Document background
The Supply Contract Agreement is a crucial commercial document used to establish and govern the ongoing supply relationship between a supplier and buyer under Swiss law. It is particularly relevant for businesses requiring regular procurement of goods or materials, whether for manufacturing, resale, or operational purposes. The agreement addresses key aspects such as ordering procedures, delivery terms, quality standards, warranties, and risk allocation, while ensuring compliance with Swiss legal requirements, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations. This document is essential for both domestic Swiss transactions and international trade relationships, providing clarity on commercial terms and risk allocation while incorporating necessary protections for both parties. The agreement's structure allows for customization based on specific industry requirements, supply complexity, and risk profile, while maintaining consistency with Swiss commercial law principles.
