Müügitehingu

Müügitehingu refers to a sales transaction, a fundamental concept in commerce and law. It is an agreement between a seller and a buyer where ownership of goods or services is transferred from the seller to the buyer in exchange for a price. This exchange typically involves a clear offer from the seller and an acceptance from the buyer, creating a legally binding contract.

The essential elements of a müügitehingu include the parties involved (seller and buyer), the object of the sale (the goods or services), and the price or consideration. The terms of the transaction, such as payment methods, delivery schedules, and warranties, are often detailed in a sales contract, though a müügitehingu can also be concluded verbally for simpler transactions.

In Estonia, the Law of Obligations Act (Võlaõigusseadus) governs sales transactions, outlining the rights and obligations of both parties. For example, the seller is obligated to transfer ownership of the item and ensure it is free from defects, while the buyer is obligated to pay the agreed price and accept the item.

Müügitehingu can range from everyday retail purchases to complex business-to-business deals. Understanding the principles of a müügitehingu is crucial for consumers and businesses alike to ensure fair and legally sound commercial exchanges. The process protects both parties by establishing clear expectations and remedies in case of non-performance or disputes.
