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:

　　本公约各当事国，认识到在保持国际融资租赁交易各方的公正平衡的同时，消除对设备国际融资租赁的某些法律障碍的重要性，意识到使国际融资租赁得以更多地使用的需要，意识到管辖着传统的租借合同的那些法规需要适应于融资租赁交易所造成的特有的三边关系这一事实，因而认识到有必要制订出某些主要与国际融资租赁的民法和商法方面有关的统一规则，兹协议如下：

　　CHAPTER I - SPHERE OF APPLICATION AND GENERAL PROVISIONS 第一章 适用范围和总则

　　Article 1 第一条

　　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. 本公约管辖第2款所指的融资租赁交易，其中，一方(出租人)，

　　a. 按照另一方(承租人)的规格要求同某个第三方(供货人)订立一项协议。根据该协议，出租人按承租人就涉及其利益的部分所认可的条件取得不动产、厂场或其它设备(设备)，并且，

　　b. 同承租人订立一项协议(租赁协议)，以承租人支付租金为条件，授予承租人使用设备的权利。

　　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. 前款所指的融资租赁交易是一种包括以下特点的交易：

　　a. 承租人指定设备和选择供货人，并且不主要地依赖出租人的技能和判断;

　　b. 出租人之取得设备是同某一租赁协议相关联的，并且供货人知悉该协议已经或必将在出租人和承租人之间订立，以及

　　c. 该租赁协议项下应付租金的计算是特别考虑了摊提设备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. 无论承租人是否已有或随后取得购买该设备或凭另一租期的租赁协议占有该设备的任择权，也无论是支付名义货价还是支付租金，本公约均适用。

　　4. 本公约适用于涉及所有的设备的融资租赁交易，除非该设备将主要供承租人个人。家人或家庭使用。

　　Article 2 第二条

　　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.

　　在涉及同一设备的一次或多次转租赁交易的情况下，本公约适用于每笔是融资租赁交易因而本应受本公约管辖的交易，如同(前条第1款所规定的)向第一出租人提供设备的是供货人和据以取得设备的协议是供货协议那样。

　　Article 3 第三条

　　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. 本公约适用于出租人和承租人的营业地在不同的国家以及：

　　a. 这些国家及供货人有其营业地的国家是缔约国;

　　b. 供货协议和租赁协议均受某一缔约国的法律管辖。

　　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. 本公约所指的某一方的营业地，若是其有一个以上的营业地时，系指同相关协议及其履行关系最密切的那个营业地，但应顾及各方在订立该协议前任何时候或在订立协议时已知或已设想到的情况。

　　Article 4第四条

　　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. 本公约的条款不得纯粹由于设备已成为土地的附着物或已嵌入土地内而终止适用。

　　2. 任何关于该设备是否已成为土地的附着物或已嵌入土地内的问题以及如果该设备已成为土地的附着物或已嵌入土地内时其对出租人以及对享有该土地的物权的人之间的权利的影响，应由该土地所在国的法律确定。

　　Article 5第五条

　　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.

　　2. Where the application of this Convention has not been excluded in accordance with the previous paragraph, the parties may in their relations with each other, derogete from or vary the effect of any of its provisions except as stated in Article 8(3) and 13(3)(b) and (4).

　　1. 除非供货协议的每一方和租赁协议的每一方都同意排除本公约的适用，本公约才可排除适用。

　　2. 凡本公约的适用未按前款排除者，各方在其相互关系中可以减损或改变其任何条款的效力，但第八条第3款和第十三条第3(b)款和第4款除外。

　　Article 6第六条

　　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. 在解释本公约时，应顾及前言中所申明的本公约的目标和宗旨，顾及其国际性质以及顾及促进其适用时的一致性和在国际贸易中遵守诚信的需要。

　　2. 涉及到由本公约管辖的事宜而未在本公约中明确解决的问题，应按照本公约所依据的总原则来解决，或是在没有这种总原则时，应按照国际私法规则所确定的适用法律来解决。
