The document, authored by E. Allan Farnsworth, reviews the implications of the Vienna Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (C.I.S.G.) for American businesses using standard forms or terms in international trade. It discusses a tripartite hierarchy established by Articles 6 and 4 of the Convention, where domestic law on validity takes precedence over party agreements and the Convention itself. The article emphasizes the need for drafters to reconsider their language in light of the Convention's provisions regarding choice of law, disclaimers, risk of loss, notice of defects, and changed circumstances, suggesting that while careful review is necessary, extensive revisions may not be required.
