契約書の記載に関しまして

Question

契約書を書いてみたのですが、法律の専門家でもなく英語の契約書の決まりごとにも疎いものですから下のような英文で良いものか否か判然としません。どなたか詳しい方、訂正すべきことや、追加すべきことなどございましたら、教えてください。

Company A and Company B will have a sales agreement for 18 months. For this period, Company B will neither sell its products nor give any agreement to any competing companies who sell or will sell the product to Japan.

The sales agreement will be effective from 25th of February in year 2012 to 24th of August in year 2013 for the first period.

In return, Company A will try to sell 1000 units of products manufactured by Company B for this period.

In case Company A fails to satisfy this agreement, Company B will decide either to continue this agreement or not to. However, after the termination of this agreement, Company A will be able to buy the products so that the users of Company B's products will have service from Company A after their purchase. The penalty for Company A is to lose its exclusive selling right here in Japan.

In case Company A satisfies the agreement, this agreement will be automatically extended for another one year and the following years to come in the same way.

The penalty for Company B will be determined by the outcome of breach of the agreement by Company B

In case a dispute arises and there is no satisfactory result after using every conceivable mean to settle, appealing the court ruling will be done under the jurisdiction of Shibuya Tokyo Japan.

If either side of the parties wants to terminate the agreement, a written word should be handed to the other for further discussion and will be settled by mutual consent.

Both parties give a signature to express that the aforementioned words are holding us to follow and should be respected by the parties.

Company Name: Company B
Company Address:
Name of CEO

Company Name: Company A

契約書には雛形があるのでそれに従って書くのが良いと思いますよ。貴兄のケースは売買契約のついでに販売独占契約を取り込もうとしているからむずかしくなる。二つの雛形を一つに纏めるとなれば専門家でもてこずるはずです。ならば、どちらの契約が優先されるべきなのかを考えて、それにAddendum を付け加えれば簡単になるはずです。当然、売買契約がベースとなるはずです。ならば、一般的な売買契約の雛形を利用して、下記のようにdraftを作成する。

契約書としては、まだいろいろ書き加えることがあると思います。製品や価格や、市場環境、製品の質（製品に欠陥がある場合など、当然目標は達成できないわけですし）、やはり、本来なら司法書士に書かせるべきでしょう。一応、書きなおしてみましたが、18ヶ月後、自動継続とはいうものの、その時点でのquotaは1000台なのかなど書き漏れている点が多く、完全な形にはできません。

Company A (herein called "A") and Company B (herein called "B") will enter into an exclusive selling agreement for a period of 18 months, beginning on February 25, 2012 and ending on August 25, 2013.

As long as A satisfies the quota, this agreement will automatically be extended for another year.

In the event A fails to satisfy the quota, B will have an option to either renew  or terminate this agreement, provided that in either case A will be able to continue purchasing the products from B in order to service its customers. A will only lose the exclusive selling rights to sell the products.

This agreement can only be terminated prior to the termination date by a mutual consent.

Should a dispute arises with regard to the condition(s) of this agreement, both parties promises to use every available means to settle the differences.
