Outsourcing Agreement

An Outsourcing Agreement governs the delegation of business functions to an external provider, defining scope, service levels, and performance standards. This playbook highlights key risk mitigation strategies for data protection, continuity, and liability allocation.

Payment Terms

Why This Matters: Unclear payment provisions can lead to disputes, cash flow disruptions, and potential non-payments, increasing financial risk.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Company:

Ensure the payment terms align with the company's cash flow needs. Negotiate for favorable payment schedules and remedies for late payments.

If you're the Service Provider:

Advocate for clear invoicing procedures and timely payments. Ensure interest rates for late payments are reasonable and compliant with laws.
