Article 4 Credits v. Contracts

第四条

信用证与合同

3

a. A credit by its nature is a separate transaction from the sale or other contract on which it

may be based. Banks are in no way concerned with or bound by such contract, even if any

reference

whatsoever to it is included in

the

credit. Consequently, the

undertaking

of a

bank to honour, to negotiate or to fulfil any other obligation under the credit is not subject

to claims or defences by the applicant resulting from its relationships with the issuing bank

or the beneficiary.

A beneficiary can in no case avail itself of the contractual relationships existing between

banks or between the applicant and the issuing bank.

a.

就性质而言，信用证与可能作 为其依据的销售合同或其它合同，是相互独立的交易。即

使信用证中提及该合同，银行亦 与该合同完全无关，且不受其约束。因此，一家银行作出兑

付、

议付或履行信用证项下其它义务的承诺，

并不受申请人与开证行之间或与受益人之间在< /p>

已有关系下产生的索偿或抗辩的制约。

受益人在任何情况下，不得利用银行之间或申请人与开证行之间的契约关系。

b.

An

issuing

bank

should

discourage

any

attempt

by

the

applicant

to

include,

as

an

integral part of the credit, copies of the underlying contract, proforma invoice and the like.

b.

开证行应劝阻申 请人将基础合同、形式发票或其它类似文件的副本作为信用证整体组成

部分的作法。

Article 5 Documents v. Goods, Services or Performance

第五条

单据与货物／服务／行为

Banks

deal

with

documents

and

not

with

提示单据的有效期限。

place for presentation under a credit available with any bank is that of any bank. A place

for presentation other than that of the issuing bank is in addition to the place of the issuing

4
