Vendor and supplier contracts are written agreements that describe the goods or services to be provided, payment terms, performance standards, and the remedies available if terms are not met.
Key elements include scope, price, delivery terms, acceptance criteria, payment terms, warranties, confidentiality, risk transfer, and termination. The typical process includes assessment, drafting, negotiation, approval, and execution.
This glossary defines terms commonly used in vendor and supplier contracts and contract management.
Delivery terms specify when goods or services must be delivered, who bears risk at each stage, and how acceptance is determined.
Payment terms set when invoices are due, any discounts for early payment, late fees, and acceptable payment methods.
Confidentiality provisions protect proprietary information shared under the contract and limit disclosure.
Dispute resolution outlines the steps to address disagreements, including negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation.
Options range from negotiated supplier agreements to standardized forms and fully drafted contracts that fit your risk profile.
