Sale of Goods Agreement

The Sale of Goods Agreement (Agreement) is a legal document used to specify the terms and conditions entered into between the Seller and the Buyer of the Goods. This Agreement can be used by either the Seller or Buyer to Buy or Sell any type of movable goods like furniture, electronics, building materials, etc.

For the purpose of selling any type of vehicle, we have a specific agreement named the Vehicle Sale Agreement on our website. Under that Agreement, specific conditions and details related to the vehicle can be included.

This Agreement cannot be used for the sale of immovable properties like buildings, lands, etc.

The Sale of Goods Agreement is different from that of the Supply Contract. Under the Supply Contract, both the supplier and buyer agree to purchase certain goods for a specific period for a fixed price and this may be an exclusive business relationship between the supplier and seller. Unlike the Sale of Goods Agreement is different from that of the Services Agreement. Under the Service Agreement, both the service provider and client agree to avail certain services from the service provider including construction services, consultancy services, BPO services, etc.
