Sales Contract Template

A sales contract formalizes the terms of a transaction for goods or services, protecting both the buyer and seller. It covers pricing, delivery terms, warranties, payment conditions, and remedies for breach.

Whether you're selling products, software licenses, or professional services, a well-drafted sales contract prevents misunderstandings and provides legal recourse if either party doesn't fulfill their obligations.

Our AI-generated sales contracts comply with the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) for US transactions and the Sale of Goods Act for UK transactions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a sales contract different from a purchase order?

Yes. A purchase order is a buyer's offer to purchase. A sales contract is a binding agreement between both parties. A PO can become a contract when the seller accepts it.

What warranties should be included?

At minimum, include express warranties about the product/service quality. Consider whether to disclaim implied warranties (merchantability, fitness for purpose) or limit their scope.

What law governs the sale of goods?

In the US, Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) governs. In the UK, the Sale of Goods Act 1979 and Consumer Rights Act 2015 apply. International sales may be governed by the UN CISG.
