International Trade Terms

International Trade Terms (Intraterms), the first publication of its kind, is a set of standard terms for the sale of goods, accompanied by comments relating them to national laws of the main trading countries and to the Vienna Convention. The accompanying computer disk enables easy incorporation of the terms and main notes into contracts or communications with business partners. Intraterms deal with contracts in general, international sale of goods, transportation of goods sold, abbreviated terms and the resolution of disputes. Drafted in plain language, Intraterms avoid legal jargon and ambiguities, and meet as closely as possible the requirements of the main trading countries. They will help traders and their legal advisers to overcome the uncertainties of the English law and other national laws and to avoid the pitfalls presented by the interaction of national laws and of international conventions. They also provide a rich material for the comparative study of commercial law.
