Summary

This chapter explores two key concepts in contract law. First, it identifies the parties to a contract and the rules that help in that process. In particular, the doctrines of privity and agency, which assist with determining who incurs rights and obligations under a contract, are discussed. Second, the chapter considers the terms of a contract, including how to identify, incorporate and interpret them. Specific attention is paid to the various types of contract terms and how they should be interpreted.

Summary

The legal literature relating to venture capital (VC) investments has largely been compiled in the context of the United States (the US). Existing scholarship has generally dealt with the various methods through which VC contracts address the agency problems inherent in the VC cycle and the specific contractual terms invented to that end in the US. In contrast, there has scarcely been any legal literature concerning VC investment in China to date, making it difficult for practitioners and academics alike to navigate and theorise VC contracting in the Chinese context.
