1.soft clause:
Letter of credit (L/C) provision that gives complete control to the account party (the buyer) over the proceedings and makes the beneficiary powerless。
信用证中通过条款对另一方,也就是买方进行限制,使得受益人处于被动地位。
2.另一种英文定义:
Clauses in the documentary credit which make it impossible for the beneficiary (seller) to meet the conditions of the documentary credit on his own and independently of the purchaser.
好像不是很准确。
