Cliffhangers in International Distribution Agreements
Applicable Law – Mandatory Provisions – Competent Courts: avoiding suspenseful moments in Litigating International Distribution Agreements when using your standard set of Terms and Conditions.
Internationale Geschäfte erfordern internationale Verträge, die perfekt auf Ähnlichkeiten, Unterschiede und Besonderheiten der nationalen Rechtsordnungen abgestimmt sind. Dies kann je nach Land und Region (z.B. innerhalb oder außerhalb der EU), in denen Ihr Unternehmen tätig ist, mehr oder weniger schwierig sein. Internationale Konventionen, das geltende nationale Recht und das zuständige Gericht geben die Richtung vor; dennoch haben national und/oder international zwingende Bestimmungen starken Einfluss. Sie müssen die Basics richtig machen, um spannende Momente in Rechtsstreitigkeiten vor nationalen Gerichten oder in internationalen Schiedsverfahren zu vermeiden.
