Essential Sales Contract Elements: Key Terms and Risk Allocation
A warranty disclaimer that fails its formal requirements is not a disclaimer. It is a warranty. To exclude the implied warranty of merchantability, the contract must use that word — and if written, it must be conspicuous. Excluding fitness for a particular purpose requires a conspicuous writing as well. Sellers routinely believe they have disclaimed warranties that remain fully in force, because the language sits in ordinary type in the middle of standard terms. Risk of loss follows the delivery term, not the title. Whether the seller bears loss in transit turns on whether the contract requires delivery to a destination or merely delivery to a carrier. Two letters in a shipping term decide who absorbs a truck that never arrives — and if either party is already in breach, the ordinary rules shift again. Limited remedies work until they don't. Restricting the buyer to repair or replacement, and excluding consequential damages, is permitted. But where the limited remedy fails of its essential purpose — the seller cannot or will not repair — the full range of remedies returns, including the ones the clause was written to exclude. Inspection rights set the clock on rejection. A buyer who accepts goods loses the right to reject them and is left with the narrower remedy of damages for non-conformity. When acceptance occurs, and what counts as timely notice of a defect, is worth defining rather than leaving to the default rules.

What Is an Asset Purchase Agreement and How Does It Protect Buyers?
An asset purchase lets a buyer acquire selected assets and decline to assume the seller's liabilities. In New York, that is where most buyers stop reading, and where the problems begin. The structure works until it doesn't. New York applies de facto merger broadly, and continuity of ownership is the element that matters most — a seller who takes buyer equity as consideration has moved toward the outcome the structure was chosen to avoid. Separately, the state requires notice to the Department of Taxation and Finance before closing, and a buyer who skips it inherits the seller's unpaid sales tax by operation of law.Neither of those is a drafting problem. They are structural, and they are decided before the agreement is written.

NYC Services Agreement: Enforcing Performance and Remedies
In New York, a services agreement protects you only if it defines the performance you expect and the remedy when a provider falls short. Scope tells a provider what to do; service levels say how well, and remedies decide what you get if they miss. New York generally enforces negotiated performance standards and service credits, but treats a credit as valid only if it estimates loss rather than punishes. This guide covers service levels, service credits, and terminating for underperformance.
