A vendor contract is a written agreement that outlines the obligations of both the buyer and the supplier, including goods or services to be provided, pricing, delivery terms, and performance standards. It also defines remedies for breaches and dispute resolution processes. Having a clear contract helps prevent misunderstandings and provides a framework for accountability.
