Sale or Return
Understanding this form
The Sale or Return form is a consignment agreement between a consignor and a consignee. This legal document allows the consignee to hold and evaluate goods without taking ownership until a sale occurs. Unlike a straightforward sales agreement, the Sale or Return form maintains the consignor's title to the goods until the sale is completed or the items are returned. It serves to protect both parties by clearly outlining the terms of the arrangement and the obligations regarding the goods until they are sold or returned.

It helps ensure that the consignor retains control over the goods until a sale is finalized or the items are returned on demand.
