Document background
The Contract to Sell is a fundamental commercial document used in Danish business transactions to formalize the sale of goods, property, or assets. This document type is essential when parties need to establish legally binding terms for a sale transaction under Danish jurisdiction. It incorporates requirements from the Danish Sale of Goods Act (Købeloven), the Danish Contracts Act, and other relevant legislation. The contract is versatile and can be adapted for various types of sales, from simple goods to complex assets, and can be used in both business-to-business and business-to-consumer contexts. When dealing with consumer sales, additional mandatory provisions must be included to comply with Danish consumer protection laws. The document typically includes detailed specifications of the sale item, price and payment terms, delivery conditions, warranties, and risk transfer provisions.
