Gold trading is a high-value, high-risk activity that demands security, transparency, and protection from fraud or default. One of the most effective ways to achieve this is through a well-drafted Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA). Dr. Alhammadi Law Firm, with its vast experience in gold trading contracts, specializes in creating SPAs that offer legal protection for both buyers and sellers. By combining SPAs with escrow services, the firm plays a critical role in securing gold transactions in Dubai and the UAE.

What is a Gold SPA?

A Sales and Purchase Agreement (SPA) is a legally binding document that formalizes the terms of a gold trade. The SPA typically covers:

• Gold Quantity: The exact amount of gold being transacted.
• Price: The agreed price per unit of gold and the total transaction value.
• Delivery Terms: The logistics surrounding when and how the gold will be delivered.
• Payment Terms: How and when payment will be made, including any financial guarantees such as Standby Letters of Credit (SBLCs).
• Risk and Ownership Transfer: Specifies when ownership of the gold transfers from the seller to the buyer, and who bears the risk during transit and delivery.

A well-structured SPA helps mitigate risks by setting clear terms that both parties must adhere to, ensuring smooth transactions and minimizing the potential for disputes.

2. Protection Against Fraud: A legally binding SPA helps protect both parties from fraudulent activities, including misrepresentation, counterfeit goods, or non-delivery of gold.
3. Risk Mitigation: The SPA outlines the exact moment when risk and ownership transfer, giving both parties clarity on when they are legally responsible for the gold.
