What is a contract of sale?

A contract of sale is a legally binding agreement between two parties to exchange goods or services in return for payment. In Nebraska, the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) governs the laws surrounding contracts of sale. A contract of sale must be in writing and must specify the type of goods or services being exchanged, the amount of money that must be paid, and any other conditions of the agreement. In addition, a contract of sale must include certain elements to be legally enforceable. These include an offer and acceptance, consideration (an exchange of something of value), and the parties’ consent that they intend to be legally bound by the agreement. The parties must have the capacity to enter a contract (this means they are of legal age and of sound mind) and the agreement must be legal in nature. In Nebraska, a contract of sale is enforceable even if it has minor errors, as long as the parties have agreed upon the terms of the agreement. However, if a contract of sale is deemed void or voidable, the parties are not legally obligated to fulfill the terms of the contract and the agreement is not enforceable. If either party fails to abide by the terms of the contract, the other party may take legal action to recover damages.
