Составление контракта по праву считается наиболее сложной и ответ­ственной частью предпринимательской деятельности. Оттого, насколь­ко профессионально подготовлен контракт, будет зависеть его эффек­тивность. На практике используются различные виды контрактов, что определяется товаром, но большинство контрактов содержит вступи­тельную часть (полное название организации, ФИО и должность лица, подписывающего контракт) и базовые статьи:

• предмет контракта;

• цена;

• оплата;

• обязанности сторон.

• приемка товара;

• санкции;

• освобождение от ответственности;

• порядок урегулирования возможных споров;

• вступление контракта в силу;

• прочие условия;

• изменения и дополнения к контракту.

Статьи могут быть объединены или включены в контракт в ином порядке. Ниже приводится образец контракта на переводческие услуги.
