About Supply of Goods Agreements

A supply of goods agreement will set out in detail what each party's responsibilities are and how the relationship between the two parties will work.

When purchasing or supplying goods, it’s vital to know exactly what you are committing to. As the buyer, this could be knowing that you have price certainty in a market where costs can fluctuate, or receiving a guarantee of supply continuity; as a supplier, key priorities may include knowing that your investments in equipment are backed up by guaranteed orders, or that your liability is capped if something goes wrong.

When planning a supply of goods agreement, key questions should therefore include:

  • Is it clear how the contractual relationship will work?
  • What will happen if the customer cannot pay?
  • How can you get out of an agreement that isn’t working for you?
  • What happens if the supplier fails to provide the items they have promised, or doesn’t deliver on time?
  • Are you restricted in dealing with other people in relation to the relevant goods?
  • How can you ensure that your preferred terms are incorporated into the agreement?

By consulting with commercial law solicitors with expertise in supply of goods agreements, you will be able to ensure that these arrangements consistently meet your specific needs.
