A vendor agreement should define scope, payment terms, delivery, inspection, acceptance criteria, warranty coverage, remedies for breach, and termination triggers. It should also outline change procedures, confidentiality, dispute resolution, and governing law to provide clarity and reduce disputes. Additionally, specify performance standards, acceptance criteria, cure periods for defects, and a clear process for returns, recalls, and remedies. Include confidentiality, governing law, and dispute resolution to ensure efficient handling of issues and predictable outcomes.
Typically, we begin with a needs assessment and a review of existing agreements. We identify gaps, negotiate key terms such as price, delivery, and liability, and prepare a draft that reflects your objectives. The process emphasizes practical drafting, stakeholder input, and timely feedback. We then circulate the draft for review, incorporate comments, finalize the agreement, and coordinate execution. Throughout, we monitor compliance requirements and provide guidance for renewals or amendments as your supplier network evolves.
