sales contract

Home / glossary / sales contract

“sales contract” is defined by the following:

(1)   A contract is a sales contract if under it—

  • the trader transfers or agrees to transfer ownership of goods to the consumer, and
  • the consumer pays or agrees to pay the price.

(2)   A contract is a sales contract (whether or not it would be one under subsection (1)) if under the contract—

  • goods are to be manufactured or produced and the trader agrees to supply them to the consumer,
  • on being supplied, the goods will be owned by the consumer, and
  • the consumer pays or agrees to pay the price.

(3)   A sales contract may be a “conditional sales contract” and it makes no difference whether or not the consumer possesses the goods.
