Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The CISG will apply to an international sales contract if either both of the nations are parties to the United Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, or the contract specifies that the CISG controls. Therefore, option C is the correct answer. Option A and D are incorrect because they are too restrictive. Option B is incorrect because it suggests that the parties must have explicitly agreed to be bound by the CISG. Option E is incorrect because it is not true - the CISG is a treaty that applies to international sales contracts between parties from different countries if both countries have ratified the treaty or if the parties have agreed to be bound by the CISG.
