A product supply agreement is an agreement in which a supplier sells products to a business, and specifies the terms for the transactions, including the price, timing, quantities, delivery, shipping, payment terms, exclusivity, return of defective or nonconforming goods, and return of unsold goods. A supplier may be a distributor, wholesaler, dealer, or merchant.
In Hawaii, a product supply agreement is a legally binding contract between a supplier and a business that outlines the terms and conditions of the sale and purchase of products. These agreements typically cover various aspects such as pricing, order quantities, delivery schedules, shipping methods, payment terms, and conditions for exclusivity. They also address the handling of defective or nonconforming goods, including returns and replacements, as well as the return of unsold goods. The Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), as adopted by Hawaii, governs transactions involving the sale of goods and would apply to product supply agreements. It is important for businesses to ensure that these agreements are carefully drafted to protect their interests and to comply with applicable state and federal laws. An attorney can provide valuable assistance in drafting, reviewing, and negotiating the terms of a product supply agreement to ensure it meets the specific needs of the business and adheres to legal requirements.
