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.
Liability and Indemnities
Negotiation strategy
Negotiate for a liability cap tied to the contract value to ensure financial exposure is proportionate. Advocate for reciprocal indemnities with clear carve-outs for gross negligence and willful misconduct.
Ensure that indemnification obligations are mutual and include necessary carve-outs. Propose adjustments to the liability cap based on changes in contract value.
Essential elements
1
Liability Cap
Limits financial exposure.
2
Indemnification Obligations
Defines mutual indemnities.
3
Carve-Outs
Excludes certain liabilities.
Action framework
ACCEPT
Propose edits when liability caps are not tied to contract value or indemnities lack mutuality.
EDIT
Reject clauses that impose unlimited liability or lack necessary carve-outs.
ADD
Add language to establish liability caps and mutual indemnities if absent.
PRO TIP
Always ensure liability caps are explicitly tied to the contract value to maintain proportionality.

Alternative scenarios & positions
High-Value Contracts
For contracts exceeding a certain value, consider additional liability protections such as higher caps or insurance requirements.
International Agreements
In cross-border deals, ensure indemnities comply with local laws and consider currency fluctuations in liability caps.
Technology Transactions
For tech deals, include specific carve-outs for data breaches and intellectual property infringements.
