Vendor Agreement services by Helpink Business Consulting Agency ensure that businesses in Bangladesh can establish secure, compliant, and legally sound relationships with vendors. Our Vendor Agreements are crafted in accordance with the Contract Act of 1872 and other relevant government regulations, ensuring clarity in the roles, responsibilities, and expectations between a business and its vendors.
Key Components of Vendor Agreements:
Scope of Products/Services: Helpink ensures that Vendor Agreements clearly define the type, quantity, and quality of products or services the vendor will provide. This ensures both parties are aligned and mitigates the risk of disputes.
Pricing and Payment Terms: The agreement includes detailed terms on pricing, invoicing, and payment schedules, adhering to the Income Tax Ordinance, 1984 to maintain tax compliance for both the vendor and the client. Helpink also addresses late payments and penalties.
Delivery and Inspection: Delivery timelines, locations, and the inspection of goods or services upon delivery are outlined. Helpink ensures compliance with The Sale of Goods Act, 1930, which governs the sale and transfer of ownership of goods.
Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure: The agreement includes clauses to protect sensitive business information. This is especially critical for businesses dealing with proprietary processes or intellectual property, which is governed by The Copyright Act, 2000.
Liability and Indemnification: Helpink incorporates clauses that outline the vendor's liability in case of defective products or non-performance, ensuring alignment with Bangladesh’s tort laws and Consumer Rights Protection Act, 2009.
Termination Clauses: The Vendor Agreement specifies the conditions under which the agreement may be terminated, as well as the consequences, such as refunds or penalties. These clauses follow the principles set out in The Contract Act, 1872.
Dispute Resolution: To handle conflicts, Helpink includes dispute resolution mechanisms such as mediation or arbitration, following the Arbitration Act, 2001, ensuring a smooth and legally compliant process.
