THE STATES PARTIES TO THIS CONVENTION, DESIRING to establish common provisions concerning agency in the international sale of goods, BEARING IN MIND the objectives of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, CONSIDERING that the development of international trade on the basis of equality and mutual benefit is an important element in promoting friendly relations among States, bearing in mind the New International Economic Order, BEING OF THE OPINION that the adoption of uniform rules which govern agency in the international sale of goods and take into account the different social, economic and legal systems would contribute to the removal of legal barriers in international trade and promote the development of international trade, HAVE AGREED as follows:
本公约各缔约国愿就国际货物销售中的代理制订共同条款， 铭记联合国关于国际货物销售合同公约的目标，铭记国际经济新秩序，考虑到在平等互利基础上发展国际贸易是促进国家间友好关系的重要因素，认为照顾到不同的社会、经济和法律制度，就国际货物销售中的代理采用统一规则将有助于排除国际贸易的障碍，促进国际贸易的发展，兹协议如下：

CHAPTER III - LEGAL EFFECTS OF ACTS CARRIED OUT BY THE AGENT
第三章 代理人实施的行为的法律效力
Article 12 第十二条
Where an agent acts on behalf of a principal within the scope of his authority and the third party knew or ought to have known that the agent was acting as an agent, the acts of the agent shall directly bind the principal and the third party to each other, unless it follows from the circumstances of the case, for example, by a reference to a contract of commission, that the agent undertakes to bind himself only.
代理人于其权限范围内代理本人实施行为，而且第三人知道或理应知道代理人是以代理身份实施行为时，代理人的行为直接约束本人与第三人，但代理人实施该行为只对自己发生拘束力时(例如所涉及的是行纪合同)，不在此限。
Article 13第十三条
(1) Where the agent acts on behalf of a principal within the scope of his authority, his acts shall bind only the agent and the third party if:
(a) the third party neither knew nor ought to have known that the agent was acting as an agent, or
(b) it follows from the circumstances of the case, for example by a reference to a contract of commission, that the agent undertakes to bind himself only.
(1)代理人于其权限范围内代理本人实施行为，在下列情形，其行为只拘束代理人和第三人，(a)第三人不知道、亦无从知道代理人是以代理人身份实施行为;或者(b)代理人实施该行为只对自己发生拘束力(例如所涉及的是行纪合同)。
(2) Nevertheless:
(a) where the agent, whether by reason of the third party's failure of performance or for any other reason, fails to fulfill or is not in a position to fulfill his obligations to the principal, the principal may exercise against the third party the rights acquired on the principal's behalf by the agent, subject to any defences which the third party may set up against the agent;
(b) where the agent fails to fulfill or is not in a position to fulfill his obligations to the third party, the third party may exercise against the principal the rights which the third party has against the agent, subject to any defences which the agent may set up against the third party and which the principal may set up against the agent.
(2)但是：(a)当代理人无论是因第三人不履行义务或是因其它理由而未履行或无法履行其对本人的义务时，本人可以对第三人行使代理人代理本人所取得的权利，但应受到第三人可能对代理人提出的任何抗辩的限制。
(b)当代理人未履行或无法履行其对第三人的义务时，第三人可对本人行使该第三人对代理人所有的权利，但应受到代理人可能对第三人提出的任何抗辩以及本人可能对代理人提出的任何抗辩的限制。
(3) The rights under paragraph 2 may be exercised only if notice of intention to exercise them is given to the agent and the third party or principal, as the case may be. As soon as the third party or principal has received such notice, he may no longer free himself from his obligations by dealing with the agent.
本条第2款所述各项权利只有在意欲行使这些权利的通知视情况送达代理人与第三人或本人时才可行使。一旦第三人或本人收到是项通知，即不得再与代理人进行交涉而解除自己的义务。
(4) Where the agent fails to fulfill or is not in a position to fulfill his obligations to the third party because of the principal's failure of performance, the agent shall communicate the name of the principal to the third party.
当代理人因本人未履行义务而未履行或无法履行其对第三人的义务时，代理人应将本人的名称通知第三人。
(5) Where the third party fails to fulfill his obligations under the contract to the agent, the agent shall communicate the name of the third party to the principal.
(6) The principal may not exercise against the third party the rights acquired on his behalf by the agent if it appears from the circumstances of the case that the third party, had he known the principal's identity, would not have entered into the contract.
(7) An agent may, in accordance with the express or implied instructions of the principal, agree with the third party to derogate from or vary the effect of paragraph 2.
(5)当第三人未履行其对代理人的合同义务时，代理人应将第三人的名称通知本人。
(6)如果按照当时情况，第三人若知道本人的身份就不会订立合同时，本人不得对第三人行使代理人代理本人所取得的权利。
(7)代理人可按本人明示或默示的指示与第三人约定，改变本条第二款或改变其效力。
Article 14 第十四条
(1) Where an agent acts without authority or超越授权范围 acts outside the scope of his authority, his acts do not bind the principal and the third party to each other.
(2) Nevertheless, where the conduct of the principal causes the third party reasonably and in good faith to believe that the agent has authority to act on behalf of the principal and that the agent is acting within the scope of that authority, the principal may not invoke against the third party the lack of authority of the agent.
(1)当代理人未经授权或超越授权范围而为某种行为时，其行为对本人和第三人无拘束力。
(2)但是，若本人的行为使第三人合理地并善意地相信代理人有权代理本人为某种行为并且相信代理人是在该项授权范围内为某种行为时，本人不得以代理人无代理权而对抗第三人。
Article 15 第十五条
(1) An act by an agent who acts without authority or who acts outside the scope of his authority may be ratified by the principal. On ratification the act produces the same effects as if it had initially been carried out with authority.
(2) Where, at the time of the agent's act, the third party neither knew nor ought to have known of the lack of authority, he shall not be liable to the principal if, at any time before ratification, he gives notice of his refusal to become bound by a ratification. Where the principal ratifies but does not do so within a reasonable time, the third party may refuse to be bound by the ratification if he promptly notifies the principal.
(3) Where, however, the third party knew or ought to have known of the lack of authority of the agent, the third party may not refuse to become bound by a ratification before the expiration of any time agreed for ratification or, failing agreement, such reasonable time as the third party may specify.
(4) The third party may refuse to accept a partial ratification.
(1)代理人未经授权或超越授权范围而为的行为，可由本人追认。追认后，该行为即发生如同自始即经授权的同一效力。
(2)第三人若在代理人行为时，不知道、也不能知道该代理人未经授权，并且在追认发出通知，拒绝受追认的拘束时，即对本人不负责任。本人虽已追认，而未在合理期间内追认时，第三人如立即通知本人，即可拒绝受追认的拘束。
(3)但是，如第三人知道或能知道代理人未经授权，则在约定的追认届满前，若无此约定，在第三人确定的合理期间届满前，第三人不得拒绝受追认的拘束。
(4)第三人可拒绝接受部分追认。
(5) Ratification shall take effect when notice of it reaches the third party or the ratification otherwise comes to his attention. Once effective, it may not be revoked.
(6) Ratification is effective notwithstanding that the act itself could not have been effectively carried out at the time of ratification.
(7) Where the act has been carried out on behalf of a corporation or other legal person before its creation, ratification is effective only if allowed by the law of the State governing its creation.
(8) Ratification is subject to no requirements as to form. It may be express or may be inferred from the conduct of the principal.
(5)追认于追认通知到达第三人或追认经其他方法为第三人获悉时生效。追认发生效力后不能撤回。
(6)即使追认时行为本身尚未能有效地完成，追认仍然有效。
(7)行为是代理一个尚未成立的公司或其它法人而实施的，只在准许公司设立的国家的法律允许时，追认才有效。
(8)追认的形式不受任何要求的限制。既可明示追认也可依本人之行为推断之。
Article 16 第十六条
(1) An agent who acts without authority or who acts outside the scope of his authority shall, failing ratification, be liable to pay the third party such compensation as will place the third party in the same position as he would have been in if the agent had acted with authority and within the scope of his authority.
(2) The agent shall not be liable, however, if the third party knew or ought to have known that the agent had no authority or was acting outside the scope of his authority.
(1)未经授权或超越授权范围而行为的代理人，若其行为未得到追认，应承担对第三人的赔偿责任，以使第三人处于如同代理人有权并且在其权限范围内行为时的状况一样。
(2)但是，若第三人知道或能知道代理人未经授权或超越授权范围而行为时，代理人不承担责任。
CHAPTER IV - TERMINATION OF THE AUTHORITY OF THE AGENT
第四章 代理权的终止
Article 17 第十七条
The authority of the agent is terminated: 代理权在下列情况下终止：
(a) when this follows from any agreement between the principal and the agent;
(b) on completion of the transaction or transactions for which the authority was created;
(c) on revocation by the principal or renunciation by the agent, whether or not this is consistent with the terms of their agreement.
(1)依本人与代理人间的协议终止;
(2)为之授权的一笔或数笔交易已经完成;
(3)无论是否符合本人与代理人的协议条款，本人撤回代理权或代理人辞任。
Article 18第十八条
The authority of the agent is also terminated when the applicable law so provides.
代理权亦可依其所适用的法律的规定而终止。
Article 19 第十九条
The termination of the authority shall not affect the third party unless he knew or ought to have known of the termination or the facts which caused it.
代理权的终止不影响第三人，除非第三人知道或能知道代理权的终止或造成终止的事实。
Article 20 第二十条
Notwithstanding the termination of his authority, the agent remains authorised to perform on behalf of the principal or his successors the acts which are necessary to prevent damage to their interests.
代理权虽已终止，为不使本人或其他继承人的利益受到损失，代理人仍有权代理本人或其继承人实施必要的行为。

(4) If a Contracting State makes no declaration under paragraph 1 of this Article, the Convention is to extend to all territorial units of that State.
