چکیده:
The conclusion of large contracts inevitably requires the allocation of very high costs and obtaining various legal, commercial, etc., consultations from consulting institutions, studies, and evaluation of all aspects of the contract. If an oil-rich country wants to assign an oil exploration project in oil-rich fields to a foreign contractor in the form of a product buyback agreement, the contractor's interest requires them to examine and ensure their commitment regarding the buyback of oil facility products as the price of the transaction. Pre-contractual negotiations refer to the discussions that two or more parties conduct in order to reach a final agreement and conclude the desired contract. In most cases, especially contractual negotiations in international transactions, these negotiations are written. Pre-contractual negotiation is a stage before the decision to conclude, which is actually the stage of assessing the performance of the transaction. Generally, statements made during the pre-contractual negotiation period do not create a binding obligation for the two parties of the contract by themselves; prior to the finalization and conclusion of the contract, the parties can change their minds about what they have said. One thing that must be considered is that all discussions that take place before the conclusion of the contract may not have equal value.
