Document background
The General Supply Contract serves as a foundational document for establishing and managing ongoing supply relationships between commercial entities under Swiss law. It is particularly relevant for businesses engaged in regular procurement or supply of goods or services, whether in domestic or international trade contexts. The document addresses essential elements required by the Swiss Code of Obligations while incorporating commercial best practices. It typically includes detailed provisions on ordering procedures, delivery terms, quality standards, warranties, risk allocation, and payment terms. This type of contract is suitable for both straightforward supply arrangements and complex supply chain relationships, providing flexibility to accommodate specific industry requirements while maintaining legal certainty under Swiss jurisdiction.
