英文合同中违约金罚金和损害损失赔偿金的条款

英文合同中违约金、罚金和损害/损失赔偿金的条款

一个完整的合同应当有违约责任条款，违约责任条款就有两个作用：一、督促作用，通过违约责任的的警示作用，督促合同当事人全面履行合同；二、弥补损失作用，在一方违约情况下，可以通过追究对方的违约责任，弥补损失。国际商务合同中违约一般不称违约金 而是称损害赔偿。违约金条款第一不要遗漏，第二要全面，第三幅度可以高,但不要太高，因为太高导致条款无效，等于让裁判庭自己决定。一般的损害赔偿方法可表述如下：(直接财产损失十可得利益损失十减损支付的费用)一(应该避免的损失十避免的成本或因违约损害而获取的收益十属于受害方自己过错造成的损失)=违约方应该支付的损害赔偿数额（≤受害方的实际损失）。
