Course Overview

A sales contract is a mutual written or oral agreement between two or more persons with a promise and in abidance with law wherein it can be considered enforceable. Thus, the essential elements of a contract include a written or oral agreement, mutual relationship, promise or vow and enforceability by law.

When is an international sales contract created? An international sales contract is created between two parties located in different countries. Complexity increases with international sales contracts as commercial law differs from country to country.

Thus, an international sales agreement needs to take into consideration national trade practices, values, and public policy. These sales contracts have a higher risk of failure because of nation-specific challenges. Arbitration clauses are the best to include in such contracts to increase security. Thorough understanding of the nature and scope of international sales contracts would lead to a successful and efficient performance of a contract.

This Zoe training course will empower you with a thorough understanding and detailed information critical for framing and drafting international sales contracts, keeping in mind all necessary elements to manage risks and prevent failures of these contracts.
