Document background
The Direct Purchase Agreement is a fundamental commercial contract used when one party wishes to purchase goods, equipment, or materials directly from another party without intermediaries. This template is specifically designed for use under German law and incorporates mandatory provisions from the German Civil Code (BGB) and Commercial Code (HGB). It is particularly suitable for business-to-business transactions where clarity on delivery terms, warranty provisions, and risk transfer is essential. The agreement can be used for both one-time purchases and recurring purchase arrangements, though it differs from framework agreements in that it covers specific transactions. It includes all necessary elements required under German law for a valid purchase contract, including precise description of goods, pricing, delivery terms, and warranty provisions.
