The States Parties to the present Convention,

Have agreed upon the following provisions -

Article 1

This Convention determines the law applicable to contracts of sale of goods -
a) between parties having their places of business in different States;
b) in all other cases involving a choice between the laws of different States, unless such a choice arises solely from a stipulation by the parties as to the applicable law, even if accompanied by a choice of court or arbitration.

Article 2

The Convention does not apply to -
a) sales by way of execution or otherwise by authority of law;
b) sales of stocks, shares, investment securities, negotiable instruments or money; it does, however, apply to the sale of goods based on documents;
c) sales of goods bought for personal, family or household use; it does, however, apply if the seller at the time of the conclusion of the contract neither knew nor ought to have known that the goods were bought for any such use.

For the purposes of the Convention, "goods" includes -
a) ships, vessels, boats, hovercraft and aircraft;

(2) Contracts in which the preponderant part of the obligations of the party who furnishes goods consists of the supply of labour or other services are not to be considered contracts of sale.

Article 5

The Convention does not determine the law applicable to -
a) the capacity of the parties or the consequences of nullity or invalidity of the contract resulting from the incapacity of a party;
b) the question whether an agent is able to bind a principal, or an organ to bind a company or body corporate or unincorporate;
c) the transfer of ownership; nevertheless, the issues specifically mentioned in Article 12 are governed by the law applicable to the contract under the Convention;
d) the effect of the sale in respect of any person other than the parties;
e) agreements on arbitration or on choice of court, even if such an agreement is embodied in the contract of sale.
