Document background
The As Is Contract For Sale And Purchase under Swiss law is a specialized agreement used when selling goods, assets, or property where the seller wishes to transfer the item in its current condition without providing extensive warranties. This document type is particularly relevant for second-hand goods, distressed assets, or situations where the buyer has thoroughly inspected the sale object and accepts any existing defects or issues. The contract must comply with Swiss legal requirements, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations' provisions on sales contracts and warranty disclaimers. While the agreement limits seller liability, it must still meet mandatory Swiss consumer protection requirements where applicable. The document typically includes detailed descriptions of the asset's condition, known defects, and explicit buyer acknowledgments of the "as is" nature of the purchase.
