Core provisions to check before signing so that obligations and remedies are clear.
Define obligations in measurable terms
A contract should state who must do what, when delivery is due, what standard applies, and how payment will be made. Broad language often leaves the parties with different expectations.
Provisions to check
- Party details and authority to sign
- Scope, price, tax, and payment dates
- Warranties, corrections, and liability
- Termination events and notice procedure
- Governing law and dispute resolution
