Document background
This Master Agreement And Sub Agreement structure is designed for businesses requiring a flexible yet comprehensive framework for managing complex, ongoing commercial relationships under Australian law. It is particularly valuable when parties anticipate multiple related transactions or services that need to be governed by consistent overarching terms while maintaining flexibility for specific arrangements. The Master Agreement establishes the fundamental terms, conditions, and protocols that apply universally across all sub-agreements, while individual sub-agreements detail specific services, deliverables, or transaction terms. This structure is commonly used in long-term business relationships, complex service arrangements, or group-wide procurement frameworks, providing efficiency in contract management while ensuring consistency in key terms such as liability, dispute resolution, and governance.
