小Anna:信用证附加条款有陷阱?
各位好,请帮忙看看这条是不是软条款呢?
47A:
if we give notice of refusal of documents presented with discrepancies under this credit, we shalll retain the right to accept a waiver of discrepancies from the applicant and we'll release the documents to lc applicant against their acceptance/payment without further reference to you unless your instructions to the contrary is received by us prior to such acceptance/payment.
如果LC单据有不符点我们给予拒付通知,我们将保留接受申请人放弃不符点的权利,并在申请人接受或者付款后放单给申请人,并无书面通知,除非?
放单给申请人是否必须付款后?acceptance/payment怎么理解?
unless your instructions to the contrary is received by us prior to such acceptance/payment.是什么意思?
小Anna:顶一下自己,望各位帮忙分析一下哦,不书面通知就放给申请人这点感觉怪怪的。
创华贸易:您好,unless your instructions to the contrary is received by us prior to such acceptance/payment 意思是,除非在放单给申请人之前收到受益人的相反指示(比如要求退单)。
acceptance/payment里的acceptance是接受不符点的意思,payment是付款的意思。因为如果是远期信用证,申请人是到期付款的,而不是马上付款的, 所以就不可能是付款了才赎单,而是先赎单,然后到期付款。
以上条款都是正常条款, 且有国际惯例支持的:
Article 16 Discrepant Documents, Waiver and Notice
第十六条 不符单据及不符点的放弃与通知
c. When nominated bank acting on its nomination, a confirming bank, if any, or the issuing bank decides to refuse to honor or negotiate, it must give a single notice to that effect to the presenter.
c. 当按照指定行事的被指定银行、保兑行(如有)或开证行决定拒绝兑付或议付时,必须一次性通知提示人。
The notice must state:
通知必须声明:
I. that the bank is refusing to honor or negotiate; and
I. 银行拒绝兑付或议付;及
ii. Each discrepancy in respect of which the bank refuses to honor or negotiate; and
ii. 银行凭以拒绝兑付或议付的各个不符点;及
iii. a) that the bank is holding the documents pending further instructions from the presenter; or
iii. a) 银行持有单据等候提示人进一步指示;或
b) that the issuing bank is holding the documents until it receives a waiver from the applicant and agrees to accept it, or receives further instructions from the presenter prior to agreeing to accept a waiver; or
b) 开证行持有单据直至收到申请人通知弃权并同意接受该弃权,或在同意接受弃权前从提示人处收到进一步指示;或
c) that the bank is returning the documents; or
c) 银行退回单据;或
d) That the bank is acting in accordance with instructions previously received from the presenter.
d) 银行按照先前从提示人处收到的指示行事。
洗脚水泡茶:还是三楼专业,理解上还是有差异。
小Anna:
非常感谢,解释的很透彻了幸会!
洗脚水泡茶:类似条款如下:
IF DOCUMENTS PRESENTED UNDER THIS L/C ARE FOUND TO BE DISCREPANT, WE SHALL GIVE ITS NOTICE OF REFUSAL AND SHALL HOLD
DOCUMENTS AT YOUR DISPOSAL SUBJECT TO THE FOLLOWING CONDITION:
IF WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED YOUR DISPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE DISCREPANT DOCUMENTS PRIOR TO RECEIPT OF THE APPLICANT'S
WAIVER OF DISCREPANCIES, WE SHALL RELEASE THE DOCUMENTS TO THE APPLICANT WITHOUT NOTICE TO YOU.
小Anna:
另外请教一下,没有规定NOTIFY PARTY的信用证没问题吧?是否直接跟客户核实NOTIFY显示谁就可以了?
