What is a sales contract?
A sales contract transfers ownership of goods from seller to buyer for a set price. Clear specifications, delivery date and payment terms prevent most disputes.
Key clauses every sales contract should include
The clearer the clauses, the fewer the disputes. Make sure at least these elements are covered:
- Seller and buyer details
- Goods description, quantity and specifications
- Price, tax and payment method
- Delivery place, date and who bears shipping
- Transfer of title and risk
- Warranty, defects and returns
- Penalties for delay or breach
- Force majeure
- Governing law and dispute resolution
Practical tips before signing
- Specify the goods precisely or attach a specification sheet.
- State whether the price includes VAT.
- Agree how goods are inspected and accepted.
- Link the contract to a quotation and invoice to complete the paper trail.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a sales contract if I have an invoice?
An invoice proves the transaction; a contract sets rights, duties, warranty and disputes, and is advisable for large or repeat deals.
Can a quotation become a contract?
Yes. Oqoodi converts an approved quotation into a contract or invoice without re-entering data.
