Forms A & B, Sales Agreements & Business Supplies

Sales Agreements

Brought to our attention by the AB Farm Implement Board, we have been advised that all information must be filled out on sales contracts (including distributor address) or they will not accept the form as a legal contract. This same rule applies to every province.

It is imperative that all information be included on the sales contract no matter what province the dealer does business in. We encourage all dealers to order sales agreement forms through the Canada West office to ensure the legalities of the sales  contract are in accordance to provincial law.

Forms

• Saskatchewan Form A - New Sale Contract

• Saskatchewan Form B - Used Sale Contract

• Manitoba Form A - New/Used Sale Contract

• Other forms are available. Contact the Association office for details.

Business Supplies

The Employee Manual is a new addition to business supplies. Canada West has created a simple, easy to follow guideline for generating this important business tool. An employee manual is useful in ensuring consistent, fair treatment of all employees and protecting the dealership.

The cost of paper and printing is increasing steadily and, by using our leverage as a group of buyers, we can reduce the price our members pay for computer and counter forms. Group purchasing power enables the Association to purchase business supplies at the lowest prices. These savings are then passed on to our members through our business supplies program.

Contact Liana Boutet at 403-250-7581 to receive a quote on any printing you may require.

The table below contains a list of some of the supplies and forms that are available through the Association.
