commercial contract

Trade binding arrangement

A commercial contract is a legally binding agreement between businesses or between a business and another party, governing the exchange of goods, services, or money.

Unlike consumer contracts, commercial contracts typically involve parties presumed to have equal bargaining power and business sophistication: The company reviewed the commercial contract before signing with the supplier.

Terms often cover payment schedules, delivery obligations, warranties, and remedies for breach.
