A vendor or supplier contract is a legally binding agreement between a buyer and a supplier detailing goods or services, pricing, delivery schedules, quality standards, acceptance criteria, and remedies for breaches.
Core elements include scope of work, pricing and payment terms, delivery and risk of loss, warranties, indemnities, termination rights, and dispute resolution mechanisms.
