Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) 谅解备忘录 vs Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) 协议备忘录

小功课,看看这两种备忘录有什么区别,这里想知道的是
  1. 签了备忘录后下一步是什么?
  2. 什么情况下备忘录会无效?
  3. 备忘录可以被“违约”吗?
  4. “违约”的后果是怎样?
Google 上对这两种备忘录有很多不同的答案,而我对马来西亚的合约/备忘录律法一点都不通,想到的是就直接拿Bursa的公告查查看吧。

结论

虽然example有点少(因为很难找),可是可以看到 MoU 和 MoA 还是有区别的。主要还是要详细阅读里边提到的条例。

MoU 就是名副其实的备忘录,就是告诉大家本公司已经和谁谁开始有交谈,而且我们已经有一个大概的方向,我们会继续详谈然后再正式签合约。

MoA 虽然也是备忘录,可是里边已经列出目标和条例了,大多数已经协议好,不需要再进一步详谈,也不需再签另一份合约。而有效期就是签MoA的时间,也就是即时马上开工了。


如果在座有大马律师,请不要客气指点指点!
