This Purchase Order can be used by a buyer and contain terms and conditions which favor the buyer.

The face of the purchase order form usually contains the name and address of the buyer, the date of the order, the name and address of the seller, a description of the styles and quantities of the ordered goods, the price and terms of payment, the delivery date and delivery instructions, and a line for signifying acceptance. The reverse side of the order form is in the nature of a condensed contract which sets forth the remaining terms of the transaction. While these terms are similar to those that would be used in a contract drawn for a specific transaction, space limitations and a desire for simplicity frequently restrict the number of contractual provisions and require an economy of language in expressing those provisions.

Other names for this document include:

• Sales Order; and

• Buyer's Order.
