Sales agreement

Selling or buying an item, equipment, a batch of goods or a car? Describe the deal in your own words — the AI will clarify the goods, price, timing and delivery and prepare a draft sales agreement under the law of the selected country, with [FILL IN: …] fields instead of anything unknown.

What the AI asks about the deal

The assistant identifies the document type from your description and, before drafting, collects the essential inputs: who the seller and buyer are and their status — individual, sole trader or company; what exactly is being sold, in what quantity and condition; price, currency, taxes and payment terms; the time, place and method of delivery; and the language of the document. It asks up to six related questions per turn and does not repeat questions already answered. Details from a saved party profile are copied word for word, and unknown data is never invented: turn on “Draft with fillable fields” and you get a draft right away, with [FILL IN: …] markers and a “Needs to be completed” list.

Essential terms and your role

In most legal systems a sales agreement without a clear subject — the name and quantity of the goods — risks being treated as not concluded, and for some assets, such as real estate, the price may be essential too. Beyond the subject, the draft should say when and where the goods are delivered, when title and the risk of accidental loss pass to the buyer, what quality is expected and how the goods are accepted. Choose your side before drafting. A buyer cares about the description and completeness of the goods, inspection on acceptance, warranty and refund of prepayment. A seller cares about payment deadlines, retention of title until full payment and limits of liability. Commercial terms suggested by the AI are shown separately under “Proposed terms — to be agreed” and are never presented as agreed.

Form, registration and layout

An ordinary sale of goods can usually be made in simple written form, but for real estate, vehicles, company shares and other specially regulated assets many countries require notarisation, state registration or a special procedure. Once there is enough information, Legal looks up these requirements on the official legal portals of the selected country and only then drafts: city and date under the title, an opening paragraph naming the parties, sections such as “1. Subject of the agreement”, clauses “1.1”, and party details and signatures at the end. A reference to a legal provision stays in the legal notes only if the full text of the source was retrieved. The finished draft opens in the editor, where you can amend it, sign it and save it as PDF, DOCX, ODT, RTF, HTML, MD or TXT.

Sample structure of a sales agreement

Sample sections and wording that make the draft easy to check. This is not a ready-made form: the clauses depend on the subject of the deal, the status of the parties and the applicable law.

  1. Sales Agreement No. [FILL IN: number] · [FILL IN: city], [FILL IN: date]
  2. Opening: [FILL IN: name of the seller], hereinafter the “Seller”, and [FILL IN: name of the buyer], hereinafter the “Buyer”, have entered into this agreement as follows.
  3. 1. Subject of the agreement — 1.1. The Seller undertakes to transfer to the Buyer ownership of [FILL IN: name of the goods, quantity, specifications, identifiers], and the Buyer undertakes to accept the goods and pay the price.
  4. 2. Price and payment — 2.1. The price of the goods is [FILL IN: amount and currency], [FILL IN: including or excluding tax]. 2.2. Payment is made [FILL IN: deadline and method of payment].
  5. 3. Delivery of the goods — time, place and method of delivery, who pays for shipping, completeness and documents for the goods
  6. 4. Transfer of title and risk of accidental loss — 4.1. Title passes to the Buyer [FILL IN: moment of transfer].
  7. 5. Quality, warranty and acceptance — inspection on delivery, deadline for notifying defects, replacement or return procedure
  8. 6. Liability for late payment and late delivery, force majeure
  9. 7. Term, amendment and termination
  10. 8. Governing law and dispute resolution · 9. Party details and signatures

Essential and important terms

Before signing, make sure the draft answers every question. Which of them are mandatory depends on the country's law and the type of goods:

Limitations

Drafting a sales agreement with legal research is available on Plus ($5 per month) and Pro ($10 per month); Free keeps the chat, editor, export, party profiles and the local clause check. The draft is a working version to be checked, not a legal opinion: Legal does not guarantee that the agreement will be held valid and does not register transactions. If a provision is not confirmed by the full text of an official source, this is stated in the draft's limitations. Show deals involving real estate, vehicles, company shares and valuable assets to a lawyer or notary.

Check your own sales agreement in Legal

Received a draft from the other party? Upload it as PDF, DOCX, TXT or HTML up to 15 MB (recognise a scan first and compare it with the original) and run a contract review. In “Whose interests are we reviewing?” choose “Seller” or “Buyer”: the AI will find up to 30 material issues — for example, acceptance without explicit consent, a 100% non-refundable prepayment, unilateral price changes or a missing dispute clause — quote the clauses, compare them with provisions from official sources and suggest draft edits. Free includes a local check of twelve typical clauses without legal research.

Questions about sales agreements

Can I draft a car sales agreement?

Yes. Describe the deal as the sale of a vehicle: make, model, year, VIN, condition, price and handover. The assistant will clarify what is missing and look up the selected country's requirements for form and registration. Legal does not carry out registration — that has to be done with the competent authorities.

Is the draft suitable for selling a flat or other real estate?

The AI will prepare a draft and separately flag requirements for form, registration and notarisation if it finds them in official sources. In many countries real estate deals follow a special procedure, so be sure to show such a draft to a lawyer or notary.

Will the AI invent ID details, bank details or the price?

No. The model is prohibited from inventing names, addresses, bank and registration details, dates and amounts. Anything unknown is marked with [FILL IN: …] fields and listed under “Needs to be completed”. Saved party profiles are inserted word for word.

Will the draft cite articles of law?

Only if the requirement is confirmed by an official source whose full text was retrieved. Otherwise the reference is not used, and the draft's limitations say plainly that the source was not verified. The AI does not make up article numbers.

Can I draft the agreement in another language?

Yes. The document language is agreed in the conversation and can differ from the interface language. The governing law is chosen separately: the language of the agreement does not change the jurisdiction.

How do I revise the draft?

Write in the same conversation what to change — Legal keeps the agreed terms and fixes what you asked for. The draft also opens in the editor, where you can edit it by hand, sign it and save it in the format you need.

Can I create an invoice or an addendum for this agreement?

Yes. Document creation offers thirteen document types, including an invoice, an act, a contract addendum and a claim letter. For an act or addendum, select the original agreement in the “Basis document” field.

How much does drafting cost?

Drafting with legal research is available on Plus ($5 per month) and Pro ($10 per month). A contract you received can be checked for typical clauses on Free as well, using the local check.
