Sales Contract is a legal document that shows the sale agreement between the buyer and the seller. It is the contract for the exchange of goods, services or property, that specifies the terms and conditions of a deal and transaction between the two parties. A Sales Contract will include the legal obligation and rights of each party to the Sales Contract and information regarding certain incidents that might come up in the future.
This article will discuss the key elements of a Sales Contract
Identification of the Parties:
The first step of writing a Sales Contract is to identify the parties involved, i.e. the buyer and the vendor. If the contract is between a person and a company and the physical transactions involve a representative of the business, then the sales representative of the particular company will assume the legal role of the seller for the purpose of the transaction records. The legal status of each individual involved in the transaction is outlined in writing along with any other relevant information such as the phone numbers and address of each party involved.
Description of the Transactions:
The Sales Contract will go on and specify the nature of the transaction and clearly describe the goods involved. The description of the goods is usually the most important part of a Sales Contract, so make sure it identifies the goods exactly the way the buyer wants to buy them. Make sure to include all the relevant information about the goods such as type, weight, color, size, model number, quantity, etc. This will ensure that the seller delivers the right goods to the buyer.
Unforeseen Events:
The Sales Contract will also include any other possibilities that the parties should want to agree to. These possibilities are the “what is” situations, and how the contract will deal with them by specifying what will be done in such situations. The contract should include a warrant as a way of addressing those situations. A product warrant gives details about what will happen in case the product fails to meet the buyer’s requirements. In most cases, buyers overlook the warranties made to them by the seller. This is important part of a Sales Contract because it shows what will happen in the event where one party violates the sales agreement.
Contract Status:
The Sales Contract will also specify the time limit for its control and the state of laws under which the contract is binding. The contract will also specify what level the sales agreement is binding and what alternatives each party has if the contract’s terms are violated. The sales will also include material procedures of altering the contract. These procedures will require each party to submit written letter of agreement to alter the contract. The final stage of the contact status will include a clause to state that the contract is the only binding force with regard to the transactions in the question. This will prevent either party from using the contract to acquire more transaction illegally.
