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.

Liability and Indemnification

Why This Matters: Without clear caps and triggers, parties may face unlimited liability, leading to significant financial exposure.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Buyer:

Negotiate a liability cap that reflects the total fees paid and ensure indemnity obligations are mutual. Clearly define indemnity triggers to protect against unforeseen claims.

If you're the Seller:

Advocate for a reasonable liability cap and ensure indemnity obligations are reciprocal. Clarify indemnity triggers to avoid unexpected liabilities.

Essential elements

1

Liability Cap

Limits total financial exposure.
2

Indemnity Triggers

Defines events triggering indemnity.
3

Reciprocal Indemnification

Mutual protection against claims.

Action framework

ACCEPT

Propose edits if liability caps are too high or indemnity triggers are unclear.

EDIT

Reject clauses that impose unlimited liability or lack mutual indemnification.

ADD

Add language to clarify indemnity triggers and set liability caps.

PRO TIP

Always ensure indemnity obligations are mutual and cover third-party claims to balance risk exposure.

Real-world examples

FAVORABLE

Preferred Liability Cap

"The total aggregate liability of either party under this Agreement shall not exceed the amount paid or payable by the Buyer to the Seller under this Agreement during the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim."
NEUTRAL

Reciprocal Indemnification

"Both parties agree to provide reciprocal indemnification to each other for any third-party claims arising from the actions or omissions of the indemnifying party, provided that such claims are not due to the indemnified party's negligence or willful misconduct."
UNFAVORABLE

Unlimited Liability

"Neither party shall have any cap on liability, exposing both to unlimited financial risk."

Alternative scenarios & positions

High-Risk Projects

In high-risk projects, ensure liability caps are adjusted to reflect potential exposure and indemnity triggers are comprehensive.

International Contracts

For international contracts, consider jurisdiction-specific indemnity clauses to ensure compliance with local laws.

Startup Agreements

In startup agreements, negotiate lower liability caps to protect limited resources and ensure mutual indemnification.
