müügilepingut

Müügilepingut is the Estonian term for a sales contract. It is a legally binding agreement between a seller and a buyer, where the seller agrees to transfer ownership of a good or service to the buyer in exchange for a price. This type of contract is fundamental to commercial transactions and is governed by Estonian contract law, primarily the Law of Obligations Act.

Key elements typically included in a müügilepingut are the identification of the parties involved (seller and buyer), a clear description of the goods or services being sold, the agreed-upon price, and the method and timing of payment. Details regarding the delivery of the goods or provision of the service, including the location and deadlines, are also crucial. Warranties and conditions related to the quality and fitness for purpose of the sold item are often stipulated.

A müügilepingut can be concluded orally or in writing. However, for certain types of goods, especially real estate, a written form is legally required, often necessitating notarization. The contract creates obligations for both parties. The seller is obliged to deliver the goods in the agreed condition and transfer ownership, while the buyer is obliged to pay the agreed price and take possession of the goods. If either party fails to fulfill their obligations, the other party has legal remedies available, such as claiming damages or terminating the contract. The specific terms and conditions of a müügilepingut can vary widely depending on the nature of the transaction and the agreement between the parties.
