Purchase Agreements in Brazil

A purchase agreement is a legal contract between a buyer and a seller that outlines the terms and conditions of a transaction for the sale of goods or services. The agreement typically includes details such as the description of the item or service being sold, the purchase price, payment terms, delivery or performance dates, and any warranties or guarantees. It also outlines the responsibilities of each party and the rights and obligations of each party in the event of a dispute.

Points of Attention When Using Purchase Agreements in Brazil

if the non-compete agreement will be enforced in Brazil, it is important to ensure that the terms of the agreement are compliant with Brazilian law and do not conflict with any provisions of Brazilian labor law.

In such cases, it may be advisable to choose Brazilian law as the governing law, or to include a choice-of-law clause that provides for the application of Brazilian law in case of any conflict with the laws of the company’s home country.
