MAKE YOUR FREE Sales agreement

A sales agreement (often also referred to as a 'sale of goods agreement') is a contract between two parties that contains a description of what is being bought and the price. It covers the sale of goods that are owned by the seller, the description of what is to be bought, and the price, including delivery and return fees.

Ensure that your sale of goods and services are recorded in a formal, legally binding contract. This sale of goods contract will help protect both parties by keeping a record of the details included in the sale. All the relevant information required when a transfer of goods and services are being exchanged are stated here, covering the warranty and limitation of liability.

Use this sales agreement when you:

• are supplying goods with or without complementary services
• are supplying to businesses
• are supplying goods to specification or standard goods
• want a formal agreement rather than terms and conditions

This document should be used when you are supplying goods to a business. If you want to sell personal goods use the Sale of personal goods contract.

This sales contract covers:

• supply and contract formation
• price and description of goods
• delivery
• any warranty
• limitation of liability to a non-consumer

A sale of goods agreement will help to protect both parties by setting out the terms of your agreement, including remedies if one of the parties breaches their obligations.

Ask a lawyer:

• if you are unsure whether you need to use this agreement
• for goods where there is a focus on intellectual property

Where you are selling to consumers, see our Terms and conditions for sale of goods to consumers.

This sale of goods agreement is governed by the law of England and Wales or the law of Scotland.
