What is a contract of sale?

A contract of sale is an agreement between two parties in which one agrees to transfer ownership of a certain item (goods, services, or both) to another in return for payment. This agreement is legally binding and, once signed, requires both parties to fulfill it or face legal consequences. In North Carolina, a contract of sale must meet certain criteria in order to be considered valid. This includes providing an identification of the parties involved, a detailed description of the goods or services being transferred, a fixed price, and any other details necessary to complete the agreement. Additionally, the terms of the contract must be understood and accepted by both parties. Once the agreement is complete, a signed document should be kept by both parties to prove the transfer of goods or services. If either party does not fulfill the contract, the other can take legal action to enforce the contract.
