1、CHAPTER 5CHAPTER 5ACCEPTANCE AND ORDERACCEPTANCE AND ORDER+In the international trade, negotiations usually proceed by 5 steps, which are inquiry, offer, counter-offer, acceptance and signing the contract. +5.1 Background Information+Acceptance is an essential step of making a deal and signing the c
2、ontract. Acceptance is called commitment in the law. It refers to a sign of the offerees willing to sign a contract and full agreement to all the content of the offer within the validity of the offer. +Acceptance comes after inquiries, offers and counter-offers. Then an order may follow. But, before
3、 acceptance is given, the buyer or the seller has to take into careful consideration such elements as the price and the quality.+Order refers to an oral or written request to supply a specified quantity of goods. It may be the result of an offer or a counter-offer with a positive acceptance. It may
4、be given by letter, telegram, telex or fax, or even orally at a meeting. But order letters are a common form of correspondence for obtaining equipment, service and supplies. +An order letter form must include all the necessary details to make it complete, namely name of goods, catalogue No. and samp
5、le No.; price of goods, including unit price, total value; quality requirement, grade, model name; number and specification; quantity of goods; origin and material; weight, dimensions, color and pattern; packing and marking; terms and payment; delivery requirements, including place, date, mode of tr
6、ansport, whether the order will be carriage paid or carriage forward, etc.; documents, such as Bill of Lading, commercial invoices, insurance policy; special features and others, for example, alternatives if exact goods required are not available.+An order should be replied in good time. If the sell
7、er accepts it, he had better make a repeat of the terms and remember to deliver his good will in the closing section. Praising that the order is a wise one, thanks to a longtime customer for his repeat patronage and a hearty welcome to a new customer are important. Once accepted, the order will be l
8、egally binding and require both parties to honor their agreement. If the seller declines the buyers order, utmost care should be taken when writing a rejection so as to cause no harm to future business.+5.2 Situational Conversation +Section 1: Accepting the Offer +M = Mason; L = Liu+M: Im very happy

11、rice as we had last time.+L: You are right. However, it actually is much cheaper than last time.+M: Why did you say so?

12、 dollars has been devaluing against Chinese currency since then. For this reason only, we have already lost 3%.+M: Im sorry to hear that.+L: Worse still, affected by oil prices in the international market, steel and plastic prices in Chinese domestic market have increased tremendously.

13、 and plastics are our main materials. Under such circumstances, we still offer you the same price, even a little lower. It means we are giving you a special favor on the price.+M: Now we understood more about your situation. We are not going to insist on our position any more. We accept your price.

36、订货+在国际贸易中,洽谈交易程序一般按询盘报盘还盘接受签订合同这五个环节进行的。+一、背景知识一、背景知识+接受是达成交易和订立合同必不可少的环节。接受在法律上叫做承诺。它是指受盘人在报盘有效期内完全同意报盘的全部内容,愿意订立合同的一种表示。+接受之前要进行询盘、报盘与还盘;接受之后便是订购。但是,表示接受前,买方或卖方须谨慎考虑诸如价格与质量等内容。+订货指口头或书面请求提供特定量的货物。订货往往是交易双方对报盘或还盘表示同意后的直接结果。订货可通过信函、电报、电传提出,甚至可在开会时口头提出。不过购买设备、服务及储备品时,通常用信函进行订货。完整的订货信函或订货单必须包括以下细节:商品名
37、称、目录号码和样品编号;价格,包括单价、总价;质量要求、品级、型号和规格;商品数量;原产地和使用材料;重量、尺码、颜色、式样;包装和标志;付款条件;送货须知,包括地点、日期、运输方式、运费到付还是运费付讫等;货运单据,例如提货单、商业发票、保险单等;特殊性能和其他注意事项,例如,如果所要的商品没有现货供应,是否同意以别的商品替代等。+收到订单应及时回复。卖方接受订单,最好在回复时重申订单条款,并在结尾时表达良好的祝愿,称赞他们的订货是明智的,对老主顾的惠顾表示感谢,或对新客户表示衷心的欢迎。订单一旦被接受,就具有法律约束力并要求买卖双方履行合同。如果卖方无法接受买方的订单,在写回绝订单的信时应
38、特别小心,以免以后的买卖受到影响。+二、情景对话二、情景对话 +对话对话1:接受:接受报盘报盘+M = Mason; L = Liu+M:很高兴告知你们的货物在我们的市场上销售极好。你们的新理念广受我们消费者的欢迎。为满足销售工具套件的所有超市的大量需求,我们想立即订购一批新货。+L:很高兴听到这个好消息。我们会尽力满足你们的要求。+M:为满足快速增长的需要,我们的订购量是上次的3倍多。请根据2000套的数量报出最优惠的价格。+L:2.48美元/套FOB中国港。+M:几乎和我们上次订购的价格差不多。+L:对。但是实际上要比上次更便宜。+M:此话怎讲?能不能再解释一下?+L:自上次订购后形势发生
39、了很大的变化。我们至少面临两方面的压力。你可能知道,美元兑人民币的汇率从那时起一直在下降。仅由于这一原因,我们就已经损失3%。+M:听到这个消息感到很抱歉。+L:更糟糕的是,受国际市场原油价格的影响,中国国内钢材和塑料市场价格发生了巨大的增长。钢材和塑料是我们主要的原材料。在这种情况下,我们仍然给你们同样的报价,甚至更低一点。这就意味着我们给你们的是特别的优惠价。+M:那现在我们更了解你们的情况。我们不再坚持己见,决定接受你们的报价。如果国际油价降低,我们要求价格自动随之而降。+L:完全同意。希望未来形势会越来越好。+对话对话2:下:下订单订单+B = Betty; D = David+B:您
