risk level indicator at Medium level

The Legal Risk Score of a Manufacturing Agreement Template is Medium

Our legal team have marked this document as medium risk considering:

  • There are no obligations to manufacture and deliver until purchase orders are made.
  • Intellectual property rights are heavily protected in favor of the Purchaser, potentially limiting the Manufacturer's use of the goods beyond the scope of the agreement.
  • The Manufacturer has the right to refuse, cancel, or delay any shipment under certain conditions, which could lead to delays or complications in the supply chain for the Purchaser.

Users familiar with such agreements will recognize that while the document provides a structured approach to manufacturing and supply, it requires careful management of obligations and rights to avoid potential operational and financial risks.
