I got 无规限承兑 or 无条件承兑, but it doesn't seem to fit the context. Thank you in advance!

Last Hermit: Thank you for your comment, but I don't care if the author is a qualified one or not. As a translator, I am supposed to translate, not to improve the original. On the other hand, I can see many people are also using the same pattern.
Last Hermit Jun 3, 2006:
That's what I understand. But the author is NOT a qualified one to write something like this. 'such product' must NOT be omitted. It is ABSOLUTELY NOT acceptable in legalese, not even in informal text.
ysun (asker) Jun 3, 2006:
I think the sentence should be understood as follows:
Purchaser's receipt of any product delivered hereunder shall be an unqualified acceptance of (such product) and a waiver by Purchaser of the right of Purchaser to make a claim with respect to such product.
Thank you all!
Last Hermit Jun 3, 2006:
Now, let's see what 《英汉法律词典·修订本》 has to say about 'unqualified': a. 1. 不合格的，不适宜的　2.无限制的，无条件的　3.绝对的，完全的
Last Hermit Jun 3, 2006:
完全接受 might sound better in this particular context.
Last Hermit Jun 3, 2006:
But nonetheless, the suggested meaning seems to be clear enough: 买家一旦接收下述之任何产品，即表示其无条件接受该产品，并放弃有关该产品的索偿权。
Last Hermit Jun 3, 2006:
Anything missing in your text? Acceptance of what? Accetance of the right to make a claim with respect to such product and a waiver by the buy of the right to make a claim with respect to such product?
wherestip Jun 3, 2006:
On second thought, "承兑" probably means "承认(交易已)兑现" in HK, so why not?
wherestip Jun 3, 2006:
No doubt Yueyin is only looking for the proper legal term in Chinese, which boils the question down to how to interpret "承兑". In other words, should it be changed to "接受" in this context? IMO probably.
Naikei Wong Jun 3, 2006:
The basic meaning of unqualified is "complete"; otherwise, the "official" rendition in HK is one you've already had: http://www.csb.gov.hk/hkgcsb/glossary/glossary_detail.php?vi...

要約接受

在法律上有這種說法：無條件、絕對、要約接受。

稱之為 "要約接受" 是因為接受的條件已約定在先，所以依據約定必須接受。
在你這個文本裡應該說得通吧？

不附条件的承兑

"acceptance" (承兑) means an acceptance completed by delivery or notification

不受制于这种终止条件的称为“绝对(absolute)”或“不附条件(unqualified)”的地产权。

无条件承兑 =不附条件承兑

Look! You need a GOOD and PROPER dictionary.

From NODE: without reservation or limitation; total: the experiment was not an unqualified success.

That means 全盘／无条件接受

In Hong Kong, it is translated as '无约制'. Check this out: http://www.legislation.gov.hk/glossary.nsf/b91ab7b398db4c214...

From OED:
3. Not modified, limited, or restricted.
1796 F. Burney Camilla I. 76 [He] could scarce refrain from a smile at this unqualified opening. 1857 Prescott Philip II, i. (1857) 145 His ardour did not precipitate him into any unqualified declaration of his passion. 1878 R. B. Smith Carthage 7 The unsparing and unqualified denunciations of Tyre and Sidon+in Joel and Amos.

Longman gives more details: [usually before noun] used for emphasizing that a quality is complete and total
The experiment had not been an unqualified success. He gave her his unqualified support.

None of these references indicates that this term is a legal one.

At ANSWERS, though, the Chinese translations do NOT give the definiton of 'unrestricted' as it is given in other languages.

无条件的接受（买卖合同）VS 无条件承兑（票据合同）

如果是买卖合同，应为“无条件的接受”，如果是票据合同，则为“无条件承兑”。在上述句子中，很大程度上是买卖合同，所以，应译为“无条件接受”为妥。
