Purchasing Terms and Conditions
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.
Force Majeure Events
Negotiation strategy
Ensure the clause includes a comprehensive list of events and a reasonable notification timeline. Negotiate for flexibility in performance obligations during such events.
