The Definitive Purchase Agreement is a crucial document used in Philippine business transactions to formalize the final terms and conditions of a purchase and sale arrangement. It represents the culmination of negotiations and due diligence, replacing any preliminary agreements such as letters of intent or memoranda of understanding. This agreement is essential for significant transactions involving assets, shares, or property, and must comply with Philippine Civil Code requirements, commercial laws, and relevant regulatory frameworks.
