Purchase Agreement

Whether it's the private purchase of a used car or your morning trip to the bakery, both transactions constitute a purchase based on a sales contract. As you can see, such a contract does not always need to be in writing. In everyday life, we encounter these types of transactions daily, and they usually proceed without issues. However, when disputes arise after a purchase, sound advice becomes invaluable.

The sales contract defines the duties and rights between the seller and the buyer. Within this complex area, an almost countless number of potential disputes can arise between buyers and sellers. These often involve warranty rights, for instance, when goods are delivered incorrectly or are defective, or when the buyer has different expectations for the purchased item. Legally, it must then be determined whether the seller has fulfilled their obligations as defined in the sales contract. It is also always important to consider whether deadlines for rectifying defects, for example, were set and duly met.
