Document background
The Product Sales Contract serves as a fundamental legal instrument for businesses engaged in the sale of products in or from Switzerland. This document is essential when parties need to establish a clear legal framework for a sales transaction, whether for a single delivery or ongoing supply relationship. The contract must comply with Swiss law, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations (OR/CO), while potentially considering international trade regulations if applicable. It typically includes detailed provisions on product specifications, pricing, delivery terms, warranties, and liability, tailored to protect both parties' interests and ensure legal certainty. This type of agreement is particularly important for cross-border transactions where Swiss law has been chosen as the governing law, and can be adapted for both B2B and B2C relationships, though consumer protection regulations may require additional considerations in the latter case.
