Explanation:
This is actually the standrad short form. Yhere is no need to use all those words. Usually, in the US we capitalize the names of the the parties in legal contracts.
You can of course use the other formulation; it does convey the correct information, but we stopped usin this long form in our legal papers many years ago.

principal


Explanation:
Contractor is only correct if a Werksvertrag is involved. Principal is the more general term. Therefore, what term to use depends on the context. The word is mainly used in connection with construction.
