23.Business as we know it today would be impossible if there was no agreement or contract to bind the contracting parties. Long ago， people devised a means for bargaining for the conduct of others by exchanging promises. The exchange of promises came to be known as“agreements”and gradually became very important in the live of the people and in the field of business. A promise or agreement is reached as a result of the process of offer and acceptance. When an agreement is reached， a contract is formed， which creates legal obligations enforceable by law.
Contracts can be long or short， formal or informal， simple or complicated， and verbal or written， of which the most popular is the written contract（or pre-printed contract）。The importance of a contract in an international sales transaction cannot be underestimated. Often it is the only document between the parties to which they may refer for clarification of mutual responsibilities， resolution of disputes in the event of disagreement. And such a contract serves as a“living document”that may well survive the relationship it defines. So the exporter should avoid viewing the contract merely as a document that initiates transaction and subsequently is filed and forgotten.
