A sales agreement (also known as a contract of sale, purchase agreement or sale of goods contract) is a commercial contract under which a seller agrees to transfer ownership of goods to a buyer in return for a monetary price. It specifies the goods, the price, the delivery terms, who bears the risk of loss, and the warranties the seller gives.
In Ireland, sales of goods are principally governed by the Sale of Goods Act 1893 — one of the oldest statutes still in force — as updated by the Sale of Goods and Supply of Services Act 1980. These statutes imply important terms about title, quality, fitness for purpose and correspondence with description. The Consumer Rights Act 2022 applies to sales between a trader and a consumer, while business-to-business sales are principally governed by the 1893 and 1980 Acts and the parties’ express terms.
Sales agreements are used in every sector from agriculture and manufacturing to technology and professional services. A written contract reduces disputes over delivery, quality, and payment, and is essential for cross-border sales within the EU single market or for compliance with incoterms where international carriage is involved.

Irish sale-of-goods law is a combination of Victorian-era statute, modern consumer-protection law, and EU single-market rules.

Drafted for Irish law
The Sale of Goods Act 1893 implies fundamental terms into every contract for the sale of goods in Ireland, including the seller’s right to sell (section 12), correspondence with description (section 13), and merchantable quality (section 14 as updated by the 1980 Act). These implied terms are difficult to exclude in business-to-business contracts and cannot be excluded in consumer contracts.
The Sale of Goods and Supply of Services Act 1980 modernised the 1893 Act, tightening the quality standard to "merchantable quality" and introducing the fair-and-reasonable test for excluding liability in non-consumer contracts. It also extends implied terms to services.
Retention of title clauses, by which the seller retains ownership of goods until full payment, are enforceable in Ireland. Simple retention clauses are routine; extended and "all-monies" clauses require careful drafting to avoid being recharacterised as registrable charges under the Companies Act 2014.
The European Communities (Late Payment in Commercial Transactions) Regulations 2012 entitle business sellers to statutory interest at the ECB reference rate plus 8 % and a minimum of €40 compensation per overdue invoice.
