第十九节 代理人条款
GENCON A14 14. Agency In every case the Owners shall appoint their own Agent both at the port of loading and the port of discharge. ·装卸港代理有船东指定,除非有其他合同条款。 ·指定不等于它就是委托人。 ·船东指定的代理忠诚船东。
【案例】
·A(船东)-V/C-B(租方)-V/C-C(卖方)
·合同约定租方指定代理,但代理代表船东签发提单。 ·代理与卖方签倒签提单。
·船到港发生问题,收货人找船东。 ·船东是实际承运人,先赔偿。
·船东再找租家,租家说自己不是承运人,是代理签发的,且代理代表船东签发倒签提单,应当找代理。
代理早已消失无踪。 ·船东风险极大。
·因此船东要牢牢把握指定权。
【Protective agent】
- 47 -
租方坚持说自己代理,船东自己再去委托一家代理,但主要代理工作还是由租方指定的代理工作,船方自己指定的代理只是做监督作用。
第二十节 佣金条款
GENCON A15 15. Brokerage A brokerage commission at the rate stated in Box 24 on the freight, dead-freight and demurrage earned is due to the party mentioned in Box 24. In case of non-execution 1/3 of the brokerage on the estimated amount of freight to be paid by the party responsible for such non-execution to the Brokers as indemnity for the latter's expenses and work. In case of more voyages the amount of indemnity to be agreed. ·A15(2)如果合同签订以后由于某方的违约和合同没有执行,违约方应当承担经纪人的1/3费用。
【问题】若经纪人不付费,经纪人是否能告船东?
·经纪人合同狭义上时居间合同,实际上还身兼行间代理和委托合同。 ·实务中经纪人很少会找船东要钱,留个人情。
·若租约合同约定船东给经纪人付费,没付租方的经纪人,租方经纪人可否告船东? ·英国法可以:Contract (Right to 3rd party) Act 1999,第三方若在合同中受益,则第三方视为合同的当事人。
·中国法:《合》A64——债务人应向第三人履行债务而没没有履行,应当向债权人承担违约责任。——若租方的经纪人没有拿到佣金,则只能由租方出面。 ·FONASBA 英国代理人协会:international broker's commission contract ·ASBA美国代理人协会
