36+ Sales Contract Templates – Pages, Docs
A sale contract is a legal document officially documenting an exchange of goods or services, the terms of the exchange, and the parties involved. Sales contracts and service agreements are all part of the inescapable paperwork that comes with the legal territory in any business transaction.
Depending on the sale and its relevant details, the contract template will vary. You might be buying or selling real estate, a car, furniture, or your own professional services. High-value assets that people pay serious money for will require more than a one-size-fits-all contract, and here is where these free sales samples can help you out.

When to Use Sales Contracts
If you’ve ever signed a Business Contract or a Construction Contract, you will readily understand the difference between a sales contract and a bill of sale. At first glance, a bill of sale is exactly like the sales contract. It is also a legal document that officially documents a business transaction—an exchange of goods or services for a price.
Where they differ is when they are used.
- A bill of sale is completed and filed during an exchange or after an exchange has taken place. It confirms ownership (and any warranties) the seller has and then confirms the terms and conditions under which this ownership has been legally transferred to the buyer.
- A sales contract is completed and filed before an exchange has taken place. It is in effect an agreement for a future transaction. It spells out the agreed-upon commodities or services, the purchasing price, the date of delivery, and all other terms and conditions that the seller and buyer agree to the exchange.
These sales contracts then reflect the agreement on a future transaction, whether in real estate or a promised shipment of machinery. This applies even if the good or service is delivered immediately after signing.

Notes on Using These Templates
Feel free to download these templates as reference. They are available as free .doc/.docx and PDF files, so you may easily modify them to suit your needs in an official transaction.
If you are signing for a physical commodity, a sales contract should also allow you to reject it on delivery, if it does not conform to the agreed standards. Contracts for services may be terminated, if need be (e.g., construction contracts). This is harder to do with contracts for one-time services (e.g., a Catering Contract).
Note: Use the Conditional Sales Agreement Template when selling anything that is to be paid for in installments, such as a vehicle or a house. A conditional sales agreement is an arrangement where the buyer may take possession of the property, but the ownership title and rights still belong to the seller until the buyer has finished paying the full purchasing price stated in the sales contract.
