8. PAYMENT CLAUSES AND RETENTION OF TITLE
PAYMENT CLAUSES AND RETENTION OF TITLE is about two of the most important topics found in any commercial contract, namely the clauses which contain information about payment and those that deal with the transfer of the ownership of whatever is being sold under the agreement.
The focus is on a cross-border contract for the sale of goods, using the example of a seller in Turkey and a buyer in England. The contract between them will state when the buyer must make payment for the goods and the consequences of late payment. Another important aspect of the agreement is precisely when the buyer becomes the legal owner of the goods. The module also introduces the subjects of negotiating parties drawing up heads of terms and the use of templates in contract drafting.
