    Study Notes

    Special Contract

    • Indemnity: A contractual agreement where one party agrees to compensate another party for damages or losses.
    • Guarantee: An agreement involving three parties: principal debtor, creditor, and surety. The surety promises to pay the debt if the principal debtor defaults.
    • Bailment: The delivery of goods by one person (bailor) to another (bailee) for a specific purpose. Upon completion, the goods are returned or disposed of according to the bailor's instructions.
    • Pledge: A contract where someone (pledgor) provides an asset as security for a loan. The lender (pledgee) holds the asset until the debt is repaid.
    • Contract of Sale of Goods: An agreement where a seller transfers or agrees to transfer ownership of goods to a buyer for a price.
      • The buyer and seller are the two parties involved.
      • The goods are the subject of the contract.
      • The goods must be transferred from seller to buyer.
      • Payment is made in the legal currency of the country.
    • Condition: A fundamental requirement in a contract. It must be fulfilled before other actions in the contract can take place.
    • Warranty: A seller's written promise to repair or replace a product if it has defects. Warranties are additional commitments to a sale and are promises made by the seller.
    • Transfer of Ownership:
      • In a sale, ownership transfers to the buyer immediately.
      • In an agreement to sell, ownership transfers to the buyer at a future date.
      • The transfer of ownership depends on things like:
        • Are the goods in a deliverable state?
        • Are the goods not in a deliverable state?
        • Has the price been determined?
    • Performance of the Contract of Sale: It refers to the process of delivery and acceptance of goods by the buyer, and the payment by the buyer.
      • The seller must be prepared to deliver the goods to the buyer in exchange for payment.
      • The buyer must be ready to pay the price in exchange for receiving the goods.
      • Performance can be absolute or conditional.
      • This applies to both sales and agreements to sell.
