In Brazil, sales contracts for real estate transactions are particularly important and typically require notarization (autenticação cartorial). In the USA, sales contracts vary significantly by state and are heavily regulated. The term is essential in both countries' commercial and legal frameworks, though Brazilian contracts often require more formalities and government involvement than typical American contracts.
