Document background
The General Terms Agreement serves as a fundamental legal framework for establishing and managing business relationships under Canadian law. This document is typically used when parties need a comprehensive foundation for ongoing business interactions that may involve multiple transactions or services over time. It incorporates essential provisions required by Canadian federal and provincial legislation, addressing key aspects such as contract formation, performance standards, risk allocation, and dispute resolution mechanisms. The agreement is designed to be flexible enough to accommodate various business arrangements while ensuring compliance with Canadian legal requirements, including considerations for both common law jurisdictions and Quebec's civil law system. It can be customized through additional schedules and appendices to address specific business needs while maintaining a consistent legal foundation.
