The subject of this master's thesis is a description of the legal regulation of an international sales contract, with an emphasis on the risk of non-performance. First, the general regulation of the international sales contract, which is the most common contract in international transactions, is presented; then follows the presentation of the legal acts and rules governing the contract, as well as what is its subject, what are the mandatory components, which ones are optional and who are the parties of this contract. With regards to the international sales contract, special attention is paid to the Vienna Convention, which represents the unification of rules on the sale of goods on international level, provided that the sale falls within the scope of the Convention and that the parties, to which it applies, didn't exclude its use. Furthermore, the third chapter describes the legal regulation of the seller's position, his obligations in relation to the performance of an international contract of sale, the breaches which he may commit in connection with the performance and the claims which the buyer may make to secure his position. In a similar sense, the fourth chapter describes the legal regulation of the buyers' position, his obligations, the breaches he may commit and the claims which the seller may make. The intention of this master's thesis is also to recognize how to design and insure international sales, so that it is as definite and insured as possible, and thus the international sales contract is optimally designed. For the latter reason, the master's thesis is also intended to highlight all the important aspects of an international sales contract and what it should contain, in order to avoid, as much as possible, the inconvenience caused by the failure of the parties to fulfill the obligations of the contract. There is also the presentation of case laws, which offer original solutions in case of non-performance of obligations arising from an international sales contract.
