The court construed each provisional order as a binding agreement on the basis that the handwritten Chinese payment terms evidenced parties' intention to be bound, the operative second paragraph of clause 3 unambiguously permitted forfeiture for purchaser non-compliance, the parties effectively excluded the first paragraph of clause 3 by their handwritten insertions, and therefore the defendant was entitled to forfeit the deposits.
