Document background
The Sales Offer Letter is a crucial commercial document used in German business transactions to initiate the sale of goods or services. It must be drafted in compliance with German law, particularly the German Civil Code (BGB) and Commercial Code (HGB), and contains legally required elements such as clear price statements, delivery terms, and validity periods. This document is typically used when a company wishes to make a formal, binding offer to potential customers, whether in B2B or B2C contexts. The letter serves as the foundation for contract formation and must be carefully drafted to ensure all essential terms are clearly stated and legally compliant. Under German law, a Sales Offer Letter creates a binding commitment from the offering party and should therefore include all necessary commercial and legal safeguards.
