sales contracts
Binding transaction papers
Sales contracts are legally binding agreements between a buyer and seller that establish the terms of a transaction—price, quantity, delivery, payment terms, and warranties.
They govern everything from real estate purchases to bulk commodity trades.
The term appears most often in commercial and legal contexts: The sales contract specified delivery within thirty days.
Informal transactions rarely involve written sales contracts, but the legal framework applies whenever goods change hands for money.
