If CISG applies to a particular contractual issue, domestic law is preempted, which means that the remedies provided in CISG are the only remedies available. This is stated in Article 6 of the convention, "The parties may exclude the application of this Convention or, subject to article 12, derogate from or vary the effect of any of its provisions.
