Document background
The International Sales Agreement is essential for businesses engaged in cross-border trade of goods where Austrian law governs the transaction. This document is particularly relevant when at least one party is based in Austria or when parties choose Austrian law as the governing law. The agreement combines international trade law (particularly the CISG), EU regulations, and Austrian domestic law to create a comprehensive framework for international sales. It addresses crucial aspects such as product specifications, quality standards, delivery terms, risk transfer, payment conditions, and dispute resolution mechanisms. The document is designed to provide legal certainty in international transactions while complying with mandatory provisions of Austrian law and EU regulations. It's particularly important for establishing clear terms in cross-border sales, managing international trade risks, and ensuring enforceability across different jurisdictions.
