Document background
The Personal Property Purchase Agreement is essential for documenting the sale of movable goods in Switzerland, whether in business-to-business or business-to-consumer contexts. This document type is specifically designed to comply with Swiss legal requirements, particularly those set forth in the Swiss Civil Code (ZGB) and Code of Obligations (OR). It is commonly used when transferring ownership of valuable personal property such as equipment, vehicles, art, or other movable assets. The agreement provides comprehensive coverage of key aspects including property description, price, payment terms, delivery arrangements, warranties, and dispute resolution mechanisms. It serves as both a legal record of the transaction and a practical guide for implementing the sale process, incorporating necessary protections for both parties while ensuring compliance with Swiss contract law principles.
