The document typically includes comprehensive provisions for contract formation, performance standards, risk allocation, and dispute resolution, while allowing flexibility for specific terms to be set in subsequent agreements. It's especially valuable for complex business relationships where multiple divisions or entities will be engaging in various transactions or projects over time.
