Sales Agreement (Goods Supply Contract)
A Sales Agreement establishes the legal framework for the sale and supply of goods between parties, setting terms for pricing, delivery, and risk transfer. This playbook examines key negotiation points including warranties, payment terms, and remedies for breach.
Termination and Renewal
Negotiation strategy
Ensure termination clauses provide flexibility to exit the contract without excessive penalties. Negotiate for reasonable notice periods and clear conditions for renewal.
