Manufacturing Services Agreement
A Manufacturing Services Agreement establishes how a manufacturer will produce goods on behalf of another party, often covering quality, delivery, and intellectual property. This playbook highlights negotiation tactics for pricing, warranty coverage, and supply chain continuity.

Ensure the scope of work is detailed and aligns with your business objectives. Include specific deliverables, timelines, and acceptance criteria to avoid ambiguity.
