PLAYBOOK TEMPLATES

Material Transfer Agreement (MTA)

An MTA governs the transfer of tangible research materials between organizations. This playbook highlights confidentiality, permitted use, and ownership of resulting data or inventions.

Payment and Pricing

Why This Matters: Vague or unfavorable payment terms can cause cash flow issues, disputes, and financial exposure.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Provider:

Negotiate clear payment triggers and ensure milestone-based invoicing to maintain cash flow. Insist on caps for price escalation to avoid unexpected financial burdens.

If you're the Recipient:

Ensure that payment terms are favorable and allow for flexibility in price adjustments. Provide detailed documentation to justify any price increases.
