违反合同规定怎么处理How to handle violations of contract provisions

  公司之间难免是有一些业务往来的,双方在进行合作的时候一定要签订合同,里面要约定很多事情的,比如合同金额、付款方式、合同的履行方式等,那么违反合同规定怎么处理?

  一、违反合同规定怎么处理

  可以根据合同约定和你们的利益选择不同的方式寻求救济:

  (一)如果合同继续履行对你们不利,你们可以选择解除合同,要求对方承担违约责任。退还双倍定金、赔偿损失、支付违约金等。

  (二)如果合同继续履行对你们有利,你们可以选择要求对方继续履行,并同时赔偿损失、支付违约金等。(但是,继续履行合同不能要求定金罚则,因为,定金罚则是专门针对不履行行为而适用的)。

  二、构成双方违约应该满足哪些条件

  根据相关法律的规定,构成双方违约应该满足下列条件:

  (一)双方当事人依据法律和合同规定,必须履行一定的义务,可见双方违约通常适用与双务合同,对于单务合同来说,仅仅只有一方当事人负有义务,因此,一般不会出现双方违约的问题。

  (二)当事人双方而不是一方违背了其负有的合同义务。也就是说,双方当事人都分别的违反了合同规定,如果仅有一方违反合同义务,只构成一方违约。

  (三)双方当事人违背了合同规定的义务。

  (四)双方均无正当理由,如果一方式形势同时履行抗辩权或不安抗辩权,则不能认为是双方违约。如果当事人就对方违约后,采取适当的自我补救措施,如在对方拒不收货时,将标的物转卖等,不能认为是违约。

  三、合同违约金的计算方法是什么

  如果合同双方对违约金有约定,按照合同约定处理。合同法规定当事人可以约定一方违约时应当根据违约情况向对方支付一定数额的违约金,也可以约定因违约产生的损失赔偿额的计算方法。

  约定的违约金低于造成的损失的,当事人可以请求人民法院或者仲裁机构予以增加;约定的违约金过分高于造成的损失的,当事人可以请求人民法院或者仲裁机构予以适当减少。当事人就迟延履行约定违约金的,违约方支付违约金后,还应当履行债务。

  合同一经签订,那就代表具有了法律效力,所以要是没有什么特殊的情况的话,双方都要按照合同上约定的条款去做,最好不要违约,避免承担违约责任。


There are inevitably some business transactions between companies, and when cooperating, both parties must sign a contract that specifies many things, such as the contract amount, payment method, and performance method. So, what should be done if there is a violation of the contract provisions?


1、 How to handle violations of contract provisions

You can choose different ways to seek relief based on the contract agreement and your interests:

(1) If the continued performance of the contract is detrimental to you, you may choose to terminate the contract and demand that the other party bear the liability for breach of contract. Refund double deposit, compensate for losses, pay liquidated damages, etc.

(2) If the continued performance of the contract is beneficial to you, you may choose to demand that the other party continue to perform and compensate for losses, pay liquidated damages, etc. at the same time. (However, continuing to perform the contract cannot require a deposit penalty, as the deposit penalty is specifically applicable to non performance.).


2、 What conditions should be met to constitute a breach of contract by both parties

According to relevant laws and regulations, the following conditions should be met to constitute a breach by both parties:

(1) According to the law and contractual provisions, both parties must fulfill certain obligations. It can be seen that breach of contract by both parties usually applies to bilateral contracts. For a single contract, only one party has obligations, so there is generally no problem of breach by both parties.

(2) Both parties, rather than one, have breached their contractual obligations. That is to say, both parties have violated the contractual provisions separately. If only one party violates the contractual obligations, it only constitutes a breach of contract by one party.

(3) Both parties have violated their obligations under the contract.

(4) Both parties have no legitimate reasons. If both parties exercise the right to defense or the right to uneasy defense, it cannot be considered a breach of contract by both parties. If the parties take appropriate self remedial measures after the other party breaches the contract, such as reselling the subject matter when the other party refuses to accept the goods, it cannot be considered a breach of contract.


3、 What is the calculation method for contract penalty for breach of contract

If there is an agreement between the two parties on the penalty for breach of contract, it shall be handled in accordance with the contract. The Contract Law stipulates that the parties may agree that when one party breaches the contract, they shall pay a certain amount of liquidated damages to the other party based on the circumstances of the breach, and may also agree on the calculation method for the amount of compensation for losses incurred due to the breach.


If the agreed penalty for breach of contract is lower than the loss caused, the parties may request the people's court or arbitration institution to increase it; If the agreed penalty for breach of contract is excessively higher than the resulting losses, the parties may request the people's court or arbitration institution to reduce it appropriately. If the parties agree on a penalty for delayed performance, the defaulting party shall also perform the debt after paying the penalty.


Once a contract is signed, it means it has legal effect. Therefore, unless there are any special circumstances, both parties should follow the terms agreed upon in the contract, and it is best not to breach the contract to avoid bearing liability for breach of contract.
