The Non-Binding Letter of Intent to Purchase Product is a crucial preliminary document in German commercial transactions, typically used when a company is seriously considering a significant product purchase but needs to establish a formal framework for negotiations before committing to a binding agreement. This document type is particularly relevant in scenarios involving substantial purchases, complex products, or when due diligence is required before final commitment. Under German law, while the letter maintains its non-binding character, it still operates within the framework of pre-contractual obligations (culpa in contrahendo) under the German Civil Code (BGB). The document serves multiple purposes: it demonstrates serious intent, outlines preliminary terms, establishes a framework for negotiations, and provides a basis for due diligence activities, all while preserving flexibility for both parties to modify terms or withdraw from discussions.
