Document background
The General Supply Agreement serves as a foundational document for establishing and managing ongoing supply relationships between commercial parties under Swiss law. It is particularly useful for businesses engaged in regular procurement or supply of goods, whether in a domestic or international context. The agreement comprehensively addresses all aspects of the supply relationship, including product specifications, ordering mechanisms, delivery terms, quality standards, warranties, and risk allocation. It incorporates mandatory provisions of Swiss law, particularly the Swiss Code of Obligations, while allowing flexibility to accommodate specific commercial requirements. This document is essential for businesses seeking to establish clear, legally compliant supply chains while managing commercial risks and ensuring operational efficiency.
