conditions of purchase

Conditions of sale and conditions of purchase are two different sides of the same coin.

Brand concept refers to Ab, and impersonal attitude refers to attitude toward the conditions of purchase.

It is written from the point of view of the purchaser, and therefore, as again is customary, is referred to as a set of standard conditions of purchase.

Conversely, if the businesss' customers are other businesses, who may have their own conditions of purchase, it may be necessary to include provisions to deal with the possibility of a battle of forms.

Whether the quotation be an invitation to treat or an offer is actually immaterial, because the buyer will in response send back his purchase order with his standard conditions of purchase on the back.

Superficially, the approach is the same whether the remedy is contained in conditions of sale or conditions of purchase, and in many cases the wording of the remedies may be very similar indeed.

This is because in the purchase conditions there will be a provision stating that any contract entered into pursuant to the purchase order will be on the standard conditions of purchase on the back of the order (see the preliminary statement and cl 1.1 of Precedent 2).
