信用证软条款性质
信用证软条款的设置是“有根有据”的。因为信用证项下付款是一种纯单据的买卖。《跟单信用证统一惯例》规定：“在信用证业务中，各有关方面处理的是单据，而不是与单据有关的货物、服务或其他行业。”银行虽有义务“合理小心地审核一切单据”，但这种审核，只是用以确定单据表面上是否符合信用证条款，开证银行只根据表面上符合信用证条款的单据付款。因此，银行对任何单据的形势、完整性、真实性以及伪造或法律效力，或单据上规定的或附加的一般或特殊条件概不负责。国外进口商巧妙地钻了这个空子，在实际运行中造成单单不一致，单证不相符，为拒不付款予出口商找了一个堂而皇之的理由。因此，信用证软条款又被称为“陷阱条款”。它太隐蔽，不易被发现，清楚地列在信用证条款之中，并不存在伪造或隐瞒的情况，因此又未构成欺诈。它的性质主要为两种：一是隐蔽性。二是复杂多样性。软条款的隐蔽性很大，形式多样，没有固定的模式，甚至还故意加上一些专业性表述，很难引起受益人的警觉。

Terms of the soft nature of the letter of credit
Soft terms of the letter of credit is set up, "Yougenyouju". Because under the letter of credit payment is a pure documentation of the sale. "The documentary credit reunification practices": "In the letter of credit operations, all parties concerned deal with the documentation, rather than with the documentation relating to goods, services or other sectors." Bank obligations despite "reasonable carefully examine all the documentation "However, this review is to determine whether the documents on the face of letters of credit terms, the issuing bank only on the surface meet the letter of credit in accordance with the provisions of the bill payment. Therefore, any documentation on the banks of the situation, integrity, authenticity and forgery or the force of law, or on documents provided or additional general or specific conditions will not be responsible for. Foreign importers cleverly drilling this loopholes in the actual operation of the inconsistencies alone, the documents do not match, for refusing to payments to exporters openly looking for a reason. Therefore, the soft terms of the letter of credit is also known as "trap clause." It is too subtle and not easily found, clearly listed in the letter of credit terms, there is no forgery or hide, and therefore did not constitute fraud. It is the nature of the two major: First hidden. Second, the complex diversity. Soft provisions of the concealed great diversity in form, not a fixed pattern, and even deliberately add some professional statements, it is difficult to cause the beneficiaries of alert.
