Supply agreement template: frequently asked questions

Are forecasts binding?

Only if the contract says so. Many supply agreements make near-term forecasts partly binding to support production planning.

What is a last-time buy?

A final chance to order a product before it is discontinued, so the buyer can stock up.

Is an electronically signed supply agreement legally binding?

In most countries, yes. E-signatures are recognised for commercial contracts under laws such as the ESIGN Act (US), eIDAS (EU), the Electronic Communications Act (UK) and the Information Technology Act (India). econtracts.ai adds a certificate of completion with each signer’s identity check and a fingerprint of the signed content.

Can I get a supply agreement I received reviewed?

Yes. Upload it to econtracts.ai and you get a plain-language review: key dates, money and points to check, each quoting the clause it comes from.
