Features: The General Contract Law is the fundamental law of the market economy and an important part of civil and commercial law. The contracts regulated by the Contract Law are closely related to people's production and daily life and are an indispensable legal means in their production and life. The daily livelihood of the public, the production and operation of legal persons, the technological progress of a country, the increase of social wealth, and international economic exchanges all depend on the Contract Law. The Contract Law plays an irreplaceable role in regulating market entities and their economic behavior, maintaining market order, and promoting economic development. To gradually establish a socialist market economy in our country, it is necessary to have a comprehensive, advanced in terms of systems, and well-structured Contract Law. This book is compiled according to the structure of China's Contract Law, dividing it into General Provisions and Specific Provisions. The General Provisions discuss an overview of contracts and the Contract Law, the formation of contracts, the validity of contracts, the performance of contracts, the guarantee of contracts, the variation and transfer of contracts, the termination of contractual rights and obligations, liability for breach of contract, and the interpretation of contracts. The Specific Provisions provide detailed discussions on the seventeen types of contracts stipulated in China's Contract Law.
