英文合同常见条款表达方式
1.前言Preamble
一份标准英文合同通常可以分为前言（Preamble）、正文（Operative part）、附录（Schedule）及证明部分即结束词（Attestation）四大部分组成。
前言（Preamble）由“Parties”及“Recitals”两部分组成。
“Parties”为必备条款，在很多时候称为“commencement”即合同的开场白，主要介绍合同各方的名称或姓名、注册地及地址、邮编及在合同中的简称。当然，并不是所有的合同都要详细介绍以上诸要素，在许多简单合同中，只是提一下各方的名称。
I. 以下为“Parties”的常用表达方式：
1. This Agreement is entered into by and between ____ and ____.
本协议由以下双方____和___ 签署。
2. This Agreement is entered into by and between ____ (hereinafter referred to as____) and ____ (hereinafter referred to as "_____"), whereby it is agreed as follows:
本协议由以下双方____（以下简称____）和_____（以下简称___）签署，达成如下协议：
注：在很多合同中，这部分加入签约事由，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:
本协议由_____（以下称为甲方）和____（以下称为乙方）为发展业务在平等互利的基础上签订，其条款如下：

III. “Recitals”由数个以"Whereas"字样开头的句子所组合而成（这些句子俗称为“Whereas
Clauses”），表示当事人乃是在基于对这些事实（例如订约的目的、背景来由等）的共同认识，订立此合约。
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

因此，双方当事人达成以下协议：
注：WITNESSED可以用WITHNESSTH、WITHNESSTH THAT等来代替。
IV. 在很多美国常用合同中，在很多情况下直接用RECITALS引导数个陈述语句或“Whereas Clauses”。下面为一个资产购买协议实例：
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").
RECITALS
A. The Boards of Directors of each of Summit, Seller, AAA and Buyer believe it is in the best interests of each company and their respective security holders that Buyer acquire certain listed assets and assume certain listed liabilities of Seller (the "Acquisition").
B. On the date hereof, Buyer has executed a $2,000,000 irrevocable purchase order to purchase 400 time-based licenses for Summit's Visual HDL interfaces for Visual Test bench ("VTB") software on AAA's standard form of purchase order, which is payable within five (5) business days after the date hereof.
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. 定义Definition
在正文（Habendum）部分，通常第一章为定义（Definitions）部分。
定义条款即对合同中涉及的术语及名词作出限定、解释的条款。它可以散见于合同各个部分，但对于一些大型的、重要的合同，通常将其置于第一章。
I. 常见的定义语句常用mean, refer to, be construed as, include等来表达。如：
1. "Territory" means the United States of America.“销售地区”是指美利坚合众国。
2. “Commencement date” shall mean the date of signing this agreement by the last signing party hereto.
“协议生效日”是指本“协议”最后签字的一方签署本“协议”的日期。
3. The “agreement” herein referred to shall mean th is agreement of agency by entrustment.
“协议”在这里是指本委托代理协议。
4. “Code” shall refer to the current and applicable Internal Revenue Code.
“法”是指当前可用的国内税收法。
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.
引用法律规定理解为引用其本身外，还包括其修订、修正或重新实施案。
6. "Expenses" include costs, charges and expenses of every description.
“费用”包括各种形式的金钱支出。
II. 还有一类特殊的定义语句，即对于「单、复数」及「阴、阳性」名词的范围定义。通常都是用include来表达：
1. "Stock Certificate" includes "stock certificate" and "stock certificates".
合同中的“股票”，包括单数与复数。
2. "He" includes "he" and "she".
合同中的“他”，包括“他”与“她”。
3. Words using the singular or plural number also include the plural or singular number.
采用单数或复数的单词也包括复数或单数。
III. 定义语句中，有时需限定范围。而通常用得最多的是：“for the purpose of ”及“in relation to”某概念的定义条款，如果适用范围仅限于合同的“特定部份”，可以用“for the purpose of ”来为定义条款起头。而如果定义条款是针对合同的“特定概念”，就用“in relation to”来界定。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.
本协议所称的“产品”，指制造人所制造如附件A表列之各式机器。
2. "Address" means－
(a) 就自然人而言in relation to an individual, his usual residential or business address; and
(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场所；就公司而言，指位于中华人民共和国之注册所在地或主营业所。
IV. 在定义条款中，在定义语句前有时会加上一些陈述语句来引导，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，下列各用语，分别具有下述意义：
2. In this Agreement, the following words or expressions shall have the meanings given to them respectively below:
本协议内所用词句的意义，明确阐述如下：
3. In this agreement unless the context otherwise requires, the following words and expressions shall have the meanings assigned to them hereunder:
除非本“协议”有明确规定，下列词语应当具有如下规定之意义：
4. The following are the definitions of various terms used in this Agreement:
本“协议”使用之术语定义如下：
3. 有效期Period of validity
有效期(Term)条款通常规定合同的有效期限，何时生效及到何时结束，合同结束后必要时如何延展等等。
I. 以下为“Term”的常用表达方式：
The term of this contract is for a _____ year period.合同的有效期为_____年。
如：The term of this contract is for a one (1) year period.
2. The contract is for a _____ month period, commencing _____.
合同的有效期为_____月，开始于______。（期限）

本协议应自生效日生效并在_____年内有效。此后，除非一方当事人提前_____天书面通知对方当事人终止本协议，本协议有效期自动延长_____年，协议条款不变。
III. Term条款并没有十分固定的表达方式，以下即是一些合同中Term的实例：
1. This Agreement shall be valid and remain in force for a period of three (3) years commencing from the date appearing first above written upon the signing of both Party A and Party B and shall be extended for another period of three (3) years on the same terms and conditions unless either of the parties hereto gives the other party at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the original term.

4. 不可抗力Force Majeure
Force Majeure条款是一种免责条款，即免除由于不可抗力事件而违约的一方的违约责任。一般应规定的内容包括：不可抗力事件的定义（Definition of Force Majeure）以及不可抗力事件的后果（Consequences of Force Majeure）。在Force Majeure条款中，两者属于因果关系，难以截然分开。
I. 对于Force Majeure的定义，《合同法》定义如下：
本法所称不可抗力，是指不能预见、不能避免并不能克服的客观情况。
For purposes of this Law, force majeure means any objective circumstance, which is unforeseeable, unavoidable and insurmountable.
II. 以下是Force Majeure条款的举例：
1. Neither party shall be responsible for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts or facts reasonably beyond the control of that party.
任何一方不应对因其无法控制之行为或事实造成协议延迟履行或不履行承担任何责任。
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.
协议任一方无须对因任何在本协议签订时无法预见或以合理手段也无法避免或克服之原因造成的迟延或不履行本协议之义务所造成的损失承担责任。
注：以上采用的是类似《合同法》概括的定义方法。而合同为不可抗力定义时更多地采用列举的方法。
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.
本合同任何一方当事人对直接或间接地由于其无法控制的原因或情况包括自然灾害、政府命令或限制、战争、战争状态、革命、罢工、工厂被关闭、火灾、水灾等而未能履行或延迟履行合同或合同一部分的行为，不负任何责任。
注: Acts of God通常也译为“不可抗力”，但主要是指自然灾害；而Force Majeure则包括自然及人为两方面。
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.
任何当事人将不会为任何因为不可控制的情况产生的未交付货物、交付错误或延迟交货（除了支付应付款）。不可控制的情况包括战争、国内斗争或暴乱、骚乱、罢工、火灾、洪灾、自然灾害、无力获得材料、承运人的失误、遵守法律、法规或政府令。
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.
由于地震、台风、水灾、火灾、战争以及其它不能预见并且对其发生和后果不能防止或避免的不可抗力事件出现，致使直接影响合同的履行或者不能按约定的条件履行时，遇有上述不可抗力的一方，应立即电报通知对方，并应在十五天内，提供不可抗力详情及合同不能
履行、或者部分不履行、或者需要延期履行的理由的有效证明文件。此项证明文件应由事故发生地有权证明的机构出具。按其对履行合同影响的程度，由双方协商决定是否解除合同，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:
下述事件构成不可抗力：
Where such cases as war, earthquake, serious windstorms, snow, or fire or other events which no party can foresee and prevent from happening occur;
发生战争、地震、严重的风灾、雪灾、火灾或其他各方无法预见、无法抗拒的事故。
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.
自本协议签订之日起与本协议任何一方履行本协议相关的法律、法规发生变更致使本协议非法或转让行为无法完成。
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.
在发生本协议不可抗力事件之后，任何一方（以下简称受影响方）在履行本协议义务时受到拖延或不能履行时，受影响方不承担任何违约责任及赔偿责任。
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.

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.
在不可抗力事件延续_____天后，双方必须磋商本协议的变更，双方未能协商一致的，适用本协议第八章的规定。
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迟履行其义务，则不对另一方负责，也不应视作违反合同。
"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."

b. mutiny, civil commotion assuming the proportions of or amounting to a popular rising, military rising, insurrection, rebellion, revolution, military or usurped power, or any act of any person acting on behalf of or in connection with any organization with activities directed towards the overthrow by force of the Government de jure or de facto, or to the influencing of it by terrorism or violence;

根据本第款第3分条规定，如果任何一方免于履行或推迟履行其义务的时间持续了____个月，那么任何一方都可随时向另一方发出书面通知，终止本合同。
5. 修改Modification
合同修订(Modification)条款为合同常用条款.主要规定了合同修订的方式与途径。例如：书面合同，只能以书面方式进行修订，口头修订内容无效。
I. Modification条款通常较为简单，以下为一些常用比较简约的表达方式：
1. The contract can be amended only after the amendment is agreed upon by both parties.
只有经双方一致同意，合同方可变更。
2. This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument signed by duly authorized representatives of both parties.
本合同只有经双方当事人授权的代表正式签署的书面文件，方可修改。
3. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except by written instrument signed
by each of the Parties hereto.
除非经本协议当事人签署的书面通知，否则本协议书不得作出任何修改和变更。

在协议的有效期内，任何一方都有权提出对协议进行修改，修改后的协议经过双方签署后才能够生效。
II. 在实际运用中，由于内容环境不同，表达可能有所不同，以下为一些实例：
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.
本股权质押项下的贷款合同如有修改、补充而影响本质押合同时，双方应协商修改、补充本质押合同，使其与股权质押项下贷款合同规定相一致。
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.

3. The amendment of the contract or other appendices shall come into force only after the written agreement signed by Party A and Party B and approved by the original examination and approval authority.

6. 补偿Indemnification
损害赔偿（indemnification）条款，是减少合同风险的一个重要条款。该条款主要约定在第三者对合同提出权利主张时，另一缔约方应当对此承担责任。通常情况下，另一缔约方必须支付全部的防御性诉讼费用，以及全部的支付给第三者的和解费用或者第三者胜诉后造成的所有损失。
实际上，本条款是将第三人造成的风险从合同的一方当事人转移给另一方当事人。
其次，本条款也可以约定合同的另一缔约方有其他不当的作为时，应当进行损害赔偿。I．Indemnification 条款常用“indemnify and hold harmless from……”来表达：
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
甲方同意对乙方因_____造成的损失作出赔偿及保证乙方不招致任何第三方索偿或索求，包括合理的律师费用。
应用实例：
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 Party A's use of the Site, the violation of this Agreement by Party A, or the infringement by Party A, or other user of the Site using Party A's login name and password, of any intellectual property or other right of any person or entity.

2. Party A shall indemnify and hold party B and each of party B officers, directors, stockholders, employees and agents harmless against, and in respect of, any damage, loss, liability, cost or
expense, including attorneys, fees, resulting or arising from or incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, except such as may result from willful malfeasance if party B or such officer, director, stockholder, employee of agent, as the case may be.
甲方应当赔偿乙方及其每个职员、董事、股东、雇员及其代理人因此协议引起或与此协议以后的交易相关事项而产生的损害、损失、责任、开支或费用，包括律师费用，但因乙方或其职员、董事、股东、雇员或代理人有意的过失而引起的损失除外。
3. 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.
一方当事人将使另一方当事人免于承担诉讼、索赔、请求、损害赔偿金及费用，包括为以下诉讼辩护而发生的合理的律师费：因另一方当事人未根据本协议履行其义务而导致损害赔偿的诉讼。
不管一方当事人或双方当事人是否知道特殊损害赔偿、附带损害赔偿、间接损害赔偿、后果性损害赔偿、惩罚性损害赔偿发生的可能性，一方当事人均不会为另一方当事人承担上述损害赔偿。
4. Contractor agrees to protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless company, its parent, subsidiaries and affiliated companies, and its and their employees, subcontractors and its and their insurers from and against any claim, demand, cause of action, loss, expense award, obligation to indemnify another, judgment or liability on account of illness, injury or death to the employees of contractor and contractor’s subcontractors and/or damage to or loss or destruction of the property of contractor arising directly or indirectly out of the performance of this contract regardless of omissions or negligence, in whole or in any part, of company.
承包商同意保护、辩护、赔偿和保证公司、其上级公司、下属公司和关联公司、及其雇员、次承包商和其保险公司不承担在履行本合同过程中，不论公司是否存在部分或全部的不作为或疏忽的责任，直接或间接所导致的承包商和次承包商的雇员生病、受伤或死亡以及承包商的财产所遭受的毁损灭失相关的任何诉求、要求、诉因、损失、费用、对他方的赔偿义务、判决或赔偿责任。
II．Indemnification 条款还有多种表达方式，但并不固定。
1. 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.
除上列特别述及的赔偿和责任外，公司或承包商相互间不承担任何间接损失，包括但不限于预计的利润损失、预计的收益损失、预计的生产损失、产品损失、无法使用金钱的损失，由于或认为系因公司或承包商未能正确地履行本合同的义务或由于该违约系由于其次承包商或供应商(买方)或船舶不适航或严格责任和不论是否存在依以前协议履行原因，所导致的部分或全部的不作为或疏忽所造成的损失。
2. All remedies specified herein or otherwise available shall be cumulative and in addition to any and every other remedy provided hereunder or now or hereafter available at law or in equity. 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.
依据法律或衡平法，本“协议”所述的赔偿或其它可得的赔偿应当是累积的，并在本“协议”中规定的赔偿之外，或在现在或此后可得的赔偿之外。无论对方当事人通知与否，任何与违反协议或不履行协议有关的弃权不得视为与任何后来的违反协议或不履行协议有关的弃权，无论是否性质相同或不同。
III．在大型合同中，Indemnification 条款往往非常复杂，以下即为。

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

(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)卖方被及时告知侵权指控的发生，并得到与该侵权指控有关的每一通讯、通知或其他诉讼文书的副本，(2)得到该辩护的独家控制权(包括选择律师的权利)，以及就诉讼或程序进行
妥协或者和解的独家权利；但是，卖方在本合同项下的责任(如果有的话)，应严格地并且仅仅限于卖方因买方销售侵权物品而应从买方获得的特许权使用费收入金额。如果侵权是由卖方交货后有人将物品混合、添加或改造而引起，或者由实施某一方法时使用物品(或其何部分)而引起，则卖方无义务进行辩护，亦无承担费用或损害赔偿的责任。
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).
如果卖方制造并向买方提供的任何物品被判定侵犯有效的_______国专利，且卖方被禁止使用该专利，或者如果卖方相信很可能发生侵权，卖方将尽一切合理的努力，自费从以下措施中作出选择：(1)为买方取得使用该等物品而不产生侵权责任的权利，或(2)以在其他方面实质符合本合同所有规定的非侵权替代品来代替或改造该等物品，或(3)在该等物品被返还后，退还该等物品的购买价以及运费(扣除向买方交货至退还期间使用该等物品并从中获得利益的折扣金额，该折扣金额按从卖方装运之日起_______年直线式折旧来计算)。
If the infringement is alleged prior to completion of delivery of the goods, Seller has the right to decline to make further shipments without being in breach of contract. If Seller has not been enjoined from selling such goods to Buyer, Seller may (at Seller's sole election), at Buyer's request, supply such goods to Buyer, in which event Buyer shall be deemed to extend to Seller the same patent indemnity hereinabove stated. The same patent indemnity shall be deemed to be extended to Seller by buyer if any suit or proceeding is brought against Seller based on a claim that the goods manufactured by Seller in compliance with Buyer's specifications infringe any valid patent. Buyer shall promptly notify Seller of any infringement by a third party of intellectual property rights licensed to Buyer under this contract. In the event that a third party infringes such intellectual property rights, the Parties shall cooperate with one another to take appropriate action to cause such infringement to cease. The foregoing states the sole and exclusive liability of the parties hereto for infringement of patents, copyrights, mask works, trade secrets trademarks, and other proprietary rights, whether direct or contributory, and is in lieu of all warranties, express, implied or statutory, in regard hereto, including, without limitation, the warranty against infringement specified in the uniform commercial code.
如果交货完成前发生权指控，卖方有权拒绝进一步装运，而不构成违约。如果卖方还没有被禁止向买方销售该等物品，应买方请求，卖方可以(仅由卖方酌定)向买方供应该等物品，在此情况下，买方应被视为向卖方做出与本合同上文所述相同的专利补偿保证。如果有人指称卖方按照买方规格制造的物品侵犯了有效的_______国专利，并以此为根据向卖方提起诉讼或程序，则买方应被视为已向卖方做出同样的专利补偿保证。
买方应将第三方侵犯本合同项下许可给买方的知识产权及时通知卖方。如果第三方侵犯该等知识产权，双方应互相合作，采取适当的行动制止该侵权行为。
上文规定了本合同双方就专利、版权、掩模、商业秘密、商标以及其他专有权利的侵权(无
论是直接的还是协从的)所承担的唯一责任，并且取代就其所做出的所有保证(明示的、暗示的或法定的)，包括(但不限于)＿＿＿＿＿中规定的不侵权保证。

"非常"的26种英文表达法 "非常, 很, 极其"的26种英文表达法 相信大家都会有这样的经历: 每每用英语表达一些很一般的概念时, 我们总会立刻想起某个表达法. 例如: 想说"很"时,立刻想到了very或very much; 想说"大"时, 则用big或large.这样的一一对应, 大大减弱了英语写作的丰富性和生动性. 于是这些最先为我们想到的表达法, 便成了我们提高英语水平的羁绊. 如果我们能把这些最常用概念的英语表达归类, 总结, 贫乏的英语表达便会涣然一新. 以下是我在英语学习过程中的一篇笔记, 愿与各位分享. 如有遗漏或错误, 敬请指正. (所有的词语释义和部分例句来自Longman英汉词典) 在英语中用来表达"极其, 非常, 很"的方式有26种: 1) most (used for giving force) a. (to an adjective) very It really is most annoying. b.(to an adverb) quite; very Whatever happens, I shall most certainly attend the meeting. 注意: most只能修饰具有主观意见或感情色彩的形容词和副词, 表示"非常, 很"的概念.我们可以说most certainly, 但不能说most tall 或most quick 2) awfully adv. infml (used to give more force to an expression) very awfully cold, awfully nice I am awfully sorry for it. 3) badly adv. (与"want", "need"连用) a great deal; very much They want help badly. He is badly in need of a haircut. 4) more than ... fml, to a degree at which "..." is no longer a strong enough or suitable word. 与中文的"无以名状"差不多

英文合同的要点 英文合同的要点 一份完整的英文合约通常可以分为标题、序文、主文条款及结尾辞四大部份。「标题」在开宗明义地显示合约的性质；「序文」是用最简单的说明，大略介绍合约订立的背景；「主文条款」里包括依各种合约性质的不同而约定的特殊条款，以及不论何种类型合约都会出现的一般条款；最后「结尾辞」则是当事人签名前的一段文字，为整份合约画下句点。以下分别就此四部份为说明。 一、合约的标题 英文合约和中文合约都一样，标题并不是一定要有的，因为当事人间的法律关系是用合约内容的各个条款来判断，标题基本上不会产生任何影响。但为方便辨识的考量，合约撰写人通常都会依照合约性质，在合约首页的最上方给予一个适当的标题，例如"Share Purchase Agreement"（股份收购合约）、"Joint Venture Agreement"（合资合约）、"Loan Agreement"（贷款合约）、"Distribution Agreement"（经销合约）、"License Agreement"（授权合约）等等。 至于标题中可能使用的"agreement" 、"contract" 、"letter" 、"memorandum" 、"understanding" 等各式各样的名称，有哪些意义相同，哪些在法律上可能有不同的拘束力，则请参阅第壹编之壹「英文合约的名称」一节，不再赘述。 二、合约的序文 英文合约在标题之后，各式各样的条款出现之前，通常会先有一段「序文」，一般而言不会占去太多的篇幅，目的在很简略地介绍合约规范内容之人、事、时、地、物等背景，让阅读合约的人在接触冗长复杂的主文前，先有一个基础的认识与心理准备。 详细来说，序文通常又分作以下两个段落：第一部份文字叫做"commencement" ，也就是合约的「开场白」，内容在说明合约当事人姓名或名称、当事人的国籍与住所或主营业所、订约日期等等。 This Share Purchase Agreement is made on the 3rd day of May, 1991 by and between&: (1) ENTERPRISES HOJAEC SA, a company organized and existing& under the laws of France and having its registered office& at 89 rue Albert Thomas, 75010 Paris and (2) Mark Gilbert Handerson, an individual with nationality of the United States of America (Passport No.12345678), residing at 2199 Palm Street, Pleasant Hill, California 94509, USA. 本股份收购契约订立于公元一九九一年五月三日，双方当事人为： (1) 依法国法律组织设立的ENTERPRISES HOJAEC SA公司，注册所在地为48 rue Albert Thomas, 75010 Paris，与 (2) 美国籍的Mark Gilbert Handerson (护照号码12345678 )，居住于2199 Palm Street, Pleasant Hill, California 94509, USA。 & by and between 要表示合约是由哪些当事人所订定，英文中通常会说"This Agreement is made by and

英文中“很多”的表达方法 英文中其实有很多很多表示“很多”的说法（咦，这句话好像蛮绕口的）。但是貌似在同学们头脑里只有一种而且是一种被用滥了还不得不用的表达：a lot of，你不觉得腻么，嘿嘿。 今天教给大家一系列常用好用的表示“很多”的语块，希望大家能真正在自己的英语写作里面用起来。不是说a lot of不好，而是别每次提到“多”，都用它，咱们的表达得丰富多元化一些，不是么？ *表达“多”的词组类： 1）a lot of：这个最著名的表达我就不多说了。 2）lots of：跟上述的词组差不多著名，只不过区别在于，这个只修饰可数名词。a lot of都可以修饰。 3）plenty of：丰富的，大量的，丰沛的。一般修饰一些正向的事物。比如This area has plenty of rainfall.（这个区域有丰沛的降水量） 4）a (large) number of：大量的。这是一个中规中矩的修饰可数名词的词组。 5）an (large) amount of：这个语块跟上述语块相比的区别在于，它只修饰不可数。比如After the rain, there is a large amount of flood in the city.（雨后，城市内涝）6）a great deal of：这个语块可以替换上述语块，修饰不可数名词。表大量。 7）be teeming with：这个语块很有意思，表示“...充满了...”。例：Zhongguancun in Beijing is teeming with IT start-ups. （中关村充满了IT类的创业公司。） 8）quite a few：不少。表示数量还没有特别多，但已经出现了一个“即将变多”的趋势。例：Quite a few rich people in China consider immigration to the US. （不
