Algemene voorwaarden¶
Specifying terms and conditions is essential to establish important contractual points, such as payment terms, limitations of liability, and delivery terms between customers and sellers.
Sellers must declare all formal information concerning products and company policy. Conversely, customers must take note of all these conditions before committing to a purchase.
With Odoo Sales, it’s very easy to include default terms and conditions on every quotation, sales order, and invoice.

Click Save to save the terms and conditions.
These terms and conditions appear on every quotation, sales order, and invoice.
