Übersetzung für "Zuliefervertrag" in Englisch

In the United Kingdom, subcontracting agreements are not regulated by any specific set of rules.

I don't recall signing any purchasing agreement.

Every subcontract should set out clearly the delivery arrangements for the product which it covers.

Where the appropriate conditions are met, therefore, the rules governing a subcontract should be sought primarily in the relevant Convention.

In some cases, a subcontract may, of course, have to be classified as a simple sales contract, on account of the form of the agreement.

In fact, a particular contract may be classified as a sales contract or as a contract for the supply of goods and services (see 1. above).

Subcontracting may also involve the supply of equipment by the licensor to be used in the production of the goods and services covered by the agreement.

The changes required are not, however, always to product specification and may simply be to the documentation required or the testing to be carried out for the purpose of quality control; the subcontract should in each case provide the procedure governing the way in which such changes can be effected and by whom the costs should be borne.

To ensure that the subcontracting agreement is correctly executed in every respect, these must be supported by a system of quality control at all stages of manufacture.

The subcontractor must ensure that he accepts responsibility only for the functioning of the part or assembly which he has produced as described in the technical specification; the defect which the quality control system is designed to detect is by definition a manufacturing defect (whether of workmanship or materials) and not a defect of design for which, as we have already seen, responsibility rests firmly with the main contractor under the normal industrial sub-

If, unusually, the subcontractor were to have to accept responsibility in legal terms for defects in design of the components which it supplied, this should always be specifically referred to in the subcontract.

Such subcontracts can, however, be found in most sectors of industrial production.

This means that responsibility for the production of the subcontract part in accordance with the requirements of the sub-contract's own technical specification rests with the subcontractor.

On the other hand, however detailed the requirements of the contract and however much co-operation has been given by the subcontractor in arriving at the final technical specifications, it should again be emphasized that liability for the design of the part should be clearly imposed by the terms of the subcontract on the

When the subcontract is itself being entered into, a similar clause should be included protecting all the confidential information provided by both parties to each other.

CLAUSES RESTRICTING THE RIGHTS OF THE SUBCONTRACTOR AND DOMESTIC COMPETITION LAW

It should be pointed out, however, that the Netherlands has ratified the Hague Convention of 1964 on the international sale of goods and the Vienna Convention of 1980. Where the appropriate conditions are met, therefore, the rules governing a subcontract should be sought primarily in the relevant Convention.

Often the sub contractor has little idea of the exact circumstances in which its component is to be utilised and the requirements which will be expected from it, unless these are fully set out in the sub contract specifications.

Here, very often it happens that when parties face the problem openly they find it difficult to agree which country's law should apply; alternatively, they do not face the issue and leave uncertain the relevant system of law (hoping that no disputes over the sub contract will arise), an approach which is itself potentially dangerous to both of them.

The basic objective for a subcontractor is that the law governing the subcontract should be one with which it is familiar.

With a few exceptions, subcontracting agreements are not covered as such by any specific rules and therefore come under the general law of contract.

Where the appropriate conditions are met, therefore, the rules governing a subcontract should be sought primarily in the Hague Convention although it applies only to trade between the small number of countries which have ratified it.
