英文合同定义条款 ? 合同中的重要概念可用定义条款加以定义。这样做的优点是避免合同在用语上的繁琐；避免合同内容在理论上缺少一贯性。在定义条款中被下了定义的词语，在以后的各项条款中出现时必须用大写字母表示。 定义条款的样本如下： 1.Definition In this Agreement the following terms have the following meaning Unless the context clearly requires otherwise: “TERRITORY” means China. 中文释义： 第一条 定义 除了从上下文理解明显带有其他意思之外，在本合同中以下概念的意思如下： “地域对象”指中国 《英语函件写作工具》提供各种合同样本， 《英语书写沟通句库》提供大量商务句型，使用者只需轻松点击鼠标，免去搜寻和录入的麻烦，是商务人士起草合同的高效 英语工具。 A, a company organised and existing under the laws of B (Name of the Country) and having its registered office at C (Address) (hereinafter referred to as the “Contractor”, which term or expression unless excluded by or repugnant to the context or meaning thereof, shall be deemed to include its successors and permitted assigns) OF THE OTHER PART Contract 与 Agreement的有无区别在英语中，合同一般称为Contract，协议一般称为Agreement。 何谓“contract”? 1999年中国《合同法》第二条对contract定义为： A contact in this Law refers to an agreement establishing, modifying and terminating the civil rights and obligations between subjects of equal footing, that is, between natural persons, legal persons or other organizations”。根据这一定义，合同平等主体之间设立的确定民事权利和义务的协议。 ，Steven H. Gifts编著的“Law Dictionary”中将contract 定义为“contract is a promise, or a set of promises, for breach of which the law gives remedy, or the performance of the which the law in some way recognize as a duty.”根据这一定义，合同是一种承诺，违反承诺可以得到法律救助，某种意义上法律将履行该承诺看做是一种补偿。 综合起来，有一个相同点，就是“Contract is an agreement”，即可将合同说成是“An agreement which binds the parties concerned”或者说合同说成是“An agreement which is enforceable by law”， 也可以说：Contracts are promises that the law will enforce。 何谓“Agreement”? L.B “A consensus of mind, or evidence of such consensus, in spoke or written form, relating to anything done or to be done.”根据这一定义，协议是对已经做或准备做的相关事宜，经过谈判、协商后取得一致意见，以口头或书面形式做出的约定。Black Law Dictionary有两个定义。一个是：“A concord of understanding and intention between two or more parties with respect to the effect upon their relative rights and duties, of certain past or future facts or performance”根据这一定义，
