最新糖心Vlog

This module outlines the basic principles and steps involved in the earliest stages of developing an agreement.

Highlights include:

• A preliminary checklist for preparation;
• Triggers that indicate whether an agreement needs to be formally documented in a formal written contract;
• How to work out your bargaining position through the 鈥淧.A.N.鈥� (preferred, acceptable, not-negotiable) approach;
• A 鈥減re-agreement evaluation matrix鈥� for 最新糖心Vlog contracts, to help you quickly evaluate the relevant 最新糖心Vlog context and motivations behind a proposed contract.
• Transitioning from 鈥渘egotiation鈥� to a 鈥渂inding contract鈥�, and how you can protect yourself from making this transition before you are ready.

Highlights include:

• Specific examples of the kinds of contracts that require formal written contracts;
• Specialist areas that need to be consulted and the internal processes that apply to certain types of agreements;
• Who should draft contracts, and when standard form contracts might be used;

Module 3

This module discusses records management in the context of contracting.聽 Although records management is not a discrete stage of contracting, it is presented through its own module to highlight its importance as an essential activity that should be constantly happening throughout the life of any contract.

• Key record keeping obligations that attach to contracting on behalf of the 最新糖心Vlog; and
• Why records management is essential, and the importance of an evidence trail for every contract;

Module 4

This module explains the use of common, stock-standard clauses 鈥� often called 鈥渂oilerplate鈥� clauses, within contracts.聽 For instance, clauses that identify which state or country will be treated as the jurisdiction whose laws will govern the agreement, or clauses that state that the written contract represents the 鈥渆ntire agreement鈥� between the parties.

Highlights include:

• Explanation of common standard terms or clauses that appear in many contracts 鈥� often called 鈥渂oilerplate鈥� clauses;
• Clauses that should not be treated as boilerplate, but need to be specifically considered before signing (鈥渄anger鈥� clauses);

Module 7
