摘要

本章讨论了当事人如何在合同中建立灵活性,以及他们面临的法律障碍。合同或合同条款是含糊不清的,如果当事人选择的词语没有真正说明当事人被要求做什么以及他们是否已经做了什么。如果合同未能处理一个如此重要的问题,以至于没有达成协议就无法进行交易,那么合同就是不完整的。含糊不清和不完整的后果是使条款或合同在法律上无效。模糊性和不完全性通常被认为与合同中的确定性要求密切相关,这种要求出现在合同法的许多不同领域。本章首先讨论确定性和复杂的交易,以及模糊性和开放式条款,然后再讨论不完备性和约定。

9. Flexible terms
This chapter considers how parties try to build flexibility into their contracts, along with the legal hurdles they face. A contract, or contractual clause, is vague if the words the parties have chosen give no real way of deciding what the parties are required to do and whether they have done it. A contract is incomplete if it fails to deal with a matter which is so fundamental that the transaction cannot be performed without agreement being reached on it. The effect of vagueness and incompleteness is to render the clause or contract void in law. Vagueness and incompleteness are often said to be closely related to the requirement of certainty in contracting, which crops up in a number of different areas of contract law. This chapter first discusses certainty and the complex transaction, along with vagueness and open-ended clauses, before turning to incompleteness and agreements to agree.
