Document background
The Delivery Contract (Liefervertrag) is a fundamental commercial agreement used in Austrian business practice for establishing a structured framework for the supply and delivery of goods. This document is essential when parties need to formalize their supply relationship, whether for one-time deliveries or ongoing supply arrangements. It should be used whenever there is a need to clearly define delivery obligations, quality requirements, risk transfer points, and warranty terms under Austrian law. The contract ensures compliance with the Austrian Civil Code (ABGB), Commercial Code (UGB), and relevant EU regulations, while also accommodating international trade aspects when applicable. It's particularly important for businesses engaged in regular supply relationships, requiring detailed specifications of delivery terms, quality standards, and risk allocation.
