Document background
The Standard Contract of Sale is a fundamental commercial document used in Switzerland for transactions involving the transfer of goods between parties. This template is designed to comply with Swiss law, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations, and can be used for both domestic and international sales (with appropriate modifications for CISG applicability). The document is suitable for various transaction types, from simple retail sales to complex industrial equipment purchases, and includes provisions for payment terms, delivery conditions, warranty obligations, and liability limitations. It's particularly useful for businesses engaging in regular sales activities in Switzerland, providing a standardized approach while allowing customization for specific transaction requirements. The contract template incorporates Swiss legal requirements for sales contracts while maintaining flexibility to accommodate various business needs and industry-specific considerations.
