Trong tiếng Anh, hợp đồng nguyên tắc được gọi là Contract Principles

Trong tiếng Anh, hợp đồng nguyên tắc được dịch như sau: Contract principle is a contract that expresses an agreement between the parties on principles when buying and selling goods, or principles in the provision of a service. Unlike an economic contract, a principal contract is only a guide, helping the parties to sign a formal economic contract or sign annexes. Contract principles can be used in any field such as civil, business, commercial …

Contract principles also have many different names, mainly based on the field in which the parties transact, such as signed principle contracts, and agent principle contracts. The parties can use principled contracts to settle disputes that occur, but the level of favorable settlement is often not high due to the lack of specific provisions on the rights and obligations of the parties such as economic contracts.
