The sphere of application of an international agreement is determined by the agreement’s own precepts. According to article 1(1) of the 1980 Vienna Convention, this treaty applies to international contracts of sale of goods between parties whose commercial enterprises (i.e., principal places of business) are in different countries when a) the countries are Contracting States (i. e., parties to the 1980 Vienna Convention), or when b) the rules of private international law lead to the application of the law of a Contracting State.
