Australian Supply Agreement Drafting

Identify the supplier, customer, goods or services, specifications and intended jurisdiction. Provide ordering rules, forecasts, minimum quantities, delivery locations and payment terms. Include any required quality checks or acceptance process so the draft can distinguish an indicative forecast from a binding purchase commitment.

Explain who arranges transport, when delivery occurs, who bears loss or damage, and when ownership should pass. Identify any retention-of-title instructions and existing security arrangements. Review the resulting clauses together, since the intended ownership provision may also require separate security advice or registration steps.

Describe the product standards, inspection process, defect reporting, return arrangements and responsibilities for a safety incident or recall. Identify the customer type and product category. Review the draft for applicable consumer and product obligations rather than assuming a negotiated warranty can remove mandatory rights.

State whether accepted orders continue, how deposits and unpaid invoices are handled, and what happens to unused materials or customer-owned property. Include transition or replacement-supply requirements where relevant. Check that termination provisions work with the ordering process, stock commitments and any continuing warranty or confidentiality obligations.
