📋 Is your UK business entering into supplier contracts? LegalVision's Supplier Contracts Checklist explains how to negotiate effectively and protect your business interests with comprehensive contract terms. Three key considerations for supplier contracts include: 💰 Price and Payment Terms: Ensure prices are clearly stated, payment schedules are defined, and the supplier cannot change prices without your consent unless commercially agreed. ⚖️ Service Levels and Remedies: Set out specific service standards (e.g. 99.9% software availability) and include clear consequences for breaches such as service credits or refunds. 🔒 Data and Privacy Protection: If suppliers process personal data on your behalf, ensure GDPR compliance, establish separate data processing agreements, and create clear data breach procedures.
