Document background
The Master Sale Agreement serves as the primary contractual framework for businesses engaging in repeated sales transactions under German law. It is particularly useful for companies maintaining ongoing commercial relationships where multiple individual sales will occur over time. The agreement consolidates all standard terms and conditions, eliminating the need to negotiate these for each transaction while ensuring compliance with German commercial law requirements. It typically includes detailed provisions for ordering procedures, quality standards, delivery terms, and risk allocation, with specific consideration given to German legal principles such as 'Eigentumsvorbehalten' (retention of title). The document is structured to accommodate both domestic German transactions and international trade relationships, incorporating relevant EU regulations and optional CISG applications.
