Purchasing Terms and Conditions outline the baseline commercial and legal framework for buyers when acquiring goods or services. This playbook guides you through essential clauses like payment, delivery, and liability, ensuring consistent protection across suppliers.
Why This Matters: Protecting sensitive information reduces the risk of data breaches, regulatory penalties, and reputational harm.
Negotiation strategy
If you're the Buyer:
Ensure robust confidentiality clauses are included to protect proprietary information. Negotiate for stringent data security measures to mitigate risks of breaches.
If you're the Supplier:
Advocate for reasonable data security standards that align with industry practices. Seek clarity on breach notification procedures to manage liabilities effectively.
