英文合同-前言的導入部分的構(gòu)成

參照前面提供的“英文合同書文本示例”，英文合同前言的導入部分一般由三部分組成:
1. 合同簽訂日期
2. 合同簽訂地點
3. 合同當事人
如：
THIS AGREEMENT, entered into in ____ (place) on the 1st. day of January, 2007 by and between ____ (company's name A) (hereinafter called "arty A"), a ____ (country A) corporation having its registered office at ____ (place A), ____ (country A), and ____ (company's name B) (hereinafter called Party B"), an ____ (country B) company having its registered office at ____ (place B), ____ (country B)
國際貿(mào)易英文合同的標題

和中文合同書一樣，英文合同也需書寫標題。而擬定標題是為了使合同內(nèi)容一目了然，合同標題本身沒有特別的法律效力，且對合同內(nèi)容也沒有影響。報關(guān)員考試
標題的書寫多根據(jù)合同或協(xié)議的類型而定，如：
采購合同 Purchase contract
許可合同 License contract
銷售合同 Sale contract
代理合同 Agency contract
許可協(xié)議 License Agreement
合資協(xié)議 Joint Venture Agreement
如果合同書有封皮的話，封皮上的合同標題應與合同主文中的標題一致。
