Document background
The International Sales Agreement is essential for businesses engaging in cross-border trade of goods where Irish law governs the transaction. This document is typically used when a company based in Ireland or a foreign company choosing Irish law is selling or purchasing goods internationally. The agreement covers critical aspects including product specifications, pricing, payment terms, delivery conditions (usually referencing Incoterms), quality standards, warranties, and risk allocation. It ensures compliance with Irish commercial law while incorporating international trade practices and relevant EU regulations. The document is particularly important for managing risks associated with international trade, establishing clear obligations for both parties, and providing mechanisms for dispute resolution. Key considerations include currency arrangements, shipping terms, import/export requirements, and quality control procedures.
