Description
A Consignment Agreement sets out the terms on which a supplier (the Consignor) agrees to provide goods to another business (the Consignee) for the purposes of selling those goods. Under a Consignment Agreement, the Consignor (the supplier) will retain all ownership over the goods being provided until the Consignee sells them to customers. This means that the Consignor can demand their goods to be returned to them at any point during the commercial relationship.
Generally, under a Consignment Agreement, a Consignee will act as an Agent and may get a commission or fee for the goods they sell on behalf of the Consignor.
A Consignment Agreement will clearly outline the roles and responsibilities of both parties, minimising the risk of disputes. This agreement covers a wide range of clauses, including:
- details of the consigned goods, the procedure for managing delivery and stock and what happens if any product is defective;
- outlining the fees and payment protections;
- clarifying the company’s obligation to sell the products and promote the interest of the consignor in good faith when marketing and promoting the products;
- stating the events under which title and ownership of the products will pass;
- the return of products not sold; and
- termination of the agreement.
If you’re looking for a company to sell your products to third parties or if you are a company looking to sell products belonging to third parties, getting a well-drafted Consignment Agreement is a great place to start to ensure that you have covered all angles.

Questions and Answers
We currently support businesses in the UK, Angola, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania, Rwanda and Uganda. Located in a different country? We’d be happy to refer you to someone local who can help – please contact us at hello@strandsahara.com.
All our contracts, templates, and guides are signed off by fully qualified legal professionals who have worked for some of the biggest corporations in the world. They each have at least 8 years’ legal experience and possess local and international experience.
We strongly recommend that you sign up for one of our all-inclusive plans so that you can make the most of the guidance and support we provide. However, we also offer a pay-as-you-go options if you are not ready just yet.
Our plans are all-inclusive because it is important to us that you have the right support and guidance on each of the key legal protections. It is up to you whether you make use of everything available, but we hope that you do in order to give your business the legal protection it deserves.
We provide legal support for business issues, including contracts, intellectual property and company secretarial work. We do not currently provide dispute resolution, property law services or support for personal legal issues.
Absolutely not! Our contracts are tailored to your business needs and situation.
Every business should have its own, tailor-made standard contracts for customers which reflect the way it does business.
Having your own standard terms will ensure that you’re able to provide the protection that your business needs and will enhance your reputation because customers will know what to expect from you and what happens if things go wrong.
To be effective, your standard terms must reflect the way you do business and protect your business from the specific risks you face. In contrast, we know that many businesses resort to relying on generic templates or re-purposing contracts obtained from competitors or previous employers. The problem is that these contracts often do not match up with your or your customers’ expectations and fail to adequately protect your business because important risks are not properly addressed. Poorly drafted or ill-suited contracts are often not worth the paper they are written on.
We are keen to connect with experienced legal professionals across Africa with a shared passion for building the African corporate giants for tomorrow. If that’s you, please get in touch by sending us an email at hello@strandsahara.com.
