Document background
The Sales Contract Between Buyer and Seller is a fundamental commercial agreement used to formalize transactions involving the sale of goods under Irish law. This document is essential when parties wish to clearly define their rights and obligations in a sales transaction, whether for a one-time purchase or ongoing supply arrangement. It incorporates key requirements from Irish legislation, including the Sale of Goods Act 1893 and Sale of Goods and Supply of Services Act 1980, while also addressing modern commercial practices and EU regulations where applicable. The contract typically covers crucial aspects such as price, payment terms, delivery arrangements, quality standards, warranties, and risk transfer, providing both parties with legal certainty and protection. It's particularly important for significant transactions or when dealing with valuable, specialized, or regulated goods.
