4、成 offer of CISG Art14 acceptance of CISG1. A proposal for concluding a contract 2. offer must be addressed to only one or more specific persons unless the contrary is clearly indicated by the person making the offer. 1承诺必须由受要约人或代理人做出2. 承诺必须向要约人做出；3. sufficiently definite (goods and expressly implied

5、ly fixes or makes provision for determining the quantity and price) 3.承诺的内容必须与要约的内容一致4.承诺必须在要约有效期内做出4. intention of offeror to be bound in case of acceptance. CISG承诺的条件是基于要约的要求的逻辑推断,是学理上的规则,不是CISG法条的直接规定,，此外，承诺规则的数量也是可以增加的，两者之间的对应关系是非常值得研究的.6CISG承诺条件 v. COMMON LAW CISG common law1. 承诺必须由受要约人或代理人做出；1

7、able time. 7CISG承诺构成 v. UNIDROIT CISG UNIDROIT 1. 承诺必须由受要约人或代理人做出；没有直接规定的法条。2. 承诺必须向要约人或其代理人做出；none3.承诺的内容必须与要约的内容一致没有直接规定的法条。4.承诺必须在要约有效期内做出Art 2.1.7: An offer must be accepted within the time the offeror has fixed or if no time is fixed ,within reasonable time having regard to the circumstance ,In

8、cluding the rapidity of the means of communication employed by the offeror.An oral offer must be accepted immediately unless the circumstance indicate otherwise. UNIDROIT Art 2.1.8: A period of acceptance fixed by the offeror begins to run from the time that dispatched.A time indicated in the offer

9、is deemed to be the time of dispatch unless circumstance indicate otherwise 8对CISG承诺构成规则的评价不同于CISG要约来自法律的直接归定，CISG的四条规则在性质上是学理归纳，不是法律直接规定，因此，呈现如下问题：1.承诺四条规则在数量上不是绝对的，是可以增加的。2.四条规则在内容上也不是绝对的，它并不能涵盖承诺的所有基本问题3.国外的有关专著和UNIDROIT就没有承诺构成条件之说。我国合同法第14条规定了要约的构成的条件，对承诺也没有相关规定。4. CISG要约构成条件与承诺构成应该具有对应关系，这种关系值得

10、研究。9CISG向我们提供了四条承诺规则，该四条规则能够基本涵盖国际货物买卖合同成立中的必要的法律问题？不！CISG依赖国内合同法或买卖法来回答许多合同成立的具体实务问题。即便是CISG法律框架内的问题，都需要国内法加于填补，特别是common law case 来补充，更不要说，CISG法律框架以外的问题了。对国际货物买卖合同的成立不能对CISG抱有绝对的希望！ 信任而不迷信！10与CISG承诺构成规则有关的实务问题研究 CISG 我合同法 1. 承诺必须由受要约人或代理人做出；承诺是受要约人同意要约的意思表示Art21实务问题: ( 1)承诺做出的方式 （Art22） - 口头方式? -

11、非对话方式(书面方式, 行为方式)? - 沉默可否作为承诺的方式?（2）受约人在主观上是否必须对要约知情并同时依赖要约做出承诺,否则承诺无效？11ACCEPTANCE MUST BE IN RESPONSE TO AND IN RELIANCE OF AN OFFER ?R v Clarke 1972 Clarke had been arrested on a murder charge. For getting rid of the murder charge , but not for an reward to the public for $2000 (悬赏广告), he gave in

12、formation to police which led to a conviction of the actual offenders . But later, he tried to claim the rewardCourt held : Clarke was not entitled to claim the reward because his acceptance was not based on the reward but on the desire to clear himself of the charge. So his supply of information wa

13、s not the acceptance to the offer of reward.12 CISG 我合同法 2. 承诺必须向要约人或其代理人做出；向谁做出同意的意思表示?none3.承诺的内容必须与要约的内容一致实务问题：如果承诺对要约做了变更或添加 (Art 19) -实质性的 -非实质性的“实质性” (Art 19) p63承诺的内容应当与要约的内容一致 (Art30)实务问题：如果承诺对要约做了变更或添加(Art 30/31) -实质性的 -非实质性的“实质性”Art30 (见后面)13 CISG “实质性” (Art 19) p63我合同法 Art30有关货物的有关合同的？标的P

15、等14追问CISG Art19下添加、变更、限制的 “实质性”除去， CISG Art19已经列明的项目外，未列入的如下项目的添加、变更、限制，不构成“实质性”吗？- 保险？- 包装？- 商检？- 不可抗力？- 产地证？- 进出口许可证或配额？Key：对“实质性”的理解，不仅仅依据19条，在某些情况下，应依据Art9 考虑 当事人之间已经确立的交易惯例和习惯（based established usage and practice），以及案件的交易过程（actual course of dealing）。对CISG的理解，不能对条文孤立理解，要相互对照，全面认识。 15STOP FOR THE

19、nable time.-承诺通知到达要约人时生效。-承诺不需要通知的，根据交易习惯或者要约的要求作出承诺的行为时生效。-采用数据电文形式订立合同的，承诺到达的时间以数据电文到达特定系统为准。(见后面PPT)问题与思考: 承诺的生效与要约的生效20实务问题：承诺到达的法律意义-Firstly, the arriving moment of the acceptance means the time that contract becomes binding ,thus giving rise to starting binding moment of the rights and duties；

20、-secondly，in the case of contract being rendered invalid or revoked , the arriving moment of the acceptance is just the time to invalidate or revocate the contract；-Lastly, the arriving moment of the acceptance determines the right moment when the contract is concluded and then determines the issues

21、 of jurisdiction and governing law。21SILENCE DEEMED AS A ACCEPTANCE ?Felthouse v. Bindley(1862) Felthouse wrote to his nephew offering to buy a horse. In the letter Felthouse told his nephew that if Felthouse did not get a response from his nephew, he would consider the offer has been accepted.Court

22、 held: nephews acceptance had not been communicated, as silence could not used as the means of acceptance ,unless otherwise agreed. therefore , there was no contract between them.合同成立22silent acceptance: 两例比较Case 1On June 1st Seller sends Buyer an offer to sell the a specified type and quality of go

Seller shipped the goods on June 16.Contract concluded ? 23silent acceptance: 两例比较Case 2 On June 1st Buyer delivered the following to the seller

24、 “please rush price quotation for the following goods if you dont hear form me within three days after I received your quotation ,consider your offer as accepted ”The seller delivered the quotation to the buyer on June 3, buyer did not respond until June 10.later buyer rejected the contract that sel

25、ler believed has been concluded.Contract concluded ?24silent acceptance: 两例比较Key:In Case 1, the contract is not concluded as Silent acceptance from offeree (the buyer) is not legally valid In case 2, the contract is concluded as the offeree (the buyer ) is voluntarily willing to be legally bound by

26、the contract if he does not respond to the seller within 3 days after receiving the quotation (offer) 25 CISG Art22 COMMON LAWan acceptance may be withdrawn if the withdraw reaches the offeror before or at the same time as the acceptance would have become effective POSTAL RULEAcceptance by letter (t

27、elegram) becomes effective once the acceptance is posted, regardless of whether the acceptance is delayed or lost in the postal system. However, this rule does not apply if the parties have agreed otherwise. 26 实务问题：application of Postal Rulemeans acceptance offerFax/email/telephoneReception rule (到

28、达规则): The mail of acceptance becomes valid once it reaches the offeror. See: acceptance by fax and email (next slid)Reception ruleLettertelegramPostal rule （投邮规则）:Once letter /telegram posted (mailed, shipped) the offer is accepted, unless otherwise agreed. USA: Mail Box Rule - Acceptance becomes ef

29、fective on dispatch, unless both parties otherwise agreed. Reception rule27实务问题：To become effective for the acceptance by fax and email Acceptance by instantaneous communication generally occurs when it is received- A fax sent during regular business hours is probably accepted when it reaches the of

30、ferors fax machine.-In negotiations by email, acceptance is likely to be communicated when the offeror “log into ”the system.28To become effective for the other notifications -Notification of withdrawal of offer;-Notification of revocation of offer;-Notification of withdrawal of acceptance;-Notifica

31、tion of amendment to the offer (purported acceptance);- other notifications for cancelling or conforming contractual intention either in oral form or writing form.Key: “communicated” or “ reached”29规则研究之三：CISG 承诺的撤回 CISG Art22 我合同法Art27an acceptance may be withdrawn if the withdraw reaches the offer

32、or before or at the same time as the acceptance would have become effective 承诺可以撤回。撤回承诺的通知应在承诺通知到达要约人之前或者与承诺通知同时到达要约人。UNIDROIT ART 2.1.10an acceptance may be withdrawn if the withdraw reaches the offeror before or at the same time as the acceptance would have become effective问题与思考:要约的撤回Art17: 要约可以撤回

33、。撤回承诺的通知应在承诺通知到达要约人之前或者与承诺通知同时到达要约人。30规则研究之四：CISG下逾期的承诺CISG Art 21 我合同法A late acceptance is effective if ,without delay , the offeror orally informs the offeree or dispatch the notice 1 一般迟延承诺 Art28受要约人超过承诺期限发出承诺的，为新要约，除非要约人及时通知受要约人该承诺有效。If the transmission had been normal it would have been reached

34、 the offeror in due time ,the acceptance is effective unless 2、意外迟延承诺 Art29受要约人在承诺期限内发出承诺，按照通常情形能够及时到达要约人，但因其他原因承诺到达要约人时超过承诺期限的，该承诺有效，除非要约人及时通知受要约人因承诺超过期限不接受该承诺的以外。31CISG Art 21/我合同法Art28一般迟延承诺 新要约，除非要约人及时认可CISG Art 21/我合同法Art29意外迟延承诺 承诺有效，除非要约人及时反对。实务风险点以及化解之法要约人如何知道逾期的承诺是一般迟延承诺还是意外迟延承诺，以便采取完全不同的处理

35、方法 ？-出险的承诺的表达方式多半是书面方式（即fax、email 、信）中的信件承诺。-如何判断承诺信是否正常还是非正常逾期？Key：可以通过对如下indicators 来判断：邮戳、承诺函中的日期以及信件传递通常所需要的时间。32Discuss: CISG Art 21 v. Art 7发价人依据CISG Art 21对逾期承诺的接受权利和CISGArt7诚信原则的关系On June 1 Seller mailed an offer that stated “your acceptance of this offer must reach me by June 30”.
