This is the first paper in a series to study vertex algebra-like objects arising from infinite-dimensional quantum groups (quantum affine algebras and Yangians). In this paper we lay the foundations for this study. For any vector spaceW, we study what we call quasi compatible subsets of Hom (W,W((x))) and we prove that any maximal quasi compatible subspace has a natural nonlocal (namely noncommutative) vertex algebra structure withWas a natural faithful quasi module in a certain sense, and that any quasi compatible subset generates a nonlocal vertex algebra withWas a quasi module. In particular, takingWto be a highest weight module for a quantum affine algebra we obtain a nonlocal vertex algebra withWas a quasi module. We also formulate and study a notion of quantum vertex algebra and we give general constructions of nonlocal vertex algebras, quantum vertex algebras and their modules.
