Sale of Goods / Assets Agreement

• Both parties must sign for the agreement to be legally binding.
• Statutory implied terms (fitness for purpose, satisfactory quality, title) may apply regardless of what the written agreement says - particularly in consumer transactions.
• Seller must have clear title to sell the goods - selling goods you do not own or that are subject to a finance charge may be void or fraudulent.
• Risk of loss typically transfers to the buyer on delivery unless the agreement states otherwise.
• For sale of second-hand goods, exclusion of implied warranties may be possible between businesses but is restricted in consumer sales.
• VAT and sales tax treatment vary by country - verify tax obligations in the relevant jurisdiction.
• For international sales, the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) may apply unless expressly excluded.
• For business asset sales (goodwill, plant, machinery), additional due diligence is recommended.
