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.

Payment Terms

Why This Matters: Ambiguous payment provisions can lead to cash flow disruptions, disputes over invoicing, and protracted negotiations, increasing financial and operational risk.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Buyer:

Negotiate for early payment discounts and ensure payment terms align with cash flow needs. Insist on clear penalties for late payments to protect financial interests.

If you're the Supplier:

Advocate for longer payment terms to manage cash flow effectively. Ensure penalties for late payments are reasonable and reflect industry standards.
