the contract and before that party acts in reliance on any notice

of the contract , unless in the circumstances the first party had a
reasonable alternative.

it.

mistake, (b) gives incorrect information, (c) commits fraud, (d)

(1) A third party may require
performance of a contractual obligation when its right to do so has
been expressly agreed upon between the promisor and the promisee,
or when such agreement is to be inferred from the purpose of the
contract or the circumstances of the case. The third party need not
be identified at the time the agreement is concluded.
第三人可以请求合同债务之履行,如果它如此行为之权利已在允诺人与受诺人之间明确地达成协议,或者如果此种协议能够从合同的目的或者案件的具体情事中推断出来。该第三人无须于达成该协议时即已特定下来。
(2) If the third party
renounces the right to performance the right is treated as never
having accrued to it.
如果第三人放弃履行请求权,则视为该权利从未对它发生过。
(3) The promisee may by notice
to the promisor deprive the third party of the right to performance
unless: (a) the third party has received notice from the promisee
that the right has been made irrevocable, or (b) the promisor or
the promisee has received notice from the third party that the
latter accepts the right.
受诺人可以通过向允诺人发出的通知剥夺该第三人的履行请求权,除非:1.第三人已接到受诺人的通知,称该权利已成为不可撤销的;或者2.允诺人或受诺人接到第三人的通知,称后者接受了该权利。
Article 6.111 - Change of
Circumstances第6:111条:情事变更
(1) A party is bound to fulfil
its obligations even if performance has become more onerous,
whether because the cost of performance has increased or because
the value of the performance it receives has
diminished.
当事人应清偿其债务,即便是因为履行费用已经提高或是因为它所受领之履行的价值已经降低而使履行变得非常困难亦然。
(2) If, however, performance of
the contract becomes excessively onerous because of a change of
circumstances, the parties are bound to enter into negotiations
with a view to adapting the contract or terminating it, provided
that: (a) the change of circumstances occurred after the time of
conclusion of the contract, (b) the possibility of a change of
circumstances was not one which could reasonably have been taken
into account at the time of conclusion of the contract, and (c) the
risk of the change of circumstances is not one which, according to
the contract, the party affected should be required to
bear.
但如果由于情事的变更使合同履行变得格外困难,当事人应当进行磋商以改订合同或者解除合同,只要:1.情事变更系发生在合同达成之后,2.情事变更之可能性于达成合同之时并不能够合理地被考虑到,而且3.依据合同,情事变更之风险并非受影响之当事人所应承担的。
(3) If the parties fail to
reach agreement within a reasonable period, the court may: (a)
terminate the contract at a date and on terms to be determined by
the court; or (b) adapt the contract in order to distribute between
the parties in a just and equitable manner the losses and gains
resulting from the change of circumstances.
In either case, the court may
award damages for the loss suffered through a party refusing to
negotiate or breaking off negotiations contrary to good faith and
fair dealing.
如果当事人于一段合理的时间内没有达成合意,法院可以:1.按法院确定的时间和条件解除合同;或者2.改订合同,以便以公平合理的方式在当事人之间分摊由情事变更产生的损失和收益。
在任何一种情形,法院可以对因一方当事人悖于诚实信用与公平交易之拒绝磋商或者终止磋商而遭受的损失判予损害赔偿。

does not make such a declaration, the other party may within a
reasonable time appropriate the performance to such obligation as

Article 8.103 - Fundamental
Non-Performance第8:103条:根本性不履行
A non-performance of an
obligation is fundamental to the contract if: (a) strict compliance
with the obligation is of the essence of the contract; or (b) the
non-performance substantially deprives the aggrieved party of what
it was entitled to expect under the contract, unless the other
party did not foresee and could not reasonably have foreseen that
result; or (c) the non-performance is intentional and gives the
aggrieved party reason to believe that it cannot rely on the other
party's future performance.
如有下列情形,不履行即为根本性的:1.严格符合债务要求是合同的核心;或2.不履行实质上剥夺了受害方依合同有权期待的东西,除非另一方没有预见到而且也不能够合理地预见到该结果;或3.不履行是故意的,并且使受害方有理由认为它不能再信赖对方当事人未来的履行。
Article 8.104 - Cure by
Non-Performing Party第8:104条:不履行方的补救
A party whose tender of
performance is not accepted by the other party because it does not
conform to the contract may make a new and conforming tender where
the time for performance has not yet arrived or the delay would not
be such as to constitute a fundamental
non-performance.

Performance第8:105条:履行的保证
(1) A party who reasonably
believes that there will be a fundamental non-performance by the
other party may demand adequate assurance of due performance and
meanwhile may withhold performance of its own obligations so long
as such reasonable belief continues.
一方当事人若合理地认为另一方当事人将会根本性不履行,则该方当事人可以要求对正常履行提供充分的保证;同时,只要这种合理的认识持续存在,就可以中止其自己债务的履行。
(2) Where this assurance is not
provided within a reasonable time, the party demanding it may
terminate the contract if it still reasonably believes that there
will be a fundamental non-performance by the other party and gives
notice of termination without delay.

period the aggrieved party may withhold performance of its own
reciprocal obligations and may claim damages, but it may not resort
to any other remedy. If it receives notice from the other party
that the latter will not perform within that period, or if upon
expiry of that period due performance has not been made, the
aggrieved party may resort to any of the remedies that may be
available under Chapter 9.
在这段额外的期限中,受害方当事人可以中止它自己相应债务的履行并可请求损害赔偿,但它不得寻求任何其他的救济。如果它接到对方当事人的通知,称后者于该期限内将不履行,或者如果于该期限过后尚未作出正常的履行,受害方当事人可寻求依第九章规定所可采取的任何救济。
(3) If in a case of delay in
performance which is not fundamental the aggrieved party has given
a notice fixing an additional period of time of reasonable length,
it may terminate the contract at the end of the period of notice.
The aggrieved party may in its notice provide that if the other
party does not perform within the period fixed by the notice the
contract shall terminate automatically. If the period stated is too
short, the aggrieved party may terminate, or, as the case may be,
the contract shall terminate automatically, only after a reasonable
period from the time of the notice.
如果迟延履行尚未构成根本性不履行,而受害方已发出了一份确定了长度合理的额外期限的通知,那么它可以在通知的期限终了时解除合同。受害方当事人可以在它的通知中规定,如果对方当事人于通知所确定的期限内没有履行合同将自动解除。如果规定的期限过短,则只有在发出通知后的一段合理的时间后,受害方始得解除合同,或者如有可能合同始自动解除。

the impediment into account at the time of the conclusion of the
contract, or to have avoided or overcome the impediment or its
consequences.
如果一方当事人能够证明,由于超出其控制的障碍导致了不履行,而且不能够合理地期待它于合同成立时将此种障碍考虑在内或者避免或克服该障碍或其后果,则对该方当事人的不履行免责。

only temporary the excuse provided by this article has effect for
the period during which the impediment exists. However, if the
delay amounts to a fundamental non-performance, the obligee may
treat it as such.
如果障碍只是暂时的,本条规定的免责事由仅于该障碍存续的期间内有其效力。然如果此种迟延构成了根本性不履行,债权人则可以如是待之。
(3) The non-performing party
must ensure that notice of the impediment and of its effect on its
ability to perform is received by the other party within a
reasonable time after the non-performing party knew or ought to
have known of these circumstances. The other party is entitled to
damages for any loss resulting from the non-receipt of such
notice.

Withhold Performance第9:201条:中止履行权

circumstances.
与对方当事人同时或者在其后履行的一方当事人可以中止履行直到对方提出了履行或者已经履行。第一方当事人可以中止其全部的履行,也可以中止于具体情事中合乎情理的部分的履行。

Performed in Parts第9:302条:应部分地履行的合同
If the contract is to be
performed in separate parts and in relation to a part to which a
counter-performance can be apportioned, there is a fundamental
non-performance, the aggrieved party may exercise its right to
terminate under this Section in relation to the part concerned. It
may terminate the contract as a whole only if the non-performance
is fundamental to the contract as a whole.
如果合同是要分成不同的部分加以履行,而且对于其中的一部分对待履行亦得分摊开来,则发生有根本性不履行时,受害方当事人可以就相关的部分行使它享有的本节规定的解除权。只有当不履行对于整个合同而言是根本性的时,它才可以解除整个合同。

have become aware of the tender. (b) If, however, the aggrieved
party knows or has reason to know that the other party still
intends to tender within a reasonable time, and the aggrieved party
unreasonably fails to notify the other party that it will not
accept performance, it loses its right to terminate if the other
party in fact tenders within a reasonable time.
1.在履行于到期时尚未被提交之场合,受害方当事人无须在提交被作出前发出解除的通知;如果后来提交被作出了,而它在知道或者应当知道该提交之后的一段合理的时间内仍未作出此种通知,它则丧失其解除权。2.然如果受害方知道或者有原因应知道对方仍然想要在一段合理的时间内提交履行,而受害方不合理地没有通知对方它不欲受领履行,如果对方果真于一段合理的时间内提交了履行,则受害方当事人丧失其解除权。
(4) If a party is excused under
