Document background
The Framework Agreement Contract is a fundamental commercial document used to establish long-term business relationships under Danish law. It is particularly suitable for situations where parties anticipate ongoing transactions but want to avoid negotiating terms for each individual deal. This type of agreement sets out the master terms governing future business dealings, including ordering processes, pricing structures, service levels, and risk allocation. The framework nature allows for flexibility while maintaining certainty in the core commercial and legal terms. Typically used in both private and public sector contexts, it must comply with Danish contract law principles and, where applicable, EU regulations, particularly in public procurement scenarios. The document creates efficiency by eliminating the need for repeated negotiations of standard terms while allowing for specific details to be determined in individual orders or call-offs.
