Procurement Master Purchase Agreement

A Procurement Master Purchase Agreement defines the terms for purchasing goods or services at scale, streamlining vendor relationships under one umbrella contract. This playbook focuses on commercial leverage, service levels, and compliance mechanisms that drive long-term value.

Force Majeure & Risk Allocation

Why This Matters: Inadequate force majeure clauses can leave parties liable for non-performance during genuine emergencies.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Buyer:

Ensure the clause includes a comprehensive list of force majeure events relevant to your operations. Negotiate for clear notice requirements and equitable risk-sharing provisions to protect against unforeseen liabilities.

If you're the Seller:

Advocate for a balanced approach that includes reasonable notice periods and risk-sharing mechanisms. Ensure the clause allows for termination rights if disruptions persist beyond a practical timeframe.
