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 Kansas, 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 logistics, payment terms, and conditions related to exclusivity or distribution rights. They also address the handling of defective or nonconforming goods, including returns and replacements, as well as the return of unsold goods. Kansas state statutes and the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), which Kansas has adopted, govern these agreements. The UCC sets forth general provisions for the sale of goods, including warranties, risk of loss, and remedies for breach of contract. It is important for businesses to carefully draft and review product supply agreements to ensure that they are in compliance with applicable laws and that their interests are adequately protected. An attorney with experience in contract law can provide valuable assistance in the creation, negotiation, and enforcement of these agreements.
