Can I terminate a vendor agreement at any time?

It depends on the contract. We recommend agreeing a right of termination with a notice period (e.g. 30–90 days) and an immediate termination right for material breach.

How to handle a vendor price increase?

The contract should include a pricing clause — either a fixed price or an indexation mechanism (e.g. based on the CPI inflation index).

How to handle vendor failure with a substitute supply clause?

The contract should include a substitute performance clause — the buyer's right to purchase from another vendor at the original vendor's cost in case of delay or non-performance.

What are INCOTERMS and why include them?

INCOTERMS are international delivery terms defining who bears costs and risk during transport (e.g. EXW, FCA, DDP). For international deliveries they are essential to eliminate ambiguity.
