(buyer) pledges (to buy)


Explanation:
Mais uma sugestão.

A planned purchase order is issued as a long-term agreement where the buyer pledges to buy products or services from a particular supplier.

Order refers to Goods that the Buyer pledges to buy after completing payment via the online checkout process

Example sentence(s):
  • A buyer pledges to buy all of required materials from a seller. Open quantity: output contract. Seller promises to sell all of its output to a buyer.
  • A legal agreement in which the buyer pledges to buy another person's property.
