Sale of Goods Agreement

A Sale of Goods Agreement or Contract is an agreement entered between a seller and buyer for the sale of goods. The seller is the party that sells the goods or products underlying this agreement and the buyer is the party that intends to buy the goods offered for sale by the seller. Goods are identifiable and tangible properties or products that are offered for sale to the buyer.

This document can only be used for the sale of any tangible property other than real property (such as land and buildings). However, a Contract for the Sale of Real Property should be used for the sale of land or buildings.

The document outlines the names and addresses of the seller and buyer; a clear description of the good(s) sold; the purchase price; terms of payment for the goods; details of deposit to be made (if applicable); details about the delivery of the good(s) and refund or cancellation policy.

If either of the parties is a company, the common seal of the company should be affixed on the document and two directors or one director and one secretary should sign the document on the column provided for their signature in the document.
