Contract outlines are useful for many purposes. In fact, Effective Agreements maintains that most arrangements between companies would proceed more easily if the starting point was an outline rather than an actual contract.
This Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) contract outline can:
-
Serve as the general guide of discussions leading to the drafting of an OEM Contract;
-
Help prevent errors of omission during such discussions
-
Be used for the creation of a negotiation strategy
It is hoped that this outline will serve the company that downloads it as a rigorous guide to a better commercial arrangement and contract. It should also help the CEO or CFO, assuming they are in charge of the agreement process, from wasting time.
