违约金条款是三地实务差异最明显的地方之一。中国民法典第 585 条允许违约方请求调减过高的违约金,法官有较大裁量;美国惩罚性违约金条款常被认定为无效的罚金条款;欧盟晚付款指令则直接给法定利息。同一份「逾期付款每日 5%」的条款,在中国可能被调减,在美国可能直接被否。
仲裁条款的选择比适用法更值得花时间。美国 FAA 第 2 节对仲裁协议的执行非常强力,欧盟内部仲裁排除在 Brussels I-bis 之外另按纽约公约执行,中国仲裁法下有效仲裁条款排除法院管辖。但「在哪仲裁、用什么规则、能不能临时仲裁」的组合,决定了执行成本。
政府采购与受监管行业的合同要注意法定条款嵌入:美国 FAR Part 52 要求特定条款必须写入政府合同,中国政府采购法对合同变更和程序有法定要求——这类合同的自由约定空间比商事合同小得多,用商事模板套政府合同是常见错误。
格式条款是当事人为了重复使用而预先拟定,并在订立合同时未与对方协商的条款。 采用格式条款订立合同的,提供格式条款的一方应当遵循公平原则确定当事人之间的权利和义务,并采取合理的方式提示对方注意免除或者减轻其责任等与对方有重大利害关系的条款,按照对方的要求,对该条款予以说明。提供格式条款的一方未履行提示或者说明义务,致使对方没有注意或者理解与其有重大利害关系的条款的,对方可以主张该条款不成为合同的内容。
当事人一方不履行合同义务或者履行合同义务不符合约定,造成对方损失的,损失赔偿额应当相当于因违约所造成的损失,包括合同履行后可以获得的利益;但是,不得超过违约一方订立合同时预见到或者应当预见到的因违约可能造成的损失。
