This Umbrella Agreement is designed for use in situations where parties anticipate entering into multiple related agreements over time and wish to establish a consistent legal and commercial framework.

It includes essential provisions for contract formation, performance, and termination, while allowing flexibility for specific agreements to address particular transactions or services.
