The international sales contract is one of the most important and frequently used legal instruments in the area of international business relations. Despite its functional stability, it is subject of continuous interest of legal theory and practice through which the questions related to its legal regulation are tackled. Therefore, this thesis deals with international sales contract and the perspective of its legal regulation. Particularly, the aim of this thesis is to answer the question on how the regulation of international sales contract is developing with regard to the national and supranational law, especially the Act on international private law, the Vienna convention, the Rome I regulation and the CESL (Common European Sales Law). The thesis considers this question both from the entrepreneurs' and customers' point of view. Besides the general theoretical aspects of the international sales contract, the thesis also focuses on particular legal acts containing the most relevant regulation of international sales contract and the structure and framework of the thesis corresponds with this focus. The thesis is divided into five chapters, which are preceded by the introduction and followed by the conclusion. The core of the thesis is in chapter five, which analyzes partial aspects of current...

Komisija nurodo, kad tarp Valstybių narių egzistuojantys nacionaliniai sutarčių teisės skirtumai atgraso prekiautojus ir ypač MVĮ plėsti veiklą ir užsiimti prekybą kitose Valstybėse narėse, dėl ko kiekvienais metais ES vidaus rinkoje prarandama bent 26 mlrd. eurų. Atsižvelgiant į tai, kad Vienos konvencija nereglamentuoja tam tikrų pirkimo – pardavimo sutarčių teisės aspektų, be to Vienos konvencija gali būti taikoma ribotai, nes ją pasirašė ne visos Valstybės narės ir nėra vienodą jos aiškinimą užtikrinančio mechanizmo, Pasiūlymu siekiama sukurti 2 – ąjį sutarčių teisės režimą, kuris egzistuotų kiekvienos Valstybės narės nacionalinėje teisėje. BEPPST – naujas ir sudėtingas teisinis instrumentas, kurį rengiant neišvengta reikšmingos problematikos. BEPPST ir jo poreikio aplinkybes konstruktyviai kritikuoja tiek Valstybių narių institucijos ir organizacijos, tiek teisės mokslininkai. Lietuvoje šiuo klausimu kol kas nevyksta nei reikšmingos praktinės, nei mokslinės diskusijos. Dėl to šiame darbe atkreipiamas dėmesys ne tik į BEPPST, kaip teisinio instrumento problematiką, bet ir jį priimti paskatinusias aplinkybes bei su tuo susijusią problematiką. Pirmojoje šio darbo dalyje yra nurodoma Europos sutarčių teisės raida, jos poreikio aplinkybės ir siekiamas efektas, kurį turėtų sukurti tokia teisė. Pateikiama informacija, kuria remiantis ES institucijos daro prielaidą, kad egzistuoja poreikis parengti BEPPST. Egzistuojant abejonėms ar Komisijos pateikiama informacija yra...

Taking into consideration that the Vienna Convention does not regulate certain aspects in contracts of sales of goods, further limitations to its applicability arise as not all Member States have signed the Vienna Convention and there is no mechanism which could ensure its uniform interpretation, therefore it is intended with this Proposal to establish the 2nd contract law regime within the national law of each Member State. CESL is a new and complex legal instrument, which does not escape from material problems. CESL and circumstances of its demand in the interested society receives constructive criticism from Member States institutions, business organizations and legal scholars. In Lithuania, there is no meaningful practical or legal discussions regarding this issue. Therefore attention is being paid in this thesis not to only to the problems related with CESL as a legal instrument, but to the motives which encouraged to adopt this instrument and related problems thereof, as well. In the first part of this thesis, development of the European contract law, circumstances of demand and result to be achieved is identified. Information whereby EU institutions conclude assumption that there is a demand of interested society to... [to full text]

Ela tem permitido a realização do antigo sonho da computação tornar-se uma ‘utilidade’. Todavia, esta realidade apresenta riscos e desafios em diferentes áreas, sobretudo no âmbito legal, e nos contratos de consumo em particular. Assim, considerando a complexidade da computação em nuvem, torna-se essencial a busca de um menor grau de incerteza na relação fornecedor-consumidor. A presente pesquisa tem por objetivo analisar e caracterizar as transações de computação em nuvem, tanto nos contratos de serviço, como nos contratos de fornecimento de conteúdo digital. Para tanto, esta tese examinará legislações de natureza internacional e nacional, bem como contratos, que poderão ser utilizados na regulamentação das atividades em nuvem no Brasil. De início, será realizada uma apreciação crítica quanto à possibilidade de aplicação da legislação relativa a um "Direito Europeu Comum de Compra" - denominada na língua inglesa de “Common European Sales Law (CESL) - nos contratos de fornecimento de conteúdo digital realizados entre o Brasil e os Países Membros da União Européia. Em seguida, serão examinadas algumas regras gerais presentes no Código de Defesa do Consumidor brasileiro a fim de ser discutida a aplicabilidade do referido Código nos contratos de computação em nuvem. Por fim, serão estudados três contratos de computação em nuvem oferecidos pelo Google no Brasil com o objetivo de apontar os sérios riscos apresentados para os consumidores ao firmar tais acordos, bem como a adequação de tais instrumentos em face da legislação nacional. / The paradigm of cloud computing has been developing quickly and offers many new advantages to the information technology industry. It is turning the long-held dream of computing as a utility, into a reality. However, it also poses risks and challenges in different fields, especially in the legal area, that may affect the stakeholders of this market. Given the complexity of cloud computing, it is essential to assure that there is little uncertainty in the provider-consumer relationship. This research aims to analyse and characterise cloud computing transactions from a legal perspective, both as a service contract, and as a contract for the provision of digital content. Thus, in this thesis we examine international and national legislation, as well as contracts, which may govern the relationship between cloud stakeholders. Given the international and cross-border nature of the proposed Common European Sales Law (CESL), which may eventually be applied between Brazilian and European contracts, and due to the legal rules which it is based sharing some similarities to the civil law system in Brazil, we begin offering a critical view of the possibility of applying this proposal on a Common European Sales Law to some cloud computing transactions when they supply digital content. Next, we turn to examine whether the Brazilian Consumer Protection Code (CDC), with its existing general rules relating to ‘goods’ and ‘services’, and some other definitions, could be broad enough to cover the necessities of cloud consumers in Brazil. Lastly, we examine the issue of regulating cloud computing through contract. In particular, we identify a set of key legal issues to be considered by consumers when entering into a cloud contract. In order to illustrate their importance, we perform a detailed evaluation of some Google cloud-based agreements to check if they are compatible with existing laws in Brazil.
