　　请问违约金法律是如何规定的？合同违约金的法律规定「干货」

　　据和记百科网站「青栀如初」消息，近日，请问违约金法律是如何规定的？合同违约金的法律规定「干货」引发热议，合同违约金的法律规定同样引起许多争议，对此众网友各抒己见。但到底是怎么回事呢？和记百科为您解答。

　　

违约金法律是如何规定的

 

　　违约金法律的规定是指按照当事人的约定或者法律直接规定，一方当事人违约的应向另一方支付的金钱。违约金的数额一般不超过标的数额的20%，也可以双方协商约定，造成的损害较大时违约金可以适当上浮，违约金过分高于实际损失时，可以请求人民法院予以适当减少。

　　

引用法规：

《民法典》第五百七十八条

 

　　当事人一方明确表示或者以自己的行为表明不履行合同义务的，对方可以在履行期限届满前请求其承担违约责任。

　　

第五百八十五条

 

　　当事人可以约定一方违约时应当根据违约情况向对方支付一定数额的违约金，也可以约定因违约产生的损失赔偿额的计算方法。约定的违约金低于造成的损失的，人民法院或者仲裁机构可以根据当事人的请求予以增加；约定的违约金过分高于造成的损失的，人民法院或者仲裁机构可以根据当事人的请求予以适当减少。当事人就迟延履行约定违约金的，违约方支付违约金后，还应当履行债务。

　　

合同违约金的法律规定

 

　　合同是保障交易双方权益的重要依据，在合同约定的期限内，双方必须履行自己的责任。如果一方违约，就需要承担违约责任，其中合同违约金就是一种常见的形式。

　　合同违约金是在合同中约定的一种罚金，主要是为了约束合同当事人在合同执行过程中遵守双方约定的条款。如果一方违反了合同约定，就需要承担相应的违约金责任。

　　在我国，关于合同违约金的法律规定是明确的。根据《中华人民共和国合同法》的规定，在合同中约定的违约金不得超过违约方应当履行的债务数额的百分之二十。如果违约金超过了这个比例，法院也会认定其为无效条款。

　　同时，《合同法》也规定了另外一个重要的原则，即“约定的违约金不足以弥补损失的，损失方有权要求补足损失。”也就是说，如果违约金低于实际损失，被违约方可以向违约方要求赔偿超出违约金的损失。

　　此外，在合同违约金的计算中，也需要注意是否存在“恶意约定”的情况。如果一方利用合同约定的违约金来牟取不正当利益，或者将合同违约金定得过高，都有可能被视为“恶意约定”，并被认定为无效条款。

　　

　　【英文介绍/For English】：

　　

　　The provisions of the law on liquidated damages refer to the money that one party should pay to the other party in the event of a breach of contract according to the agreement of the parties or the direct provisions of the law. The amount of liquidated damages generally does not exceed 20% of the amount of the subject matter. It can also be agreed by both parties through negotiation. When the damage caused is relatively large, the liquidated damages can be appropriately increased. When the liquidated damages are excessively higher than the actual losses, the people's court can be requested to be appropriately reduced.

　　

Citing regulations:

Article 578 of the Civil Code

 

　　If one party expressly or by its own behavior indicates that it will not perform its contractual obligations, the other party may request it to bear the liability for breach of contract before the expiration of the time limit for performance.

　　

Article 585

 

　　The parties may agree that when one party breaches the contract, it shall pay a certain amount of liquidated damages to the other party according to the breach of contract, and may also agree on the method for calculating the amount of compensation for losses arising from the breach of contract. If the agreed liquidated damages are lower than the losses caused, the people's court or arbitration institution may increase them at the request of the parties; if the agreed liquidated damages are excessively higher than the losses caused, the people's courts or arbitration institutions may appropriately reduce the damages at the request of the parties. If the parties agree on liquidated damages for delay in performance, the breaching party shall also perform the debt after paying the liquidated damages.
