Supply of goods agreements: the essentials

You may be entering into a new business relationship, negotiating a one-off transaction, or securing a long-term arrangement with a third party where a supply of goods agreement is required to run in parallel with standard terms of business. Whatever the reason, and whether you are a supplier or a buyer, it’s crucial that the paperwork properly reflects the business arrangement agreed, mitigates any potential risk for your business, and reduces the risk of disagreement between the parties in the future.

Whether you regularly deal with supply arrangements, or are new to this type of arrangement, each supply of goods agreement needs to be drafted as a one-off arrangement and can throw up new and unexpected issues. Our lawyers experience and understanding of the legal framework and market practice make navigation of these issues much simpler.

Complex pieces of legislation such as the Sale of Goods Act (SGA), and the Unfair Contract Terms Act exist which may impact on your supply arrangements, and failure to comply with these could have adverse consequences for your business relationships. Taking legal advice at an early stage will save time, anxiety and cost in the long-run and also ensure that your business has the protection it needs.

Benefits of a carefully drafted supply of goods agreement

Certainty
Be on the same page as your suppliers/customers by agreeing written terms to govern your relationship. Not only will this simplify your business relationships, but it will reduce the risk of disputes at a later date.
Mitigate risk
A comprehensive supply of goods agreement will include enforceable, compliant limitations of liability, security for payment and recourses for breach of contract, each of which protects your business and encourages open dialogue with your suppliers/customers.
Legal compliance
Having legal support and expertise during the drafting process will ensure that your contracts are fully compliant with the various statutes and regulations which apply to the supply of goods.
Stay ahead of the competition
Staying abreast of legal updates and current market practice allows your business to remain competitive and puts you ahead of the competition. Counterparties will value your professional approach and understanding of the market.
Supply continuity
Contractual provisions setting out the duration of a supply relationship, termination rights, and protection against unforeseen circumstances such as the COVID-19 pandemic, all help provide supply continuity – a crucial issue for any supplier or customer.
Flexibility of terms
Supply of goods agreements enable standard terms of business to be varied and amended on an ad hoc basis for specific projects or customers, without needing to amend the standard terms themselves. Show your top customers their value to your business by offering them enhanced terms without the administrative burden and risk of having different standard terms of business in place.
