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.

Payment Terms

Why This Matters: Precise payment terms reduce the risk of delayed or disputed payments, which can strain relationships and lead to financial losses.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Buyer:

Negotiate for flexible payment schedules that align with cash flow needs. Ensure clarity in invoicing requirements to avoid disputes.

If you're the Supplier:

Advocate for firm pricing and structured payment milestones to secure timely payments. Include remedies for late payments to protect interests.

Action framework
