Key Requirements PROMPT example:

Preliminary Sale And Purchase Agreement

"I need a Preliminary Sale and Purchase Agreement for the acquisition of a small technology company based in Manchester, with specific focus on protecting intellectual property rights and including a 60-day exclusivity period for due diligence, targeting completion by March 2025."

Document background
The Preliminary Sale And Purchase Agreement is commonly used in England and Wales when parties wish to formalize their initial understanding while maintaining flexibility for detailed negotiations. It's particularly valuable in complex transactions where extensive due diligence is required or where regulatory approvals are needed. The document establishes key commercial terms, timing, and conditions while allowing parties to proceed with confidence that the fundamental elements of the deal are agreed. It's designed to be legally binding but typically includes provisions for conversion into a more detailed definitive agreement.
