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.

Limitation of Liability

Why This Matters: Without liability caps, a single incident could trigger catastrophic losses that exceed insurance and financial reserves, threatening business viability.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Buyer:

Ensure the liability cap aligns with your insurance coverage. Clearly define exclusions for fraud, gross negligence, and willful misconduct to protect your interests.

If you're the Supplier:

Negotiate for a reasonable liability cap that reflects the scope of work. Advocate for exclusions to be limited to intentional misconduct to avoid undue risk.

Essential elements

1

Liability Cap

Maximum recoverable amount.
2

Exclusions

Liabilities not capped.
3

Insurance Alignment

Cap matches insurance coverage.

Action framework

ACCEPT

Propose edits if the cap exceeds insurance limits or lacks clear exclusions.

EDIT

Reject if the clause imposes unlimited liability or lacks necessary exclusions.

ADD

Add language to align the cap with industry standards and insurance coverage.

PRO TIP

Always align liability caps with your insurance policy to ensure coverage adequacy.

Real-world examples

FAVORABLE

Standard Liability Cap

"The liability of either party shall not exceed [specified amount or percentage], except in cases of fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct."
NEUTRAL

Basic Liability Clause

"Liability is limited to direct damages up to [specified amount]."
UNFAVORABLE

Unlimited Liability

"Each party shall be liable for all damages without limitation."

Alternative scenarios & positions

High-Risk Contracts

Contracts involving high-value transactions or sensitive data require robust liability limitations. Engage with risk management to assess exposure and adjust caps.

Technology Agreements

In tech contracts, ensure liability caps cover potential data breaches and align with cybersecurity insurance.

International Deals

For cross-border agreements, consider jurisdictional differences in liability laws and adjust caps accordingly.
