| Obligation [obl] | An expression of the commitment which the Parties have to engage in a commercial transaction. | |
| Parties [pars] | The group of individuals portrayed as equally involved in having a commercial agreement. | |
| Party_1 [par1] Semantic Type Sentient | The individual or individuals that form the more prominent (i.e. agentive) party of the commercial agreement, as compared with Party_2. That is, Party_1 is generally encoded as the External Argument of verbs, and peripheral FEs that do not make reference to the event itself generally make reference to Party_1. Thus manner expressions are construed to apply to Party_1, not necessarily to Party_2 or the group of Parties as a whole. | |
| Party_2 [par2] Semantic Type Sentient | The semantically (and grammatically) less prominent participant (or group of participants) in the agreement. It is generally encoded within a prepositional phrase (e.g. headed by with). | |
| Topic [top] | Topic is a description of the domain covered by the commercial agreement. | |
Non-Core: | ||

| The parties have a written AGREEMENT to arbitrate disputes arising in connection with the contract. | ||
| Place [pla] Semantic Type Locative_relation | This FE identifies the Place where an agreement was made. | |
