1 The ICC Model Contracts What makes them stand out? 1
2 Customs Logistics Sale Technical requirements 2
3 3
4 How do I secure payment? Documents Logistics Payment Examination How do I secure arrival in time, in conformity? But nevertheless, for international trade to be sustainable, it must be balanced 4
5 Risk in international trade Risk of misunderstanding Risk of non-performance Risk of inadequate quality Risk of non-payment Risk of dissolution Risk of damage or loss during transportation Confidentiality risk Financial risk Exchange, investment Legal risk Administrative risk Contract terms and conditions Political and commercial Financial and economic Technical requirements Cultural / language / behavioral differences 5
6 Risk management in international trade order (confirmation) Contract framework contract general conditions parties port, trade, Customs Lex Mercatoria International law National law 6
7 Why businessmen often work without a contract «It is too expensive for small deals» «If we put the deal on paper there no longer is a deal» «Legal does not understand what business is about» «We never go to court» «We don t even understand our own general conditions» «We solve things commercially»
8 but sometimes they are willing to compromise «for in case we have to go to court» credit tax accounting customs advance payment payment transfer «to deepen the relationship with the counterpart» «to instruct colleagues»

13 The buyer doesn t care about the price all he cares about is the landed cost of purchase Regardless of the contractual choices regarding transfer of costs, risks, obligations etc. the buyer ALWAYS pays; a seller assuming costs, liabilities or obligations will include this in his selling price together with a premium for risk and administration; if the seller does not assume given costs, risks or obligations, someone else will have to assume them and will charge the cost to the buyer; they will remain to be a cost factor for the buyer. The challenge is thus not to avoid costs, risks or obligations at all cost, but to allocate these factors of the total cost of purchase at the place where they can be managed at the lowest premium. 13
14 Transport Customs export - import Insurance Certification, labelling, Quality Inspection Financing Distribution 14
15 THE CONTRACT: HOW? 15
16 How to draft a contract? Contract = manual Define your objectives Make a checklist (of what always goes wrong) Logical order - coherence Writing Verification (lawyer) Language?
17 What about model contracts? Contract = manual = specific for every undertaking but nevertheless, draft your own model contract Negotiating power Advantages of scale Competition within the company network Uniformity Choice of law Dispute settlement.. LAW. COURTS

21 Purpose of (good) Model Contracts: 1. harmonization of industry/sector standards contribution to lex mercatoria ; 2. weaker contracting parties looking for a model of reference to counter contractual obligations presented by the stronger partner; 3. SME occasionally engaging in international operations and/or changing foreign partners; 4. contracting parties looking for a neutral/standard/compromise position to overcome different positions while negotiating; 21
22 Different types of model structures 1. Single models full text with fill in clauses 2. Dual models Short part specific clauses (fill in boxes) Lengthy part general clauses 22

31 invoice + packing list EXW transport document Buyer = shipper - certificate of origin insurance certificate + open account advance payment with back up guarantee, stand by L/C or credit insurance EXW - documentary collection letter of credit delivery when 'ready for collection' is incompatible with payment upon collection of documents at destination as no shipping documents are to be presented, it is difficult to organize payment upon presentation of a 'delivery document' 31
