Buying goods looks more straightforward than it usually turns out to be. The commercial terms get agreed, the purchase order goes out, and the real problems show up later. Delivery dates that don't line up with the remedy the customer thought it had. Acceptance procedures that were never defined well enough to enforce. A defective unit that turns out to be the tenth one this quarter. Customer-side counsel often come into these deals after the business has already settled the key points, and by then the leverage to fix the terms has usually thinned out.
In this webinar, Laura Frederick and Krista Lynn will walk through the mistakes customers make most often in goods contracts and what to do instead. They'll cover delivery timing requirements that don't match the liquidated damages provisions meant to back them up, quality control and acceptance procedures that leave the customer without a workable remedy, and contracts that handle one bad unit reasonably well but fall apart when the issue becomes a recall, a remediation effort, or a serial defect. They'll also look at payment structures and security interests that give the customer less protection than it assumes, along with the places where warranty terms and service levels overlap, conflict, or leave a gap neither one covers.
