Description

The CISG governs international sales contracts if (1) both parties are located in Contracting States, or (2) private international law leads to the application of the law of a Contracting State (although, as permitted by the CISG (article 95), several Contracting States have declared that they are not bound by the latter ground). The autonomy of the parties to international sales contracts is a fundamental theme of the Convention: the parties can, by agreement, derogate from virtually any CISG rule, or can exclude the applicability of the CISG entirely in favor of other law. When the Convention applies, it does not govern every issue that can arise from an international sales contract: for example, issues concerning the validity of the contract or the effect of the contract on the property in (ownership of) the goods sold are, as expressly provided in the CISG, beyond the scope of the Convention, and are left to the law applicable by virtue of the rules of private international law (Article 4). Questions concerning matters governed by the Convention but that are not expressly addressed therein are to be settled in conformity with the general principles of the CISG or, in the absence of such principles, by reference to the law applicable under the rules of private international law. Title: Understanding the Delaware Contract for the International Sale of Goods with Purchase Money Security Interest Introduction: The Delaware Contract for the International Sale of Goods with Purchase Money Security Interest (Delaware CSG with PSI) is a legal framework that governs international transactions involving the sale of goods and the creation of a purchase money security interest. This contract sets out the rights and obligations of the parties involved, ensuring a secure and efficient exchange of goods and financing arrangements. In Delaware, there are two primary types of contracts falling under this framework: the traditional purchase money security interest contract and the floating lien contract. 1. Traditional Purchase Money Security Interest Contract: The traditional Delaware CSG with PSI is a contract that allows sellers to grant a purchase money security interest to buyers as collateral for their financing of the goods' purchase. This contract enables the buyer to obtain financing or credit using the purchased goods as collateral. In case of default, the seller retains a security interest in the goods, allowing the seller to reclaim the goods or the proceeds from their sale. Key features and benefits of the traditional Delaware CSG with PSI: a. Clarity and Protection: The contract explicitly outlines the rights and obligations of both the buyer and seller, offering clarity and protection to both parties involved in the purchase agreement. b. Financing Options: Buyers have the advantage of leveraging the purchased goods as collateral to obtain financing, facilitating smooth and secure transactions. c. Default Resolution: In the event of buyer default, the contract provides a clear framework for the seller to reclaim the goods or their proceeds, safeguarding their financial investment. d. International Applicability: The Delaware CSG with PSI can be applied to international transactions, ensuring a consistent and standardized approach to the sale and purchase of goods across jurisdictions. 2. Floating Lien Contract: The Delaware CSG with PSI also encompasses the floating lien contract, which differs from the traditional PSI contract in certain aspects. Unlike the traditional contract where security interests are granted to secure specific goods, the floating lien contract grants security interests in a fluctuating pool of goods, with the collateral being constantly changing. This type of contract is commonly used in scenarios where buyers regularly trade or deal in goods. Key features and benefits of the floating lien contract: a. Flexibility: The floating lien contract allows buyers to have a revolving line of credit, providing flexibility for the purchase and sale of goods within a certain agreed-upon arrangement. b. Efficient Financing: Buyers enjoy the convenience of quick financing for various transactions by leveraging their pool of constantly changing goods as collateral. c. Streamlined Trade Operations: The floating nature of the lien allows for a faster and efficient exchange of goods, as there is no need for continuous asset-specific security interests. Conclusion: The Delaware Contract for the International Sale of Goods with Purchase Money Security Interest presents a robust legal framework facilitating secure transactions and financing arrangements for international trade. Within this framework, two primary contract types exist: the traditional purchase money security interest contract and the floating lien contract. By understanding the nuances of these contracts, parties involved in international transactions can ensure compliance, minimize risks, and benefit from efficient trade operations.
