A purchase and sale agreement is the basic document for any commercial transaction involving goods. Without it, or with a carelessly drafted agreement, the moment of ownership transfer, quality liability and payment procedure all become subjects of dispute rather than agreement.
What happens without a proper agreement
- Buyer refuses to pay citing non-conformity of goods
- Seller bears no liability for latent defects
- Dispute over when risk of accidental loss transfers
- Buyer cannot recover losses for delayed delivery
- Unclear who pays for shipping and insurance
- Quality claims have no deadline or procedure
