英文合同結(jié)構(gòu)與主要條款
標(biāo)準(zhǔn)英文合同通常可以分為前言（Preamble）、正文（Habendum）、證明部分（Attestation）、附錄（Schedule）四大部分組成
1. 前言（Preamble）部分
前言一般包含三部分：開場(chǎng)白（premises），鑒于條款（whereas clause）及過渡條款（transitional clause）

a.開場(chǎng)白的結(jié)構(gòu)：
This contact /agreement is made as of ＿＿ in the place of＿＿ by and between ＿＿＿a corporation duly organized and existing under the law of ＿＿with its address at ＿＿(hereinafter referred to party A) and ＿＿a corporation duly organized and existing under the law of ＿＿with its address at ＿＿(hereinafter referred to party B)
b. “鑒于（Whereas）”條款又稱“敘述（Recital）條款”或“訂約背景（Background）”
whereas ＿＿
c.過渡條款在鑒于條款之后，另起一行，以”now therefore , the parties hereto agree as follow:”銜接

正文”部分主要包含以下條款

(1) “定義及解釋（Definition and interpretation）”條款
(2) “陳述與保證（Representations and Warranties）”條款
(2) “先決條件（Conditions precedent）”條款
(4) 轉(zhuǎn)讓條款（assignment）
(5)合同義務(wù)（Contracts and Obligations）
(6)期限及終止條款（term and termination）
(7)違約條款（default）
(8) “不可抗力（Force Majeure）”條款
(9)）訴訟與仲裁（Litigation and Arbitration）
(10)保密（Non-disclosure or No Publicity）”條款
(11) “爭(zhēng)議解決（Dispute Resolution）”條款
(12)賠償條款（indemnification）
(13)通知條款（notice）

五、證明部分（Attestation）
英文合同結(jié)構(gòu)中的最后一個(gè)部份就是結(jié)尾辭即證明部分與當(dāng)事人的簽名。所謂「結(jié)尾辭」指的是在當(dāng)事人簽名之前經(jīng)常會(huì)出現(xiàn)一段文字，相當(dāng)于中文合同中“雙方簽字蓋章，特此為證”。除了表明簽名人確實(shí)為正當(dāng)授權(quán)的代表外，還會(huì)具明簽名的日期。至于簽名檔的部份，如果當(dāng)事人是公司的話，除了代表人的簽名以外，還要加蓋公司印鑒，并且通常會(huì)注明代表人的職務(wù)(title)。
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by duly authorized representatives of both parties on the date and year first written above.
By: By:
Title: Title:
本協(xié)議由被授權(quán)之人，于本協(xié)議上述所記載日期，代表雙方當(dāng)事人締結(jié)生效之，特此為證。
_________________ __________________
代表人：代表人：
職務(wù)：職務(wù)：
& IN WITNESS WHEREOF
這三個(gè)詞是英文合同結(jié)尾辭的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)模式，實(shí)體上講并沒有什幺特別的功能或意義，與中文合同里最后通常會(huì)記載的

附錄（Schedule）部分
