r to find and replace the old client39。下面是些有關(guān)合同范本的網(wǎng)址,供參考:~wyman/5. Obtain forms in books or CDROM. Typical forms of contracts can be found in form books, such as West39。更為方便的是,許多論文和書中的合同范本都有電子文本儲存在磁盤或光盤中。類似意向書的范例見附錄C。8. State the correct legal names of the parties in the first paragraph. As obvious as this is, it is one of the most mon problems in contracts. For individuals, include full first and last name, and middle initials if available, and other identifying information, if appropriate, such as Jr., ., etc. For corporations, check with the Secretary of State where incorporated.。為便于閱讀,一般要在合同的第一段為雙方弄一個別稱,如:馬丁。11. Include a blank for the date in the first paragraph. Putting the date in the first paragraph makes it easy to find after the contract is signed. It also makes it easy to describe the contract in other documents in a precise way, such as the December 20, 2000, Contract for Sale of Real Estate.。書寫此類條款的目的是為了讓讀者(通常指合同雙方,法官,陪審團)很快地了解到合同的主要內(nèi)容是什么,合同雙方是誰,以及他們?yōu)槭裁春炗喓贤?,等等。比如:撰寫勞動合同時列出的標題詞就像下面這些:引述語聘用職責期限賠償14. Complete each paragraph by writing the contract terms that apply to that paragraph. This is simple. You learned this in elementary school. Just explain in words what the parties agree to do or not do paragraph by paragraph.,不要東拉西扯,是的,這很簡單,你可能上小學時就學過,但我還是要提醒你,要集中火力,一段一段地分別說明合同雙方同意做什么,不同意做什么。在書寫合同的同時,你可能隨時會想到一些需要添加條款、措詞和問題,要盡快記在便箋簿上,因為他們太容易忘了。將一個事實來回地說很容易讓人模棱兩可。不要為碰運氣而忽略這個。如果你想讓你的文件成為具有法律效力的合同,就要在標題中注明合同字樣。還是讓我們來來看一個例子吧,主動語態(tài)的句子:賣方將把此物賣給買方。21. Don39。22. Don39。同樣,在合同中也不要說留置權(quán)人和留置人,抵押權(quán)人和抵押人,保證人和被保證人,許可人和被許可人,當事人A和當事人B......到底怎么說,這就要看你駕馭語言的能力了,不過,要把握的一條原則,即在整個合同中,對合同一方只能用一個別稱。這將減少一些不經(jīng)意的錯誤。t rely on the rules of grammar. The rules of grammar that you learned in school are not universal. The judge or jury interpreting the meaning of your contract may have learned different rules. Write the contract so that no matter what rules they learned, the contract is clear and unambiguous. Follow this test for clear writing: Remove all periods and mas, then read it. Choosing the right words and placing them in the right place makes the writing clear without punctuation.。27. Don39。因此,要使用普通的詞語,表達普通的意思,為普通人撰寫合同。 worry about the opposing lawyer a year from now hunting for ambiguities to get your contract into court.。29. Be consistent in grammar and punctuation. The rules of grammar and punctuation you learned may differ from others, but you had better be consistent in your use of them. Be aware of such things as where you put ending quote marks, whether you place mas after years and states, and similar variations in style.。有了這些條款,一旦合同引起訴訟,你就已經(jīng)為了你的客戶打這場訴訟戰(zhàn)準備了一些“彈藥”。將一個詞語的開頭字母大寫表明你想讓它有一個特別的意思。定義合同術(shù)語不是在合同的開頭,也不是在合同的結(jié)尾,而是在這個術(shù)語第一次出現(xiàn)的時候,這樣做,有利于讀者更好地理解合同。所以撰寫合同時要讓合同自己為自己釋義。37. Inform your client of the risks. Writing a letter to the client as you write the contract is the perfect way to inform the client of the risks and rewards of entering into the contract. Frequently, problems do not bee apparent until time is spent trying to word a contract.。s spelling and grammar checker. This almost goes without saying today, especially since Microsoft Word now checks your spelling and grammar as you type. (Unfortunately it also changes per stirpes to per stupid if you fail to watch it closely.) And now there are even puter programs that check contract documents for undefined terms. DealProof is packaged with Corel WordPerfect for law offices, and DocProofReader is available for download for MS Word 97 and 2000.、段落序號以及上下文的注解,你可以自己手動來做,也可以用文字編輯軟件中的拼寫和語法檢查功能來完成,特別是自從有了微軟的word軟件后,做這樣的工作你似乎不要費多少精力(但機器有時也不可靠,如果你不看仔細,它就會把per stirpes改變?yōu)?per stupid)。你的同事不僅能通過文字處理軟件來幫你檢查到你沒有查到的拼寫和語法錯誤,而且他們還能發(fā)現(xiàn)你起草時沒有察覺到的矛盾和混淆之處。s wishes.41讓你的客戶讀你草擬的合同。如果你將第一稿合同存了兩份在電腦中,那么其中的一份可以用來存檔,另一份則可以用來繼續(xù)修改。帶草字的擴展名表示此合同是草擬版本。如果你存了很多合同的草擬版本,那么你就可以很容易地用文字處理軟件或者是CompareRite軟件來比較分析兩個合同版本。用厚一點的紙不僅復印副本很容易,而且,它被保存的時間也要長一些。47. Initial every page of the contract. Having each party initial each page of the contract will make it less likely that anyone could claim a page was changed after the contract was signed.,這樣做可以避免有人懷疑合同簽署后被更改過。49. Be sure that corporate officers include their titles, the corporation name and the word as. Failure to do this can result in personal liability of the officer. The proper way to sign in a representative capacity is as follows:ABC Corporation, a Florida corporationBy:____________________________________John Jones, as its President,一定要寫上他們的職務和其所在公司的名稱。 White
