UNIDROIT CONVENTION ON INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL LEASING

　　The states parties to this convention, recognizing the importance of removing certain legal impediments to the international financial leasing of equipment, while maintaining a fair balance of interests between the different parties to the transaction, aware of the need to make international financial leasing more available, conscious of the fact that the rules of law governing the traditional contract of hire need to be adapted to the distinctive triangular relationship created by the financial leasing transaction, recognizing therefore the desirability of formulating certain uniform rules relating primarily to the civil and commercial law aspects of international financial leasing, have agreed as follows:

　　本公約各當事國，認識到在保持國際融資租賃交易各方的公正平衡的同時，消除對設備國際融資租賃的某些法律障礙的重要性，意識到使國際融資租賃得以更多地使用的需要，意識到管轄著傳統(tǒng)的租借合同的那些法規(guī)需要適應于融資租賃交易所造成的特有的三邊關系這一事實，因而認識到有必要制訂出某些主要與國際融資租賃的民法和商法方面有關的統(tǒng)一規(guī)則，茲協(xié)議如下：

　　CHAPTER I - SPHERE OF APPLICATION AND GENERAL PROVISIONS 第一章 適用范圍和總則

　　Article 1 第一條

　　1. This convention governs a financial leasing transaction as described in paragraph 2 in which one party (the lessor),

　　a. on the specifications of another party (the lessee), enters into an agreement (the supply agreement) with a third party (the supplier) under which the lessor acquires plants, capital goods or other equipment (the equipment) on terms approved by the lessee so far as they concern its interests, and

　　b. enters into an agreement (the leasing agreement) with the lessee, granting to the lessee the right to use the equipment in return for payment of rentals.

　　1. 本公約管轄第2款所指的融資租賃交易，其中，一方(出租人)，

　　a. 按照另一方(承租人)的規(guī)格要求同某個第三方(供貨人)訂立一項協(xié)議。根據該協(xié)議，出租人按承租人就涉及其利益的部分所認可的條件取得不動產、廠場或其它設備(設備)，并且，

　　b. 同承租人訂立一項協(xié)議(租賃協(xié)議)，以承租人支付租金為條件，授予承租人使用設備的權利。

　　2. The financial leasing transaction referred to the previous paragraph is a transaction which includes the following characteristics:

　　a. the lessee specifies the equipment and selects the supplier without relying primarily on the skill and the judgment of the lessors;

　　b. the equipment is acquired by the lessor in connection with a leasing agreement which, to the knowledge of the supplier, either has been made or is to be made between the lessor and the lessee; and

　　c. the rentals payable under the leasing agreement are calculated so as to take into account in particular the amortization of whole or a substantial part of the cost of the equipment.

　　2. 前款所指的融資租賃交易是一種包括以下特點的交易：

　　a. 承租人指定設備和選擇供貨人，并且不主要地依賴出租人的技能和判斷;

　　b. 出租人之取得設備是同某一租賃協(xié)議相關聯(lián)的，并且供貨人知悉該協(xié)議已經或必將在出租人和承租人之間訂立，以及

　　c. 該租賃協(xié)議項下應付租金的計算是特別考慮了攤提設備的全部或大部分成本的。

　　3. This Convention applies whether or not the lessee has or subsequently acquires the option to buy the equipment or to hold it on lease for a further period, and whether or not for a nominal price or rental.

　　4. This Convention applies to financial leasing transactions in relation to all equipment save that which is to be used primarily for the lessee personal, family or household purpose.

　　3. 無論承租人是否已有或隨后取得購買該設備或憑另一租期的租賃協(xié)議占有該設備的任擇權，也無論是支付名義貨價還是支付租金，本公約均適用。

　　4. 本公約適用于涉及所有的設備的融資租賃交易，除非該設備將主要供承租人個人。家人或家庭使用。

　　Article 2 第二條

　　In the case of one or more sub-leasing transactions involving the same equipment, this Convention applies to each transaction which is a financial leasing transaction and is otherwise subject to this Convention as if the person from whom the first lessor (as defined in paragraph 1 of the previous article) acquired the equipment were the supplier and as if the agreement under which the equipment was so acquired were the supply agreement.

　　在涉及同一設備的一次或多次轉租賃交易的情況下，本公約適用于每筆是融資租賃交易因而本應受本公約管轄的交易，如同(前條第1款所規(guī)定的)向第一出租人提供設備的是供貨人和據以取得設備的協(xié)議是供貨協(xié)議那樣。

　　Article 3 第三條

　　1. This Convention applies when the lessor and the lessee have their places of business in different States and:

　　a. Those States and the State in which the supplier has its place of business are Contracting States;

　　b. Both the supply agreement and the leasing agreement are governed by the law of a Contracting State.

　　1. 本公約適用于出租人和承租人的營業(yè)地在不同的國家以及：

　　a. 這些國家及供貨人有其營業(yè)地的國家是締約國;

　　b. 供貨協(xié)議和租賃協(xié)議均受某一締約國的法律管轄。

　　2. A reference in this Convention to a party’s place of business shall, if it has more than one place of business, mean the place of business which has the closest relationship to the relevant agreement and its performance having regard to the circumstance known to or contemplated by the parties at any time before or at the conclusion of that agreement.

　　2. 本公約所指的某一方的營業(yè)地，若是其有一個以上的營業(yè)地時，系指同相關協(xié)議及其履行關系最密切的那個營業(yè)地，但應顧及各方在訂立該協(xié)議前任何時候或在訂立協(xié)議時已知或已設想到的情況。

　　Article 4第四條

　　1. The provisions of this Convention shall not cease to apply merely because the equipment has become a fixture to or incorporated to land.

　　2. Any question whether or not the equipment has become a fixture to or incorporated to land, and if so the effect on the rights inter se of the lessor and a person having real rights in the land, shall be determined by the law of the State where the land is situated.

　　1. 本公約的條款不得純粹由于設備已成為土地的附著物或已嵌入土地內而終止適用。

　　2. 任何關于該設備是否已成為土地的附著物或已嵌入土地內的問題以及如果該設備已成為土地的附著物或已嵌入土地內時其對出租人以及對享有該土地的物權的人之間的權利的影響，應由該土地所在國的法律確定。

　　Article 5第五條

　　1. The application of this Convention may be exclude only if each of the parties of the supply agreement and each of the parties of the leasing agreement agree to exclude it.

　　1. 除非供貨協(xié)議的每一方和租賃協(xié)議的每一方都同意排除本公約的適用，本公約才可排除適用。

　　2. 凡本公約的適用未按前款排除者，各方在其相互關系中可以減損或改變其任何條款的效力，但第八條第3款和第十三條第3(b)款和第4款除外。

　　Article 6第六條

　　1. In the interpretation of this Convention, regard is to be had to its subject and purpose as set forth in the preamble, to its international character and to the need to promote uniformity to its application and the observance to the good faith in international trade.

　　2. Questions concerning matters governed by this Convention which are not expressly settled in it are to be settled in conformity with the general principle on which it is based or, in the absence of such principles, in conformity with the law applicable by virtue of the rules of private international law.

　　1. 在解釋本公約時，應顧及前言中所申明的本公約的目標和宗旨，顧及其國際性質以及顧及促進其適用時的一致性和在國際貿易中遵守誠信的需要。

　　2. 涉及到由本公約管轄的事宜而未在本公約中明確解決的問題，應按照本公約所依據的總原則來解決，或是在沒有這種總原則時，應按照國際私法規(guī)則所確定的適用法律來解決。

　　出租人擔保承租人的平靜占有將不受享有優(yōu)先所有權或權利，或者主張享有優(yōu)先權或權利并受法院授權行動的人的侵擾，只要這種所有權、權利或主張不是由于承租人的作為或不作為所致。

　　2. 當租賃協(xié)議終止時，承租人除非行使購買權或行使憑另一租期的租賃協(xié)議而持有設備的權利，否則應以前款規(guī)定的狀態(tài)把設備退還給出租人。

　　Article 10第十條

　　1. The duties of the supplier under the supply agreement shall also be owed to the lessee as if it were a party of the agreement and the equipment were to be supplied directly to the lessee. However, the supplier shall not liable to both the lessor and the lessee in respect of the same damage.

　　2. Nothing in this article shall entitle the lessee to terminate or rescind the supply agreement without the consent of the lessor.

　　1. 供貨人在供貨協(xié)議項下的義務也應及于承租人，如同承租人是該協(xié)議的一方以及如同設備是直接供給承租人的一樣。但是，供貨人不應就同一損害同時對出租人和承租人負責。

　　2. 本條絲毫不應使承租人有權不經出租人同意而終止或撤銷供貨協(xié)議。

　　Article 11第十一條

　　The lessee’s right derived form the supply agreement under this Convention shall not be affected by a variation of any term of the agreement previously approved by the lessee unless it consented to that variation.

　　承租人根據本公約的來自供貨協(xié)議的權利，不得因原先經承租人認可的供貨協(xié)議的任何條款發(fā)生變更而受到影響，除非承租人同意此變更。

　　Article 12第十二條

　　a. the lessee has the right as against the lessor to reject the equipment or to terminate the leasing agreement ;and

　　b. the lessor has the right to remedy its failure to tender equipment in conformity with the supply agreement, as if the lessee had agreed to buy the equipment from the lessor under the same terms as those as the supply agreement.

　　a. 承租人有權針對出租人拒收設備或終止租賃協(xié)議;以及

　　3. The lessee shall be entitled to withhold rental payable under the leasing agreement until the lessor has remedied its failure to tender equipment in conformity with the supply agreement or the lessee has lost the right to reject the equipment.

　　2. 前款所賦予的權利應如同承租人已同意按供貨協(xié)議的同樣條款從出租人那里購買設備那樣，以相同的方式行使和在同樣情況下喪失。

　　3. 承租人應有權提留租賃協(xié)議項下的應付租金，直到出租人已補救其過失和提交了符合供貨協(xié)議的設備或承租人已喪失拒收設備的權利時止。

　　4. Where the lessee has exercised a right to terminate the leasing agreement , he lessee shall be entitled to recover the rentals and other sums paid in advance, less a reasonable sum for any benefits the lessee has derived from the equipment.

　　4. 凡是承租人已行使其終止租賃協(xié)議的權利時，承租人應有權收回任何預付的租金及其它款項，但應減去承租人已從該設備取得的任何利益的合理金額。

　　5. 承租人不得因不交付、交付遲延或不合格設備的交付而對出租人有任何別的主張，除非這些是由于出租人的作為或不作為所致。

　　6. 本條絲毫不影響承租人依第十條而享有的針對供貨人的權利。

　　Article 13第十三條

　　1. In the event of the default by the lessee, the lessor may recover accrued unpaid rentals, together with interest and damage.

　　2. Where the lessee’s default is substantial, then subject to paragraph 5 the lessor may also require accelerated payment of the value of the future rentals, where the leasing agreement so provides, or may terminate the leasing agreement and after such termination:

　　a. recover possession of the equipment; and

　　b. recover such damages as will place the lessor in the position in which it would have been had the lessee performed the leasing agreement in accordance with its terms.

　　1. 若遇承租人違約，出租人可以收取到期未付租金，連同利息及損失賠償。

　　2. 若承租人根本違約，則若租賃協(xié)議如此規(guī)定，則出租人還可以在第5款的條件下要求加速支付未到期租金的金額，或可以終止協(xié)議，并在該終止后

The parties may not derogate from or vary the effect of the provision of the present paragraph.

　　3. a.租賃協(xié)議可以規(guī)定按第2(b) 收取損失賠償時的計算方法。

　　b.此種規(guī)定在各方間應是強制性的，除非它會使損失賠償大大超過第2(b)款所規(guī)定的損失賠償。各方不得減損或變更本款的規(guī)定的效力。

　　4. 凡出租人已終止租賃協(xié)議者，它不應有權強制執(zhí)行租賃協(xié)議中規(guī)定的加速支付未到期租金的條款，但在按第2(b)款和第3款計算損失賠償時，可以把這種租金的金額考慮在內。各方不得減損或變更本款的規(guī)定的效力。

　　5. The lessor shall not be entitled to exercise its right of acceleration or its right of termination under paragraph 2 unless it has by notice given the lessee a reasonable opportunity of remedying the defaults so far as the same may be remedied.

　　6. The lessor shall not be entitled to recover damage to the extent that it has failed to take all reasonable steps to mitigate its loss.

　　1. 出租人可以轉讓或以其它方式處理其對設備的或憑租賃協(xié)議所享有的全部或任何權利。這種轉讓不應解除出租人在租賃協(xié)議項下的任何義務或改變租賃協(xié)議的性質或本公約所規(guī)定的其法定待遇。

　　2. 承租人只有在出租人同意和不損害第三方權利時才可以轉讓其對設備的使用權或在租賃協(xié)議項下的任何其它權利。
