Free Purchase Contract Templates: A Hidden Cost You Don’t See

Print

Content:

“I found a free template online. What could go wrong?”
That’s what Mr. Vomáčka thought when selling his used van. The buyer agreed, signed — and paid only half.
By the time the ownership was officially transferred, the van was crashed, and there was no clear liability.
Turns out, that free template was the most expensive document he ever downloaded.

Everyone’s been there. You need a quick purchase contract, Google offers hundreds of templates — free.
Why not?

What you don’t see:

  • outdated legal language,

  • templates for different transaction types (e.g., real estate instead of vehicles),

  • key clauses missing — or protecting only the other side.

👨‍💼 Mr. Vomáčka’s Case (Fictional)

He sold a van as a sole trader.
Purchase price: CZK 210,000
Buyer: private person

The template lacked:

  • clear ownership transfer timing,

  • liability for defects,

  • penalties for late payment.

The result?

  • Vehicle was not transferred for 3 weeks,

  • Buyer damaged it in an accident,

  • Paid only part of the agreed price, citing “technical issues”.

A written contract without clarity is worse than no contract at all.

✅ What your purchase contract should always include:

  • Exact transfer date and handover details,

  • Payment terms (method, timing, confirmation),

  • Clause on liability and complaints,

  • Sanctions for default,

  • Clear object description (ID, VIN, photos, etc.).

Templates can help — if you know what to check and what to edit.
If not, you might just download yourself into a lawsuit.
