　　NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, promises and representations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:

　　2.定義 Definition

　　在正文（Habendum）部分，通常第一章為定義（Definitions）部分。

　　定義條款即對合同中涉及的術(shù)語及名詞作出限定、解釋的條款。它可以散見于合同各個部分，但對于一些大型的、重要的合同，通常將其置于第一章。

　　I. 常見的定義語句常用mean, refer to, be construed as, include等來表達(dá)。如：

　　1. "Territory" means the United States of America.“銷售地區(qū)”是指美利堅(jiān)合眾國。

　　2. “Commencement date” shall mean the date of signing this agreement by the last signing party hereto.

　　“協(xié)議生效日”是指本“協(xié)議”最后簽字的一方簽署本“協(xié)議”的日期。

　　6. "Expenses" include costs, charges and expenses of every description. “費(fèi)用”包括各種形式的金錢支出。

　　II. 還有一類特殊的定義語句，即對于「單、復(fù)數(shù)」及「陰、陽性」名詞的范圍定義。通常都是用include來表達(dá)：

　　合同中的“股票”，包括單數(shù)與復(fù)數(shù)。

　　2. "He" includes "he" and "she".

　　合同中的“他”，包括“他”與“她”。

　　3. Words using the singular or plural number also include the plural or singular number.

　　采用單數(shù)或復(fù)數(shù)的單詞也包括復(fù)數(shù)或單數(shù)。

　　III. 定義語句中，有時需限定范圍。而通常用得最多的是：“for the purpose of ”及“in relation to”某概念的定義條款，如果適用范圍僅限于合同的“特定部份”，可以用“for the purpose of ”來為定義條款起頭。而如果定義條款是針對合同的“特定概念”，就用“in relation to”來界定。如下例：

　　1. For the purpose of this Agreement, "Products" means all types of the machineries manufactured by Manufacturer as are specified in Attachment
