trade terms
Deal's governing stipulations
Trade terms are the conditions governing a commercial transaction—payment deadlines, delivery responsibilities, pricing structures, and who bears which costs or risks.
In international commerce, standardized trade terms like FOB (free on board) or CIF (cost, insurance, freight) specify exactly when ownership and liability transfer from seller to buyer.
We need to negotiate better trade terms before signing.
