Sale or Return
What this document covers
The Sale or Return form is a consignment agreement that establishes the terms under which goods are sent for examination, sale, or return. The consignee agrees to handle the items and return them to the consignor, who maintains ownership until the merchandise is sold. This agreement is crucial for protecting the rights and responsibilities of both parties involved in the consignment process, differentiating it from other sales agreements by retaining the title with the consignor until an actual sale occurs.

- Description and valuation of the goods being consigned.

- Restrictions on the consignee regarding the sale or disposal of the goods.
