The Frame Agreement is designed for businesses seeking to establish a long-term commercial relationship under New Zealand law, where multiple transactions are anticipated over time. It provides a efficient way to manage recurring business dealings by setting out standard terms and conditions that will apply to all future transactions, while allowing flexibility for specific details to be agreed upon for each individual order. This type of agreement is particularly useful when parties expect to conduct regular business together but cannot predict the exact scope or timing of future transactions. The Frame Agreement includes provisions for ordering procedures, pricing mechanisms, performance standards, and risk allocation, all while ensuring compliance with New Zealand legal requirements including the Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017 and Fair Trading Act 1986.
