Document background
The Equipment Maintenance Agreement is essential for businesses operating technical equipment or machinery in Germany that requires regular maintenance and servicing. This document is commonly used when establishing a long-term maintenance relationship between a service provider and equipment owner/operator, ensuring compliance with German technical safety regulations and industry standards. The agreement typically covers routine maintenance, emergency repairs, service level commitments, and liability provisions, all structured within the framework of German contract law, particularly the German Civil Code (BGB) and Commercial Code (HGB). It's particularly important for industries where equipment uptime is critical and where maintenance must meet strict regulatory requirements.
