The Legal Risk Score of a Sale of Goods Agreement Template is Low

Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:

  • The document allows the seller to potentially alter the agreed delivery date after the buyer has placed an order, which could disrupt the buyer's planning or operations.
  • The requirement for the buyer to pay the price plus GST within a specified timeframe, and the imposition of interest on late payments, could pose financial strain or cash flow challenges for the buyer.
  • The seller retains the right to decline any order within three days of receipt without providing a reason, which could lead to unpredictability in supply for the buyer.
