Short answer
A sound agreement precisely identifies the obligor, car, price, costs and final handover location. Expected vessel arrival and the buyer’s ultimate delivery deadline are different events.
Practical example
If the balance is payable ten days before arrival in Poti, identify the document establishing expected arrival and when the buyer must be notified.
What to do
Specify VIN, condition, total price, extra costs, payment stages, risk transfer, insurance and delay consequences. Define refund and penalty terms.
Points to consider
Not every delay automatically constitutes force majeure. Assess the circumstances and allocation of responsibility specifically.
