A vendor contract is a binding agreement between a buyer and seller that sets forth obligations, rights, and remedies related to the supply of goods or services.
Important elements include defined scope, pricing and payment terms, delivery schedules, quality standards, warranties, indemnities, confidentiality, audit rights, and termination rights. The process typically involves due diligence, contract drafting, negotiation, review, and ongoing compliance checks.
