2.1 General Drafting Notes                                                                                                                                                      
This template has been drafted in contemplation of a distribution arrangement with the following characteristics (and thus may not be appropriate in this form without applicable substantive modifications for transactions with different characteristics):
本经销合同范本是基于以下情况起草(因此,对于存在其他情况的交易而言,可能须要对本范本进行较大幅度修改才适用):                                  
(a) The Supplier is a foreign manufacturer.
(a) 供货方为外国设备制造商;                                                                                                                                                   
(b) The Distributor is a domestic Chinese legal person with import-export trade and distribution authority (so no separate import-export company is required to be a party hereto).
 (b) 经销商具有相应的进出口及经销权;                                                                                                                            
(c) This is a buy-sell distribution arrangement under which Distributor purchases and takes title to the Product and then resells the Products to end customers or second-tier distributors (if permitted) without adding value to the Products. (Thus, this is not a sales agency, franchise, component supply, value-added reseller, systems integration or other similar arrangement.)
 (c) 本合同项下买方从卖方取得货物的所有权并进行转售(因此,本合同对于销售代理、连锁经营、部件供应或系统集成交易不适用);
(d) The Products do not include software.
(d) 产品不包含软件;                                                                                                                                                   
(e) The Products require no installation.
(e) 产品无须安装调试服务;                                                                                                                                                       
(f) It is assumed that the Distributor can and will provide repair services.
(f) 经销商有能力并且将负责提供维修服务;                                                                                                                                             
(g) The Supplier is to provide Standard Conditions of Sale (Annex 2).
(g) 供货方将提供其标准销售条款作为附件(附件二);                                                                                                                                             
(h) The user is acting for the Supplier (and thus this template is drafted in a manner favorable to the Supplier).
 (h) 合同是由供货方律师起草,着重于保护供货方利益。                                                                                                                                       
2.2 Specific Drafting Notes
注意事项与说明的英文版中有针对某些具体条款作出的注解。                                                                                                                                               
Where the provisions of the distribution agreement are self-explanatory, no supplemental comments are provided below. References to section numbers are to the relevant Article numbers of the Distribution Contract.                                                                                                                           
Article Specific Drafting Notes                                                                                                                                                       
1 The definitions set out in Schedule A can be moved to this Article 1 if the Parties so agree.                                                                                                                                              
18.2 Two alternative arbitration provisions are presented in this template for consideration, one for onshore CIETAC Rules arbitration, one for offshore SIAC Rules arbitration in Singapore. There are many other possibilities for international arbitration, such as ICC Singapore, Hong Kong HKIAC and so forth, depending on what is acceptable to the parties in question. CIETAC arbitration typically is not preferred by foreign investors for resolution of non-trade disputes, but is routinely proposed by Chinese parties as their preferred choice of arbitration venue. The suggested CIETAC arbitration provisions set out in the template are designed to ameliorate many of the more significant concerns most foreign parties have in relation to CIETAC arbitration, in this context., You would still need , to consider whether the enforcement of any CIETAC award could be refused on the grounds set out in Article 260 of the Civil Procedure Law.
Neutral third-country arbitration is permitted and is the preferred option in most major cross-border contracts. Such international arbitration awards if made in a New York Convention member state are in principle enforceable in China under the New York Convention (to which China is a party), subject to matters on which China expressed a reservation when joining the New York Convention and/or grounds on which enforcement can be denied under the New York Convention itself, notably where enforcement would go against public policy. In addition to third-country arbitration in Singapore, international arbitration in Hong Kong (enforceable in China under separate rules) and (historically) Stockholm have been common for Sino-foreign joint venture contracts, and apart from CIETAC Rules arbitration, most arbitration provisions usually contemplate Singapore, Stockholm and Hong Kong as the place of arbitration. The appropriate arbitration provisions for other arbitration venues should be determined in accordance with the applicable laws and rules. Where cost is a major factor or the contract value is relatively small, or where multiple parties are involved, consider appointing only one arbitrator and revising the clause accordingly (care needs to be taken as having one arbitrator as opposed to three raises its own issues). Note that in order to satisfy the Chinese legal requirements for an arbitration agreement under the PRC Arbitration Law, three elements must be present:
(a) an intention to arbitrate (problems may arise in practice where you have split clauses which allow either court based proceedings or arbitration proceedings);                                                                                                                                     
(b) the matters subject to arbitration; and                                                                                                                                                       
(c) a named arbitration institution (China does not generally recognise ad hoc, non-institutional arbitrations).                                                                                                                                             
19.4 This clause is applicable only if this template is intended to be used as a standard form by the Supplier.                                                                                                                                             
Annex 2 The Supplier's standard conditions of sale should be inserted here following modification to conform to local law and practice.
