合同的违约条款(DefaultClause)是当事人一方不履行合同义务的或者不按约定履行的,需要承担继续履行、采取补救措施或者赔偿损失等违约责任;或者按照当事人的约定承担支付违约金或定金等责任。
常见的违约条款通用模板:
IfaPartymateriallyfailstoperformanyofitsobligationsunderthisContractorofaParty’srepresentationorwarrantyunderthisContractismateriallyuntrueorinaccurate,thePartyshallbedeemedtohavebreachedtheContract.
如果一方实质上未履行其在本合同项下的任何义务,或一方在本合同项下爱的陈述或保证是不真实或不准确的,该方则应被视作违反了本合同。
承担违约责任的(补救)方式,主要有以下几种:
一、赔偿损失(Compensationfordamages):给另一方的财产损失予以补偿,其目的在于弥补违约时给受害方造成损失的合同利益。

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。
三、继续履行(Continuingtoperformobligations):当事人一方不履行合同义务或者履行合同义务不符合约定时,违约方不论是否已经承担赔偿损失或者违约金的责任,都必须根据对方的要求,并在能够履行的情况下,按照合同的约定继续履行合同义务。
ThepaymentofanypenaltybyPartyBaccordingtoXXshallnotreleasetheobligationofPartyBtocontinuethedeliveryofthetechnicaldocumentations.
根据本协议第XX条之规定,乙方违约金的支付不得解除其继续履行交付技术文件的义务。
四、解除和终止权(RightofTerminationandRescission):对于违约方的违约行为,受害方在不愿或不能再继续维持合同关系的情况下,可通知对方解除或提前终止合同。
