1. A contract shall be governed by the law chosen by the parties. The choice must be expressed or demonstrated with reasonable certainty by the terms of the contract or the circumstances of the case. By their choice the parties can select the law applicable to the whole or a part only of the contract.

The parties may at any time agree to subject the contract to a law other than that which previously governed it, whether as a result of an earlier choice under this Article or of other provisions of this Convention. Any variation by the parties of the law to be applied made after the conclusion of the contract shall not prejudice its formal validity under Article 9 or adversely affect the rights of third parties.

7 / 35

当事人在任何时候都可以约定使其合同适用原先并非适用于它的法律,无论原先适用于该合同的法律是根据本条还是本公约其他条款所选择。但在合同订立后,当事人对适用法律所做的任何变动,都不得有损于本公约第9条规定的合同形式上的效力,亦不得对第三人的权利产生不利影响。

3. The fact that the parties have chosen a foreign law, whether or not acpanied by the choice of a foreign tribunal, shall not, where all the other elements relevant to the situation at the time of the choice are connected with one country only, prejudice the application of rules of the law of that country which cannot be derogated from by contract, hereinafter called \"mandatory rules\".

当事人选择了某一外国法律,不论其是否同时选择了外国法院;如果在选择时,一切与当时情况有关的其他因素都只与一个国家有联系,这个事实不应影响该国法律中不得由合同所减损的那部分法律规则的适用,以下称之为“强制性规则”。

4. The existence and validity of the consent of the parties as to the choice of the applicable law shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of Articles 8, 9 and 11.

Article 4 Applicable law in the absence of choice 第4条 无选择情况下的适用法律

8 / 35

1. To the extent that the law applicable to the contract has not been chosen in accordance with Article 3, the contract shall be governed by the law of the country with which it is most closely connected. Nevertheless, a severable part of the contract which has a closer connection with another country may by way of exception be governed by the law of that other country.

在当事人未根据第三条的规定选择合同的适用法律的情况下,该合同应适用与它有最密切联系的国家的法律。但是,如果合同的可分割部分与另一个国家有更密切的联系,则该部分合同则可作为例外,适用那个国家的法律。

2. Subject to the provisions of paragraph 5 of this Article, it shall be presumed that the contract is most closely connected with the country where the party who is to effect the performance which is characteristic of the contract has, at the time of conclusion of the contract, his habitual residence, or, in the case of a body corporate or unincorporate, its central administration. However, if the contract is entered into in the course of that party's trade or profession, that country shall be the country in which the principal place of business is situated or, where under the terms of the contract the performance is to be effected through a place of business other than the principal place of business, the country in which that other place of business is situated.

除另依本条第5款的规定,合同特定履行的当事人在订立合同时,其惯常居所地的国家,或者当事人是法人组织或非法人组织时,其管理中心所在地的国家,应推定为与该合同有最密切联系的国家。但是,如果合同是在当事人的贸易和职业活动过程中订立的,则

9 / 35

与该合同有最密切联系的国家应是主要营业地所在的国家,或者,如果根据合同规定,合同将在主要营业地以外的另一营业地履行,则与该合同有最密切联系的国家应是另一营业地所在国。

3. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 2 of this Article, to the extent that the subject matter of the contract is a right in immovable property or a right to use immovable property it shall be presumed that the contract is most closely connected with the country where the immovable property is situated.

尽管有本条第2款的规定,但如果合同的标的是不动产产权或不动产使用权,则应推定不动产所在地国家是与合同有最密切联系的国家。

4. A contract for the carriage of goods shall not be subject to the presumption in paragraph 2. In such a contract if the country in which, at the time the contract is concluded, the carrier has his principal place of business is also the country in which the place of loading or the place of discharge or the principal place of business of the consignor is situated, it shall be presumed that the contract is most closely connected with that country. In applying this paragraph single voyage charter-parties and other contracts the main purpose of which is the carriage of goods shall be treated as contracts for the carriage of goods.

第2款的规定不应适用于货物运输合同。如果在订立这种合同时,承运人设有主要营业地的国家同时也是装货地或卸货地或托运人主要营业地所在的国家,则应推定该国是与

10 / 35

合同有密切联系的国家。在适用本款时,单程租船合同和其他以货物运输为主要目的合同均应视为货物运输合同。

5. Paragraph 2 shall not apply if the characteristic performance cannot be determined, and the presumptions in paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 shall be disregarded if it appears from the circumstances as a whole that the contract is more closely connected with another country.

如果合同的特定履行不能确定,则不适用第2款,并且,如果总的情况显示出合同与另一个国家有更密切的联系,则不应适用第2款、第3款和第4款的推定。

Article 5 Certain consumer contracts 第5条 某些消费者合同

1. This Article applies to a contract the object of which is the supply of goods or services to a person (\"the consumer\") for a purpose which can be regarded as being outside his trade or profession, or a contract for the provision of credit for that object.

本条适用于向某人(消费者)提供其行业或职业以外的货物或服务的合同,或者为了该目的提供信贷的合同。

2. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 3, a choice of law made by the parties shall not have the result of depriving the consumer of the protection afforded to him by the mandatory rules of the law of the country in which he has his habitual residence: - if in that country the conclusion of the contract

11 / 35

was preceded by a specific invitation addressed to him or by advertising, and he had taken in that country all the steps necessary on his part for the conclusion of the contract, or

- if the other party or his agent received the consumer's order in that country, or

- if the contract is for the sale of goods and the consumer travelled from that country to another country and there gave his order, provided that the consumer's journey was arranged by the seller for the purpose of inducing the consumer to buy.

尽管有第3条的规定,当事人所做的法律选择不得剥夺消费者惯常居所地国法律的强制性规则对其提供的保护:

如果合同在该国订立,在订立合同前向消费者发出了专门邀请或刊登了广告,而且消费者在该国对订立合同已采取了一切必要的步骤;或者

如果另一方当事人或其代理人在该国收到了消费者的订单;或者

如果合同是为了货物的销售,而消费者是从该国到另一国并在那里递交其订单的,并且消费者此项旅程是卖方为了吸引消费者购买货物而安排的。

3. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 4, a contract to which this Article applies shall, in the absence of choice in accordance with Article 3, be

12 / 35

governed by the law of the country in which the consumer has his habitual residence if it is entered into in the circumstances described in paragraph 2 of this Article.

尽管有第4条的规定,凡适用本条规定的合同,在未根据第三条作出法律选择时,如果该合同是在本条第2款规定的情况下订立的,则应适用消费者惯常居所地国家的法律。

4. This Article shall not apply to: 本条不适用于:

(a) a contract of carriage; 运输合同;

(b) a contract for the supply of services where the services are to be supplied to the consumer exclusively in a country other than that in which he has his habitual residence.

提供服务的合同,此种服务是在消费者惯常居所地国家以外的国家向消费者专门提供的。

5. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 4, this Article shall apply to a contract which, for an inclusive price, provides for a bination of travel and acmodation.

尽管有第4款的规定,本条应适用于以全包价格提供旅行和食宿的合同

Article 6 Individual employment contracts 第6条 雇佣合同

13 / 35

1. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 3, in a contract of employment a choice of law made by the parties shall not have the result of depriving the employee of the protection afforded to him by the mandatory rules of the law which would be applicable under paragraph 2 in the absence of choice.

尽管有第3条的规定,在雇佣合同中,当事人作出的法律选择不得剥夺受雇者在没有作出选择时,依照第2款所要适用的法律的强制性规则对其提供的保护。

2. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 4, a contract of employment shall, in the absence of choice in accordance with Article 3, be governed: (a) by the law of the country in which the employee habitually carries out his work in performance of the contract, even if he is temporarily employed in another country ; or (b) if the employee does not habitually carry out his work in any one country, by the law of the country in which the place of business through which he was engaged is situated; unless it appears from the circumstances as a whole that the contract is more closely connected with another country, in which case the contract shall be governed by the law of that country.

尽管有第4条的规定,在未根据第3条作出任何法律选择时,雇佣合同应当:(a)适用受雇者为履行合同而惯常工作的国家的法律,即使他是在另一国家内临时受雇;或者(b)如果受雇者并不惯常地在任何一国工作,则适用其受雇佣的经营所在地国家的法律。除非从整个情况看,合同与另一国家具有更密切的联系,则在这种情况下,该合同应适用那个国家的法律。

14 / 35

Article 7 Mandatory rules 第7条 强制性规则

1. When applying under this Convention the law of a country, effect may be given to the mandatory rules of the law of another country with which the situation has a close connection, if and in so far as, under the law of the latter country, those rules must be applied whatever the law applicable to the contract. In considering whether to give effect to these mandatory rules, regard shall be had to their nature and purpose and to the consequences of their application or non-application.

在依照本公约适用某国法律时,若情况与另一国家有密切联系,而且如果该国法律规定,无论合同适用什么法律,这些强制性规则都必须予以适用,则可以适用该国法律的强制性规则。在考虑是否适用这些强制性规则时,应注意到其性质和目的,以及适用或不适用这些强制性规则所产生的后果。

2. Nothing in this Convention shall restrict the application of the rules of the law of the forum in a situation where they are mandatory irrespective of the law otherwise applicable to the contract.

本公约任何条款不得限制法院地法强制规则的适用,不论合同适用什么法律。

Article 8 Material validity 第8条 实质上的效力

15 / 35

the contract or term were valid.

合同或合同任何条款的存在及效力,应由在合同或其条款有效的情况下,根据本公约所指定的适用法律来确定。

2. Nevertheless a party may rely upon the law of the country in which he has his habitual residence to establish that he did not consent if it appears from the circumstances that it would not be reasonable to determine the effect of his conduct in accordance with the law specified in the preceding paragraph.

但是,如果情况表明按照前款规定的法律确定当事人行为的效力不合理时,该当事人可以依据其惯常居所地国的法律来确定其不同意适用该法律。
