Document background
The Purchase Order Contract is a critical commercial document used to formalize procurement transactions in Switzerland. It serves as the primary agreement between a buyer and seller, detailing the specific goods or services to be purchased, their price, delivery terms, and quality specifications. This document type is essential for businesses operating under Swiss law, where commercial transactions are primarily governed by the Swiss Code of Obligations. The Purchase Order Contract helps ensure legal compliance while providing clear commercial terms that protect both parties' interests. It's particularly valuable for regular procurement activities, one-time significant purchases, or when dealing with new suppliers where formal documentation of terms is crucial. The document can be adapted for both domestic and international transactions, incorporating relevant international trade terms where necessary.
