1.前言 Preamble
一份標準英文合同通常可以分為前言（Preamble）、正文（Operative part）、附錄（Schedule）及證明部分即結束詞（Attestation）四大部分組成。
前言（Preamble）由“Parties”及“Recitals”兩部分組成。
“Parties”為必備條款，在很多時候稱為“commencement”即合同的開場白，主要介紹合同各方的名稱或姓名、註冊地及地址、郵編及在合同中的簡稱。當然，並不是所有的合同都要詳細介紹以上諸要素，在許多簡單合同中，只是提一下各方的名稱。
I. 以下為“Parties”的常用表達方式：
1. This Agreement is entered into by and between ____ and ____.
本協議由以下雙方____和___ 簽署。
2. This Agreement is entered into by and between ____ (hereinafter referred to as____) and ____ (hereinafter referred to as "_____"), whereby it is agreed as follows:
本協議由以下雙方____（以下簡稱____）和_____（以下簡稱___）簽署，達成如下協議：
注：在很多合同中，這部分加入簽約事由，如：
This Agreement is entered into through friendly negotiations between _____ Co.
(hereinafter referred to as the “Party A”) and _____ Co. (hereinafter referred to as the “Party B”) based on equality and mutual benefit to develop business on the terms and conditions set forth below:
本協議由_____（以下稱為甲方）和____（以下稱為乙方）為發展業務在平等互利的基礎上籤訂，其條款如下：
This Agreement is entered into between _____ (hereinafter referred to as "Company"), and ______, (hereinafter referred to as "Employee") pursuant to paragraph VIII(2) of the Employee Handbook, whereby it is agreed as follows:
本“協議”由_____（以下簡稱“公司”）與_____（以下簡稱“僱員”）根據“僱員手冊”第VIII(2)款簽署，“協議”內容如下：
II. 以下為標準的“Parties”條款：
3.

III. “Recitals” 由數個以"Whereas"字樣開頭的句子所組合而成（這些句子俗稱為“Whereas Clauses”），表示當事人乃是在基於對這些事實（例如訂約的目的、背景來由等）的共同認識，訂立此合約。
4. This Agreement is made and entered into this _____ day of _____ in the year of ____ by and between _______, a company duly organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of ______, with its principal place of business at ______ (hereinafter referred to as “_____”), and ______, a company duly organized and existing under and by virtue of the laws of ______, with its principal place of business at ______ (hereinafter referred

鑑於
因此，雙方當事人達成以下協議：
注：WITNESSED可以用WITHNESSTH、WITHNESSTH THAT等來代替。
IV. 在很多美國常用合同中，在很多情況下直接用RECITALS引導數個陳述語句或“Whereas Clauses”。下面為一個資產購買協議實例：
This ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and entered into as of May 19, 1997 by and among AAA, a Delaware corporation ("AAA"), BBB, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of AAA ("Buyer"), CCC ("Summit"), and DDD, an Oregon corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Summit ("Seller").

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, promises and representations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:
2. 定義 Definition
在正文（Habendum）部分，通常第一章為定義（Definitions）部分。
定義條款即對合同中涉及的術語及名詞作出限定、解釋的條款。它可以散見於合同各個部分，但對於一些大型的、重要的合同，通常將其置於第一章。
I. 常見的定義語句常用mean, refer to, be construed as, include等來表達。如：
1. "Territory" means the United States of America.“銷售地區”是指美利堅合眾國。
2. “Commencement date” shall mean the date of signing this agreement by the last signing party hereto.
“協議生效日”是指本“協議”最後簽字的一方簽署本“協議”的日期。
3. The “agreement” herein referred to shall mean this agreement of agency by entrustment.
“協議”在這裏是指本委託代理協議。
4. “Code” shall refer to the current and applicable Internal Revenue Code.
“法”是指當前可用的國內税收法。
5. Reference to any statutory provision shall be construed as a reference to the same as it may have been, or may from time be, amended, modified or re-enacted.
引用法律規定理解為引用其本身外，還包括其修訂、修正或重新實施案。
6. "Expenses" include costs, charges and expenses of every description.
“費用”包括各種形式的金錢支出。
II. 還有一類特殊的定義語句，即對於「單、複數」及「陰、陽性」名詞的範圍定義。通常都是用include來表達：
1. "Stock Certificate" includes "stock certificate" and "stock certificates".
合同中的“股票”，包括單數與複數。
2. "He" includes "he" and "she".
合同中的“他”，包括“他”與“她”。
3. Words using the singular or plural number also include the plural or singular number.
採用單數或複數的單詞也包括複數或單數。
III. 定義語句中，有時需限定範圍。而通常用得最多的是：“for the purpose of ”及“in relation to” 某概念的定義條款，如果適用範圍僅限於合同的“特定部份”，可以用“for the purpose of ”來為定義條款起頭。而如果定義條款是針對合同的“特定概念”，就用“in relation to”來界定。如下例：
1. For the purpose of this Agreement, "Products" means all types of the machineries manufactured by Manufacturer as are specified in Attachment A hereto.
本協議所稱的“產品”，指製造人所製造如附件A表列之各式機器。
2. "Address" means－

(b) in relation to a corporation, its registered or principal office in the Republic of China.
“地址”就自然人而言，指通常之居所或工作場所；就公司而言，指位於中華人民共和國之註冊所在地或主營業所。
IV. 在定義條款中，在定義語句前有時會加上一些陳述語句來引導，如：
1. For the purpose of this Agreement, each of the following terms shall have the following meaning respectively:
就本合同的目的而言，下列各用語，分別具有下述意義：
2. In this Agreement, the following words or expressions shall have the meanings given to them respectively below:

4. 不可抗力 Force Majeure
Force Majeure條款是一種免責條款，即免除由於不可抗力事件而違約的一方的違約責任。一般應規定的內容包括：不可抗力事件的定義（Definition of Force Majeure）以及不可抗力事件的後果（Consequences of Force Majeure） 。在Force Majeure條款中，兩者屬於因果關係，難以截然分開。
I. 對於Force Majeure的定義，《合同法》定義如下：
本法所稱不可抗力，是指不能預見、不能避免並不能克服的客觀情況。
For purposes of this Law, force majeure means any objective circumstance, which is unforeseeable, unavoidable and insurmountable.
II. 以下是Force Majeure條款的舉例：
1. Neither party shall be responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts or facts reasonably beyond the control of that party.
任何一方不應對因其無法控制之行為或事實造成協議延遲履行或不履行承擔任何責任。
2. Either Party shall not be liable for any delay caused by any unpredictable factor or any factor which is unavoidable or insurmountable by reasonable means at the time of conclusion of this Agreement, or any loss caused by failure in fulfillment of obligations as stipulated herein.
協議任一方無須對因任何在本協議簽訂時無法預見或以合理手段也無法避免或克服之原因造成的遲延或不履行本協議之義務所造成的損失承擔責任。
注：以上採用的是類似《合同法》概括的'定義方法。而合同為不可抗力定義時更多地採用列舉的方法。
3. Neither party of this Agreement, directly or indirectly owing to any causes or circumstances beyond its control, including Acts of God, Governmental orders or restriction, war, warlike conditions, revolutions, strike, lockout, fire and flood.
本合同任何一方當事人對直接或間接地由於其無法控制的原因或情況包括自然災害、政府命令或限制、戰爭、戰爭狀態、革命、罷工、工廠被關閉、火災、水災等而未能履行或延遲履行合同或合同一部分的行為，不負任何責任。
注: Acts of God通常也譯為“不可抗力”，但主要是指自然災害；而Force Majeure則包括自然及人為兩方面。
4. Neither party will be liable for nondelivery, misdelivery or late delivery (other than the payment of money due hereunder) caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, among others, war, civil strife or commotion, riots, strikes, fires, floods, acts of God, inability to obtain materials, failure of carriers or compliance with any law, regulation or governmental order.
任何當事人將不會為任何因為不可控制的情況產生的未交付貨物、交付錯誤或延遲交貨（除了支付應付款）。不可控制的情況包括戰爭、國內鬥爭或*亂、騷亂、罷工、火災、洪災、自然災害、無力獲得材料、承運人的失誤、遵守法律、法規或政府令。
5. Should either of the parties to the contract by prevented from executing the contract by force majeure, such as earthquake, typhoon, flood, fire and war and other unforeseen events, and their happening and consequences are unpreventable and unavoidable, the prevented party shall notify the other party by cable without any delay, and within 15 days thereafter provide the detailed information of the events and a valid document for evidence issued by the relevant public notary organization
for explaining the reason of its inability to execute or delay the execution of all or part of the contract. Both parties shall, through consolations, decide whether to terminate the contract or to exempt the part of obligations for implementation of the contract or whether to delay the execution of the contract according to the effects of the events on the performance of the contract.
由 於地震、颱風、水災、火災、戰爭以及其它不能預見並且對其發生和後果不能防止或避免的不可抗力事件出現，致使直接影響合同的履行或者不能按約定的條件履行 時，遇有上述不可抗力的一方，應立即電報通知對方，並應在十五天內，提供不可抗力詳情及合同不能履行、或者部分不履行、或者需要延期履行的理由的有效證明 文件。此項證明文件應由事故發生地有權證明的機構出具。按其對履行合同影響的程度，由雙方協商決定是否解除合同，或者部分履行合同，或者延期履行合同。
6. Force majeure shall hereof consist of the following events:
下述事件構成不可抗力：
Where such cases as war, earthquake, serious windstorms, snow, or fire or other events which no party can foresee and prevent from happening occur;
發生戰爭、地震、嚴重的風災、雪災、火災或其他各方無法預見、無法抗拒的事故。
The related laws and regulations in collection with the execution of duties by any party to this Agreement undergo changes, under which this Agreement will be illegal or the transfer cannot be fulfilled.
自本協議簽訂之日起與本協議任何一方履行本協議相關的法律、法規發生變更致使本協議非法或轉讓行為無法完成。
In event of the occurrence of the above-mentioned events, if any party (hereinafter referred to as the “Effected Party ”) has been delayed or deterred from performing the duties of this Agreement in the course of its execution, the Affected Party shall be free from any liabilities for breach of the agreement and for compensation.
在發生本協議不可抗力事件之後，任何一方（以下簡稱受影響方）在履行本協議義務時受到拖延或不能履行時，受影響方不承擔任何違約責任及賠償責任。
In event of the force majeure, the affected party shall, within _____days from the date of the occurrence, notify the other party of the impact of such events on the execution of the duties in this Agreement, by telex, telegraph or in any other lawful written form, and simultaneously submit the relevant official credentials concerning the force majeure herein.
在發生不可抗力事件時，受影響方應自不可抗力事件發生之日起_____天內以電傳或電報或其他任何合理書面方式，通知另一方有關不可抗力的發生和不可抗力對其履行本協議的義務的影響，同時應呈交不可抗力的有關官方證明。
Should the effect of the force majeure cases last more than _____ days, both parties shall consult each other about the alterations of this Agreement; in case they fail to reach an agreement, Chapter 8 shall thereupon apply.
在不可抗力事件延續_____天后，雙方必須磋商本協議的變更，雙方未能協商一致的，適用本協議第八章的規定。
7. Force Majeure不可抗力
(1) No party to this Contract shall be liable to the other party for any failure of or delay in performance of its obligations hereof nor be deemed to be in breach of this Contract, if such failure or delay has arisen from "force majeure."
如果任何一方因不可抗力而款能履行或推遲履行其義務，則不對另一方負責，也不應視作違反合同。
"Force Majeure" means circumstances and conditions beyond the control of either parties, that would render it impossible for either the Owner or the Contractor to fulfill their obligations under this Contract, or delay such fulfillment. Any of the following matters are considered "force majeure."
“不可抗力”指業主或承包商無法控制的情況，使當事人未能按本合同履行其義務，或者不得不延遲履行其義務。下列情況均被視作“不可抗力”：

如果本合同任何一方因不可抗力不能或延遲履行本合同規定的任何義務，他可將不可抗力和由此造成的延遲或妨礙情況通知另一方。發出通知的一方允許根據具體情況及妨礙或延遲持續的時間免於履行或推遲履行合同。

根據本第款第3分條規定，如果任何一方免於履行或推遲履行其義務的時間持續了____個月，那麼任何一方都可隨時向另一方發出書面通知，終止本合同。
5. 修改 Modification
合同修訂 (Modification)條款為合同常用條款.主要規定了合同修訂的方式與途徑。例如：書面合同，只能以書面方式進行修訂，口頭修訂內容無效。
I. Modification條款通常較為簡單，以下為一些常用比較簡約的表達方式：
1. The contract can be amended only after the amendment is agreed upon by both parties.
只有經雙方一致同意，合同方可變更。
2. This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument signed by duly authorized representatives of both parties.
本合同只有經雙方當事人授權的代表正式簽署的書面文件，方可修改。

在協議的有效期內，任何一方都有權提出對協議進行修改，修改後的協議經過雙方簽署後才能夠生效。
II. 在實際運用中，由於內容環境不同，表達可能有所不同，以下為一些實例：
1. If the loan contract affiliated to this Contract has to be abridged, amended, or revised, both parties shall negotiate to amend and revise this Contract in line with the provisions of the loan contract.
本股權質押項下的貸款合同如有修改、補充而影響本質押合同時，雙方應協商修改、補充本質押合同，使其與股權質押項下貸款合同規定相一致。
2. If this Contract shall be abridged, revised, or amended on account of force majeure, the responsibilities assumed by the Party A under this Contract shall not be exempted or reduced, and the rights and interests of the Party B under this Contract shall not been affected or infringed.

6. 補償 Indemnification
損害賠償（indemnification）條款，是減少合同風險的一個重要條款。該條款主要約定在第三者對合同提出權利主張時，另一締約方應當對此承擔責任。通常情況下，另一締約方必須支付全部的防禦性訴訟費用，以及全部的支付給第三者的和解費用或者第三者勝訴後造成的所有損失。
實際上，本條款是將第三人造成的風險從合同的一方當事人轉移給另一方當事人。
其次，本條款也可以約定合同的另一締約方有其他不當的作為時，應當進行損害賠償。
I． Indemnification 條款常用“indemnify and hold harmless from……”來表達：
1. Party A agrees to indemnify and hold Party B harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of
甲方同意對乙方因_____造成的損失作出賠償及保證乙方不招致任何第三方索償或索求，包括合理的律師費用。

Each party will defend, indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against all actions, proceedings, claims, demands, suits, losses, damages and expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees and costs reasonably incurred in defending any proceedings in which the damages sustained arose from a failure of the other party to meet its obligations under this agreement. In no event will either party be liable to the other in connection with this agreement for special, incidental, indirect or consequential or punitive damages regardless of whether either or both parties knew of the possibility of such damages.

II． Indemnification 條款還有多種表達方式，但並不固定。

Notwithstanding any of indemnities and liabilities specifically referred to above, neither company or contractor shall be liable to the other with respect to any consequential loss including, but not limited to, loss of anticipated profit, loss of anticipated revenue, loss of anticipated production, loss of product, or loss of use of money, arising or alleged to arise out of either company’s or contractor’s failure to property carry out its obligations hereunder or due to omissions or negligence, in whole or any part, of the part at fault, its subcontractors or vendors or the un-seaworthiness of vessel, or strict liability, and regardless of whether pre-existing the execution of the agreement.

No waiver or failure to act with respect to any breach or default hereunder, whether or not the other party has notice thereof, shall be deemed to be a waiver with respect to any subsequent breach or default, whether of similar or different nature.
依據法律或衡平法，本“協議”所述的賠償或其它可得的賠償應當是累積的，並在本“協議”中規定的賠償之外，或在現在或此後可得的賠償之外。無論對方當事人通知與否，任何與違反協議或不履行協議有關的棄權不得視為與任何後來的違反協議或不履行協議有關的棄權，無論是否性質相同或不同。
III．在大型合同中，Indemnification 條款往往非常複雜，以下即為。
Indemnification 補償
(a) Each party shall indemnify and hold harmless the other party, its shareholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, designees and assignees, or any of them, from and against all losses, damages, liabilities, expenses, costs, claims, suits, demands, actions, causes of actions, proceedings, judgments, assessments, deficiencies and charges (collectively, "Damages") caused by, relating to or arising from the performance by such party in accordance with this Contract of its obligations hereunder, and Buyer shall also indemnify Seller, without limiting the foregoing, for any such item caused by, relating to or arising from (a) the programming services which are authorized for viewing sing the System, including any assertion that any such programming service involves copyright infringement, (b) any disputes between Buyer and any of its program distributors or other distributors or affiliates, (c) any disputes or claims involving the subscribers for Buyer's programming services, or (d) any assertion that Buyer has been involved in, that Buyer's conduct of subscription involves, or that Buyer's use of the System involves, any unfair competition or violations of laws, rules or regulations.

The Indemnified Party's failure to provide such noticed shall not preclude it from seeking indemnification hereunder unless such failure has materially prejudiced the Indemnifying Party's ability to defend such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall promptly defend such claim with counsel of its own choosing) and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the defense of such claim, including the settlement of the matter on the basis stipulated by the indemnifying Party (with the Indemnifying Party being responsible for all costs and expenses of such settlement).
(ｂ)如果第三方提出一方按本合同規定有權獲得補償的索賠請求，一方(“受補償方”)應在實際可能的情況下儘早通知另一方(“補償方”)，但無論如何不得遲於在收到該等請求後的第_______日。受補償方未給予該通知並不排除其按本合同規定尋求補償，除非未給予該通知補償方抗辯該索賠請求的能力受到實質影響。補償方(與其自行選擇的律師一起)應及時對該索賠請求進行抗辯，而受補償方應在對該索賠請求進行抗辯時與補償方合作，包括按照補償方規定的原則就該事項達成和解(補償方承擔該和解的一切費用與支出)。
If the Indemnifying Party within a reasonable time after notice of a claim fails to defend the Indemnified party, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim at the expense of the Indemnifying arty. Upon the assumption of the defense of such claim, the Indemnifying arty may settle, compromise or defend as it sees fit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section, seller will defend any suit, claim, action or proceeding brought against buyers to the extent that such suit, claim, action or proceeding is based on a claim that goods manufactured and sold by Seller to Buyer infringe patent, copyright, mask work, trademark, trade secret or any other intellectual property rights of any third party and Seller shall pay all damages and costs awarded by final judgment (from which no appeal may be taken) against Buyer, as well as its actual expenses and costs, on condition that Seller
如果補償方收到索賠通知後為受補償方辯護，則受補償方應有權對該索賠進行抗辯、妥協或和解，費用由補償方承擔。在承擔對該等索賠請求的辯護後，補償方可進行和解、妥協或抗辯，由其酌處。無論本條有何相反的規定，如果發生對買方的訴訟、索賠、訴訟行為或程序是基於以下主張，即賣方製造並銷售給買方的物品侵犯了任何第三方的_______國專利、版權、掩模、商標、商業祕密或其他任何知識產權，則賣方將就該訴訟、索賠、訴訟行為或程序為買方辯護，並將支付局判決(不能再上訴的)判定由買方承擔的損害賠償與費用，以及買方實際的支出與費用，上述規定的條件是：
(i) is promptly informed and furnished a copy of ach communication, notice or other action relating to the alleged infringement, (ii) is given sole control of the defense (including the right to select counsel), and the sole right to compromise and settle such suit or proceeding; provided however, that Seller's liability hereunder, if any, shall be strictly and solely limited to the amount of royalties which would be payable in respect of revenues derived by Seller from Buyer from sales of the infringing goods. Seller shall not be obligated to defend or be liable for costs and damages if the infringement arises out if a combination with, an addition to, or modification of the goods after delivery by Seller, or from use of the goods, or any part thereof, in the practice of a process.
(1)賣方被及時告知侵權指控的發生，並得到與該侵權指控有關的每一通訊、通知或其他訴訟文書的副本，(2)得到該辯護的獨家控制權(包括選擇律師的權利)，以及就訴訟或程序進行妥協或者和解的獨家權利；但是，賣方在本合同項下的責任(如果有的話)，應嚴格地並且僅僅限於賣方因買方銷售侵權物品而應從買方獲得的特許權使用費收入金額。如果侵權是由賣方交貨後有人將物品混合、添加或改造而引起，或者由實施某一方法時使用物品(或其何部分)而引起，則賣方無義務進行辯護，亦無承擔費用或損害賠償的責任。
If any goods manufactured and supplied by Seller to Buyer are held to infringe any valid patent and Buyer is enjoined from using the same, or if seller believes such infringement is likely, Seller will exert all reasonable efforts at its option and expense (i) to procure for Buyer the right to use such goods free of any liability for such infringement, or (ii) replace or modify such goods with a noninfringing substitute otherwise complying substantially with all the requirements of this contract, or (iii) upon return of the goods, refund the purchase price and the transportation costs of such goods (less reasonable allowance for their use and benefit derived therefrom for the period of time from delivery to Buyer, such allowance being based on a straight-line depreciation period of _______ years from the date of shipment by Seller).
如果賣方製造並向買方提供的任何物品被判定侵犯有效的_______國專利，且賣方被禁止使用該專利，或者如果賣方相信很可能發生侵權，賣方將盡一切合理的努力，自費從以下措施中作出選擇：(1)為買方取得使用該等物品而不產生侵權責任的權利，或(2)以在其他方面實質符合本合同所有規定的非侵權替代品來代替或改造該等物品，或(3)在該等物品被返還後，退還該等物品的購買價以及運費(扣除向買方交貨至退還期間使用該等物品並從中獲得利益的折扣金額，該折扣金額按從賣方裝運之日起_______年直線式折舊來計算)。
