Master Supply Agreement

A Master Supply Agreement governs the ongoing supply of goods between buyer and supplier, setting pricing, logistics, and quality standards. This playbook provides insights into balancing continuity of supply, cost control, and contractual accountability.

Force Majeure

Why This Matters: Well-drafted force majeure clauses help prevent disputes during crises and allocate risk for delays caused by natural disasters, pandemics, or other unforeseeable events.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Buyer:

Ensure the clause lists specific events like natural disasters, pandemics, and government actions. Confirm notice requirements and timelines are clear. Check for reasonable mitigation obligations.

If you're the Supplier:

Highlight the importance of including a force majeure clause to align with risk management strategies. Propose adding a clause that clearly defines the scope and obligations.

Notice Requirements

Timely notification of events.
2

Alternative scenarios & positions

High-Risk Projects

In high-risk projects, ensure the clause covers a broad range of events and includes detailed mitigation obligations to minimize disruptions.

International Contracts

For international contracts, tailor the clause to address cross-border legal differences and potential geopolitical risks.

Long-Term Agreements

In long-term agreements, include provisions for periodic review and adjustment of force majeure terms to reflect changing circumstances.
