E-Agreements
E-Agreements provide global parties with a common set of rules by which they agree to exchange electronic data or to collaborate electronically.
These rules supplement the basic underlying agreements for goods, services or collaborative efforts providing a framework for electronic trading and collaboration.
Use of a standard template provides benefits to both Prime and Supplier.
The terms and conditions in these templates can be reused by all Parties eliminating the need to re-negotiate independent terms and conditions for every new situation.
