亦可修改合同或其條款，只要該方當(dāng)事人在收到此項(xiàng)通知后，且在對(duì)方當(dāng)事人依據(jù)該項(xiàng)通知行事前，立即將其請(qǐng)求告知對(duì)方當(dāng)事人。本章第3.13條第(2)款的規(guī)定此時(shí)應(yīng)予適用。
(3) A court may also adapt the contract or term upon the request of the party receiving notice of avoidance, provided that that party informs the other party of its request promptly after receiving such notice and before the other party has reasonably acted in reliance on it. The provisions of Article 3.13(2) apply accordingly.
第3.11條 第三人
(1)如果欺詐、脅迫、重大失衡或一方當(dāng)事人的錯(cuò)誤可歸因于第三人，或者該第三人知道或應(yīng)當(dāng)知道這些情況，而該第三人的行為由另一方當(dāng)事人負(fù)責(zé)，則可按該另一方當(dāng)事人本身所做行為或所知曉的相同條件，宣告該合同無(wú)效。
(1) Where fraud, threat, gross disparity or a party’s mistake is imputable to, or is known or ought to be known by, a third person for whose acts the other party is responsible, the contract may be avoided under the same conditions as if the behaviour or knowledge had been that of the party itself.
(2)如果欺詐、脅迫或重大失衡可歸因于第三人，而該第三人的行為不由另一方當(dāng)事人負(fù)責(zé)，在該另一方當(dāng)事人知道或理應(yīng)知道此欺詐、脅迫或重大失衡，或在宣告合同無(wú)效時(shí)尚未按照對(duì)該合同的信賴而行事的情況下，則該合同可被宣告無(wú)效。
(2) Where fraud, threat or gross disparity is imputable to a third person for whose acts the other party is not responsible, the contract may be avoided if that party knew or ought to have known of the fraud, threat or disparity, or has not at the time of avoidance reasonably acted in reliance on the contract.
第3.12條 確認(rèn)
有權(quán)宣告合同無(wú)效的一方當(dāng)事人如果在發(fā)出合同無(wú)效通知的期間開(kāi)始后，又明示或默示地確認(rèn)合同，則該方當(dāng)事人不得再宣告合同無(wú)效。
If the party entitled to avoid the contract expressly or impliedly confirms the contract after the period of time for giving notice of avoidance has begun to run, avoidance of the contract is excluded.
第3.13條 喪失宣告合同無(wú)效的權(quán)利
(1)如果一方當(dāng)事人有權(quán)因錯(cuò)誤宣告合同無(wú)效，而另一方當(dāng)事人聲明他將愿意按或已按有權(quán)宣告合同無(wú)效的一方當(dāng)事人對(duì)合同的理解履行合同，則該合同應(yīng)視為按照該一方當(dāng)事人的理解已經(jīng)訂立。該另一方當(dāng)事人在收到有權(quán)宣告合同無(wú)效的一方當(dāng)事人對(duì)合同的理解方式的通知后，而且在該一方當(dāng)事人依據(jù)宣告合同無(wú)效通知合理行事之前，必須立即做出此種聲明或進(jìn)行此種履行。
(1) If a party is entitled to avoid the contract for mistake but the other party declares itself willing to perform or performs the contract as it was understood by the party entitled to avoidance, the contract is considered to have been concluded as the latter party understood it. The other party must make such a declaration or render such performance promptly after having been informed of the manner in which the party entitled to avoidance had understood the contract and before that party has reasonably acted in reliance on a notice of avoidance.
(2)在做出此種聲明或履行之后，宣告合同無(wú)效的權(quán)利即行喪失，任何以前宣告合同無(wú)效的通知均喪失效力。
(2) After such a declaration or performance the right to avoidance is lost and any earlier notice of avoidance is ineffective.
第3.14條 宣告合同無(wú)效的通知
一方當(dāng)事人通過(guò)向另一方當(dāng)事人發(fā)出通知行使其宣告合同無(wú)效的權(quán)利。
The right of a party to avoid the contract is exercised by notice to the other party.
第3.15條 時(shí)間期限
(1)考慮到各種情況，宣告合同無(wú)效的通知，應(yīng)在宣告合同無(wú)效的一方當(dāng)事人已知或不可能不知道有關(guān)事實(shí)或者在其可以自由行事之后的一段合理時(shí)間內(nèi)做出。
(1) Notice of avoidance shall be given within a reasonable time, having regard to the circumstances, after the avoiding party knew or could not have been unaware of the relevant facts or became capable of acting freely.
(2)如果一方當(dāng)事人根據(jù)第3.10條的規(guī)定有權(quán)宣告合同中的個(gè)別條款無(wú)效，則宣告合同無(wú)效通知的期限自另一方當(dāng)事人堅(jiān)持該條款之時(shí)開(kāi)始。
(2) Where an individual term of the contract may be avoided by a party under Article 3.10, the period of time for giving notice of avoidance begins to run when that term is asserted by the other party.
第3.16條 部分無(wú)效
如果宣告合同無(wú)效的理由僅影響合同的個(gè)別條款，則宣告合同無(wú)效的效力僅限于這些條款，除非考慮到各種情況，維持合同的其余部分是不合理的。
Where a ground of avoidance affects only individual terms of the contract, the effect of avoidance is limited to those terms unless, having regard to the circumstances, it is unreasonable to uphold the remaining contract.
第3.17條 宣告合同無(wú)效的追溯力
(1)宣告合同無(wú)效具有追溯力。(1) Avoidance takes effect retroactively.
(2)宣告合同無(wú)效后，任何一方當(dāng)事人可要求返還其依據(jù)已被宣告無(wú)效的合同或部分合同所提供的一切，但要以該方當(dāng)事人也同時(shí)返還其依據(jù)已被宣告無(wú)效的合同或部分合同所得到的一切為條件，或者如雖不能返還實(shí)物，但對(duì)其所得之物給予補(bǔ)償。
(2) On avoidance either party may claim restitution of whatever it has supplied under the contract or the part of it avoided, provided that it concurrently makes restitution of whatever it has received under the contract or the part of it avoided or, if it cannot make restitution in kind, it makes an allowance for what it has received.
第3.18條 損害賠償
無(wú)論是否宣告合同無(wú)效，已知或理應(yīng)知道合同無(wú)效理由的一方當(dāng)事人應(yīng)承擔(dān)損害賠償?shù)呢?zé)任，以使另一方當(dāng)事人處于如同其未訂立合同的地位。
Irrespective of whether or not the contract has been avoided, the party who knew or ought to have known of the ground for avoidance is liable for damages so as to put the other party in the same position in which it would have been if it had not concluded the contract.
第3.19條 本章條款的強(qiáng)制性
本章的各項(xiàng)規(guī)定具有強(qiáng)制性，但那些有關(guān)協(xié)議的約束力、自始不能或錯(cuò)誤的規(guī)定除外。
The provisions of this Chapter are mandatory, except insofar as they relate to the binding force of mere agreement, initial impossibility or mistake.
第3.20條 單方聲明
本章各項(xiàng)規(guī)定在適當(dāng)修改后，適用于一方當(dāng)事人向另一方當(dāng)事人傳達(dá)的任何意思表示。
The provisions of this Chapter apply with appropriate adaptations to any communication of intention addressed by one party to the other.
