ICC Model Contracts and Clauses

ICC Model Contracts and Clauses provide businesses - from start-ups to SMEs to multinationals - with practical legal tools for international commercial activities, including sales, franchising, trademark licenses and more. These templates provide a sound legal basis upon which parties to international contracts can quickly establish an even-handed agreement acceptable to both sides.

Easy-to-use, drafted by legal experts from across ICC’s worldwide network, they provide balanced, neutral templates rich with guidance for use across legal jurisdictions. 

Unlike other models, ICC Models do not favour any industry sector, geography or category of parties (such as sellers or buyers). In case of dispute, ICC Models provide users flexibility in the innovative choice of either a particular national law or - where such option is not favoured - general principles of international commercial law.

The ICC Model Contracts and Clauses are designed for businesses looking for a balanced international template during negotiations. Featuring expert guidance notes, the models provide a solid foundation even for those who don’t have in-house legal support.
