Does anyone know of a source of pro-forma legal contracts specifically for furniture sales into a retailer. If possible I would like to also see a clause on the issues surrounding “sale or return” e.g. damage to item in store.
Sales to a retailer aren’t typically governed by a contract, at least not in the US. The retailer buys the merchandise, and at that point it’s theirs. If they break it in their store, that’s their problem. Pre-existing defects are corrected by the manufacturer, and freight damage is covered by the contract with your carrier.
If you are selling on a consignment basis, however, you will need a contract. (Google “consignment contract”.) There are all kinds of ways to get screwed on consignment. Don’t do it unless you absolutely have to.
