What is this supply of goods agreement template?

The basics: In simple terms, a supply of goods agreement is a contract that outlines the terms under which goods / products are provided by a supplier to its customers. This is needed to clearly define how goods will be delivered, and the obligations of both parties in relation to the goods provided. It will also need to include details of the liability accepted by the supplier if things go wrong. To find out more about liability clauses, read this comprehensive guide.

How is it structured?: This supply of goods agreement template can be used to create a written contract between a customer and the supplier (that both parties will sign), or alternatively to produce a set of terms and conditions that the supplier can incorporate into its contract with customers in another way (e.g. by referring to those terms and conditions in its order forms). Where the terms and conditions option is used, please see our order form template which can be used to incorporate the terms and conditions into a contract with the customer.
