​Your suppliers can be an important part of your business — from manufacturers and distributors to service providers, agencies, contractors and specialist consultants.

​

A clear supplier agreement can help establish expectations around pricing, delivery, quality, intellectual property, confidentiality and responsibility if something goes wrong.

​

EL Creative Counsel can assist businesses with drafting, reviewing and negotiating supplier agreements, helping ensure the contractual arrangements reflect the commercial relationship you've agreed.

​

We can help address:

​

• Scope of supply

• Pricing and payment

• Delivery requirements

• Product specifications

• Service levels

• Intellectual property

• Confidentiality

• Warranties

• Liability and indemnities

• Insurance

• Exclusivity

• Term and termination

• Dispute resolution

​

Clear expectations can prevent commercial headaches

​

Supplier relationships often become more complicated when expectations haven't been clearly documented.

​

What happens if delivery is late? What if products don't meet the agreed specification? Who owns intellectual property created as part of the relationship? Can the supplier use your confidential information or work with competitors?

​

Addressing these issues in the agreement can provide greater certainty and give both parties a clearer understanding of their responsibilities.
