Sales Contract Guide: Essential Terms, Disputes, and Legal Rules
Whether Article 2 applies decides how long you have to sue. Four years for goods, six for an ordinary contract. Where a transaction involves both goods and services — software with implementation, equipment with installation, custom fabrication — courts apply a predominant purpose test to decide which. The answer is not obvious in advance, and it can extinguish a claim that seemed timely. And the parties can shorten it further. Section 2-725 permits reducing the period to as little as one year by agreement. That provision sits in many standard terms of sale, and buyers usually encounter it after the defect appears. Most B2B disputes start with the paperwork not matching. A purchase order and an acknowledgment with different terms still form a contract. Between merchants, additional terms in the response become part of the agreement unless they materially alter it or the other side objects. Which means your counterparty's boilerplate may be in your contract without anyone having agreed to it. The writing requirement has a merchant exception worth knowing. A confirmation sent between merchants satisfies the statute of frauds against the recipient unless they object within ten days. An unanswered email can bind you. On remedies, a buyer who covers recovers the difference in price; one who accepts defective goods recovers the difference in value. Contractual limits on those remedies hold — until the limited remedy fails of its essential purpose, at which point the full range returns.

What Should a Corporation Do When Facing a Risk Management Case?
A risk management case is a dispute in which a corporation faces potential liability, regulatory exposure, or operational disruption and must evaluate its legal posture, evidence preservation obligations, and strategic response options before a claim hardens or litigation begins. Corporations that delay risk assessment often scramble to reconstruct facts, locate witnesses, or explain why critical documents were not preserved. The moment a potential claim surfaces, your organization should map the legal exposure, identify the governing law and forum, and determine whether the opposing party has met threshold requirements to proceed. Understanding the burden of proof and your defensive options allows your corporation to structure a response that highlights weaknesses in the other side's case and potentially move for dismissal or summary judgment before trial.
