Contract templates · Sales, Supply & Distribution
Brands that depend on a supplier need more than a price list. A supply agreement covers forecasts, quality, delivery failures and who carries the cost when something goes wrong.
A supply agreement is a longer-term contract under which a supplier provides materials or products against forecasts and purchase orders. It covers pricing and adjustments, specifications and quality, delivery, warranties and defects, liability and insurance.

Frequently asked questions
Are forecasts binding?
Only if the agreement says so; usually forecasts are non-binding and purchase orders are binding.

A supply agreement buys existing products or materials; a manufacturing agreement has the supplier make products to your design.
Should the supplier carry product liability insurance?
Yes, particularly for consumer goods.
