This Model Contract contains the substantive rules for an international sales contract, i.e. the main rights and obligations of the Parties, the remedies for breach of contract by the Buyer; the remedies for breach of contract by the Seller; the general rules that apply equally to both parties. It also contains the boilerplate clauses broadly accepted in international commercial contracts.
The Model Contract is greatly influenced by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), widely accepted by lawyers of different traditions and backgrounds. It articulates practical requirements arising from commercial practice with the general rules of the CISG.
