Document background
The Development And Supply Agreement is a crucial document used when a customer requires both custom product development services and ongoing supply of the developed products. This agreement, governed by Austrian law, is particularly relevant in scenarios where standard off-the-shelf products do not meet specific requirements, necessitating custom development followed by regular supply. It combines elements of a service agreement (for the development phase) with a supply agreement (for the production phase), carefully addressing intellectual property rights, quality standards, and regulatory compliance. The document is structured to protect both parties' interests while ensuring clarity in responsibilities and deliverables across both phases. It incorporates provisions compliant with Austrian commercial law (UGB), civil code (ABGB), and relevant EU regulations, making it suitable for both domestic and international business relationships.
