The Contract to Sell Motor Vehicle is a crucial legal document used in the Philippines when transferring ownership of motor vehicles, whether in private sales or commercial transactions. This contract type is distinct from a Deed of Sale as it typically precedes the final transfer of ownership, often used when payment is made in installments or when certain conditions must be met before final transfer. The document ensures compliance with Philippine regulations including the Civil Code, Consumer Act, and Land Transportation Office requirements. It provides protection for both parties by clearly defining the terms of sale, payment conditions, warranties, and the process for transferring vehicle registration. This contract is particularly important in the Philippine context where vehicle-related transactions require strict documentation for legal and administrative purposes.
